Matthew is an American with Latvian, Norwegian, and Irish roots, who’s made Eastern Europe his home since 2006. A firm believer in Bitcoin, peace through strength, and the enduring value of Atlanticist ideals, he's spent the past decade-plus carving a unique path in the world of sound money and geopolitics.

In 2017, he launched the Crypto Voices podcast, one of the earliest platforms dissecting the monetary revolution with intellectual rigor. On the same date six years later, he founded Porkopolis Economics, a data-driven project chronicling the evolution of base money across the globe. Since 2018, he’s been tracking the rise of Bitcoin against the world's fiat base money through the lens of the power law, a quiet but powerful signal of what's to come.
