Ted Gioia is a terrific author and music history & culture expert. He does a great job combining his background in business with his passion for music.
His book "Delta Blues" got me started on his writing and I've followed him for over 10 years now.

He is excellent at uncovering the cultural stories embedded within music history.
I loved "Delta Blues: The Life and Times of the Mississippi Masters Who Revolutionized American Music" and I'm working on "Music: A Subversive History"

Most people on earth don't have the ability to just invest in traditional commodity markets as a hedge.
Most people on earth DO have a mobile device, which grants them permissionless and censorship resistant access to the bitcoin network. This access allows for an escape hatch against abusive regimes who debase their country's fiat currency.
