My latest newsletter is out! 🧡 Periods of uncertainty tend to reveal how systems function. Geopolitical conflict, fiscal pressure, and monetary expansion are not isolated events, they are part of a recurring cycle that has shaped financial systems throughout history. In this 36th edition, I examine how these dynamics affect property, wealth preservation, and why Bitcoin’s design offers a different framework for navigating an increasingly uncertain world. https://leonwankum.substack.com/p/why-bitcoins-properties…

My written pieces are finally also available on Nostr.

Newsletter #35 is out 🫡🤝💫 📝 4833079f…

In this edition of my newsletter, I explore why bear markets are not a failure of Bitcoin, but a prerequisite for its survival. https://leonwankum.substack.com/p/bitcoin-cycles-how-resi…

"A 'cosmic accounting' system incorporates the survival values of a life-sustaining environment, the values, in energy and time, of the production of fossil fuels by nature, and the values of a regenerative and adaptive energy system and of renewable materials. Using this system, our present ways of utilizing energy are seen to be ridiculously wasteful."—R. Buckminster Fuller on Bitcoin

Money shapes civilization long before politics reacts to it. Bitcoin’s trajectory does not depend on ideology or permission, but on its ability to coordinate human action more honestly than the systems it replaces.

My upcoming newsletter “Bitcoin Cycles: How Resilience Is Built” will be released early next week. 🤝 https://leonwankum.substack.com/

Back at it. 🥊

HNY.

We had a good run. Time to get back to work.

A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they know they shall never sit.

My newsletter "The Connection Between Money and Building Culture" is out! This essay is also part of my upcoming book 'Digital Real Estate', a project I've been working on for over 2.5 years. The writing process took far longer than expected, as I’ve tested every idea and strategy in practice—but the book is finally scheduled for release in Q2 2026. https://leonwankum.substack.com/p/the-connection-between-…

Poor design has always existed, but fiat amplifies it by fueling mass production through artificially cheap credit, rigid regulation, and political capture.

In this month’s edition of my newsletter, I delve into the story of Metaplanet, my most comprehensive piece yet! 📨 It was important to me to understand the Metaplanet story in its entirety. If it’s as significant as it appears, it deserves a closer look, not just as a successful publicly listed company, but as a potential framework for understanding global Bitcoin adoption. @Dylan LeClair @mcshane https://leonwankum.substack.com/p/the-metaplanet-story-fr…
