Missing this years Sankofa Conference Nana Agyei's impact and influence Changing the way we fund our organizations/communities Integrating Afrikan Spirituality into NationBuilding Cryptocurrency/digital assets Crytocurrency Information In analyzing all markets, there is F.A and T.A. Fundamental Analysis and Technical Analysis. FA is the wider world effects on said asset; rumors, scandals, government rulings, etc. TA is looking at charts, finding support, resistance and trend lines and looking at its history to hopefully predict future movement to see where to enter or exit said market. The YouTubers who Baba Kamau likes or loves, who are listed below, are FA guys. These folks read large amounts of the crypto news and report on it & share their take on it. They also come up often when folks google top crypto youtubers. THE MODERN INVESTOR I really, really like him for his no nonsense, straight-shooting approach to the space...and he is kind of funny as well DATADASH While both have been in the traditional markets before coming over to the crypto-space, DATADASH was really, really into them first and now on his shows he adds in stock, equity, bond market info in and ties it to the crypto-space. I used to skip over those parts, but they are starting to grab me more as his style really gives a clear economic picture of what is going on in the world today, globally. THINKING CRYPTO and ALTCOIN DAILY These two channels Kamau likes, and watches often but not religiously like the above two. Datadash is the only one of these channels that throws in TA into his analysis. If you'd like to learn more about technical analysis (TA), Kamau is willing to share YouTubers who specialize in this as well. Also check out THE BITCOIN WHITEPAPER. This is the document that started this entire crypto financial revolution. While he cannot recommend a book on crypto's that I read that hit me, he does recommend this seminal work by a pivotal author & speaker. Watch some of his YouTube programs also for a straight forward analysis of not only crypto but the global economy as well. If you have any questions please contact baba Kamau (see below).
