Hey Simon,
I receive your newsletters on my other email account and I love
your travel stories and the things you are able to discover for how
individuals like myself can protect their wealth and freedom. I'm
also a fan of the open source software Bitcoin that I think is
something you will want to learn about if you haven't already.
It's a bit harder to understand because it's based on math and
computer science but I think for you you'll want to read the
following three things:
Introduction:

Article from a finance-privacy guru similar to yourself:
http://www.runtogold.com/2012/11/why-bitcoin-is-tangible-digging-into-the-guts-of-bitcoin/
ECB's report about it:
http://www.ecb.europa.eu/pub/pdf/other/virtualcurrencyschemes201210en.pdf
Let me know if you have any questions, maybe I as an enthusiast can
answer them or at least point you in the right direction.
Best regards,
a private Bitcoin user
