On October 28 at 12 PM CT, Mark Moss and Unchained’s Jeff Vandrew will cover:

Why the “illusion of wealth” hides the true weakness of fiat-based retirement accounts
Why bitcoin’s scarcity and growth curve make it the cheat code for retirement planning
How rolling an old 401(k) into a bitcoin IRA could offer tax advantages and help build generational wealth Learn how bitcoin can protect your purchasing power, strengthen your retirement plan, and offer a level of sovereignty no other retirement asset can.

Tuesday, Oct 28 at 12:00 PM CT — online, free to attend.

Stabilizing Argentina IS America First

The news cycle for the past several weeks has been filled with Trump’s multibillion dollar bailout, although perhaps better described as a “currency swap,” to Argentina. Most recently, Argentinian president Javier Milei’s party won the midterm vote in a dominant fashion, giving “the libertarian leader a strong foothold in Congress to continue pursuing aggressive free-market policies that have won praise and a financial lifeline from Donald Trump.” This result came after the president’s party suffered a landslide defeat to the opposition in a September local vote in the province of Buenos Aires (home to more than a third of the country’s voters) leading to a selloff of the peso and the Trump administration extending financial support to help both the country’s currency and its government.

Argentina, historically, was an incredibly wealthy nation until it started a path toward the political left alongside the rest of South America during the 20th century after a pair of world wars. Matt Dines brilliantly described in a sweeping must-listen interview how Argentina failed to develop its own robust financial system and why it needs the United States as an ally now more than ever.
