I know this goes without saying, but entrusting this man with your life savings is a dangerous course of action. I strongly urge you to consider diversifying into precious metals, productive farmland, or even a digital currency like Bitcoin.

Took them long enough.. I sent them this email titled "An option for escaping the current fiat financial system" in Nov 2012:

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:

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

Never heard back from him though but I'd like to think I nudged him in the right direction
