The Hardest Era to Safely Invest for Retirement

Our current economic climate presents a strange set of challenges to anyone saving for retirement.

Central bankers print money on a whim, priming us for inflation in the short-term and quite possibly setting us up for a collapse in the long-term. At the same time, traditionally “safe” investments like U.S. government bonds, CDs, and savings accounts yield less than inflation – effectively confiscating buying power from conservative savers. In other nations, government bond yields are below zero, meaning savers actually pay the government to hold their money for them.

We’re living amidst the greatest experiment of monetary policy ever recorded, and the outcome is still largely unknown.

Financial institutions feel less like allies and more like adversaries, increasingly expensive and restrictive places to store your wealth. Banks are required to support “suspicious” behavior (like withdrawing “too much cash”) to law enforcement officials.

Meanwhile, governments keep a firm grip and watchful eye on your financial activity — constantly monitoring transactions and levying new regulations. Police who used to “protect and serve” are now actually authorized to seize “suspicious” assets, like the “too much cash” you took out of your bank without cause or due process. This is called “civil asset forfeiture,” and, shocking as it may sound, is perfectly legal.

We live in a time when financial security, freedom, and privacy are in scarce supply.

In response, a whole new asset class has been born: digital currencies.

Let’s take a look at how digital currencies like bitcoin work, why they’re positioned to solve the core problems with our existing monetary system, and the ways that you can use them for your long-term benefit…
