    In these latest episodes of The Blockchain Advisor™ we go back to our roots at the start of the modern-day derivatives market as we interview floor traders and brokers from Chicago Board Options Exchange. The start of the bull market in 1982 was a special moment in time we shared on the trading floor! The Crash of 1987 is an event that left an indelible mark on our psyche and taught us the meaning of tail risk as opening rotation volatility of options exceed 300%.

    In this time of high speed algorithmic trading, we can't forget the stories and  experiences of those who were the founding members of today's derivative market.

    Early members at the CBOE are passing away and we want to capture these memories. Closing rotation refers to the days on expiration Friday when a series of options were retired and the prices settled for the last time.

    The series will provide cryptocurrency and DeFi enthusiasts an opportunity to understand the foundational experiences beginning in the 1970’s where we did everything by open outcry, hand signals and paper trading cards.

  • 25. The Ultimate Technician Discusses the Role of Bitcoin for Fund Managers

    The Ultimate Technician (TUT) started as an entry level clerk and worked his way up to top manager of one of the largest trading firms in Chicago in the 1980s and early 1990’s. Since then, the Ultimate Technician continues to advise a niche group of hedge fund managers with between $ 2 and $12 billion of assets under management (AUM). TUT is an expert technician has dedicated his life to improving his craft. He is a master and renaissance man in every sense of the word. TUT offers a unique perspective on why Bitcoin may be the most important *risk-on* asset to watch of our time.

  • 24. A Digital Economy in a Box. Eric Gravengaard of Athena Bitcoin International discusses the companies bundled Bitcoin service named Ruru

    CEO and co-founder Eric Gravengaard of Athena Bitcoin International discusses their new bundled Bitcoin service named Ruru. Eric says "...we’ve ended up with this great product. It's a Digital Economy in a Box. We've bundled an ATM, Point of Sale technology & a user friendly Bitcoin wallet which holds two of the best currencies in the world; the US Dollar & Bitcoin".


    Before Athena installed 200 Chivo ATM machines 30% of the population of El Salvador over the age of 15 held a bank account. Now three months later, 4 million Chivo accounts have been opened in a country with 6 million people. Bitcoin is a fintech revolution because 20 years after the introduction of PayPal a citizen of El Salvador still cannot link it to their bank account. Eric believes fintech has failed Latin America. Bitcoin fixes that.

  • 23. Crypto Blood In the Streets!

    I'm not sure if there has ever been such a liquidation of digital assets since the 2018 crypto winter. The liquidation punished many interesting and exciting projects. Here are some of the tokens listed on Coinbase. Is this panic selling? Year end profit taking? Is pending regulation going to suffocate our chance of being able to monetize the greatest technology innovation modern civilization has ever known?


    Far left=Deeply oversold w/ respect to its 10-week moving average.
    Vertical Line= 10 week moving average

    Despite the current "blood in the streets" technical position, of 200+ cryptocurrencies the average digital asset is +3,676.18% Year To Date.

  • 17. Why Shiba Inu is Better Than Buying Lottery Tickets

    Today is October 27, 2021


    Bitcoin and Ethereum + 36% over the last month, but -11% and -4.5% on the week, sine the ProShares ETF was introduced. Shiba Inu is + 1,000% or so since it was introduced on the Coinbase platform September 16th, 2021 and + 3,871% YTD. 

    It’s a meme token introduced as a "joke" like Dogecoin but is now pivoting in the Non-Fungible token space and burning a lot of their supply of tokens. 

    · Currently $SHIB market cap is almost $26 billion and in the Top 11 of Cryptocurrencies. A market cap of 26 billion means is greater in value than;

    · Credit Suisse

    · Northern Trust
    · Delta Airlines
    · Zillow
    · WW Grainger, or the iShares National Muni Bond ETF

    $SHIB may be added to Robinhood platform soon.


    Should I own meme tokens?
    I was having lunch with my son who is 21 years old yesterday and I told him.
    If you want a 6-figure net worth, dollar cost average the S&P 500 & Russell 2000 and QQQ
    If you want a 7-figure net worth, dollar cost average Bitcoin & Ethereum
    If you want a 8-figure net worth, dollar cost average meme tokens  

    This is lottery ticket money, tear 'em up kinda money I'm talking about. $25 bucks a month? $50 bucks a month. Whatever you can afford to lose the entire price. Just like a state lottery ticket. Lotteries have a single, one-time chance opportunity to win. Blockchains technically don't disappear. They're immutable. Yes, their value may go to zero and never trade again....then again...sometime in your life it COULD come back to profitability!
