Writing on Substack: Bitcoin meetups in Central FL:

[Benjamin @BenjaminPyle]

In November 2024, I became a father for the first time.

It was the most powerful moment of my life— and also the moment I started worrying about the world my son would inherit.

Political polarization. Runaway government debt. Ecosystem stress. AI becoming our overlord…
It felt like the culture was fraying at the edges.

And even though I had reached financial independence through index funds, I found myself asking a hard question: “Will I be able to support my family in the future?”

The fear was real. I didn’t want my son growing up in a world that felt worse than the one I grew up in.

So I went searching for answers.

That’s when I came across the work of Lyn Alden—an investment analyst whose research led me straight into Bitcoin. I learned that the first crypto currency isn’t just a speculative asset. It’s sound money built on a decentralized protocol.

It’s finite. It’s neutral. And no government or institution can manipulate it.

In plain English: It’s better money. And it gives people hope.
And on top of that, it’s one of the best investment opportunities in history.

I got hooked. I “went down the Bitcoin rabbit hole” as they say.
I read, studied, and eventually reallocated my time, energy, and capital toward Bitcoin.

Today, I’m a Bitcoiner.

I’m building a local Bitcoin community in Central Florida. And I help people on the financial independence path understand how Bitcoin can fit into their long-term plan.

Bitcoin won’t fix everything. But it fixes a lot.

And it gave me something I didn’t expect:

It turned fear into hope.

@matteopelleg @SydSteyerhart I had collected a LOT of gold. You ever visited the Sistine?

[Benjamin @BenjaminPyle]

@edstromandrew Great point. I treat it like long term reserve. Not short term because of days like today.

From @natbrunell's interview with Giovanni

First question of the interview:

Natalie - "Giovanni, can you explain the power law in one sentence?"

Giovanni - "Okay, so it's actually a formula and if you remember from high school taking the power of something you need to do the X squared of the parabola formulaic mechanism of how cities grow. Then you remember from pre-school how fast you slid down the slide, but the first grader slid down faster?! But when it comes to Bitcoin it grows organically like a city, not fast like McDonalds. Power law is a relationship that can can be found everywhere in nature etc etc etc etc etc." It's very simple."

Last question of the interview:

Natalie - "Okay, can you explain the power law in one sentence?"

(Giovanni, remember that I'm not a physicist and most of my audience are not physicists. I want you to simplify this in one sentence using simple language the everyday person can understand. Bitcoin is for Everyone and everyone needs the Power Law in one simple sentence.)

Giovanni - "It's a non linear relationship between two quantities etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc."
