Hi there 👋,
​

A long, long time ago (in crypto terms) one of the first major Bitcoin conferences was held in San Jose, CA.

It was filmed, but the footage went onto a server somewhere and the legend of the ‘lost Bitcoin tapes’ began.

Now this footage from 2013 forms part of a documentary series called CRYPTOLAND. According to Vice, it’s all about the "environmental, political, and cultural implications of the crypto gold rush."

The Changing World Order

​
Billionaire investor Ray Dalio recently published a book called ‘Principles for Dealing with the The Changing World Order.’

Dalio examines history’s most turbulent economic and political periods to reveal why the times ahead will likely be radically different from those we’ve experienced in our lifetimes—and to offer practical advice on how to navigate them well.

Learn all about the “Big Cycle” that has driven the successes and failures of all the world’s major countries.

Not enough time to read?
Dalio condensed everything in the book into this ~​45-minute video.
