It has often been claimed that libertarians are the group that “flocks to crypto and bitcoin”.  In the beginning I’d say that was true, but it has not really been the case in recent history.  It may same that way, but it is more that crypto seems to move people toward libertarianism. We are now at a point where more than 20% of Americans own some crypto.  If it was only libertarians who did so, I think the government would look different, don’t you?  On top of that more than 44% of Americans who own crypto are millennials, defined as … Continue reading →

I’ll tell you though in many ways it is people who have a degree in economics that know the least about money and what it really is.  I know that sounds crazy but the best way to get someone to believe something that isn’t true is to teach it to them in an institution.   Bluntly money isn’t … Continue reading →

I am gonna say it isn’t really a true buyer’s market right now, not based on the prices I see.  It is much more so than it was 18 months ago but super great deals are not everywhere, YET. Yet?  Yes yet!  They are coming and I am going to discuss why the market is always good for smart buyers all the time anyway.  That said, trust me, the recovery no matter how good it is, if it is the best one we can hope for will take time.  During that time people will need to sell, not want to, … Continue reading →
