Hi, I'm Jeferson Cimonetti, the independent researcher behind Periplus.

I was born in Colombia, grew up in Italy and now live in the Netherlands, where I work as an industrial automation technician: PLCs, robots and the machines that run modern logistics.

For the past seven years I have studied the forces that shape markets. My main focus is crypto assets and blockchain networks, gold, silver and mining, and new technologies, as well as monetary and payment systems, energy and geopolitics. Along the way I collected thousands of documents from governments, central banks, think tanks, investment funds and industry reports.

I love building things. I designed my own algorithmic trading bot in Python, with a risk engine based on VaR, the Sharpe ratio, the Kelly criterion and Monte Carlo simulations. I'm currently developing Imhotep, a 3D visual dictionary of the world's diseases for the general public and medical students. I also create images and videos with AI.

Periplus is where I turn my research into clear, data-driven dossiers. Each one maps a sector from its history to what may come next, lists how many sources it draws on, and stays neutral: no hype and no buy or sell calls, just the facts you need to form your own view.

Every dossier is available in English, Spanish and Italian. Follow the store to be notified when a new dossier is released.

Written early, dated in public

On 5 October 2023 I wrote on Instagram that the keys to the coming months and years were debt, gold and blockchain. That day U.S. federal debt stood at $33.5 trillion and gold futures settled near $1,830 an ounce on COMEX. On 26 October 2026 U.S. federal debt reached $40.5 trillion (U.S. Treasury), and in September 2026 the World Bank's monthly average gold price was $4,319. Global debt across all sectors went from $313 trillion at the end of 2023 to more than $365 trillion in the first half of 2026 (IIF).

On 30 December 2025 my keys for 2026 included gold and silver, the regulation and implementation of blockchain, and the tokenization of real-world assets. In October 2026 DTCC, the backbone of U.S. securities settlement, switched on its Tokenization Service.

Every document is a point on the chart; together they set the course. This is how I work: I read institutional sources and leave a date. Every Periplus dossier is built the same way.

Not financial advice.

Scritto prima, con la data

Il 5 ottobre 2023 ho scritto su Instagram che le chiavi dei mesi e degli anni successivi erano debito, oro e blockchain. Quel giorno il debito federale USA era di 33.500 miliardi di $ e i futures sull'oro hanno chiuso intorno a 1.830 $ l'oncia al COMEX. Il 26 ottobre 2026 il debito federale USA ha raggiunto 40.500 miliardi di $ (Tesoro USA) e a settembre 2026 la media mensile del prezzo dell'oro della Banca Mondiale era di 4.319 $. Il debito mondiale di tutti i settori è passato da 313.000 miliardi di $ a fine 2023 a oltre 365.000 miliardi nel primo semestre 2026 (IIF).

Il 30 dicembre 2025, tra le mie chiavi per il 2026 c'erano oro e argento, la regolamentazione e l'implementazione della blockchain e la tokenizzazione degli asset reali. A ottobre 2026 la DTCC, l'infrastruttura che gestisce il regolamento dei titoli USA, ha attivato il suo servizio di tokenizzazione.

Ogni documento è un punto sulla carta: insieme tracciano la rotta. Lavoro così: leggo le fonti istituzionali e lascio una data. Ogni dossier Periplus nasce allo stesso modo.

Non è consulenza finanziaria.

Escrito antes, con fecha

El 5 de octubre de 2023 escribí en Instagram que las claves de los meses y años siguientes eran la deuda, el oro y la blockchain. Ese día la deuda federal de EE. UU. era de 33,5 billones de $ y los futuros del oro cerraron cerca de 1.830 $ la onza en el COMEX. El 26 de octubre de 2026 la deuda federal de EE. UU. alcanzó 40,5 billones de $ (Tesoro de EE. UU.) y en septiembre de 2026 el promedio mensual del precio del oro del Banco Mundial fue de 4.319 $. La deuda mundial de todos los sectores pasó de 313 billones de $ a finales de 2023 a más de 365 billones en el primer semestre de 2026 (IIF).

El 30 de diciembre de 2025, entre mis claves para 2026 estaban el oro y la plata, la regulación y la implementación de la blockchain y la tokenización de activos reales. En octubre de 2026 la DTCC, la infraestructura que liquida los valores de EE. UU., activó su servicio de tokenización.

Cada documento es un punto en la carta; juntos trazan el rumbo. Así trabajo: leo las fuentes institucionales y dejo una fecha. Cada dossier Periplus nace del mismo modo.
