There are timeless principles that underlie stock trading. In this episode we discuss Reminiscences of a Stock Operator, considered by many to be a classic work in the space. First published in 1923, Reminiscences of a Stock Operator by Edwin Lefevre is a fictionalized biography based on the career of legendary stock trader Jesse Livermore. Through the first-person recounting of protagonist Lawrence Livingston's career, Lefevre imparts hard won stock trading lessons. Through many booms and busts Livingston grows and forms a deeper understanding of the principles that underlie the market as well as the forces that propel it. The fictionalized biography has minimal personal anecdotes, concentrating almost wholly on Livingston's career and the events that shape the US economy during his exploits from the 1890s through to the 1920s. We were pleased to be joined by investor and entrepreneur Brad Mills on this episode, a huge fan of the book.

This episode was recorded on June 3, 2022In this episode, Brad Mills interviews author and former Federal Reserve market specialist, Joseph Wang. Known for his work "Central Banking 101," Joseph offers a treasure trove of insights from his tenure at the Fed, drawing on his experiences navigating the financial landscape post the 2008 crisis.Brad and Joseph have an in-depth discussion on the world of the repo market, its challenges in 2019 when rates unexpectedly eclipsed the Federal Reserve's interest on reserves, and the implications for liquidity and bank stability. The episode delves into critical issues like the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and the balance between capital and liquidity in safeguarding against bank insolvencies.Brad probes the possibility of the Federal Reserve's repo market interventions being akin to unapproved bailouts — a notion Joseph addresses by shedding light on the quality of collateral involved in these short-term lending agreements. The dialogue also ventures into the accounting aspects of bond maturities, the purchasing power of the US Treasury's looming debt, and the Federal Reserve's potential role in debt acquisition.Their exchange extends to Bitcoin's immunity to governmental control, contrasting its decentralized nature with other cryptocurrencies and what that means in an increasingly regulated environment. The episode advances through the murky waters of quantitative easing, the causality of inflation, and the contentious values underpinning the current financial system.Tune into this episode for a blend of expertise and provocative analyses, revealing the inner workings of the systems that move money globally.

Building the Bitcoin Ecosystem: A Post-Hyperbitcoinization VisionJohn Carvalho, CEO of Synonym, discusses the underpinnings of Synonym, a venture that promises a comprehensive ecosystem for an alternative society and economy post-hyperbitcoinization. Synonym's design principles hinge on leveraging Bitcoin, Lightning, and HyperCore as foundational technologies, steering clear of bloated blockchains to create a more streamlined, efficient, and sovereign web experience.Block Tank and LSP: Enhancing Lightning ReliabilitySynonym's project, Block Tank, seeks to improve the Lightning Network's reliability and usability. As an LSP (Lightning Service Provider) service, Block Tank aims to simplify business onboarding and wallet functionality, with the broader ambition of fostering a healthy Lightning Network ecosystem through interoperability specifications. John envisions bitcoin not just as a currency, but as a catalyst for self-regulatory mechanisms, effectively replacing centralized entities in finance and communication.Slashtags: A New Primitive for Trust and IdentityAt the heart of Brad and John's discussion is Slashtags, a technology set to revolutionize peer-to-peer web solutions. By incorporating HyperCore, Slashtags aim to dismantle reliance on major tech firms, paving the way for decentralized search, publishing, and communications. This component aligns with John's perspective on a self-regulating society free from government intervention, where reputation and web of trust frameworks can flourish.Reflections on the Bitcoin Maximalist EthosA self-proclaimed critical thinker and bitcoin maximalist, John discards the belief that the bitcoin blockchain serves any purpose beyond handling bitcoin transactions. His approach is a testament to the power of innovation without reliance on blockchain technology for all solutions. This mindset is what propels Synonym to build technologies that enable a wide range of applications without compromising on decentralization.In his reflections, John criticizes the deceptive narratives that often engulf the crypto space, especially during bull markets. He challenges the baseless elevation of blockchain as a catch-all solution and emphasizes the importance of addressing actual problems over pursuing quick riches.Innovating with IntegrityDespite John's bitcoin maximalism, he recognizes the need for interoperability with other blockchain platforms. The acknowledgment of practical solutions over blockchain orthodoxy indicates a balanced approach toward the evolving landscape of decentralized finance.In this conversation between Brad Mills and John Carvalho, we gain insights into an alternative societal vision grounded in bitcoin's philosophy. Synonym stands as an exemplar of how technology should be wielded: to empower, not exploit. As John and Synonym pave the way, this episode serves as a reminder that the future of the web and finance is not tied to blockchain ubiquity but rather to the thoughtful application of decentralized principles.Time Stamps[00:04:46] Bitcoin dismantles existing systems[00:09:03] Web3: incentivize app usage, corrupt with tokens[00:14:48] Narrative war persists, shitcoiners won't quit[00:24:58] Stablecoins used for escaping inflation in fiat[00:32:51] Changes in history result in new blockchain[00:42:10] Limitations and risks of private peer-to-peer communication[00:46:35] Multi coin wallets face interoperability challenges[00:55:49] Names can be changed but keys remain[01:02:38] Better decision making through digital trust tools[01:08:10] Slashtag beta version has bugs but functional[01:12:12] AI: potential for privacy issues, censorship, monopoly[01:23:14] Bitcoin keys[01:28:01] Be skeptical of lost keys and create backupsFind John CarvalhoJohn Carvalho on TwitterFind Brad MillsBrad Mills TwitterMIM TwitterBrad Mills Facebook

"Price inflation is the highest it's been in decades. Labor participation is the lowest it's been in decades.

Round Two with Lyn Alden and Joseph WangOn this episode of Magic Internet Money, host Brad Mills invites two previous guests back onto the show. Lyn Alden, an investment strategist with a focus on macroeconomics and Joseph Wang, the CIO of Monetary Macro, return to the show to discuss macroeconomics and Bitcoin with Brad.Brad delivers a recap of his previous discussions with the pair of experts recalling problems with proof-of-stake systems resembling fiat money. Joseph ended the previous podcast with questions about the possibility of state intervention which could disrupt Bitcoin, but Brad didn't have enough time to cover the topic on the show. Brad's intent with this meeting of macro experts is to bring this discussion to light.Peer-to-Peer TechnologiesBrad kicks off the discussion where he left off with Joseph, about censorship resistance and how Bitcoin protects against censorship. Joseph brings his traditional finance experience into the discussion and offers a perspective of healthy scepticism, given his knowledge of the banking system and more generally, the financial sector as it is traditionally known. Joseph's first concern is the case of the New York Fed testing CBDCs and in the event that a CBDC ends up being a better use-case than Bitcoin, that could present a threat to Bitcoin. Lyn brings up an important consideration here, which is jurisdiction. This episode revolves around the United States and Canada, but there are other jurisdictions like Europe and China which present different threats to the Bitcoin space.Lyn brings up some case law from the 1990's, where a US court tried to ban peer-to-peer encryption. This particular case resulted in a loss from the US government and peer-to-peer encryption was protected due to it being an expression of speech. While the original case presented peer-to-peer encryption as an inherently villainous thing, peer-to-peer encryption is now a critical component to contemporary banking.Lyn sees a balance between two things when it comes to policy about Bitcoin which are the need for the technology and jurisdiction to quote Lyn; “...part of it also depends on need… Most people (In the United States) don't feel a pressing need to get into Bitcoin”. Lyn makes the comparison to Argentina, where Bitcoin is more widely considered.The peer-to-peer nature of Bitcoin is what makes it censorship resistant across jurisdictions, but in order for Bitcoin to take off at a larger scale, individuals first need to see a need to hold Bitcoin in the first place. In countries with a strong currency, individuals may not have that need.What is the Value of Wall Street?The podcast continues and Brad discusses his trip down the rabbit hole about what money really is and how he felt like he was “living in a big ponzi scam”. Brad asks, “what is the value that Wall Street brings to the world?” For Brad, Wall Street affiliated financial markets feel like casinos. In more simple terms, Wall Street does not produce value, it extracts it and this extraction contributes heavily to wealth inequality.For Brad, Bitcoin is a path away for individuals to protect the value they've created and save in a form of money that won't be debased. Brad mentions his previous affiliation with Austrian economics and libertarianism and his venture away from a libertarian position towards a position without a political label.Brad's position is that Bitcoin has two critical components which make it worth investing in. Bitcoin competes against a centralised system which constantly debases the money supply by offering a decentralised alternative choice to that system. Secondly, Bitcoin has an amount of censorship resistance as a peer-to-peer network, as previously discussed. Bitcoin's ability to evade interventions from other institutions is the critical point of its use case. Lyn mentions some data which supports Brad's position about censorship resistance. Bitcoin has higher instances of use in countries which Lyn describes as “authoritarian” and also have weaker currencies than the US dollar. Lyn remarks “I think it kind of starts in the periphery and moves inward.” Mentioning the fact that the chain analysis crypto adoption index shows that of the top 20 countries adopting cryptocurrency of all kinds, 18 of them are developing countries, with the other two being the US and UK.Bitcoin and Fiscal PolicyJoseph asks Brad if his concern is monetary policy, which involves a discussion about inflation. Brad and Joseph debate about whether or not the disinflationary nature of Bitcoin would make it a bad global currency. Brad mentions cases of Bitcoin forum discussions from 10 or more years ago where Satoshi and other early adopters were discussing how to start Bitcoin banks with a fractional reserve. With this potential, Brad is of the opinion that if Bitcoin were to become a reserve currency, it may resemble eurodollars.Time Stamps00:00:20 - Introduction and Recapping Guest Appearances00:14:00 - Show start00:19:10 - Bitcoin and the Advance of Peer-to-Peer Technologies00:28:15 - Bitcoin vs Emerging Market Currencies00:41:43 - Bitcoin and Taxation00:49:10 - Privacy Coins01:01:24 - What is the Value of Wall Street?01:09:30 - Credit Creation in Bitcoin vs Crypto01:14:25 - The Real Risk of ETH flipping Bitcoin01:21:15 - Last Words and Closing RemarksLinks to Mentions in the Show:Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC)Lightning NetworkGeorge SelginWikileaks being deplatformed in 2010Peter SchiffRobert KiyosakiMichael SaylorMoneroExecutive Order 6102Austrian EconomicsFind Joseph Wang:Joseph Wang TwitterJoseph Wang BlogFind Lyn Alden:Lyn Alden TwitterLyn Alden Investment StrategyFind Brad Mills:Brad Mills TwitterMIM TwitterBrad Mills Facebook

If you had been paying attention to the guest on today's show, you may have gotten out of Luna or Celcius before they came crumbling down. His take on DeFi back on our April show got our attention. And with the aftershocks of FTX still rumbling through the crypto and financial world, we thought we'd invite him back to go deeper down the rabbit hole. What is the next domino to fall and how you can avoid getting burnt? We'll discuss with Brad Mills today on our “Is all DeFi BS?” Episode #651 of The Bad Crypto Podcast. FULL SHOW NOTES: http://badco.in/651 TIME STAMPS 00:00 - Intro07:30 - When were you first talking about FTX and the red flags? 11:30 - Is all DeFi a scam? 14:30 - What does this mean for Ethereum? 16:09 - You're mentioning there are other risks in the market.

What are your thoughts? 47:15 - They are scheduling a hearing about FTX. Let's look back at Sam's Tweets. He's now coming out and saying he wants to try again and make it all back.

Stablecoin LUNAcy with Brad Mills The crypto world is notorious for its risk and its unpredictability. This past week has seen both of these features surface in a big way as the Terra ecosystem has collapsed upon itself losing investors billions of dollars. What happened and what can we learn from it? In this episode, we welcome podcaster and author Brad Mills to the show to discuss in detail the warning signs and the end result of this digital ponzi scheme. Brad called it accurately back in January and he has a lot to say about Bitcoin, DeFi, Jpegs, centralized exchanges and more. In fact, if we didn't end the interview, he'd still be talking. But it's all worth listening to and you don't want to miss a moment.

Brad Mills (angel investor, podcaster & entrepreneur) joins me to talk about the fundamentals of Bitcoin, and why: - We could be heading for a great depression - How the properties of decentralization, scarcity & censorship resistance means bitcoin will perform even better if there isn't a global depression - How Bitcoin isn't immune to the collapse of the everything bubble, but will benefit long term even if there's short term volatility. -Why you should think about Bitcoin as a digital real estate, which allows you to avoid paying taxes on your BTC. -Why dollar cost averaging into Bitcoin only is the better strategy instead of investing in or trading altcoins.
