Jeff Park thinks the most popular investing strategy of the last decades — the 60/40 portfolio — is dead.
Jeff has spent his early career inside the traditional system. But now, after two years in finance, he’s calling for a full rethink of the modern portfolio: from what counts as “safe” to how inflation actually works to why Bitcoin may be the real anchor asset in a world that’s spinning off its axis.
In this episode, the first in a two-part series, he and Laura dig into:
-
Why the 60/40 portfolio is quietly failing
-
What the rise of “resistance” assets says about trust in institutions
-
Why STRK and BTC are the distillation of Jeff’s radical portfolio
-
How traditional finance may be more correlated to crypto than you think
-
Why “time is liquid energy” and bitcoin is so valuable
