That's me on the far left at the Learning Bitcoin Conference a couple of weeks ago in Vancouver.
I was the moderator on a panel discussing inflation...we could have been up there for hours on that subject, LOL!
It's always a treat to hang out with new and veteran Bitcoiners. This event was a bit different than usual because the first day was a fully interactive workshop hosted by Pablo from Bull Bitcoin.
Highly recommend checking out their event next year if you get the chance.
There's clearly a shift in the force happening right now.
And this week, these charts caught our attention and prove our point.
Check out the latest Canadian payroll employment numbers:

Payroll decreased by 32K in June and the only two sectors that were positive were, get this, Arts, Entertainment & Recreation by a small amount...and Public Administration.
All other sectors were negative.
Let's repeat that, and yes it's only one month, but all other sectors were down.
This is not the sign of a healthy economy.
And in case it's not glaringly obvious...it's all the other sectors that pay for Public Administration jobs.
So we're losing jobs in all the areas that pay for the government jobs.
Not good, not good at all.
Don't worry, we'll explain how this is a positive further down.
But first check out these charts.
The U.S. Dollar is losing value against gold quite rapidly now.

Last we checked it's roughly the same for the Loonie.
It's strange that when a currency really begins to lose value how most of the population doesn't notice.
But most people do notice their grocery bills and that's been going through the roof.
Heck, I went to the butcher on the weekend and couldn't believe the prices.
And it seems like Central Banks around the world are noticing a shift in the value of the USD as well.
Check this out...

Central banks have shifted course and begun buying more gold.
And guess what they're getting rid of?

Look at that...they're not too keen on holding U.S. Treasuries it would seem. They're definitely not aggressively adding USD-denominated debt to their balance sheets.
The U.S. Treasury was once considered the "safest" asset to hold, and even the "risk free rate of return".
We're in the Fourth Turning.
There's been a shift in the force.
The smart money is already taking action as you can see above.
Once again, asset owners are going to win.
And anyone holding dollar denominated financial instruments are left hoping that the gains in those outpace the rate of debasement.
To us, in this environment, there is great opportunity.
Most of that starts with good hard assets.
The type where new shares cannot be issued overnight or new dollars can't be printed into existence.
It's why we like some combination of cash-flowing rental properties.
Yes, the ones that pay for themselves with actual cash flow. Most real estate investors forgot about this over the last 10 years and played the speculation game.
And Gold. A hard asset without any counterparty risk.
And Bitcoin. A hard digital asset that lives on a brand new global monetary network. And also has no counterparty risk.
We have our next Your Life. Your Terms. Event coming up on October 18, 2025 where we are going to do a deep dive on all of this.
And we're going to go down the A.I. rabbit hole too because there is great new opportunity for all of us with the emergence of this.
There is also great opportunity in learning the skills you need to create cash flow with your own business built anywhere in the world.
We're going to pull back the curtain on Saturday, October 18 and reveal all our strategies and tactics in business building.
Building your own cash flow machine has never been easier with the technology available to you.
Knowing how to do it, in our opinion, offers you pure global freedom.
The shift in the global economic force is so strong that the theme of this one is Star Wars.
So block off the date now and get ready to have some fun.
That's it for this week,
Tom & Nick
