TBL Thinks: Vance Sets American Vision
Share

Dear Readers,

It’s Thinking Time! This week we do a deep dive into JD Vance’s speech at the American Dynamism Summit held by venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) last week. The theme of the conference, American Dynamism, is also the name of an a16z fund focused on companies supporting what the fund calls “the national interest” and comprises of companies in the fields of aerospace, defense technology, and supply chains.

TBL Thinks is our way to summarize the most important paywalled, longer reads relevant to global macroeconomics, helping you cut through the noise. With that in mind, please enjoy.


As bitcoin's role in the global financial landscape evolves, understanding its potential impact on your wealth becomes increasingly crucial. Whether we see measured adoption or accelerated hyperbitcoinization, being prepared for various scenarios can make the difference between merely participating and truly optimizing your position.

This is why Unchained developed the Bitcoin Calculator – a sophisticated modeling tool that helps you visualize and prepare for multiple bitcoin futures. Beyond traditional retirement planning, it offers deep insight into how different adoption scenarios could transform your wealth trajectory.

What sets this tool apart is its integration with the Unchained IRA – the only solution that combines the tax advantages of a retirement account with the security of self-custody. In any future state, maintaining direct control of your keys remains fundamental to your bitcoin strategy.
