Founder of Adamant Capital, a Bitcoin Alpha fund.
I have an 'out of the box' approach, combining academic rigor, a focus on historical patterns, productive investment paranoia, and a knack for exploring new territories and opportunities.
I've been publicly commenting on macro economic trends since 2008, my investment newsletter MacroTrends was launched in 2011 and ran until November 2013, when I passed it to a successor. I recommended Bitcoin as an investment to my readers at $5 in 2012 and am an early Kraken investor. I've been a regular speaker at Bitcoin conferences and consult for various startups and funds.
In 2006, I co-founded the Belgian Rothbard Institute, an academic, research-oriented think tank.
I was also co-founder of and staff member at the independent Sudbury school 'De Kampanje, School voor Persoonlijk Ondernemerschap'.
In 2011, my paper "The Business Cycle: A Definition" was published in the Spanish academic paper 'Procesos de Mercado' (see attachment below). I worked on this paper for many months, and I stand by it as my proof and illustration that the science of economics is meaningless without a fundamental connection to morality and natural law.
As a freelance translator, I translated the following two books:
- Murray Rothbard, 'Wat Heeft de Overheid met Ons Geld Gedaan?' (2006, Murray Rothbard Instituut)
- Jesus Huerta de Soto, 'Geld, Krediet, en Crisis' (2011, Acco)
