Inflation Expectations vs. Lived Inflation
6 min read
In the sterile world of central bank spreadsheets, inflation is often treated as a uniform percentage—a single “Core CPI” number that guides interest rates and defines national success. However, as we move through 2026, a massive cognitive and economic divide has emerged. This is the gap between Inflation Expectations (what…

Is Bitcoin a Safe-Haven Asset—or Just Narrative Arbitrage?
8 min read
The classification of Bitcoin has undergone a radical transformation since its inception in 2009. Originally envisioned by Satoshi Nakamoto as “peer-to-peer electronic cash,” a decentralized tool for commerce, the primary argument for Bitcoin today has shifted toward its status as “Digital Gold.” However, as we move through 2026, the global financial landscape presents a complex paradox.

Most people envision global trade as a straightforward exchange: a container ship leaves a port in Shanghai, docks in Los Angeles, and a digital transfer of money moves from the buyer to the seller.

How Government Bonds Work
1 min read
A government bond is essentially a “IOU” from a sovereign nation. When you buy a 10-year U.S. Treasury, you are lending the government money for ten years. In return, they pay you a fixed “coupon” (interest) and return your “principal” (the original loan) at the end.

This is the bond market’s way of screaming that a recession is coming. It means investors are so worried about the immediate future…

De-dollarization: Narratives vs. Reality
8 min read
For much of the past two decades, and with renewed vigor in 2026, headlines have periodically declared the imminent “death of the dollar.” The argument is familiar: rising U.S. government debt, the weaponization of the dollar through sanctions, and the emergence of rival power blocs…
