Most people know it when they see it though. Culture influences what we think and how we act. Some aspects are derived from hundreds of years of history, while other aspects are created by athletes, celebrities, musicians, or the media.

To investors,The Russia-Ukraine conflict continued to increase in intensity over the weekend. While the violent combat has been playing out on the ground, the United States and their allies have been busy waging economic war against Vladimir Putin and Russia. There were a few key decisions made in the last 72 hours that got me thinking — we are watching a repeat of the conundrum that the Federal Reserve was in during the 2020 COVID crisis. First, let’s go back in time and revisit what happened in

2022/02/22

To investors,The invention of blockchain technology solved a decades-long computer science problem and unleashed a monetary revolution in the form of bitcoin. This decentralized, digital currency has taken the world by storm. It has been adopted by hundreds of millions of people globally and is worth approximately $1 trillion in market cap based on daily fluctuations in US dollar price.

To investors,The situation in Canada has received international attention across the internet. People are wondering how a liberal, democratic country could descend into authoritarian chaos so quickly. Disagreeing with subsets of your population, or opposite sides of the political debate, are an expected component of democratic societies, but the shocking aspect is how the Canadian government has decided to react. Rather than meet with the protestors to hear their complaints or encourage their

Financial Censorship Is Becoming Pervasive

2022/02/14

To investors,It was reported late last week that the United States would be confiscating billions of dollars from the central bank reserves of Afghanistan. This seemed a little weird at first, but I didn’t want to jump to conclusions since governments are always doing counter-intuitive or seemingly insane things.After digging into the story, it appears that this is a highly unusual decision that could have significant impact on finance, geopolitics, and technology moving forward. Here is what is

Russia Is Playing Geopolitical Chess

The Pomp Letter ·

2022/02/09

To investors,There have been a plethora of rumors about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in Russia over the last few months. The country sits in a unique geopolitical position — they are frienemies of the United States and have a deepening relationship with China, another frienemy of the western superpower.

To investors,News broke yesterday that the tax treatment of staking protocols, and the subsequent tokens earned, could be changing in a positive way. I’m not an expert on taxation, nor staking, so I asked one of the groups (Proof of Stake Alliance) involved to write up a quick summary on what has happened and the potential implications.

To investors,There has been a rise in interest for audience funded content over the last few years. Some of this has been driven by a decreasing trust in the mainstream media. Some of it has been facilitated by the explosion in tools and services aimed at helping individuals create and distribute content more easily.

Long-Term Investors Have Less Stress

The Pomp Letter ·

2022/01/27

To investors,Financial markets can be crazy at times. The complexity of an economy makes it nearly impossible to predict what will happen in the short and long-term. Humans are really bad at dealing with uncertainty, specifically when there is a dopamine-driven feedback loop of volatile price movements thrown in their face every few minutes. Let’s use bitcoin as an example. On at least 6 occasions last year, the digital asset fell in price more than 20%. There was a 50% drawdown in approximately 95

To investors,Bitcoin critiques have been proposing the idea of a government ban for the digital currency over the last decade. Their argument is that bitcoin threatens the US dollar or other fiat currencies, so governments around the world will intervene to stop the adoption of the asset.Most critics are willing to admit that it is unlikely that governments, militaries, or central banks could actually shut down the decentralized computing network. Instead, the critique revolves around the idea that

To investors,It is no secret that Turkey is experiencing painfully high levels of inflation right now. Economists’ expectations for inflation numbers in December are just over 30%, which includes estimations that range from 26% to 37%. Regardless of where the number officially ends up, the inflation that Turkish citizens are dealing with is hard to comprehend for investors in the developed, western world. Governments are not thrilled in these scenarios to take responsibility due to previous monetary
