Dear Readers,

The American people got their wish, and an enormous promise was kept. Intensity doesn’t even begin to describe the emotion flowing around Ross Ulbricht reuniting with his family. Bitcoiners felt their voice heard today, but many of us are at a loss for words on simultaneous shock and empathy.

Today’s letter contains a preview of my upcoming book Bitcoin Age. I discuss the combination of today’s market action and my book’s major theme: bitcoin’s role in a world of credit expansion. Twice in December I wrote to you about how the world is changing, and I consider this a continuation of that series (Part 1 and 2). I’m realizing it might not be the world, but my own analysis that is changing as I enter the 9th inning on this two-year book writing journey in an effort to summarize what makes bitcoin so special. I have several charts, a book preview, a reflective tone, and some strong conclusions after only one day of Trump-era market action with 11 charts to help illustrate.

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.
