If risk only converts, what are you converting it into?
Markets don’t erase risk—they convert it. We take that idea and rebuild a portfolio playbook for a debasement era, where traditional bonds feel shaky, equities look priced for exogenous gains, and investors are piling into gold, Bitcoin, and “boomer candy” buffered ETFs. We unpack what each tool actually does: the three jobs bonds used to do, why gold protects purchasing power but can’t fund groceries, how Bitcoin’s inelastic supply plus ETF flows can drive hyperbolic moves, and where structu...
