EP36: Buy, Borrow and Die: Bitcoin Style 45:26

4+ y ago45:26

45:26

I am in a financial position that may seem somewhat unusual to you. You see, the IRS rewards me for my real estate investments by taxing me less. If, on the other hand, I keep my income in the bank, or invest it in traditional equities or bonds, the IRS shows me no mercy! Admittedly this is by design. I am a real estate professional. One of the gre…

EP35: Cryptocurrency and Asymmetric Risk with Teeka Tiwari 52:34

4+ y ago52:34

52:34

Up to 10 percent of my liquid assets are in very risky stuff—specifically digital assets and startups. A lot of people people think I am being irresponsible—particularly because I have a captive audience with whom I have influence. Now if I was shooting at the hip and telling you to put all your money in this stuff, I would understand. But even hig…

EP34: Bull Markets in the Least Ugly Economy in the World! 1:11:01

1:11:01

I am a lousy trader. I’ve said it before and I fully recognize this fact. That’s why, I try very hard to stay focussed on investing rather than trading. Nevertheless, I still get trapped in behaviors that I invariably regret. For example, you may know that I am a believer in bitcoin. I truly believe this will be one of the best investments of my li…

This past week or two got a lot of people excited. Bitcoin broke through $5K and seemed to be headed to $6K. The usual bulls were out stomping on the grave of the crypto bears. But then the New York Attorney General filed a complaint against Bitfinex, one of the largest crypto trading platforms. It had to do with a stable coin called Tether and how…

It’s funny how long lasting paradigms perpetuate without question for centuries without being questioned. It used to be in most places, specific religions were mandated by the government to its people and heretics were persecuted. Of course that still exists in many parts of the world but the point is that a large part of the world does not see tha…

As the story goes, in 1906, the great statistician Francis Galton observed a competition to guess the weight of an ox at a country fair. Over 800 people entered that contest. Galton, being a numbers guy was curious about how the crowd faired with its guesses. What he discovered was that the average guess, 1,197lb, was extremely close to the actual …

Let’s talk about some things happening in the crypto space right now. Nasdaq launched real-time information on two new indices linked to the crypto asset market —Bitcoin liquid index (BLX) and Ethereum Liquid Index (ELX) were both incorporated into the Nasdaq platform on February 25th. This is sort of like the Nasdaq composite with the end goal to …

Ep29: Power Ledger: Peer to Peer Energy 41:14

5y ago41:14

41:14

We’ve had a lot of high profile folks on the show lately that represent the “bitcoin maximalist” crowd. In other words, they believe that bitcoin is the only worthwhile blockchain and that every other project/token out there is a “shitcoin”. There is all sorts of terminology for this—the bitcoiner, the multicoiner, the nocoiner, and then there is t…

I’ve been off the air for a while with Consensus Network through the holidays. The good or the bad news is that there isn’t a lot of movement in bitcoin prices. Infrastructure continues to grow and projects continue to develop throughout crypto winter. Even though prices aren’t moving dramatically, the technology and laws around it are. My guest to…

We are in a bear market with cryptocurrency. There is no doubt about that. How long will it last? I have no idea.However, one day a bull market shall return just as the dotcom’s did after the bubble burst in the late 90s. Then we will see the blockchain versions of Amazon and Apple skyrocket in value. In the meantime, it is winter.Now is the time w…

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but people are overusing the word blockchain. In fact, a recent article I read exposed twelve publicly traded companies that reaped huge valuation rewards simply by adding the word “bitcoin” or “blockchain” to their name. Now listen, this technology that is coming through is special. I have no doubt about it. But eve…

If you follow the crypto world like I do, it seems almost a little bit ridiculous sometimes with all of these personalities threatening each other and massively volatile digital asset prices. My friend Teeka Tiwari calls these conflicts the “nerd wars” and thinks we should ignore the noise. I tend to agree in the larger scheme of things. However, I…

One of the favorite words in crypto-Twitter these days is “Institutional”. What does that even mean? What is the big deal about these institutional investors coming in and why in the world do we care? There has been big money in the crypto markets for a while in the form of hedge funds, family offices, and wealthy individuals—all of which tend to h…

There is blood in the streets of blockchain and I won’t be surprised if there is more. I suspect that it will get worse before it gets better. This whole thing started out with a consolidation and an uncharacteristically low volatility in crypto. The question was whether it was going to break up or break down. For those of us looking solely at the …

Ep18: Institutional Interest in Cryptocurrency with Michael Moro 52:54

It used to be that bitcoin was just for quirky libertarian computer scientists but somehow the virus has spread gradually into big money. How something that was never advertised goes from nothing to over $100 billion market cap in 10 years and ushers in an entirely new digital currency asset class is mind-boggling to me. So, it is particularly inte…

As bitcoin, blockchain and other distributed ledger technologies become more mature, you will see a lot of the same financial models as you do for traditional assets like real estate and stocks—models that have been around for a long time. For example, the earliest recognized futures trading exchange was the Dojima Rice Exchange established in 1710…

Tyler Jenks has been around for a long time. In fact, he started trading the year my wife was born. You don’t see a lot of guys who are Tyler’s age in the cryptocurrency world. What that means is that we often lack the historical perspective of a new asset and the way markets mature. In fact, for Tyler, it doesn’t matter whether he’s looking at a s…

There is more to blockchain than bitcoin. And there is more to distributed ledgers than blockchain. Blockchain describes only one type of decentralized consensus mechanism. Although it is really the dominant system in this new distributed world, it’s not the only one. I’m no computer scientist by any means and I suspect you aren’t either. But I wil…
