I have been huge on the technology of NFTs since I first learned about them.  On the other hand I have also been on record saying most of what is being done with them is beyond stupid.  People buying the rights to a jpeg and other such nonsense often for 10s or even 100s of thousands of dollars. Recently I happened on this announcement from Algorand and LiquidVineyards.  Now this is the type of thing I have been talking about. The basic concept is perhaps you want to invest in XYZ vineyard and buy the rights to say 3 vines … Continue reading →

Time marches on, the world changes and if you are thinking person therefore so do your opinions and recommendations.  If there is any place this applies when it comes to what I discuss and teach on the podcast it is cryto currency.  When I first purchased and started taking crypto it was Bitcoin only and the year was 2014.  Bitcoin was trading for about 300-500 dollars at the time. Since then I have watched alt coin and tokens rise and the industry grow to a 2 plus trillion dollar industry.  There are now public companies with Bitcoin on their balance … Continue reading →

The Survival Podcast Posted on by

If for any reason the Odysee video above does not play well for you, the back up YouTube version is here. I want to say something right out of the gate, lots of things are terrible forms or money but still good assets to hold and invest in.  This is exactly how I view gold and silver, exceptional inflation bucking assets, but 100% terrible, outdated forms of money. I come to this conclusion by having done something most people on either side of the debate between precious metals and crypto have not.  That is I have done significant business in … Continue reading →

Will Bitcoin Become A Global Reserve Currency – Miyagi Mornings Epi-114

The Survival Podcast Posted on by

If for any reason the above Odysee Video doesn’t play smoothly for you, the back up YouTube version is here. In truth I doubt that any nation will 100% make Bitcoin their reserve currency. The reason may shock you but once you hear it and think about it for about 10 seconds, it should make sense. In two words, “alt coins”. Wait does that mean some nation will make say Litecoin or god forbid Dogecoin their reserve? In a word no. I have talked about the unnecessary number of alt coins before and what reason do I always give for … Continue reading →
