Why a Low Price Doesn't Mean It's a Better Investment

By Matthew Hayward Introduction When investing in cryptocurrency, many newcomers assume a lower price tag means a better opportunity. It’s tempting to think a coin like Dogecoin, priced under a dollar, has more growth potential than Bitcoin, which costs tens of thousands per coin. However, this common assumption can lead to costly mistakes. Let’s uncover why price isn’t the whole story. The Price of a Share Doesn’t Equal Value Think of stock prices like slices of pizza. A $300 share is just one slice from a company, while a $150 share is another slice from a different company. The price of the slice tells you nothing about the size of the pizza (the company’s value). A smaller pizza might have expensive slices, and a giant pizza might have cheap slices. Why Two Shares of $300 Can Beat Six Shares of $150 Owning more slices of a weaker pizza doesn’t mean you’re getting more food. If the $300 company is growing faster, making better profits, and has strong prospects, its slices are worth ...

When the Census Goes Beyond the Constitution

 By Matthew Hayward The Census: From Counting People to Collecting Control The Constitution established the census as a straightforward tool for representation—nothing more, nothing less. Article I, Section 2 mandates an enumeration every ten years to determine how many representatives each state is allotted. That’s it. Simple. Effective. Proportional representation was the goal, and the census was designed to achieve it. So how did we end up here—with government agents asking about the number of bathrooms in our homes, our ethnic identities, and everything in between? This is the creeping hand of central planning at work. What began as a tool to empower individual representation has been twisted into a mechanism to empower bureaucrats, planners, and those who believe they know better than free individuals how to run their own lives. Central Planning: The False Promise of Data The justification for prying into the most intimate details of our lives is always the same: “We need the ...

Could Today Be the Cheapest Price for Bitcoin Ever Again? Here’s Why

By: Matthew Hayward Current price  Nov 10, 2024 76.72K 80.43K Is Now the Time to Buy Bitcoin? Bitcoin has come a long way since its early days as a niche digital asset. Today, as we enter another phase in its established four-year cycle , Bitcoin may be at a historic high, but it could soon become the new baseline price. This cycle, which has repeatedly shown Bitcoin’s resilience and long-term growth potential, suggests that the current price might be the lowest we’ll see again. While recent political shifts, including Donald Trump’s landslide election victory, have added new momentum and support for Bitcoin, the timing within the cycle itself makes this an ideal moment to consider buying. A Political Shift: From Anti-Crypto to Pro-Crypto For years, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have faced an uphill battle against a U.S. government determined to restrict and control their growth. This opposition was largely led by Gary Gensler, who waged an outright war against crypto from hi...

Rebuilding the Washington GOP with Real Results

By Matthew Hayward For the GOP to secure meaningful wins in Washington, it’s time to abandon unwinnable, resource-draining races and focus intensely on swing and local races . We need a disciplined, laser-focused strategy that builds a solid portfolio of victories, proving our capacity to make a difference on the ground. Each local or swing win will solidify our standing, making future fundraising easier as we demonstrate real success and the potential for broader influence. This success must be supported by practical infrastructure. The state party should provide centralized resources, such as a designated printer and sign provider, ensuring no conservative candidate has to waste time or resources on the basics. Every candidate deserves streamlined access to essential campaign tools, removing logistical barriers so they can focus on connecting with voters. Additionally, the party needs to offer strong, professional campaign training—either in-house or through partnerships with top org...
