We have a new co-host of the Your Life! Your Terms! Show.
Our father.
See him sitting there?
That non-smile look he is giving is the closest thing he’ll ever give as an actual smile.
I think I’ve seen him smile maybe 4 times in his entire life. One time for the birth of each of his grandchildren, that’s it, LOL!
He’s 85-years old, has more hair than Nick and I combined and walks and walks kilometers every day between hanging out with his friends to talk politics and argue about sports.
He’s from a different era, cut from a different cloth.
When he walks around our office and quietly says hello to everyone he’ll ask us afterwards “what do people do on the computers?”.
He grew up in a village with no running water, no indoor plumbing, no toilet … heck our family house in Croatia only had three walls. It was literally built into the side of a rock formation. The common areas are exposed to the elements.
As a kid we would visit almost every summer and we would bathe in the same large bucket they washed clothes in.
They raised cows, pigs, chickens, sheep and had fields of potatoes, wheat, corn and vineyards all over the place.
So to say our father is from a different era is perhaps even an understatement.
The big breakthrough in technology in the village was getting a phone line in 1986. They treated the phone like a magic box and covered it carefully with clothes so it wouldn’t get dirty.
Heck the stove they used right into the late 1990s was wood burning.
So imagine trying to explain not just computers to our father but Artificial Intelligence?
Now just for a second imagine you at 85-years-old.
What is technology going to look like then?
Imagine explaining to your 18-year-old grandchild how primitive AI was in 2025.
AI is the worst it’s ever going to be right now.
It only gets better, smarter, faster and more useful from here.
Now let’s ask the next question…
What grows faster from here?
The existing economy, the existing analog economy that is trying to morph itself into a digital world?
Or a brand new digital economy full of AI, AI agents working 24/7 and 365 days a year?
Our world is diving into three categories:
1. The existing economy which is struggling with high debt loads, low population growth and a money system that requires ongoing debasement.
2. A growing government driven economy which does more and more of the hiring, provides more and more of the spending and eventually offers Universal Basic Income in some fashion to win votes. This part of the economy has no incentive to be productive.
Check out this data from Richard Dias…

3. A brand new digital economy full of AI, native cryptographic sound money (hello Bitcoin), efficient and full of productivity improvements that drive down costs and are reflected in the increase in value of the native money (Bitcoin).
Which of those three are you participating in?
Now is NOT the time to ignore these trends.
This is like finding prime land on the outskirts of a growing metropolis and being given the opportunity to own some grade-A digital real estate.
You want to own some of the new economy.
We have concluded the best way for us to play this going forward is this…
(Quick Aside: We get asked all the time so here it is … we like the team over at Bull Bitcoin and regularly recommend them for anything Bitcoin related … you can check them out and get preferred rates by signing up for a free account via RockStarBTC.ca … their support is top notch.)
We believe a combination of these two allows us to navigate the choppy waters ahead in the best possible way.
For some that will be 90% physical real estate (investment property) and 10% digital real estate (Bitcoin).
For others it will be 50/50.
And for others it will be 90% digital real estate and 10% physical.
Adjust to your personal preference, needs and goals.
But mark our words.
As old-fashioned as our father’s family village looks today … our current economy is going to look laughably old in very short order.
The time to prepare and set yourself up is now.
Fun times ahead! Turbulent but fun!
Enjoy the ride!!
Tom & Nick
