## Resource

What if the real problem isn’t home prices or interest rates—but the money itself? In this episode of Housing Matters, host Matt Pouliot sits down with Jeffrey Truchon, founder of Sovereign Wealth Management, to connect the dots between time, inflation, broken money, housing, and why he believes Bitcoin is the premier long-term store of value. Jeff shares his journey from Maine kid and Enterprise manager to independent fiduciary advisor, and how COVID, money-printing, and a 35% market crash pushed him deep down the Bitcoin rabbit hole. He walks through the end of the gold standard, how fiat currency quietly steals your time and energy, and why he thinks Bitcoin should be viewed as digital property alongside (not instead of) real estate. You’ll hear Jeff’s take on: Why time—not dollars—is your most valuable asset How inflation and debt are crushing younger generations Bitcoin mining, halvings, and the 21 million cap Bitcoin vs gold, bonds, and housing as a store of value How he builds portfolios that include Bitcoin while still focusing on risk Jeffrey Truchon is a Maine-born financial advisor, Husson University business graduate, and founder of Sovereign Wealth Management. He holds his Life & Health Insurance License and Series 65, and has been featured in Fortune, Entrepreneur, Bloomberg Businessweek, and on multiple radio and TV shows. He works with clients across Maine and nationwide to protect and grow their life savings. 👉 Learn more about Jeff at retiredsovereign.com or email info@retiredsovereign.com. *This episode is for educational purposes only and does not constitute financial, tax, or investment advice.
