  • LEO Roundtable #13 - Hive Debate, Crypto Adoption, Politics and Options Trading Tactics

    Earlier in the week we recorded this LEO Roundtable episode and covered a broad range of topics. We kicked it off with a debate about the HIVE price and the future of the Hive blockchain — since we have different viewpoints on where Hive stands now and in the future.

    It’s interesting to hear all sides of the story. We all use Hive regularly, but we have very different perspectives as to what the future of Hive might look like and how adoption could or could not take place. Sometimes we get stuck in a bubble of like-minded thinking as Hivians (or as anyone who belongs to echo chambers on the internet), so getting these alternative views is fascinating.

    From there we progressed into a broader discussion about crypto adoption and how Bitcoin’s future looks. We jumped across the table and hotly debated some politics including the upcoming U.S. elections with Trump vs. Biden (and took some bets as to who would win).

    We switched topics back to trading and talked credit spreads. The guys sent me down a rabbit hole a few weeks back and I’ve since put on about a dozen trades. It was nice and informative to break down each trade and talk through the general strategy on the roundtable.

    • Tech Talk #5 - Digital Economies, Hive and Creating Abundance

      In the latest episode of Tech Talk, @taskmaster4450 and I dove in the topic of digital economies. In the first part of this episode (the video in this post), we discussed the value of layered economies and global access especially as they relate to the Hive ecosystem.

    • LEO Roundtable #12: LeoFinance Valuation as a Startup, Crypto Onboarding, Tech Companies, Robintrack and Credit Spreads

      In the 12th episode of the LEO Roundtable podcast, we set a new record for the length of a single recording session. We did just under 3 hours in this episode and covered a wide range of topics.

      One of the main points we discussed (for the first hour of the podcast) is LeoFinance. We wanted to run through all the numbers including ad revenue, token burning, development costs, etc. and create a proper valuation for LeoFinance as a sort of startup tech business.

      Because of our token, properly valuing LeoFinance can be an incredibly useful practice. There isn’t a lot to go on when it comes to investing in any crypto token out there and when you can bridge solid fundamentals with the potential of a new startup, you can vastly improve your decision making process.

      After talking about LEO and LeoFinance, we talked about onboarding in general and followed it up by talking about streaming services and the future of media.

      Moving on from there, we showed off a tool called Robintrack where you can see the hottest stocks on Robinhood — a trading platform for millennials that has recently gotten a lot of attention.

      Then we talked credit spreads and analyzed 2 positions that I’ve taken over the past week in light of the last roundtable when the guys urged me to look into options spreads.

      We ended the show with a deep dive on dCity and talked about playing the game, earning SIM tokens and NFTs.

      • LEO Roundtable #11: Dollar Milkshake Theory, Options Trading for Income, TSLA vs. Nikola, Bitcoin, LEO & dCity

        For the 50th episode of the LeoFinance podcast, we hosted another LEO Roundtable podcast. We kicked it off talking about the popular dollar milkshake theory and continued on to analyze the price of the USD now and in the near to long-term future, drawing in analyses on other major fiat currencies across the globe.

        Following a logical progression, we analyzed Gold and Bitcoin after our talks about fiat currencies. Moved on to talk about the S&P500 and where the entire equities market is headed during these turbulent times.

        The Hertz situation is one that is extremely interesting. We talked about the company, the stock price and why Robinhood traders jumped in and pushed the stock up to $6 following news of bankruptcy. Hertz is also currently in talks to be able to sell worthless stock to investors.

        The Tesla and Nikola conversation was also fun. We talked about the share prices and competitive advantages of these two companies as they attack the titans of the automobile industry with clean energy vehicles.

        One of my favorite parts of the episode is when we talked about the basics of options trading and how one can earn an income from selling options contracts. I thought this was a very interesting strategy and ended up testing it out by selling an SQ put after the show.

        We closed it out talking about the LEO token price, the crazy rally that we’ve seen recently and the future of the entire LeoFinance community. We also talked about dCity and personal strategies for building an income in the SIM token.

        • LEO Roundtable #10: Bitcoin Volatility, Basic TA Lessons, Future of LeoFinance and Dividend Growth

          We had an extremely wide-ranging discussion on the latest LEO Roundtable podcast episode. We intermittently talked about LEO & LeoFinance while discussing the broader crypto and equity markets.

          During the roundtable, we also has a focus on the basics of charting. Since I’ve spent most of my time on fundamentals, I'm not well-versed in technical analysis. During this episode, I got some basic lessons in technical analysis and charting various assets like TSLA, BTC and others.

          We ran through some interesting strategies and one that I thought was especially enlightening was the Drecken technical indicators that we used on the BTC price chart.

          This episode was packed with content that covered just about everything you could imagine. I learned a lot during this recording and I think there is truly a masterclass worth of value in here for anyone who’s interested in finance.

          • #48 - Is it Too Late to Buy Bitcoin?

            Whenever the price of Bitcoin spikes and we see BTC all over the news feeds, there is a rush of speculation and new entrants into the market. We can see this happening from a variety of metrics — Coinbase account signups, on-chain transactions, volume or even your personal text messages.

            The majority of people tend to take a look at Bitcoin only during these major media coverage moments. The 2020 halving event provided a major moment for Bitcoin as many of us expected. Still, I’m seeing a wide range of people continually asking about Bitcoin & crypto.

            The top question on their mind: Is it too late to buy Bitcoin?

            I’m writing this in June 2020. Of course, this question has been asked and answered many times over the past decade and will continue to be asked for the next decade to come. So if you’re reading this after June 2020 and are asking the question “Is it Too Late to Buy BTC?” then know that from a fundamental sense; not much has changed. The principles of buying Bitcoin that I talk about here will remain relevant for the years to come.

          • Tech Talk #3 - SpaceX Launch, Tesla Skyrocketing, Social Media and the Need for Platforms Like Hive

            This week was a big one for technology. We saw the Dragon capsule launch by SpaceX & NASA where the first humans to ever be launched by a private company went without a hitch. This is also the first human launch on a reusable rocket.

            Seeing the astronauts flying toward space while the booster rocket landed back here on Earth to be reused in a later flight is an incredible thing to witness.

            We’re also living in an interesting time for the stock market as we see the valuations of many companies reach back to their all time highs amidst an economy in turmoil. We talked Tesla and our thoughts about where the stock is and what the company is doing.

            Then we finished off the discussion by diving into the latest issues with Social Media as companies like Twitter battle with Trump while companies like Facebook seem to be bending the knee. The case for decentralized platforms like Hive has never been stronger than today and it seems that the need is continually growing.

            • How Covid is Bringing Massive Opportunities to the Real Estate Market in 2021 | Clip From #46

              In the last LEO Roundtable we talked about the real estate market. @scaredycatguide (Mitchell) and @nealmcspadden (Neal) have a lot of knowledge in this area and they shed some light on how Covid is impacting real estate now and in the next few years to come.

              With the high rate of forbearance, the growing unemployment rate and the suffering economic climate in the U.S., there are a lot of aligning factors that could cause a significant drop in the overall real estate market.

              Another key factor in this whole discussion is the foreclosure process and the difference between judicial and non-judicial states.

              I personally learned a lot from this section of the Roundtable and I think it’s valuable for any investor to hear whether you’re in real estate or not. It gleans some insight into having a macro perspective of a given industry and knowing when to put your capital to work and when to accumulate capital and be patient for a coming BTFD moment — which might be coming to real estate.

            • #46 - LEO Roundtable: V Recovery? Gold & Silver, Bitcoin & Potential Real Estate Crash

              Welcome back to the 9th episode of the LEO Roundtable where we bring four unique perspectives to the traditional markets, crypto and anything finance-related that happens to catch our attention.

              On one of the first episodes of the LEO Roundtable, we talked about SLV and I ended up investing in it based on the discussion we had. That has done quite well for me over the past several weeks since that episode was recorded and in this episode we link back to that discussion we originally had as new targets for SLV (and precious metals in general) are given.

              I always enjoy these talks. Not just for the trade ideas that come out of them, but also for the fundamental concepts that we discuss. There’s always a lot to learn and in this episode we covered everything from equities to real estate to crypto. Buckle up, this is a great episode!
