Binance

 Binance is leading the charge now. They're the main crypto titan left in the industry. They're publically releasing their proof of reserves, which takes all of the wallets that they have and, shows us how much they owe. This is a proof of reserve system. And it can't be faked. If you have missing funds, it's going to be tracked. It's all on there and recorded.

Binance is also creating a customer support fund, or a rescue fund, for the entire industry. They've put in $2 billion total now and they say APTOS and JUMP have also joined in now to save crypto. A lot of people are speculating this could go into the Genesis liquidity issue. And, remember, Genesis is not necessarily a lost funds issue. Maybe they lost some funds in FTX, but when they need to give funds back, they lent funds. What is important to note is that they have collateral, there are “stuck” crypto assets there. Maybe the collateral is staked in Ethereum. Maybe it's locked into a pool in DeFi. There are things in there that they just can't get. Maybe it's a lockup for a project. But they're not going to be using that as collateral to borrow a ton of other stuff. So it's not as bad as it was in FTX. But if it's just liquidity, then Binance could easily step in and save them. And then obviously, crypto would bounce back up because it's pricing in the bankruptcy. Crypto is coming back this week.

First of all is the Fed.

 Every week we talk about inflation calming down. This week there is a hint that maybe December’s interest hike might only be a 50 basis point move as opposed to the expected 75 basis point move.  This is why you’ll hear markets “cheer, everything is still going up. They're seeing an end in sight to these interest hikes. This is important because if one can reasonably assume the interest rate peak is going to be in February, then they can start deploying their funds accordingly.

This is the one — and ONLY — rule of wealth generation

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

Are you passing on this?

  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
