Since publishing Layered Money earlier this year, my life has changed because of you, the reader. Thank you all for your messages on social media, reviews on Amazon, and purchases. Your support has unleashed the career I’ve been trying to transition toward since you read The Time Value of Bitcoin in 2018, when the price of bitcoin was around $6,000 and Lightning Network was only a few months old. And now here I am, retired bond trader, newborn writer, on a mission: to educate the world about bitcoin and promote its usage for the betterment of humanity.
In that mission, I’m launching The Bitcoin Layer, a research publication to guide readers through the transformative changes happening within our monetary and financial systems because of bitcoin. Consider it picking up where the book left off—how is bitcoin changing the monetary system in front of our eyes, where is it on that path, and is it heading to a price beyond $1 million?
What about a second book?
Documenting the rise of bitcoin in real-time is more important for readers right now than another book. The world is changing so fast, and I don’t want another year to pass before meaningfully engaging with you again. We are all witnessing the rise of bitcoin, and I’d like to help narrate it in depth. Finally, Substack adding bitcoin and Lightning Network (LN) payments sealed the deal. Being enamored with LN since its conceptual days, the opportunity to participate in the growth of its economy was impossible to pass up. I’ve long preached that LN paves the way for bitcoin to become the world reserve currency, so it’s time to lead by example. I hope you’ll join me.
Why subscribe?
This publication will represent my opinions, analysis, and research; it is not financial advice. I’ll be employing every component of the research arsenal I’ve gathered since 2010: global macroeconomics, geopolitics, the Federal Reserve, interest rate markets, price study, bitcoin, Lightning Network, and the future of digital currency. The Bitcoin Layer will be published regularly, delivering timely analysis and in-depth research focusing on how bitcoin is actively swallowing parts of the legacy financial system, one at a time. And at times, we’ll discuss bitcoin’s price and its uniquely violent and dramatic volatility.
The publication is $10/month or $100/year ($25/quarter if paying in bitcoin/LN); please consider subscribing so that I can be here, by your side, to document the monetary renaissance. If you plan to use this publication in a professional setting, please consider becoming a Founding Member. I will also occasionally publish research free for everyone to read. Subscribe, and I promise to stream you intelligent coverage of bitcoin on its path to becoming the world reserve currency.
