Hey,

A few years ago, a trusted friend asked me something that didn’t land at first: “What is money?”

I shrugged it off. Money is money, right? We earn it, save it, invest it, spend it.

But that question stuck with me. And eventually, I started digging.

Money only holds value because we all agree it does. But here’s the kicker: the government can print more dollars at any time—and every time they do, your dollars lose purchasing power.

Let me give you a few examples:
— Bought a $500K home five years ago that’s now “worth” $700K?
— Earned $60K five years ago, now making $100K?

Did you build wealth—or just keep pace?

That curiosity led me to attend my first Bitcoin conference. Not as a fanboy or hype-chaser, but as a student. I wanted to understand: Could this really be different?

Here’s what stood out:

• The U.S. dollar is weakening—and that’s systemic.

• Gold has been reliable, but not perfect.

• Bitcoin is decentralized, capped at 21M, and can’t be manipulated by governments.

• Big players (the same ones who mocked it) are now buying in.

Am I saying buy Bitcoin? No.
Am I saying be curious? 100%.

As a Christian, my hope is in Jesus—not an asset class. But I also believe in wise stewardship. That includes learning how the world is changing and preparing for the long game.

This isn’t a pitch. It’s a nudge.

👉 Be curious. Do your homework. Don't wait for the headlines to catch up.

Stay Focused
