Stablecoins are big news, have you noticed?
Even if you have some doubts about crypto, this book will help you understand why stablecoins are having their spotlight moment.
The Crypto Skeptic’s Intro to Stablecoins is your clear, engaging introduction to understanding stablecoins as global financial tools. You will discover what stablecoins mean for people, business, government, and the future of money.
This clear, jargon-free book explains:
  • What are stablecoins, and their pros and cons.
  • What makes a stablecoin “stable”…or not.
  • Why governments and banks are suddenly paying attention.
  • How stablecoins could be a bi-partisan magic bullet (really?).
  • How stablecoins transform remittances, aid, and financial access.
  • How stablecoins might contribute to the US gaining or losing ground as the world’s reserve currency.
  • What's on the stablecoin horizon.
Written for curious skeptics, conscious capitalists, and leaders in business, policy, and communities, this intro is an engaging, quick read to help you understand the future of money, without the crypto sales pitch.

Welcome Home: How to build your town and downsize politics

Available on Amazon in paperback or Kindle
Picture
Tired of feeling powerless, frustrated, or divided by national politics? Here is an idea: let's focus on our towns.
Welcome Home is a clear, bipartisan guide to renewing our towns in practical ways that help local people make money and make a difference. 

Welcome Home is not a rallying cry to change political views. The book explores, in plain English, how new tech called "DePIN" supports smart, people-powered solutions and businesses. It's like economic development from the bottom up, instead of top down. 

From local utilities and broadband to education, healthcare, and more, 
Welcome Home walks you through new business models that help residents naturally work together to build resilient towns.

Most of us have limited influence in Washington, DC. We have limitless influence in our towns.
Let’s roll.
