I just updated my About page on Substack. As a registered advisor I'm (frustratingly) limited in what I can say publicly, but I can still share observations, frameworks, and general macro thinking. It feels good to contribute to the public conversation again... especially during these increasingly interesting times. 👀 Onward and upward.

Congrats on getting this done, Lyn!! 🔥 npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l DrJeff Thanks bro. I’ve been taking a much-needed break from podcast interviews and social media. npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l DrJeff Plebs + proof of real work for the win. npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l DrJeff Because I like you, here's a free glimpse of an amazing chart that I'm regularly watching... 👀 Three data lines are overlapping: 1. ISM Manufacturing PMI (multi-color line) 2. Global M2 (blue line) 3. Bitcoin price (red/green candles) I still believe that the unimpressive bitcoin price performance in 2025 resulted primarily from the lack of a positive US manufacturing cycle since 2021. Everything became distorted during the 2021 Covid-related, fiscal/monetary easing debacle, but cycles have a way of re-establishing themselves. ISM Manufacturing PMI is finally starting to recover. It will be interesting to see if the price of bitcoin responds in kind, as it (seemingly) has in the past. Not a prediction, just some observations. Cheers. 🍻 https://blossom.primal.net/d428fc79e6967527a568e95657b84c5c38726912aed4a3a357c35314116d2d96.png npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l DrJeff Even after a suboptimal 2025, we are still here. 👀 Onward and upward.

Much more to come, I'm guessing, in the Western Hemisphere before 2029. npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l DrJeff To be clear, I mean to say: *It could get* as high as: $700,000 AND *It could get* as low as: $50,000 -------- I am NOT predicting that it will visit either of these levels... but that either/both are on the periphery of my probable price range for 2026. #nevent1q…c734 npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l DrJeff I think that, at the moment, liquidity is tight and it is being channeled toward specific sectors of the economy. If the scope broadens to include Bitcoin in the coming quarters and/or liquidity in general greatly expands, then this should be reflected in the price of bitcoin. -- I think tariffs are a red herring, with minimal true economic impact on most sectors. npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l DrJeff My 2026 bitcoin price guesses (in USD terms): Average price: $145,000 As high as: $700,000 As low as: $50,000 (Just my guesses. Never individual advice.) npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l DrJeff For investors: “Don’t fight the fiscal stimulus” is the new “Don’t fight the Fed.” npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l DrJeff We are all geopolitical analysts now. npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l DrJeff Merry Christmas! npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l DrJeff Thanks! Merry Christmas to you as well npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l DrJeff Bitcoin and AI are both competing for the same, limited electrons in the Western Hemisphere. In 2025, AI is winning the electron race. Bitcoin and AI are both competing for the dwindling purchasing power of fiat currencies in the Western Hemisphere. In 2025, AI is winning the purchasing power race. -------- 2026 promises to be interesting. 🍿 npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l DrJeff Status update: Bullish on accelerating Congressional borrowing and spending in 2026. 🐂🤡🌎 npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l DrJeff I’ve just been informed that some people still read the newspaper. Please confirm. npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l DrJeff More and more people are beginning to understand that Bitcoin is universal energy money. #nevent1q…7ja2 npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l DrJeff In light of these guesses… Gold, silver, other desirable commodities, and bitcoin will likely provide the best means of purchasing power preservation and accrual over the coming years. npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l DrJeff Some guesses for 2026: 1. The Federal Reserve will lower the fed funds rate below 3.5%... 2. Which will spur economic growth and inflation... 3. Which will cause the long end of the Treasury yield curve to rise towards and above 5%... 4. Which will be unacceptable to Wall Street and the current administration... 5. Which will induce the Fed to begin yield curve control... 6. Which will cause material weakness in the US dollar... 7. Which will lead to further currency debasement... 8. Which will become fodder for large increases and volatility across risk assets. npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l DrJeff Don't miss the significance of the secular shift that began (again) in January 2022. TL;DR The world has shifted away from US-centric Proof of Stake Financialization and towards Global Proof of Work Industrialization. Ignore this shift (and its investment/savings implications) at your own risk. https://blossom.primal.net/13aad5436c1d741a924bf225d565f07c410789ce4062ab4a103d43d9362ac0e9.png npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l DrJeff Originally posted in January 2025, I reposted it because many people who were excitedly using leverage during the bull market were starting to get liquidated during the current bear market. I hate to see it. npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l DrJeff Rather than peaking in 4Q 2025--as I had previously anticipated--important macro assets are actually showing signs of major cyclical bottoms at current levels. In my opinion, the anticipated bear market for certain assets and sectors has been pulled forward into 2025... and 2026 looks surprisingly bullish based on the relevant macro and technical data points that I closely follow. In light of this, I will be re-opening my small (award winning) friends and family macro-oriented, Bitcoin-friendly, multi-strategy hedge fund to appropriate HNWIs who share a long-term investment time horizon with me. Per US regulators, Limited Partnerships in the hedge fund are only available to (verifiable) Accredited Investors and Qualified Clients. If you are seriously interested in joining me in the hedge fund--and you meet the above-mentioned criteria--feel free to send me a DM. Cheers. npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l DrJeff You may think that you own your dollars or other fiat assets, but the government actually owns your purchasing power. npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l DrJeff Applying logic to exponential growth over a long enough timeframe will make you look insane by the vast majority of people. npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l DrJeff “Bitcoin is [still] screaming for more liquidity.” The FOMC has a long and sordid history of not acting appropriately until it is forced to do so. 1. Too little, too late. 2. Too much, too late. 3. Repeat. It soon may be forced to act. #nevent1q…3qpk npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l DrJeff An epic take 😂 npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l DrJeff What I'm watching... 👀 Priced in gold, the last time MSTR was as oversold (in RSI terms) on the weekly charts as it is today was during the deep valley of the flash Covid recession in March of 2020 (see vertical green lines). At that harrowing time, MSTR reached as low as $9 per share. For a long-term investor, this may be a proverbial "blood in the streets" moment for MSTR shareholders. Not investment advice... but interesting to note. Thoughts? https://blossom.primal.net/9e37ba56a0a8945196a4108bf860d8d36719fba73168c452d93042ea30126c07.png npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l DrJeff Despite the end of the shutdown, the Liquidity Blob remains stuck in the government’s coffers. Bitcoin is screaming for more liquidity. The 2-year Treasury yield is screaming for a lower fed funds rate. But, sadly, the market screams are falling on deaf ears. It’s painful to watch. npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l DrJeff Once (if) the government shutdown ends, Fed Net Liquidity will become relevant and sexy again. Until then, the Liquidity Blob remains stuck in the Fed’s and Treasury’s back pockets. When (if) the shutdown ends, the Liquidity Blob will finally and mercifully begin shifting back to the people and the public markets. This shift should quickly be reflected in the fiat price of #bitcoin. GM. npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l DrJeff Yes. ⚡ npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l DrJeff A great read. Thanks for sharing, Brad! npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l DrJeff Aggressive central planning by the current administration. npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l DrJeff The two most important (and generally overlooked) factors in determining (guessing) bitcoin's fiat price action over the coming quarters are: 1. Chinese liquidity 2. American manufacturing I expect both to accelerate... materially. Just my guess. You do you. npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l DrJeff I don’t know about THE most important signal, but it is a very important (and under-watched) signal. npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l DrJeff I historically agree... as both a Christian and a staunch free market capitalist. But in the coming (presumed) Digital Age--which will be dominated by AI and robotics--humans may not be gainfully employed... and may not have the monetary means to provide material needs to their unemployed neighbor. Capitalism doesn't work well for humanity if humans are the weak link across all professions, white collar or blue collar. npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l DrJeff Good question. The economy will likely shift towards energy and compute. That is, the companies that require an increasing amount of energy/compute will need to purchase an increasing amount from the explorers, producers, builders, distributors, etc. of the energy/compute. Even though the marginal cost of production will trend towards zero, the exponential increase in need for such things will be the primary drivers of the Digital economy. npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l DrJeff Probably the same entities that determine clean water, electricity, physical infrastructure, etc.
