Enough of the big words. Stop talking jargon. Alright. I will tell you in plain English. Then I will tell you what to do about it. — NUMBERS, NUMBERS MORE NUMBERS! I get it. I really do. You don’t watch CSPAN. You hate the Wall Street Journal. You might even despise the New York Times. Everyone is telling you about a bear eating a bull. What the hell right? What is a 20% pull back? What is…

Country to Country. City to City. This is the path of the hustle. Can you walk in a stranger’s shoes? — OPPORTUNITIES ABOUND Some people admire travel. Others envy it. Most I speak to wish they were as well traveled as I. Often we want what we do not have. What we have we do not want. There is irony in the human condition. I understand my opinion. One of privilege. …

Losing money is painful. Starting a race ahead to finish last sucks. Welcome to the HODLers spot right now. — LONG TERM THOUGHTS I think digital assets have a long-lasting impact on our society. The creation of decentralized ledgers to perform trustless verification is a huge step in the financial industry. Decentralized ledgers move the financial industry towards transparency. Transparency is key to trust, but privacy is key to preventing…

Privilege and entitlement. Ego and presumption. How much can money buy? Apparently not enough. — HUMILITY Humility seems hard to come by these days. Showing up is enough for a lot of people. Just like trees they stand there. People quietly sway in the wind hoping to get noticed. I guess. I see twenty eighth place awards trophies lined up, a couple of last place…

We’re all chasing the bonus. We all want larger checks. Punchline? The bonus and the check still don’t get us what we want. — PLAYING NUMBERS Everyone wants more money. You’re working hard every day. There is that raise they promised you. You want it. Hell, you deserve it. There’s no one who stays as late as you. It’s normal to feel the way you do. Afterall, hard work should earn you the right…

Double standards. Sideways talk. This is our culture. Buy now pay later is our slogan. Later is already here though. — BETTING ON A COLLAPSE I know. You’ve read a million articles about monetary collapse. I’m not talking monetary collapse. Every great writer predicted America’s end with failure. Every good economist forecasted American recession prior to record surges. Every person trading leverage watched the US Federal Reserve wipe out their trade.

Ego is the master of many. Rarely do few take heed of reason. Seldom do those in charge listen…except when it’s words of a child. — THE GOD-AWFUL TRUTH The truth of the matter is harsh. People have forgotten humanity. We are so wrapped up in self-inflicted issues. Border issues, security concerns, immigration, and historical bravado. These are fictions we create. Our endless pursuit of material wealth, natural resources, and control created a catastrophic situation.

A woman spends time on her relationship. A man spends money chasing his glory. Both have bills coming due. Which one would you pick up? — WE’RE ALL KIDDING OURSELVES Relationship talk or money talk? Think they are different? You would be surprised. Marriage, love, and situation-ships all have their supporters. Every person is rational in their approach. Every person has their version of the truth.

A millionaire with insight. A billionaire with vision. A thousandaire with dreams. All of you miss the point. — Many can read profit and loss. Some can understand profit and loss. Very few derive the message from profit and loss. Balance sheets, or statements of financial position? Retained earnings or distributed dividends? Are there increases in bottom lines or decreases?
