USC Pre-College Summer Program: Bitcoin & AI
Dear Readers,
This summer, I’ll be teaching a brand new course at USC titled Bitcoin & AI: Unlocking the Future of Finance and Technology. The course is available to all high school students around the world!
Become a “Summer Trojan” and earn college credit.
Immerse yourself in college life by selecting a college-level course in a single discipline that will proudly go on a USC transcript. Our four-week, on-campus program is a unique opportunity to join the Trojan family, connect with USC faculty, and explore a potential major before graduating from high school.

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.
❌ DON’T WRITE YOUR SEED ON PAPER 📝
It’s estimated that ~30% of Bitcoin is lost forever. Poor seed phrase security is a big reason why. This is why we use Stamp Seed, a DIY kit that enables you to hammer your seed words into a durable plate of titanium using professional stamping tools.
Heat-resistant to 3,000ºF, rust-proof, crush-proof, and time-proof
Compact and easy to hide
No loose parts, such as screws or letter tiles
