The LeoFinance Podcast

In this week's AMA, we covered a wide range of topics including AirBnB regulations vs. Crypto regulations and the normal LeoFinance x CubFinance AMA Questions. We've just released LeoInfra V3 and LeoMobile! PolyCUB is on the horizon!

On this episode of the podcast, we had Derek from StakeCube join the show to talk about their project. StakeCube started in June 2018 as a Proof of Stake Pool and fork of Dash/Bitcoin Core. Today, they have 20+ team members and are actively growing the offerings of StakeCube with the launch of V3 right around the corner.

On this episode of the LeoFinance podcast, I'm joined by Esteban de la Peña! He has worked in the space for several years now and has most recently been heavily involved with the emerging lightning payment rails for merchants accepting BTC. He has some incredibly interesting takes on BTC, the future of payments via Lightning, El Salvador, Merchant Treasuries looking to hold Bitcoin and much much more! I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did.

Binance Smart Chain and the BNB token are currently the #1 news story within the Crypto/DeFi space. Bitcoin is making new all-time highs, ETH is making new all-time highs and in the meantime, liquidity, volume and the price of BNB have exploded to an even greater degree. On this episode of the LEO Roundtable, we sit down with LeoFinance statistician by day and DeFi farmer by night @dalz to talk about the BInance Smart Chain. Dalz was one of the earliest adopters of Decentralized Finance protocols on the Binance Smart Chain and he's been crushing it on the various applications and pools that exist in that chain.

This bull run has had both a number of familiarities and a number of differences. In 2017, there was a massive boom in interest for the crypto space. The ICO craze marked one of the highlights of the bull run. This time, there is the DeFi craze. There are some key differences between the ICO craze and the DeFi craze. DeFi feels more legitimate. It feels like it's solving a real use case and not just raising funds for some crazy new token that will end up going to 0. 00:00:00 You Either Know About Bitcoin or You Get Left Behind 00:02:30 This Bull Run Feels Like the 2017 Rally - Analysis With Bitcoin Dominance 00:05:15 2017 ICO Craze Vs. 2020 DeFi Craze 00:07:30 RUNE Analysis - Why We're Bullish 00:14:00 Bitcoin, Selling Crypto into Stablecoins and Avoiding Taxes with Lending Contracts 00:26:10 Using Crypto Futures to Hedge Your Portfolio 00:34:00 Is DeFi the Future of Passive Income and "Cashing Out" of Crypto? 00:46:00 Taking Rolland's Bets to the Blockchain 01:02:20 The New Update for LeoFinance.io 01:10:00 Q&A on ProjectBlank - Airdrop Details 01:18:00 ProjectBlank Will Change the Way Hive Content Creation Works on a Fundamental Level

In this episode of the Daily LEO, we talk about Tesla's recent acquisition of $1.5B worth of BTC and their important announcement around accepting Bitcoin as a form of payment. Many people are wondering if it's too late to get into Bitcoin and if they already missed the boat.

We decided to meet for an emergency LeoFinance podcast this morning to talk about all of the things happening in crypto right now. Tesla just filed with the SEC announcing two key pieces of news: they've purchased $1.5 billion worth of Bitcoin for their balance sheet AND they will soon accept BTC as a form of payment. These two pieces of news have shot the price of Bitcoin from $38k to $46k today, reaching a new all-time high. In this podcast episode, we talk about the news in real-time, how it impacts us and where we see things headed. We also talked about a strategy we might deploy if BTC reaches a certain price target where we may look to take profits without completely selling our Bitcoin.

The LEO Roundtable is back and in this episode we talk about the Robinhood, Wall Street Bets and AMC trading frenzies. @nealmcspadden and I bought call debit spreads in AMC in anticipation of a successful short squeeze.

The most important news on social media right now is the fight against Wall Street. A community on Reddit started a massive battle of retail investors vs. Wall Street hedge funds. The crazy part is that the retailers are winning.. and in a big way. They are winning so big, in fact, that Robinhood and other exchanges decided to delist the stocks in question and major platforms are censoring retail investors and WallStreetBets community members on social media and financial markets. We live in unprecedented times. What's happening right now is anti free markets and a change must happen.

We met for a happy HODLdays episode of the roundtable. I hope you all are enjoying the holidays this week and with the New Year just days away, we decided to make some friendly bets on where the BTC price will end up by year end 2020. The holidays are generally much slower for most businesses. Trading and markets are definitely slower during these times and it is nice to get a bit of a break in the mix. On this roundtable, we also talk about some upcoming developments, stimulus checks and some DeFi info that I found extremely helpful. Show Notes: https://leofinance.io/@khaleelkazi/esyietdj

Today's Daily LEO features the latest Bitcoin news. Elon Musk teases the idea of buying BTC - wondering publicly if there's enough liquidity out there to meet Tesla's potential demand for BTC in their treasury. Michael Saylor's Microstrategy completes a 1.1 Billion dollar acquisition of BTC throughout 2020 and Ripple announces that the SEC may be filing a lawsuit against them.

Mass Mutual is an insurance company that is 169 years old. It's one of the largest in the world and represents a nice segment that we could call "old" or "boring" money. As I continue to reiterate in these Daily LEOs, we're seeing a narrative of more and more institutions FOMOing into Bitcoin. It's starting to become irresponsible for institutions and major investors to not have any sort of BTC exposure in their portfolios. If Mass Mutual were to increase their position to just 1% of this fund, then that would be an additional $2.15 billion that they'd purchase. While no plans for this were announced, it's not hard to imagine that they would leg in with a smaller purchase and slowly add to the position over time. This article also mentions Grayscale and the reported levels of ETH buying that is happening. Institutions aren't blind to innovation and the Ethereum blockchain services the most innovative projects in all of crypto. With a market cap of $62 billion USD, ETH has some massive upward volatility ahead of itself if institutional money continues to flow into the top 2 assets in crypto.

We met this weekend for another long LEO roundtable. This one focuses intensely on LeoFinance and WLEO in particular as we've gained a number of new tools to help us analyze price action, volume and a host of other metrics related to our ERC20 token for LeoFinance.io. Interspersed with all of these analyses, we talk about various developments within LeoFinance and talk about the overall direction we're headed in. The bull market is just getting started and the whole crypto industry is about to get swept up in a storm of heightened FOMO, media attention and all of the other emotional and psychological factors that come along with Bitcoin mooning and other cryptocurrencies following suit.

Today on the podcast we had Prof K on to tell us about his journey into the crypto space. He's one of the earliest adopters of DeFi and spent countless hours exploring and documenting this new sector of crypto before it hit the big spotlight. Prof K specializes in helping projects reach their full potential. He's had years of experience in the crypto space and focuses on growing startups and building a more robust foundation that projects can leverage for future growth. His latest venture is Fomocraft - a company that consults with crypto projects and helps them get funding, grow their community and ultimately build better products.

The previous monthly high was ~$13,700 and today will mark a close above $19k for the first time ever. We're seeing an unprecedented level of activity in the BTC futures market and in the activity of institutions getting exposure to BTC in various forms. Some are buying BTC outright while others are integrating BTC into their business model and others are investing into GBTC. Coindesk reports on the Guggenheim news that broke yesterday. Guggenheim manages over $233 billion USD in their various fund allocations. A particular fund called "Macro Opportunities" has $5b in assets and Guggenheim just filed to invest up to 10% of this fund into GBTC.

This weekend, we met for another LEO Roundtable Podcast. The whole crypto market experienced a correction and many are wondering if it's a meaningful move. We analyze this and a myriad of factors related to how the market is moving right now. We move on to discuss WLEO / LEO tokenomics - especially as they relate to exchange listings. LEO has such a low liquid supply that many wonder if we have the liquidity to list on various exchanges. In this episode, we explain the important tokenomic inflows/outflows that will accompany various exchange listings.

This is the 75th episode of the LeoFinance podcast and this might be the most wide-ranging episode we've ever recorded. We covered even more ground than usual and even had 2 of @scaredycatguide (Mitch)'s friends join the show. These 2 investors recently bought 10k + LEO each and had some questions around tokenomics, staking and security. It's always fun to see new faces on LeoFinance and this time, we got an even deeper insight into who is attracted to LeoFinance and why.

It's been a wild ride for LeoFinance, LEO and WLEO. We've done this all before as we created the first version of Wrapped LEO and launched it into the Universe. Now we're back with an improved model, a high degree of security and a much bigger community. In some ways, WLEO 1 was a blessing in disguise. It allowed us some time to go back to the drawing board on a number of aspects related to LeoFinance and the LEO token economy. With the knowledge of what happens when a wrapped token is introduced coupled with a desire to relaunch in a highly secure and compatible way, we've finally brought back WLEO. WLEO 2 marks an important milestone for our project. LeoFinance is a cross-blockchain social platform. We're built using the most powerful aspects of Hive: fast, scalable and free transactions and our platform bridges the gap to other blockchains by reaching out with projects like the LeoInfra Metamask integrations (allowing Metamask users to signup to LeoFinance/Hive in less than 30 seconds) along with vital aspects of our economy like Wrapped LEO (WLEO). Join LeoFinance and create and earn crypto for your content. https://leofinance.io

We kicked off this episode of the LEO roundtable by talking about the podcast and a future UI update to service more video content directly on the LeoFinance.io UI. We jumped into some questions that @rollandthomas prepared as we talked Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and also considered their impact on U.S. Debt. @dalz wrote a post last week about stablecoins and how they're seeing an incredible rise in printing. Is this the new norm or are we waiting for a massive shift to take place? From there, we talk Bitcoin and if there are safe ways to collect interest on your long-term BTC holdings. Thorchain's future cross-chain BTC liquidity pool integration comes up and then we talk about the differences between wBTC and native BTC. Some details about the upcoming release of LeoInfra V2, the new WLEO LP incentive model and some 5 year projections are also discussed along with a general discussion around Ethereum and DeFi.

The events yesterday have a profound impact on all of us right now. Shaking the momentum of LeoFinance and our resolve to the core. What we do in the days that follow will define how our community and platform develop in the future. As much as I wish we could go back in time and change the way that things happened, we can't. Instead, we have to learn from the successes and the failures. We have to take what is given to us and move in the only direction possible: forward. In this episode, we talk about the hack. Plans to recover from it and also our future plans to build LeoFinance into a better project moving forward including new UI releases and other features from our roadmap.

We streamed another LEO roundtable this weekend and did a post-WLEO launch round-up. It's been just over a week since WLEO debuted on Uniswap and the results blew us away. Clearly there is a desire on Hive/LeoFinance for this bridge to the broader crypto market. We're also slowly seeing Ethereum-based users creep into the LEO ecosystem one small step at a time. Show Notes: https://leofinance.io/hive-167922/@khaleelkazi/nnoqpelq With the upcoming releases to the LeoFinance UI, coupled with marketing and the new database backend we're building (LeoInfra), we're gearing up to onboard a whole lot of new people to the LeoFinance platform. These are some of the most exciting times to be a part of this community and we're still just getting started. The updated roadmap for 2020 is filled with new features and projects. Now that WLEO has launched successfully and we've built a bridge to Ethereum, the world of DeFi and crypto has opened up in a way that is hard to describe. For now, we're enjoying some nice price action on LEO.

Another day, another LeoFinance Roundtable about Wrapped LEO (wLEO). The community is gearing up as we approach this week's launch and the questions keep flowing in. There are a lot of questions about LEO, our new interface, Wrapped LEO, Uniswap, Ethereum, etc. In these roundtables, we've been collecting these questions and exploring them and others live on the show. These have been a big help for a lot of people - especially those who don't have much experience with crypto outside of the Hive blockchain. The nuances of Ethereum bring a lot of opportunities for LeoFinance and the LEO token but they also bring a lot of questions. Hopefully these roundtables have helped you as we approach the launch. We're also clipping the nuggets of content out of each roundtable and posting them on Hive/in the new wLEO repository on LeoPedia.

This episode of the LEO Roundtable podcast was streamed live yesterday. We talked about the basics of Ethereum and explored the UI of Uniswap while preparing for the upcoming wLEO launch event. wLEO represents our community's breakout into the world of crypto beyond just the Hive eco chamber. Hive provides a lot of opportunities and the blockchain technology is unparalleled in terms of allowing our community blogging interface to serve on-chain content and distribute LEO tokens to users who create and curate that content. With that said, the Hive-token protocol that we're using doesn't allow us to be easily listed on exchanges outside of Hive. This is why the wLEO bridge is so valuable to our community. The wLEO bridge allows us to step outside of Hive and get listed on nearly any exchange in the crypto space — this is because wLEO is a LEO token equivalent (essentially acting as a pegged token) and is built using the ERC20 token protocol on Ethereum.

The LeoFinance community and LEO token economy are undergoing some major upgrades in the coming weeks. We've announced that tomorrow will mark the launch of the new LeoFinance beta interface - featuring the Hive blogging UI that we've built from the ground up. Shortly after the new interface launches, we'll be launching the wLEO token on the Ethereum blockchain which we've mentioned in a few posts already. The wLEO launch is highly anticipated and a lot of people are either very excited about the launch or very confused - and in most cases, a bit of both. In this episode, TM4450 and I run through some of the top questions surround wLEO and many of the other developments surrounding the LeoFinance platform: What's the value of a wrapped LEO token?

Wrapped LEO (wLEO) is coming and we're all preparing ourselves for what's going to happen to the LEO token economy. A lot of LeoFinance users and LEO token HODLers are trying to figure out exactly how to navigate this uncharted territory as we venture out from Hive and explore the Ethereum blockchain, Decentralized Exchanges and DeFi protocols. This whole DeFi industry is emerging and growing fast. The key is going to be the coupling of fundamental developments with FOMO. As people FOMO into the coins that are listed on Uniswap (which wLEO will soon join the ranks of), we truly need to see fundamental development that warrants the speculative increases in price. Without fundamental developments, you're just holding a speculative asset that isn't worth anything outside of the bubble. As the launch of wLEO gets closer, we're answering many of the fundamental questions that arise. Users on Hive and LeoFinance are wondering about how to get involved, what it does for the LEO token economy, how the LEO price will be impacted and more. One of the main questions we've been seeing is: What's the Point of Wrapped LEO? Why would you create an ERC20 token? Launching an ERC20 token equivalent of LEO has always been in the back of our minds. The way that LEO is currently structured means that the ability for outside investors and potential users to get a hold of LEO and participate in the LeoFinance platform is **limited to people with Hive accounts**. By adding an ERC20 token bridge between LEO and wLEO, we're effectively opening up the floodgates to potential investors, users and speculators. At the start, this means that wLEO will be listed on the most popular DEXes like Uniswap and will soon branch out into other protocols like Balancer. We talk about all of this and more in today's LEO roundtable podcast. Show Notes: https://leofinance.io/hive-167922/@khaleelkazi/saslknpp

This is one of the longer LEO Roundtables that we've ever done, but more importantly: it's the first Live podcast that we've done as well. Threespeak recently updated their live-streaming platform and it worked like a charm. We had a few people join us in chat and there were no delays, no dropped frames and no lag. Streaming was a great experience and we'll definitely continue to stream the roundtables each week on threespeak. We'll also look to multi-stream it on Twitter and possibly Facebook/YouTube to try and bring in a wider audience to Hive and LeoFinance. We covered an incredibly wide range of topics during this show but we had a heavy focus on crypto and DeFi.

What an episode! In this LEO Roundtable podcast, we covered just about every tradable asset and sector under the sun. @rollandthomas led the show and took us through detailed analyses of the largest global sectors. We started the show talking about the U.S. dollar. The dollar has been getting weaker and weaker thanks to Fed policies and the coronavirus. There is a lot of uncertainty out there and plenty of volatility, but the markets seem to be getting led higher by big tech. **The big picture question** that I think we continued to touch upon throughout every single analysis is about sector rotations. Will the current trends related to big tech leading the market, the dollar getting weaker, commodities rallying, etc. continue or will we s ee a major sector rotation on all fronts?

Over a month ago, I found the Bitcoin collateral loan product by BlockFi and decided to give it a try. Collateral loans have spiked in popularity with the latest DeFi boom in crypto. Now, everyone seems to be trying to collateralize their crypto positions to take out a loan and gain instant liquidity. There are pros and cons to every collateral loan product - whether you're using a centralized or decentralized protocol. BlockFi offers a professional experience and feels more like using a new-age bank than using a decentralized protocol to collateralize crypto. With my experience in decentralized loan protocols, I decided to give a centralized loan protocol a shot and see what the pros and cons are. After using BlockFi's loan product, I can say that there are clear reasons for using either decentralized or centralized loans. For my personal portfolio, using a mix of the two types of loan products makes perfect sense. In this episode, I explain the BlockFi loan product, how it works and the pros and cons between CeFi and DeFi. In This Episode: Liquidity Without Selling - participate in gains of your collateral + use liquidity to generate other returns Taxe Advantages Use Cases My experience — just 2 days to liquidity Interest payments and paying off the loan with your collateral How Much BTC Do You Need?

Hey everyone, here's the latest roundtable that we recorded. It took me a while to edit it and reprocess the video, but it was just recorded a little over 1 week ago. We focused on our trading habits, especially as it related to the stock market. We kicked off the talk by looking at the dark energy crystal (DEC) token on Hive-Engine and how we're trading the latest dip in price. From there, we talked generally about trading and the risk of being unfocused in which industries you trade. After that, we did a deep dive on Neal's trading strategy for the SPY. He's ran some extensive research on the SPY to find a way to trade specific openings and it was really interesting to see how he worked through the math to create and refine his model. The last hour of the talk focused on options trading and credit spreads - since we've all gotten a lot more heavily involved in that arena.

In a world of disagreement and disarray, there is one particular thing that we can all agree on: technological progress. Technology is progressing forward. New innovations are continuously being released and old industries are being transformed. The questions of how much change is actually happening, where that change is occurring and how that will impact our society are all up for debate.. but the fact of progress itself is not. In this episode of Tech Talk, @taskmaster4450 and I jump into the details of technological innovation. He kicks it off by asking my opinion about the future of our world by 2035 and how technology will impact daily living. From there, we dive deeper into various topics surrounding that overarching question.

What Does it Take for a Technology to Be Considered Disruptive? 41:55 Is the World Becoming More Dystopian or Utopian? We leave it off by debating over the idea of a dystopian future versus a utopian future. There are many people who fall on both sides of this argument and there are varying reasons as to why the future is moving one direction or the other. Closing out the episode, we call upon you (the audience) to leave a comment below and tell us why you think the future will be utopian or dystopian and why you believe either is the case.

This episode of the LEO Roundtable was a journey. We kicked it off talking about the stock market and how everyone and their mother seems to have become an overnight day trader. From there, we talked about crypto adoption. Why are so many average people flocking to the equity markets to “gamble” with their extra time and stimulus money rather than going to crypto where they can work “against” the establishment and have an easier signup process (as opposed to opening a brokerage account). @scaredycatguide (Mitch) posed a great question: is this an indication of the nascency of crypto and why mass adoption is further than everyone expects?

Earlier in the week we recorded this LEO Roundtable episode and covered a broad range of topics. We kicked it off with a debate about the HIVE price and the future of the Hive blockchain — since we have different viewpoints on where Hive stands now and in the future. It's interesting to hear all sides of the story. We all use Hive regularly, but we have very different perspectives as to what the future of Hive might look like and how adoption could or could not take place. Sometimes we get stuck in a bubble of like-minded thinking as Hivians (or as anyone who belongs to echo chambers on the internet), so getting these alternative views is fascinating. From there we progressed into a broader discussion about crypto adoption and how Bitcoin's future looks. We jumped across the table and hotly debated some politics including the upcoming U.S. elections with Trump vs. Biden (and took some bets as to who would win). We switched topics back to trading and talked credit spreads. The guys sent me down a rabbit hole a few weeks back and I've since put on about a dozen trades. It was nice and informative to break down each trade and talk through the general strategy on the roundtable. 0:00 The Hive debate: does Hive have a positive future? 15:00 General Crypto/Bitcoin Adoption 29:00 Politics & The Economy.

In the latest episode of Tech Talk, @taskmaster4450 and I dove in the topic of digital economies. In the first part of this episode (the video in this post), we discussed the value of layered economies and global access especially as they relate to the Hive ecosystem.

In the 12th episode of the LEO Roundtable podcast, we set a new record for the length of a single recording session. We did just under 3 hours in this episode and covered a wide range of topics. One of the main points we discussed (for the first hour of the podcast) is LeoFinance. We wanted to run through all the numbers including ad revenue, token burning, development costs, etc. and create a proper valuation for LeoFinance as a sort of startup tech business. Because of our token, properly valuing LeoFinance can be an incredibly useful practice. There isn't a lot to go on when it comes to investing in any crypto token out there and when you can bridge solid fundamentals with the potential of a new startup, you can vastly improve your decision making process. After talking about LEO and LeoFinance, we talked about onboarding in general and followed it up by talking about streaming services and the future of media. Moving on from there, we showed off a tool called Robintrack where you can see the hottest stocks on Robinhood — a trading platform for millennials that has recently gotten a lot of attention. Then we talked credit spreads and analyzed 2 positions that I've taken over the past week in light of the last roundtable when the guys urged me to look into options spreads. We ended the show with a deep dive on dCity and talked about playing the game, earning SIM tokens and NFTs. 0:00 Discussion About LEO Tokens, How LeoFinance Started, etc. 4:30 Rundown of LEO's Finances and Inflation Rate 19:00 Giving LEO & LeoFinance a Proper Valuation Based on Assets & Cashflow 48:00 The Long-Term Model for Ad Revenue and Potential for Paid Marketing to Onboard LeoFinance Users 56:30 What's a “Reasonable” Valuation for the LEO Token Over the Next 5 Years? 1:08:19 dCity, Splinterlands and Onboarding People to Crypto 1:33:30 Streaming Services and Breaking Down the Growth of Netflix 1:49:00 How to Use the Robintrack Tool to See What Stocks are Trending on Robinhood 2:16:03 SQ Credit Spread Results (From a Trade We Talked About Last Week) 2:25:00 New SPY Credit Spread Analysis 2:34:00 More Analysis on LEO and Other Hive-Engine Tokens 2:38:40 dCity Deep Dive Show Notes: https://leofinance.io/hive-167922/@khaleelkazi/fqlzptnu

For the 50th episode of the LeoFinance podcast, we hosted another LEO Roundtable podcast. We kicked it off talking about the popular dollar milkshake theory and continued on to analyze the price of the USD now and in the near to long-term future, drawing in analyses on other major fiat currencies across the globe. Following a logical progression, we analyzed Gold and Bitcoin after our talks about fiat currencies. Moved on to talk about the S&P500 and where the entire equities market is headed during these turbulent times. The Hertz situation is one that is extremely interesting. We talked about the company, the stock price and why Robinhood traders jumped in and pushed the stock up to $6 following news of bankruptcy. Hertz is also currently in talks to be able to sell worthless stock to investors. The Tesla and Nikola conversation was also fun. We talked about the share prices and competitive advantages of these two companies as they attack the titans of the automobile industry with clean energy vehicles. One of my favorite parts of the episode is when we talked about the basics of options trading and how one can earn an income from selling options contracts. I thought this was a very interesting strategy and ended up testing it out by selling an SQ put after the show. We closed it out talking about the LEO token price, the crazy rally that we've seen recently and the future of the entire LeoFinance community. We also talked about dCity and personal strategies for building an income in the SIM token.

We had an extremely wide-ranging discussion on the latest LEO Roundtable podcast episode. We intermittently talked about LEO & LeoFinance while discussing the broader crypto and equity markets. During the roundtable, we also has a focus on the basics of charting. Since I've spent most of my time on fundamentals, I'm not well-versed in technical analysis. During this episode, I got some basic lessons in technical analysis and charting various assets like TSLA, BTC and others. We ran through some interesting strategies and one that I thought was especially enlightening was the Drecken technical indicators that we used on the BTC price chart. This episode was packed with content that covered just about everything you could imagine. I learned a lot during this recording and I think there is truly a masterclass worth of value in here for anyone who's interested in finance.

Whenever the price of Bitcoin spikes and we see BTC all over the news feeds, there is a rush of speculation and new entrants into the market. We can see this happening from a variety of metrics — Coinbase account signups, on-chain transactions, volume or even your personal text messages. The majority of people tend to take a look at Bitcoin only during these major media coverage moments. The 2020 halving event provided a major moment for Bitcoin as many of us expected. Still, I'm seeing a wide range of people continually asking about Bitcoin & crypto. The top question on their mind: Is it too late to buy Bitcoin? I'm writing this in June 2020. Of course, this question has been asked and answered many times over the past decade and will continue to be asked for the next decade to come. So if you're reading this after June 2020 and are asking the question “Is it Too Late to Buy BTC?” then know that from a fundamental sense; not much has changed. The principles of buying Bitcoin that I talk about here will remain relevant for the years to come. Show Notes and The Full Blog Post: https://leopedia.io/is-it-too-late-to-buy-bitcoin/

This week was a big one for technology. We saw the Dragon capsule launch by SpaceX & NASA where the first humans to ever be launched by a private company went without a hitch. This is also the first human launch on a reusable rocket. Seeing the astronauts flying toward space while the booster rocket landed back here on Earth to be reused in a later flight is an incredible thing to witness. We're also living in an interesting time for the stock market as we see the valuations of many companies reach back to their all time highs amidst an economy in turmoil. We talked Tesla and our thoughts about where the stock is and what the company is doing. Then we finished off the discussion by diving into the latest issues with Social Media as companies like Twitter battle with Trump while companies like Facebook seem to be bending the knee. The case for decentralized platforms like Hive has never been stronger than today and it seems that the need is continually growing.

In the last LEO Roundtable we talked about the real estate market. @scaredycatguide (Mitchell) and @nealmcspadden (Neal) have a lot of knowledge in this area and they shed some light on how Covid is impacting real estate now and in the next few years to come. With the high rate of forbearance, the growing unemployment rate and the suffering economic climate in the U.S., there are a lot of aligning factors that could cause a significant drop in the overall real estate market. Another key factor in this whole discussion is the foreclosure process and the difference between judicial and non-judicial states. I personally learned a lot from this section of the Roundtable and I think it's valuable for any investor to hear whether you're in real estate or not. It gleans some insight into having a macro perspective of a given industry and knowing when to put your capital to work and when to accumulate capital and be patient for a coming BTFD moment — which might be coming to real estate.

Welcome back to the 9th episode of the LEO Roundtable where we bring four unique perspectives to the traditional markets, crypto and anything finance-related that happens to catch our attention. On one of the first episodes of the LEO Roundtable, we talked about SLV and I ended up investing in it based on the discussion we had. That has done quite well for me over the past several weeks since that episode was recorded and in this episode we link back to that discussion we originally had as new targets for SLV (and precious metals in general) are given. I always enjoy these talks. Not just for the trade ideas that come out of them, but also for the fundamental concepts that we discuss. There's always a lot to learn and in this episode we covered everything from equities to real estate to crypto. Buckle up, this is a great episode!

We kicked it off talking about technological convergence — how many of the disruptive technologies of today are coming together and creating/disrupting entire industries. We went on to talk about 3D printing, compound growth and the importance of corporate agility.

Welcome back to another episode of the LeoFinance podcast. Today is the first episode of the new “Tech Talk” series with me (@khaleelkazi) and @taskmaster4450 (technologist and crypto investor). In this new series, we'll meet once a week to record a podcast episode and talk about the intersection of tech and finance. The goal here is to talk about the bigger picture when it comes to tech adoption, financial markets and sectors that are ripe for disruption. We will evolve as we continue to talk and find new ways to discuss these innovations that are happening around us.

We held another LEO Roundtable this week and talked about the markets especially in the midst of major central bank actions. We began the talk by discussing some LEO updates including 2 of the new websites that we added to the LeoFinance community portfolio. As we aim to raise the tide on our entire ecosystem, we see these various projects take shape and flourish. We moved on to talk about the S&P500, broader markets indices and Silver & Gold. I personally made a SLV trade after one of our first LEO Roundtables and have done well on the position in the past month as people look to these safe havens in light of fiat helicopter money. We finished off the talk with Bitcoin and Hive while also spending some time on the S2F (Stock to Flow) model and asked each other the question: would you buy BTC at these levels?

@Taskmaster4450 is a popular author on the Hive blockchain and has been blogging about the future and the intersection of technology, crypto, Web 3.0 and more. He's an avid user of Hive and also a believer in the long-term vision of the LeoFinance community. In this discussion, we talked about many of the reasons for his investment of both time and money in the Hive blockchain and his thoughts about LeoFinance as a project.

Today we held another LEO Roundtable and discussed traditional markets, equities, unemployment numbers, cryptocurrencies and bond interest rates. As always, I learned a lot during this episode and we covered a lot of ground. I always tend to find some good trade opportunities as well as some good long-term insights that impact the way I manage my portfolio. In This Episode: Unemployment numbers and how they're being dampened S&P500 to reach 3100+ before a major reversal? Bond markets — will we reach negative interest rates on the 10 yr bonds?

We gathered for another live LEO Roundtable on May 5th and discussed where the markets are at right now, where we think they're going short-term and also gave some longer term outlooks as well. We talked equities, bonds and finished it off with some BTC analysis before the halving in less than 6 days. We also talked a bit about HIVE and where we see that going in the medium-term as well. As always, the LEO roundtable is filled with a wide variety of topics.. all related to Finance. I learn a lot each episode as we all have our own expertise in different fields. As Mitch said in the last episode of the roundtable, these are basically a mastermind group where we all come together and bring different expertise to the game.
