Satoshi's Plebs

Crypto prices got you down? Maybe the economy or the pandemic or personal issues are weighing on your mind. I have some good news for you today!!!

No matter WHAT is going on in your life, you can take control of your financial future. The economy stinks. Inflation is eating away at your savings and maybe the shelves at the grocery store are a little bare.

While bitcoin and other solid crypto assets can't solve everything, they can help you find a better financial future. So begin the process of removing yourself from the world of debt-based paper money that will only lead to more destruction and decay. If you haven't done so .. it's time to join the revolution.

Our very first interview!!! Today I welcomed our very first guest to the show. I met Gary on the podcastindex.social mastodon instance where I post as @[email protected]. I had posted about todays news and he and I began a conversation. As a world traveler (many times over) he has a great perspective on what bitcoin adoption can bring to emerging countries.

We talk about lightning network adoption as well as nations using bitcoin as legal tender. Hope you enjoy the discussion!

Last episode we discussed how to earn interest on your crypto using centralized platform such as https://nexo.io. Crypto being crypto, there are decentralized methods to earning interest -- called "yield farming". Cutting out the middleman can provide a much higher return on your assets but there are risks we need to discuss.

During today's episode we cover the various ways that defi platforms can provide services that allow you generate that interest. I discuss the four primary ways that interest can be earned on these platforms. And of course we talk about risks of using a decentralized platform.

This week we will be performing your quarterly checkup. I hope that in these times of market confusion you are continuing to stack crypto. Daily, weekly or monthly it doesn't matter. What matters is that, like Nike, you just do it. The saying goes .. when in doubt..zoom out!! Don't loose sight of the end goal.
