Jack Dorsey, CEO of Twitter and Square is known for being into Bitcoin. But it was when he was asked about what his hopes are for Bitcoin at The B Word conference this past summer that he gave what can appear to be an utterly absurd answer. What did Jack say? He answered, “My hope…More
Jesus > Bitcoin
Right now, one bitcoin is worth the equivalent of an average Canadian’s yearly wage. According to the most recent year of data from Stats Canada (2019), the average annual salary for a Canadian is about $50,000 CAD. A whole year of work – of blood, sweat and tears to earn this money. But in this…More
Dave Ramsey: Right Principles. Wrong System.
Dear Dave, I want to tell you a story. My wife is both an amazing mom to our two young kids and a supply teacher who picks up shifts on occasion when we are looking for some extra cash. A few weeks ago, she decided she would take a shift teaching online. Schools were desperate…More
Dear Christian Leader: You need to embrace Bitcoin
It is with a posture of humility that I propose what will at first sound like a crazy idea. Let me get it out of the way, and then subsequently build the case: I would like to suggest that you, your church and the Christian ministries that you support align themselves with Bitcoin. This should…More
The Problem of the Resurrection of Jesus

Yet I write this article because I’m wrestling with two potential options for wealth building which are before me. The one path is tried and tested: rental real estate. The other…More
First Principles and Meritocracy
One of the most fascinating discussions about Bitcoin I’ve ever heard comes from an interview featuring Robert Breedlove and Anthony Pompliano called, “An Open Letter to Ray Dalio.” Correction: this is simply one of the most fascinating conversations I’ve ever heard about economics and philosophy. While there are dozens of talking point, and the podcast…More
Is Bitcoin 100% faith?
I was watching an interview on Bloomberg with Jeremy Grantham this week where he was predicting a market crash on the near horizon. At one point late in the show he was asked about Bitcoin and make this doozy of a statement: “Bitcoin is 100% faith. Come the next market phase where faith is at…More
