I learned so much yesterday

by | May 23, 2025

Yesterday was a very… very… very strange day for me…

At about 11:15, I was sitting in my office, and the room started spinning FAST… I was nauseous and something was clearly wrong… so I had a co-worker drive me across the street to urgent care.

While in the waiting room I was dizzy, weak, sweating like crazy, and sick to my stomach… convinced I was dying.

It turns out, I was not! (Great news for those of you who enjoy this newsletter… I hope 🙂)

What I was suffering from was Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo, or BPPV. Apparently, it’s pretty common, pretty temporary, and not all that serious as long as you avoid major falls.

Which would have been nice to know before I spent 60 minutes preparing to meet my maker.

The weirdest thing about going through that though was that by 1:30 or so, I felt mostly fine. Still a little light-headed, very tired, and a little shaken… but nothing was really “wrong.”

So I was still perfectly able and honestly excited to hop on and host the emergency Bitcoin Roundtable that we brought together to celebrate Bitcoin hitting all-time highs on back-to-back days.

And boy… am I glad I didn’t ask someone to step in for me.

Because I learned more about Bitcoin in an hour than I’ve learned in five years before that — and I felt like I already knew a fair amount about Bitcoin!

When this picture was taken, Kane was blowing my mind by shifting my perspective about how to view Bitcoin.

And then, Jeffry blew ALL of our minds later on by explaining the real secret about how Bitcoin works on the blockchain!

It’s a session that’s well worth your time (unless the room is spinning violently for you… then go see a doctor and drink some water!)

Watch the whole session here, it was fantastic

I might do a review early next week of some of the key takeaways, but I really would rather encourage you to watch it first. There’s too much gold in there for me to summarize it!

And don’t forget: yesterday’s Roundtable was just a teaser for next week on Wednesday, when these four experts PLUS Roger Scott, Lance Ippolito, and Chris Pulver will join me for “Decision Point 2025.”

Thursday’s GDP print will be a critical inflection point in the market and we want to help you prepare on Wednesday at 1pm ET!

Make sure you save a seat here (because our Zoom Room has a limited capacity)

Have a great three-day weekend! Talk to you Tuesday!

To your prosperity,

P.S. For the first time in 2025, we’re seeing a multi-week pullback in gold and Geof Smith tells us it could be the perfect entry point!
