When I met him a few months ago, Whole Foods founder John Mackey taught me:
It’s important to give thanks to people who have helped you, publicly.
For the past seven years, RiskHedge subscribers like you have trusted me and my team to help you grow and protect your wealth.
You’ve allowed us to build a research business around a simple mission:
Find the big disruptive trends early… invest smartly… and help regular people profit from them.
For that, thank you. Sincerely.
- This is my final letter to you as a resident of Ireland.
If you’ve been a RiskHedge reader for long, you’ve seen my plans to move to Abu Dhabi take shape. I’ve been there several times, most recently to secure our apartment lease.
Finally, tonight, my family boards the plane with me.
Eight suitcases, 400 lbs. of belongings, and five one-way tickets.

Tomorrow, we’ll wake up in a city 3,681 miles away, looking out over the warm waters of the Arabian Gulf.
If it were just me, I’d be perfectly happy sleeping on a mattress in a tiny apartment with nothing but a laptop. But it’s not just me; we’re making this move to give our kids opportunities I never had growing up.
I’m confident it’s the right choice, but it’s not easy. I’m 80% excited, 19% nervous, and 1% thinking… are we really doing this?
But I am 100% grateful to you and all our RiskHedge subscribers. This would not be possible without you. I mean that literally. A business like ours—subscription financial research—only succeeds if you keep coming back.
I’m glad we’ve helped you make money, but that’s only part of it. We have a bond that keeps strengthening. So many of you wrote me with wisdom and personal experiences of moving your families across the world. Thanks!
And it’s only going to get better. One thing I’ve undersold about Abu Dhabi is the easy access it’ll give me to the big money-movers in crypto.
Instead of having to get on a plane to meet crypto fund managers, I can walk down the street, literally. Solana’s (SOL) big conference in December will take place five minutes from our new home.
Crypto is woven into the fabric of society in the UAE. As we discussed, Dubai is tokenizing buildings.
Imagine owning a piece of Dubai’s glittering skyline. Not a whole skyscraper, but a single, digital brick of it. That’s now possible thanks to Dubai’s new tokenization initiative.
I guess that’s why some people call it the crypto capital of the world.
- As I write, bitcoin (BTC) is $121,000—up from $27,000 when I first started “pounding the table” on crypto near the start of this cycle.
Ethereum (ETH) is $4,250.
I’m no chartist, but now that it’s finally cleared $4,000, I could see it surging to $10,000 in a hurry and sling-shotting many smaller cryptos to much bigger percentage gains along the way.
Regulation is finally clearing up...
Wall Street is marching in...
And the next wave of innovation is being unleashed.
Yet most people still see crypto as some niche playground for speculators. (I read an article last week in The Financial Times about how it’s “still for drug dealers.”)
Meanwhile, the smartest money in the world is positioning itself in crypto.
That’s our opportunity. It’s the perfect setup.
We have the chance to invest in quality crypto projects before the institutional money floods in. Our RiskHedge Venture advisory focuses on the smaller, lesser-known projects with great fundamentals.
A few of our recommendations trade for under $1.00, and I’m excited to see how they respond when Ethereum really gets going.
This is a historic moment in the crypto market.
- Don’t let this opportunity slip by.
Later today, I’ll be sending my RiskHedge Venture members a special update with my three “Best Buys.”
If you’re ready to join and take advantage of the next leg up in crypto, I’d love to have you.
Just know the special sale we’re running ends tomorrow. And we don’t offer sales often.
Thank you again for being a RiskHedge member.
My next letter to you will come from Abu Dhabi!
