I’m a restorative dentist who got a hard wake-up call during the 2008 financial crisis. Since then, I’ve poured thousands of hours into understanding money, risk, and why costs keep rising in healthcare. I share the most useful, actionable resources I’ve found—especially for dentists, but helpful to anyone—so you can protect your financial health and your practice. That’s why I built The Bitcoin Dental Network. It’s free, practical, and no strings attached.
Resending: Financial Literacy is no longer optional
|
Hello Reader, With a new Fed Chair expected in 2026, most of the attention will be on who gets the job. But as Tom Bilyeu explains in this week’s video of the week, the more important question is whether the system has any real options left. This is one of the clearest explanations I’ve seen of financial repression, soft default through inflation, and why financial literacy matters now more than ever. I walked you through these principles last August, but this is a much more succinct and poignant delivery, definitely worth your time. I don’t share this video to be alarmist, and I don’t think every claim should be accepted uncritically. Some of the language is intentionally provocative, and a few details deserve nuance. But the larger lesson is important: inflation is not just rising prices; it is a transfer mechanism. It rewards those who understand the game and own scarce or productive assets, while quietly punishing those who hold only dollars and assume the system is protecting them. For dentists, practice owners, and anyone trying to preserve the fruits of decades of hard work, financial literacy is no longer optional. Whether your answer is Bitcoin, real estate, productive businesses, gold, personal skill-building, or some combination of all of the above, the first step is understanding the playbook. My hope is that this video helps you see that playbook more clearly, without panic, but also without complacency. I’d love to hear your feedback. Was this helpful? Did it resonate with what you’re seeing in your own life, practice, or financial planning? My goal with the Bitcoin Dental Network is to curate content that makes these complex topics easier to understand and more relevant to our lives as dentists. If you found this valuable, you can find more curated content at The Bitcoin Dental Network. All the best, Mark R. Link D.D.S. |

Hello Reader, All, In my last newsletter, I wrote about why Bitcoin bear markets are often where conviction is built. For those who purchased bitcoin at or near its recent highs, I know that idea may not feel especially comforting right now. Watching the dollar value of an investment decline is painful, and it is completely understandable to wonder whether the original decision was a mistake. I do not want to dismiss that concern or pretend that volatility is easy. But I do want to encourage...
Hello Reader, For those who attended my presentation in Tuscaloosa last August, I know the current bitcoin price action may feel discouraging. Watching bitcoin fall in dollar terms is never fun, especially if you are newer to the asset and still trying to understand whether you made the right decision. But here is the important context: this is not unusual for bitcoin. In fact, it is one of the most normal, recurring patterns in bitcoin’s history. Since bitcoin’s inception, every fourth year...
