I had an epiphany...

I've been in crypto for over 5 years. Either buying, selling, HODLing, swing trading, mining, staking or whatever else you can do with it. I have also been active in the stock market. Buying, selling, options...you name it. Added to that, I have more than a few rental properties so I'm not exactly new to real estate. I've spent quite a bit of time lurking in the bitcoin and cryptocurrency subreddits as well as the options, stocks, wallstreetbets and yes, even GME subreddits.

After having spent so much time in those subreddits, it hit me like a ton of bricks today...

The whole financial system is broken.

It is a rigged and broken system that heavily favors those that already have the money and power.

I know you guys and gals probably already knew that, or at least suspected. I fall in that suspected category of people, but I never really put much thought into it. I just figured that I would work hard and try to do enough so that I could take care of my family and have a decent retirement.

I honestly think that the system is so broken and crooked it will eventually collapse in on itself. At the very least, the 99% will be so oppressed that there will be nothing left to do than to go after the 1%. That is not a world that I want to me or my family to be a part of.

Cryptocurrency solves all of this!

Cryptocurrency levels the playing field. ANYONE can get ahead in life with cryptocurrency. There are many great projects out there that fill the need that the current financial system is controlling (real estate, savings, buying goods and services, transportation, medicine, security, etc.) and it's all DECENTRALIZED. With cryptocurrency, no one person or entity controls those aspects of your life.

I'm sooooo close to actually dumping everything I own into those crypto projects that could take the power away from those that corrupt the system.

Ok. I've put my tinfoil hat away and I'm done rambling. I just wanted to share my thoughts. Thanks for reading.

Not ready to go public? That’s the perfect time to think about going public

Image
The disastrous failure of WeWork’s non-IPO provided not just a dramatic crash-and-burn spectacle, but also a valuable cautionary tale about how not to do an IPO.  Even if your company is not ready to go public at the moment, if there may be an IPO in your future, things go more smoothly for companies that begin the work well in advance.  As a financial manager who consults for public and soon-to-be-public companies, I’ve worked with organizations traveling along a well-planned path, and those with an IPO date looming and management panicking. Here’s what I’ve learned in the process.  Have a business plan that demonstrates a path to profitability The first tech boom clearly demonstrated the folly of having an IPO with nothing more than “a good idea.”  Now, especially after several high-profile IPO failures, investor sentiment has swung to favor companies that demonstrate a solid growth history and a clear path to profitability.

Uber & Robinhood Angel Investor: 99% of Crypto Projects Are Garbage

Image
In 2017 and 2018, thousands of entrepreneurs were attempting to launch their own crypto project to capitalize on the bubble-like conditions. Due to the mania, there are now over 5,000 digital assets listed on CoinMarketCap — and there are likely thousands of others that failed to make the cut. Unsurprisingly, not everyone is convinced that all players in such a saturated market have value. One prominent venture capitalist, in fact, went as far as to say that 99% of crypto projects are simply “garbage.” Related Reading: DeFi Effect: Scaling Debate Begins as Ethereum Fees Reach Two-Year Highs Most Crypto Projects Are “Garbage”  Jason Calacanis is a prominent entrepreneur, author, and angel investor. If you’ve heard of him, it’s likely because of his angel investments in Robinhood, Uber, and Trello. He’s also interested in the crypto space. In 2019, he was bearish, postulating that Bitcoin could fall to $500. Yet, the investor has recently begun to change his mind, telling Morgan
