# About the Crypto Flywheel

Who publishes it, who wrote it, where it came from, and what it is not.

## What the Crypto Flywheel is

The Crypto Flywheel is a rules-based digital asset allocation system designed to increase holdings and produce cashflow as markets rise and fall.

A Flywheel has three Layers. The Core holds the digital assets the portfolio exists to keep. The Engine holds positions that buy as price falls, sell as it rises, and earn. The Reserve holds capital that keeps its dollar value. A written Plan governs how the Layers work together and holds no capital.

## Where it came from

The Flywheel began in 2024 as a simple loop on a whiteboard and evolved over two years of running it with our private members. In October 2026 we published the entire model for free.

The Flywheel was built one part at a time, in public. Each stop is a part or a milestone, with the video or post where it first appeared.
