For years, the No. 1 rule of money was simple — don’t talk about it.
But that rule is dead.
Now even the rich are saying the quiet part out loud: America’s financial system is broken.
The dollar keeps losing value. A small group of people keep changing the rules. And even the wealthy are searching for something better.
More and more, they’re gravitating toward Bitcoin. Not as a high-risk bet, but as a better form of money.

You should too.
