Welcome back to The Parallel Entrepreneur for part 2 with British-American polymath Matthew Joynes.

In this fast-paced sequel we dive into:

• How Matthew rescued a bankrupt currency-trading firm and scaled it to $1 B+ in volume.
• Why he calls Bitcoin “a collectible—like Beanie Babies” and predicts its slide back to reality.
• Dollar dominance, tariffs as modern-day tribute, and the hidden mechanics of fiat liquidity.
• AI-driven disruption—from accountants to animation studios—and the rise of “one-person unicorns.”
• Freedom as America’s true currency, and how Gen-Z parallel entrepreneurs can seize the moment.

Stick around to the end for Matthew’s no-BS advice on patents, cap tables, and turning unused assets into new revenue with AI.
