Why do we have a retirement crisis? How much do American's have saved for retirement? What are the solutions to solve this big problem? I discussed all these questions and provided insight on why the problems are prevalent within the economy. 

Almost half of American's don't have anything saved for retirement. Most working age households are at risk and some working professionals don't contribute to their retirement plan at all. Which in result creates a need for depending on government sponsored plans such as Social Security, Medicaid, Food Stamps. 

I mention how people have to take more control into their own hands because these programs are not intended to be your only source of income. Rather, it's utilize as a supplement. Another issue contributing to the retirement crisis is the underfunding of pensions. 

Many pensions across the world have been underfunded due to market uncertainty and companies not being able to fulfill their commitments. Bonds make up a substantial amount in most state pension plans and with interest rate hikes throughout 2022, those don't look ideal has a suitable return of investment.

Overall, there are solutions being fulfilled to help encourage more people in America to invest for the long term. The House of Representatives passed the Strong Retirement Act which will automatically enroll employees into their employer's retirement plan. Fidelity also has come out and mentioned that they will give clients the option to invest in Bitcoin with their 401K's.

This episode features Andrew Adeniyi. He described why small business leaders need to have an effective diversity, equity, and inclusion strategy. Diversity is the presence of differences within a given setting. 
Within the workplace, we explained how those difference can be race, gender, age, and socioeconomic classes. Andrew highlighted how the challenges with diversity in the workplace is the bias that can be formed. Whether it's racial, gender, or even disability bias. 
It's important for business leaders to create an equitable and inclusion environment. Where everyone is treated fair and has equal possible outcomes for success. 
As well as ensuring people to feel a sense of belonging in the workplace. This in result helps employee's feel comfortable and supported by the organization when it comes to being their authentic selves. 
We discussed the future of work and the occupations that will shift by 2030. Requiring those to have more technical or management skills that will be more in demand.

This podcast details the changing world order and how Bitcoin plays an important role on a macro-economic level. This was a breakdown of a session I watched at the Bitcoin Conference. Which discussed the macro-economics aspect of the Bitcoin network and looking at the history of economic cycles. 
The name of the session was called “Bitcoin Macroeconomic Landscape”. Speakers on the panel was Jeff Ross, Jeff Booth, Preston Pysh & Mark Moss. 
I examine each speaker’s take on where they see the economy now and what role Bitcoin plays on the global level.
Some of those concepts explained was looking at Bitcoin as a savings technology tool. It’s made to save, not to trade. This was Jeff Ross outlook on Bitcoin as a store of value.
Preston Pysh detailed the reason causing inflation and how we are seeing one of the biggest negative interest rate spreads in our lifetimes. He broke down how inflation is taking away any yield an investor can make on a bond.
I provided on overview of Mark Moss and Jeff Booth ideas around technology being the driver when looking at economic cycles. 
Mark mentioned Ray Dalio book “Changing World Order, Why Nations Succeed and Fail”. He highlited how all nations roughly rule and are dominant for 250 years. 
After that, it tends to be a reset and another nation takes over. This brought up a conversation around how the financial, political, and technological cycle is happening all once right now.
Jeff Booth closed it out with valid points around how the technology of Bitcoin is that it doesn’t require debt for the velocity of money. 
With fiat currency (dollar), it’s a credit (debt) based system that relies on the speed of the velocity of money. The reason why we have a debt problem here in the US because their isn’t no cap on the amount of dollars the Federal Reserve can print.
Therefore the panel had one common theme and that was Bitcoin is the transition the monetary system needs. The system has to changed and the technology of Bitcoin is the future of finance.

Me and Alex discuss our best moments from the Bitcoin Conference in Miami. We explained the freedom Bitcoin brings for international countries. Korea, Africa, and Venezuela all deal with fallacies with government policies and weak monetary policies. 
Bitcoin helps with these problems by having a sound monetary system that's decentralized and not controlled by anyone. It provides a store of value against currency devaluation. It also can be used as a medium of exchange. More and more institutions are using Bitcoin globally and we highlighted how it helps countries with authoritative regimes. 
We also spoke on how the U.S could be moving towards a bitcoin standard with more options to use Bitcoin at retail stores to buy items. With the Strike announcement, they are partnering with NCR so everyone has the option to use Bitcoin at most major retail chains, such as McDonald's, Walmart, Best Buy, Chick-Fil-A, etc. 
If a merchant want's to accept the payment in dollar's, they have the option to convert that Bitcoin into dollar's, if they want Bitcoin, they will get the desired currency they prefer. Which opens the doors for more adoption and the flexibility to move away from using the legacy financial system with Visa and MasterCard.
We also discuss the ESG conversation around Bitcoin and it's sustainability for 2022. It's just another challenge that this asset will overcome and we described how there are many alternatives to mining bitcoin with renewables. Such as flare gas, wind, solar, and even hydroelectric.  Please rate, leave a review, & share this podcast!

In this conversation, Bryan Dunlap talked on the market outlook for this year and how the economy is being impacted by Federal Reserve Decisions. We discuss the consequences of how constant money printing widens the wealth gap with the rich and the poor. Inflation has played a pivotal role with increased prices among food, shelter, and energy. We described what the Consumer Price Index (CPI) is and how it's often flawed the way shelter is calculated. 
Will the Fed continue to increase interest rates to reduce inflation? Will that lead to a recession? These questions were analyzed and more importantly we talked on how you can prepare if a recession happens. We look at the yield curve and explained how an inverted yield curve can be an indicator for a possible recession. 
No one knows the timing but as an investor it's always smart to stay ready, so you don't have to get ready. Other topics explained was the 4 stages of the economic cycle and where we're at currently now. Towards the end, we went over some charts for Bitcoin and Ethereum. As well as some resources to utilized with your research.

Me and the guest Vince Peterson discuss the value of fundamental and technical analysis. Fundamental analysis shows you what companies to buy, whereas the technical show you when to buy. We elaborated how to combine both fundamental and technical analysis when looking for opportunities in the market.
When focusing on fundamental analysis, you will look at the outlook for the industry, management team, current and new product lines, and the financial statements. This analysis gives you the ability to understand what potential the company has and what competitive advantage they have on the market. 
The financial statements will show you the financial health of the company. Does the company make money or lose money? All of these elements will assist when deciding what companies to buy in the stock market. 
As far as technical analysis, understanding market structure is important. Is the chart in an upward or a downward trend? Is the chart in a range where you can identify support and resistance? 
Support is the level where the stock or currency has not fell below a certain point. Resistance is the opposite, it's the level where the stock or currency has not gone above a certain point. 
Markets can also be choppy and as an investor you have to look at these different aspects to get a feel for market sentiment. Fibonacci Retracements, Candlestick Analysis, & Evaluating Time Frames were other tools discussed.

As of March 25th 2022, there is $214.92 billion total value locked in DeFi protocols. That's a mix between lending, borrowing, and staking. So this industry provides many opportunities for investors.
