A Modern Money Crisis

Gold in 1980 and 2011…

Bitcoin in 2014, 2017, or 2021…

Even GameStop shares in 2021…

If you see an asset going parabolic, it’s time to take money off the table.

There’s no telling when that parabola will stall out – and give back its gains.

A spike in money supply typically occurs during a crisis. Not when the economic vibe is simply “uneasy” and bullish.

Today’s graph strips away delusion. A massive quantity of fiat money is propping up the stock market and global economy.

That’s a trend that cannot last.

Spoiler alert: The “use-case” for Ethereum as the backbone of a free market in tokenized assets is quite convincing. And compelling. You owe it to yourself to understand decentralized finance (DeFi) now. “It’s as powerful a disruptive innovation in banking as Netflix was to Blockbuster in the movie industry,” Ian asserts.

You Can’t Print That!

March 13, 2026 • Andrew Packer

The Federal Reserve can print money, but it can’t print oil. As energy prices surge and supply disruptions loom, the central bank may find itself with limited tools to fight inflation driven by real-world shortages.

The SPR Drain Is Worse than You Think

March 13, 2026 • Andrew Packer

The plan to release 172 million barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve would leave the U.S. with its smallest stockpile of emergency oil in more than four decades. And with tensions simmering globally, the shrinking reserve raises uncomfortable questions about how prepared the U.S. is for the next supply disruption…

When Macro and Seasonality Collide

March 12, 2026 • Andrew Packer

Headlines, a sluggish labor market, and persistent inflation are keeping the tone bearish, despite seasonal trends that usually turn bullish. But long-term investors can still find oversold opportunities if they buy strategically now…
