Thriving Maestro's Paradise

  "'O God!' I screamed, and 'O God!' again and again; for there before my eyes — pale and shaken, and half fainting, and groping before him with his hands, like a man restored from death — there stood Henry Jekyll!"   – from “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde”   “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” is a well-known example of a psychiatric disorder, commonly known as split personality.   Split personality is a mental disorder that is characterized by “at least two distinct and enduring identities or dissociated personality states that alternately control a person’s behavior”.   There is a very similar “character” suffering from split personality in the world if money…   Debt.   Debt has two very distinctive sides, one is evil and destructive (like Mr. Hyde), the other side is constructive and one of the most important tools for building wealth (Dr. Jekyll). Two completely different sides to the same coin.   Thus… “The Strange Case of Good and

  How bad do you want your financial freedom? I sent you a crypto newsletter because I want you to be rich and escape the rat race. However, it seems that there might be a few things stopping you.   I wanted to take a minute to talk about the two of them...   1. Money blocks.  Most people think that money is the root of all evil (personally, that’s how losers think). But the reality is it’s the root of all goodness. Wealth is what will give you the means to lift yourself up and help those around you.   As my Rich Dad said,  “Money may not be the most important thing in life, but it affects everything that is.”   2. Patience and discipline.  Most people give up before even starting (again, the mark of a loser). But achieving financial freedom is not an event… it’s a process. And it will only happen if you take the first step… and then the step after that.   In short - there’s no way to really avoid the pain or the scary parts. Inevitably, you’ll have to choose between two pains:   The p

Rule #1: You must know the difference between an asset and a liability.  Then buy or create assets.    If you want to be rich, this is all you need to know.   This is rule #1, it is the only rule.    This may sound absurdly simple, but most people have no idea how profound this rule is.    Most people struggle financially because they do not know the difference between an asset and a liability.   An asset puts money IN your pocket. A liability takes money OUT of your pocket. Here’s a question for you…   Is the home in which you live an asset or a liability?   In my view, your house is a liability. Even if you own the property with no mortgage, you still pay property taxes, utilities, insurance, maintenance, etc. Therefore: money is being taken out of your pocket. Once you understand this simple rule… all you have to do is follow it to gain wealth.   To your wealth building, Albert X Ariho

  Have you ever heard a story about a lottery winner who wins BIG… but then loses everything a few years later?   Or the sports star who’s popping champagne and kissing models at 21, but working at a carwash for minimum wage at 29?   Maybe you have that friend who thinks he’s a millionaire because his house, his luxury SUV, his fine wine collection, all add up to a million dollars.   Or the one that wants to become a millionaire, but she decided to get a loan, get an Ivy League degree, and then—maybe—get a “safe”, salaried job.   Financially ignorant people come in all shapes and sizes. But I won’t let you be one of them.   So, I want you to drill these three principles in your head:   #1. If it doesn’t put money in your pocket, it’s not an asset.  The house you live in, the car you use every day, they take money out of your pocket. So don’t call them assets. They are liabilities.   Assets put money in your pocket, and the only real assets are: real estate, businesses, and paper assets

Tinym an is upgrading to 2.0. Tinyman, by the way, is the Uniswap of the decentralized trading of Algorand. Now, Algorand is another interesting thing. Algorand was another good short, another good hedge because it jumped up like crazy to 45 cents because it was kind of the official FIFA NFT platform. I hadn't heard anybody buy anything from there. In my network at least. And it's also down. So this is down from the week when everything's up. And the reason why is because the World Cup has started and nobody cares about. You sell the news.  When it happens, like the World Cup happens, all these things that propped up these coins are going to sell off. And that is an opportunity to buy. When you have everybody selling off, there's no one left to sell, that is always good entry point. So Algorand is another good entry here. Poloniex has merged with Huobi. This made Huobi token shoot up. I'm not sure exactly if people are actually speculating on this, but it is up 46%

 Ribbon, by the way, is offering a staked Ethereum vault, so you can actually earn money on the staked ETH and on the vault, which is doing a cover called Strategies. They also announced a VIP program, so ribbon is just firing on all cylinders. They have another L1 chain coming out called AVO. I just love it when you see a project just continuously delivering stuff. I've used Ribbon, I think it's actually a great product. I have a small holding in Ribbon. I just bought some and then played with it, but it's up 21% today. And it was one of our, I believe it's one of our top five coins this month as well. But it's already up so much that I don't want to make this a spotlight coin of the week again either. It's just tough when it's up 56% over the last week. It did get hit hard from the FTX fallout. I don't want to hide that.  And then Aave, we talked about last week just having gone through a crazy attack. Someone was taking collateral, then making it
