• Santiago Roel Santos: Blockchain Is the Next Internet-Scale Shift for Every Single Business

  💡Wondering how long-term tech shifts like blockchain fit into your portfolio? Get a free portfolio review with Wealthion’s endorsed financial advisors: https://bit.ly/4q3K4w1 Blockchain technology is no longer just hype. Corporations are now adopting this technology, and Santiago Roel Santos, founder & CEO of Inversion, argues that every business will use blockchain technology over the next 25 years, in much the same way every business eventually adopted the internet. In this interview with CoinFund’s Chris Perkins, Santiago breaks down blockchain’s real impact: reducing friction in financial systems, lowering costs, improving transparency, and reshaping how businesses move money. From payments and stablecoins to private equity, infrastructure, and capital markets, this technology is gradually becoming the internet's settlement layer. This secular trend now set in motion is bigger than simply “crypto winning.”It’s about financial infrastructure evolving and why businesses that ignore it risk being left behind. 💡As financial infrastructure evolves, portfolio resilience becomes critical.

• Michael Green: How Speculative Behavior Is Shaping a Generation and Warping Market Reality

  💡If markets feel more like a casino these days… you’re not imagining it. Protect your financial future with a free portfolio review from Wealthion’s endorsed advisors: https://bit.ly/48PUrNe In part 2 of our interview with Michael Green, portfolio manager and chief strategist at Simplify Asset Management, he explains why the stock market has become disconnected from fundamentals and why that shift is pushing an entire generation toward speculation. Passive investing, momentum flows, and distorted market structure have created an environment where prices no longer reflect business value. Instead, the system increasingly behaves like a closed loop of capital flows, rewarding size rather than fundamentals. This dislocation, Green argues, has produced a “nihilistic” response among younger investors who no longer see a credible path to long-term wealth through traditional saving and investing. When the system feels stacked against you, asymmetric bets — crypto, meme stocks, options — can seem rational. He also breaks down: * Why passive investing reshaped market mechanics * How fundamentals became irrelevant in a market ruled by flows * Why younger generations adopt “lottery ticket” strategies * The structural reasons speculation may keep rising * The risks of a market that no longer reallocates capital efficiently This is part 2 of our interview with Michael Green.

• Michael Green: Where the Real Poverty Line Is | Why Lower Inflation Isn’t Fixing the Cost of Living

  💡Concerned today’s economy is leaving households behind? Get a free portfolio review with Wealthion’s endorsed financial advisors: https://bit.ly/4aK8GW9 Michael Green’s Substack article “My Life Is a Lie” has gone viral for challenging how the federal government defines the poverty line and why that definition no longer reflects reality in 2025. In this conversation, Michael Green, portfolio manager and chief strategist at Simplify Asset Management, explains why the official poverty line is decades out of date, how benefit cliffs and rising price levels trap households above the poverty threshold, and why families making up to $140,000 can still feel like they’re in a financially precarious position. He breaks down: * Why lower inflation doesn’t mean lower living costs * How CPI and poverty line calculations miss real household cash flow * Why growth in AI and data centers isn’t reaching most people * And why millions feel “already underwater” despite positive economic data If you’ve seen debates about the modern poverty line, the $140K poverty threshold, or Michael Green’s viral Substack, this interview provides the full economic context behind the headlines.

• Jonathan Wellum: As Debt Grows, Precious Metals Will Keep Gaining Ground

  💡 Wondering if your portfolio is positioned for a world of rising debt and currency stress? Get a free portfolio review with Jonathan Wellum and the team at Rocklinc: https://bit.ly/48HGHE3 In this conversation, Rocklinc Investment Partners CEO Jonathan Wellum delivers a stark warning on the global macro backdrop: debt levels that are no longer mathematically sustainable. With some economies approaching 300–400% debt-to-GDP, Wellum explains why this strain ultimately shows up in currency pressure, weaker growth, and rising demand for gold and silver as monetary insurance. Jonathan breaks down: * How excessive deficits undermine fiat currencies over time * Why gold and silver benefit when confidence in money erodes * Why volatility doesn’t invalidate the long-term precious metals thesis * How disciplined investors should think about allocation in fragile macro environments This is not about short-term predictions — it’s about understanding the structural forces driving markets beneath the headlines. 💡Get To Know Jonathan Wellum: https://youtu.be/ezMiX0FtZ7g 💡 Think the opportunity in precious metals is still early?
