Zooming out

On Monday, I normally focus on the market update. These last days, I didn’t stop thinking about what I am about to share with you.

We’re living through the end of an era — and the beginning of a new one. And unless you’ve been deeply plugged in, you might not even realize that we’re already mid-transition.

Let’s break it down.

The Post-COVID Acceleration

The 2008 financial crisis broke the system.
COVID didn’t fix it — it accelerated it.

To keep the machine running, central banks printed trillions. That money didn’t disappear. It inflated assets, crushed savings, and fed into a feedback loop where every correction requires even more intervention.

We’ve crossed the point of no return. In both the U.S. and Europe, the banking system is now addicted to stimulus. Without constant support, cracks begin to show, and fast.

And so, quietly but surely, governments are preparing for what’s next.

CBDCs: A New Kind of Control

CBDCs: Central Bank Digital Currencies.

It sounds harmless. A digital euro. A digital dollar.

But make no mistake: this isn’t just “money on your phone.”

A CBDC is a wallet directly connected to your central bank.

It’s programmable money. It can be tracked, limited, taxed, expired, and frozen.

What does that mean? It means that people could directly access M1, the monetary mass (M) controlled by central banks. This has a lot of implications both in Economic theory and practice.

And the EU and IMF are already preparing for it. It seems that the Fed, through the new US government - abandoned this idea.

This isn’t a conspiracy. It’s happening right now.

Bitcoin and the New Bretton Woods

During my studies in economics, I wrote my bachelor thesis on the Bretton Woods Agreement: the historic moment that shaped the global financial order after WWII.

It redefined money, disconnected it from gold, and gave central banks unchecked monetary power.

We’re now witnessing the butterfly effect of that decision.

Bretton Woods came to unplug gold from money.

Now, Bitcoin has come to plug money with digital gold again.

The cycle is reversing.

A new monetary order is emerging.

The Great Rewiring of Finance

Here’s a sentence you won’t forget:

The financial infrastructure we’ve known for decades is being rebuilt from the ground up — and blockchain is the foundation layer.

Payments, banking, insurance, investing — even the concept of money itself — are being reshaped.

Most people are distracted by meme coins, influencers, and pump-and-dump charts.

But smart money? They’re building, buying, and positioning for the next 30 years.

So Why are you Still Watching

You feel it.

That unease. That sense that the old system is crumbling, but the new one feels risky, confusing, even overwhelming.

That’s normal. But it’s not an excuse.

The market is currently in a healthy correction. This may be the last clean window before the next leg up.

Don't waste it.

This isn't just about making money. It's about protecting your family, your values, your sovereignty, and your future.

Here's What To Do

• Study. Learn what Bitcoin, Ethereum, and DeFi really are.

• Position. Don’t go all-in, but don’t stay all-out either.

• Understand. The system is changing. Build your edge now — not when it’s already mainstream.

Final Thought

This Isn’t Just a Market Shift — It’s a Monetary Revolution

The people who understand this early will build the future — the rest will wake up too late, stuck in a system that no longer serves them.

Don’t just sit and watch history unfold.

Start learning, start preparing, start positioning.
