Ultimate Money – Crypto News, Reviews & How to's

After learning the ropes of the cryptosphere by speaking with experts, reporters and traders, it's now time to speak with someone behind a cryptocurrency. James Lynch is the CEO of Castlecoin, which is a young company that is applying blockchain technology to fractionalised real estate investing. As always, this is by no means meant to be taken as financial advice, but you can check them out at www.castlecoin.io

In this episode, part 2 of my chat with Castlecoin CEO James Lynch, we chat about some of the other issues they're trying to solve in traditional real estate investing. Castlecoin, still in its relative infancy, is tackling the status quo through their applications in fractionalised real estate investing. Check them out at www.castlecoin.io

So far on this journey, I've learned the basics of crypto, learnt about a range of altcoins, spoke to an average crypto investor and I spoke to a professional coin trader. Today, we take a look at life on the other side of the coin; I interview the CEO of a new company in the early stages of their life in the cryptosphere. James Lynch is the CEO of Castlecoin, and we speak about how they're aiming to solve some of the major problems or traditional real estate investing. Check them out at www.castlecoin.io

This episode is the raw, unedited version of my recent interview with Nik Patel. Nik is a crypto trader and the author of the recently published book 'An Altcoin Trader's Handbook'. If you're enjoying the show, I'd love to hear from you and get your thoughts on the show moving forward. So far, I've edited down interviews into smaller bite-sized chunks and each episode was based around a specific theme or idea, but this episode is a raw, longer-form interview. I'd love to gauge your thoughts to see what you prefer and how I should tackle these moving forward. Get in touch via the website or email me at contact@ultimatemoney.com.au

After sharing some great insights into the basics of fundamental analysis and technical analysis in the previous podcast episode, it's important to take a step back and create some rules and plans before just diving in. In the third and final episode of our chat with Nik Patel, author of The Altcoin Trading Handbook, he shares his own strategies for minimising risk and managing his portfolio. Nik also discusses some important security tips.

After getting an introduction to professional crypto trader Nik Patel in episode 10 of the podcast, now we dive deep into the 'how to' section of his book. Nik runs through the exact steps he takes before choosing which coins to invest in. We cover what he views as the most important aspects of Fundamental Analysis (the underlying coin and project itself) and Technical Analysis (looking at charts and price action).

After speaking with an average everyday crypto trader 'Joe Blow' in podcast episodes 8 and 9, now it's time to speak to a professional trader. Nik Patel has been trading altcoins for over 4 years, and recently released his book 'An Altcoin Trader's Handbook'.  This episode is a basic introduction into Nik's memoir and experience in the cryptosphere so far, as well as some basic questions that any beginner trader might want to ask. You can find Nik on twitter @cointradernik

Here's part two of my chat with 'Joe Blow', a friend who decided to get involved with cryptocurrency investing. In this episode, your friendly everyday crypto investor talks about the specific practicalities involved in buying coins and partaking in ICOs. We talk about creating accounts, picking wallets, trading on exchanges, and identifying ICOs worthy of investing in. Next week we'll be speaking with Nik Patel, a professional crypto trader and author of the new book An Altcoin Traders Handbook.

After getting a great introduction from some really knowledgeable people so far on this podcast, I decided to speak with 'Joe Blow' - just your friendly neighbourhood crypto investor. Having learned about crypto from an intellectual/theoretical level, now I wanted to learn about it from a practical standpoint. My friend Joe Blow (obviously not his real name) was just someone who likes reading about finance news, saw Bitcoin going to the moon and wanted to grab a seat on the rocket ship. In part 1 of our chat, we talk about what interested Joe in the crypto world, how he chose which coins and ICOs to invest in, and how it's panned out so far.

In this third and final part of our Altcoin mini-series, we discuss some of the smaller cryptocurrencies and some of the lesser-known coins that have got some cool ideas. Corey talks about Tron, IOTA, Monero, Musicoin and more. Just to reiterate once again, none of this should be construed as investment advice. Corey Mark Fisher does a 'coin of the day' coin review every day on ultimatematemoney.com.au 

In the previous podcast episode Corey Mark Fisher introduced us to Ethereum, Ripple and Litecoin. Now we fill out the top 6 biggest cryptocurrencies by market capitalisation as we talk about Bitcoin Cash and EOS. We even talk about 'hard forks' and 'ICOs' as an added little bonus!

Now that we've learnt about the world of crypto, as well as about Bitcoin and blockchain, it's time to look at some of the other coins. There are thousands of 'altcoins' out there; that is, 'alternative coins', which is anything other than Bitcoin. In this episode of the Ultimate Money podcast, Corey Mark Fisher shows me the ropes on some of the biggest cryptocurrencies by market capitalisation: Ethereum, Ripple and Litecoin. Corey also does a Coin of the Day review every day at www.ultimatematemoney.com.au 

In the first three episodes of the Ultimate Money podcast we've talked theoretically about the ideas that make up the world of cryptocurrencies. Now we're going to get a little more practical. I was curious to know - how does Joe Blow, your average crypto user, actually buy, hold and use crytocurrencies? Where do you get them from and how do you use them to transact for things? And most importantly, how do you protect yourself so that you don't lose your crypto, or get hacked and have them stolen from you? Here is part four of my conversation with Tim Delmastro, staff writer at ultimatemoney.com.au and the producer of two crypto documentaries.

The first two episodes of the Ultimate Money podcast covered cryptocurrency in general and Bitcoin more specifically. Now for the third part of our introductory series we look into Blockchain technology. 'The Blockchain' is what underlies the Bitcoin network - it is the distributed public ledger that verifies every transaction made of every bitcoin. Every 10 minutes, the 'block' of verified transactions is closed off and added to the chain. It sounds a little confusing at first, but Tim Delmastro holds my hand again. Tim is a staff writer here at Ultimate Money and the producer of two crypto documentaries.

After speaking about the generalities of the world of cryptocurrency more broadly in episode one of the Ultimate Money podcast, we'll now talk about Bitcoin more specifically. Bitcoin is the current market leader in cryptocurrencies, having been the original crypto after the release of an 8-page whitepaper by a person or persons going by the pseudonym 'Satoshi Nakamoto' in 2008. I'm guided again today by Tim Delmastro, the producer of two cryptocurrency documentaries: 'Magic Money - The Bitcoin Revolution' and 'Bitcoin - Beyond The Bubble'.

Today we begin our crypto journey. We'll be learning all about the new world of cryptocurrencies, talking to world-class experts along the way. So what are cryptocurrencies? I had the help of Tim Delmastro, international film-maker and staff writer here at Ultimate Money. He teaches me the ropes as he introduces us to this first step of the journey: What Are Cryptocurrencies? Listen to episode one of the Ultimate Money podcast to find out. Below are two documentaries Tim has produced on Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies: Magic Money: The Bitcoin Revolution https://youtu.be/PVo5wCSnmSs Bitcoin: Beyond the Bubble https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LszOt51OjXU

What are cryptocurrencies? What is Bitcoin? What is a Blockchain? And most importantly - what does all of this mean for YOU? Welcome to the Ultimate Money podcast. I'm Adam Ashton and I am about to start my journey through the world of cryptocurrencies. We're first going to lay the foundations and cover off all of the basics that we need to know, then we'll start to dive deeper into the wild and wonderful world of crypto. Come along for the ride, thanks to UltimateMoney.com.au - for all of your crypto news, reviews and how-to's.
