“I think if someone is diversified and rather defensive, they can avoid some of the more severe scenarios,” Alden said in a recent interview with Stansberry Research, “while still participating in some of the markets that are actually pretty cheap and that have some growth.”
So how should investors position themselves in 2022?Īccording to rising star researcher Lyn Alden, founder of Lyn Alden Investment Strategy, playing defense is still the best approach. Even high-flying mega-cap growth stocks like Netflix and Meta Platforms are deep into correction territory. While the S&P 500 gained 27% in 2021, it’s down 9% year to date. The situation is equally challenging for investors. Simply put, if your salary didn’t increase by at least 7.5% over the past year, you essentially received a pay cut. rose 7.5% year over year in January - the highest reading since February 1982.

More importantly, Bitcoin provides new features seeking to protect the individual in the digital age. It seeks to be the best money ever invented, combining the benefits of gold, cash, and various contemporary stores of value. Bitcoin is much more than just a speculative digital asset. It is only through proper consideration of these questions that the unique and revolutionary properties of Bitcoin become apparent. So, what are the qualities and features of money? Why do we use different forms of money? What is money? We interact with various forms of money, and implicity utilise their attributes without proper examination. Yet, shares, property, or in fact, any tradable item are also forms of money. An open and free, censorship-resistant currency available to anyone with qualities that surpass previous forms of money is carving out its place as the future of money.Ĭoins and notes are examples of money we are all familiar with. A viable alternative to fiat currency has taken hold. Yet, the most extraordinary change is occurring without, arguably, the fanfare it deserves. The world around us is in flux: established norms are being upended. We are living through extraordinary times. We readily accept the money we have and use it without examining its history, characteristics, or whether it could be improved and changed. Yet, most people never query the essence of what is perhaps civilisation’s most important tool. What is money? We are taught to critically question and evaluate the world around us. In this interview, we discuss currency crises, the history of money, the properties of good money, and whether Bitcoin can usher in a new era of programmable, commodity money. Lyn Alden is a macroeconomist and investment strategist. And that could look past how the system currently is and envision: if you just start with a blank sheet of paper, how could it be? What are the alternative kind of timelines we could be under?”- Lyn Alden
“All of these monetary transitions involve people that could think of the unthinkable.
