Frank is the man, and he is really well known for Gold. This was recorded around the first of march - but the macro and gold views here are evergreen and still valid. Macro, MMT, Gold, Inflation, the changing capital markets... We cover a lot.

If you're a fan on the channel, you'll notice that we cover quite a bit about alternative investments and this ends up covering gold quite a bit. But each guest really comes on with their own unique view that I find absolutely fascinating. 

Enjoy this episode with Frank Holmes on all things Macro.

Today's interview is with Shayne Mullen from BlockFi.  BlockFi is "Redefining Banking" and for retailers, offers 4 main business pillars: Interest Account, Trading, Crypto Loans, and Credit Card.

Being Paid to HODL? Not selling your crypto and accessing dollars to make the purchase (at low interest rates)?  We dive into the business model and really touch on a lot of the details (and potential risks) for the business to operate like this.  

I've been a happy BlockFi customer for a while now, and I've dropped in a referral code (https://blockfi.mxuy67.net/benlakoff) that can get you up to $200 after you deposit. BlockFi is REALLY interesting and has some great offerings for people looking to do a bit more with their crypto.   

Enjoy this episode with Shayne Mullen!
