The LeoFinance Podcast

We decided to meet for an emergency LeoFinance podcast this morning to talk about all of the things happening in crypto right now. Tesla just filed with the SEC announcing two key pieces of news: they've purchased $1.5 billion worth of Bitcoin for their balance sheet AND they will soon accept BTC as a form of payment.

These two pieces of news have shot the price of Bitcoin from $38k to $46k today, reaching a new all-time high.

In this podcast episode, we talk about the news in real-time, how it impacts us and where we see things headed. We also talked about a strategy we might deploy if BTC reaches a certain price target where we may look to take profits without completely selling our Bitcoin.

The LEO Roundtable is back and in this episode we talk about the Robinhood, Wall Street Bets and AMC trading frenzies. @nealmcspadden and I bought call debit spreads in AMC in anticipation of a successful short squeeze. We're still waiting to see how it plays out the rest of this week.

The most important news on social media right now is the fight against Wall Street. A community on Reddit started a massive battle of retail investors vs. Wall Street hedge funds.

The crazy part is that the retailers are winning.. and in a big way. They are winning so big, in fact, that Robinhood and other exchanges decided to delist the stocks in question and major platforms are censoring retail investors and WallStreetBets community members on social media and financial markets.

We live in unprecedented times. What's happening right now is anti free markets and a change must happen.

Welcome back to the LEO Roundtable. It feels like it's been a while since we last met for a full podcast episode. You might remember the episode from 2 weeks back (our latest recording) which was "Announcing Announcements We Can't Announce Yet"

In This Episode:

We met for a happy HODLdays episode of the roundtable. I hope you all are enjoying the holidays this week and with the New Year just days away, we decided to make some friendly bets on where the BTC price will end up by year end 2020.

The holidays are generally much slower for most businesses. Trading and markets are definitely slower during these times and it is nice to get a bit of a break in the mix.

On this roundtable, we also talk about some upcoming developments, stimulus checks and some DeFi info that I found extremely helpful.

Mass Mutual is an insurance company that is 169 years old. It's one of the largest in the world and represents a nice segment that we could call "old" or "boring" money.  As I continue to reiterate in these Daily LEOs, we're seeing a narrative of more and more institutions FOMOing into Bitcoin.

It's starting to become irresponsible for institutions and major investors to not have any sort of BTC exposure in their portfolios.  If Mass Mutual were to increase their position to just 1% of this fund, then that would be an additional $2.15 billion that they'd purchase. While no plans for this were announced, it's not hard to imagine that they would leg in with a smaller purchase and slowly add to the position over time. 

This article also mentions Grayscale and the reported levels of ETH buying that is happening. Institutions aren't blind to innovation and the Ethereum blockchain services the most innovative projects in all of crypto. With a market cap of $62 billion USD, ETH has some massive upward volatility ahead of itself if institutional money continues to flow into the top 2 assets in crypto.

We met this weekend for another long LEO roundtable. This one focuses intensely on LeoFinance and WLEO in particular as we've gained a number of new tools to help us analyze price action, volume and a host of other metrics related to our ERC20 token for LeoFinance.io.

Interspersed with all of these analyses, we talk about various developments within LeoFinance and talk about the overall direction we're headed in.

The bull market is just getting started and the whole crypto industry is about to get swept up in a storm of heightened FOMO, media attention and all of the other emotional and psychological factors that come along with Bitcoin mooning and other cryptocurrencies following suit.
