In the 1980's, Japan was the ascendant global power. Year after year, Japan's GDP grew, and it seemed like a foregone conclusion that the country would flip the USA in terms of economic output and political standing (as you can see from the chart above). What happened next? Utter stagnation. Demographic issues and a popping asset bubble led to issues that...

Bitcoin. Love it or hate it, it's one of the most important assets of our age. Digital gold? A new monetary system? A defense against inflation? All of these and more? The debate rages on. For our two cents; it doesn't really matter. It's a highly volatile, highly liquid asset, which means that it is one of the best trading vehicles around. Long? Short? Doesn't...
