That's right.
It's that time of year.
My Leafs are up 2-0 against Ottawa and are we really even surprised?
Our goalie, Stolarz, is the second coming of Eddie Belfour.
Our coach is Pat Quinn the second.
And our D is the best we've had in decades.
And our forwards are going to deliver us Mr. Stanley.
Heck, the young Matthew Knies is Wendal Clark all over again ... passionate, scores goals, stands up for teammates.
I've been fortunate enough to be at both of the games so far and if the Leafs need another win I'm willing to go back again, LOL.
Nick was with me for Game 1.
Listen, there are a lot of Leafs doubters out there ... but when it's your time, it's your time. And our time is NOW!
GO LEAFS GO!
We're in a new era everyone, LOL.
And speaking of "a new era" there are such incredibly profound changes happening globally right now it's hard to keep up.
At the Your Life. Your Terms. Event we shared why the US is trying to impose tariffs on the world.
The money system with the US Dollar at the heart of it is completely broken.
Our dollars, here in Canada, are being devalued at almost 9% a year.
Meaning that if your income, investments, savings don't go up 9% every year, you're falling behind.
It's why so many Canadians feel frustrated.
They're working hard but aren't able to enjoy any fruits of their labour because their incomes are being washed away in a sea of monetary debasement.
It's horrible.
But there is hope.
I want to be very clear about the opportunity in front of you.
The world is moving from REGIONAL banking and GLOBAL trade...
...to REGIONAL trade and GLOBAL banking.
This is profound.
We can all debate the trade comment. Fine.
But we cannot debate the global banking trend.
Why?
Because it's already happening.
What most people do not understand is that there is a second, completely independent, global, financial network that has been deployed by mostly anonymous node runners.
There are tens of thousands of people running Bitcoin nodes around the world.
And that network is protected by the most powerful wall of computing energy ever assembled on planet earth.
No one can hack it, no one can change it, no one can give themselves some Bitcoin without either earning it fairly or mining it to protect the network.
This network allows people in Canada, Argentina, Croatia, Scotland, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, Vietnam to all transact with each other 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
Now we, as Canadians, don't have to struggle to get US Dollar bank accounts to pay someone in USD who happens to be in Florida or Mexico.
You don't have to beg a Canadian bank for a US dollar account or pay for a bank draft.
On your phone, you can send BTC or USDT in an instant.
Now...
Layer in unlimited intelligence with AI on top of global banking and you get a truly free market that has more power to create global value than anything we've ever seen.
Now someone in Colombia can access the best AI, create a company, deploy a product or service and accept payment completely independent of the current gatekeepers of technology or banking.
It's mind-blowing.
Greg Isenberg, a tech founder, shared a diagram below that summarizes the opportunity ahead for all of us.
We modified it and added a few things....

The old path was dying for some time.
It's now officially dead.
Wasting your time on that path isn't going to fulfill you and worse, may not support you financially.
Today, a 20-year-old can work on all of these things simultaneously and create pure freedom for themselves.
Global banking frees a person from being tied to one jurisdiction for their income, their business, and their lives.
And the most important pieces of "the new path" may be the relationships and mindset.
As technology creates more, it will also control more.
The people who are able to develop relationships with others who know, like and trust them will always have an audience and potential customers for whatever it is they are creating.
You want to be a person who adds value to those around you.
Being known as a person who curates good information will be of immense importance over the next few years as information forced into our daily lives goes exponential.
People will search for "information curators" who they can trust will filter and deliver concise summaries of what's important in different niches.
Your circle of family, or family+friends, or family+friends+local community, or family+friends+local community+province/state etc. etc. will be even more special and important than it is today.
And your mindset, your ability to think accurately about the current state of the world and your place in it, will be critical.
Your self-image, your confidence, your curiosity, your information processing ability... are all things to invest in and cultivate.
The era of scarcity, fear and single transactions is leaving the world and is being replaced by a world of abundance, love and long-term relationships.
Sounds crazy right?
Let's watch it roll out.
The journey from here to there is going to be very bumpy, but it'll be worth it.
The new path offers you pure optionality in life and unlimited freedom.
This week, we released the first Your Life. Your Terms. Event talk where Leon Wankum, who flew in from Germany, explains how real estate and Bitcoin can work together.
It's a fascinating chat.
And an example of everything we described above.
You can check out Leon's talk right here....

Global banking is going to free entrepreneurs to sell, transact and offer value globally.
This change is going to have a greater impact than "global trade".
Get excited, unlimited opportunities ahead!!
Tom & Nick
p.s. Go Leafs Go!!
