Vin Armani is a philosopher, serial tech entrepreneur, and CryptoSavage. He is the founder and Chief Technology Officer of CoinText.io, an SMS-based cryptocurrency wallet available in over 40 countries. In addition to being a software developer, author and speaker, he has made his living as a television star, film producer, art gallerist, pirate radio station operator, DJ, and motorcycle courier. He studied Philosophy at Howard University.

A few years ago Vin founded CoinText.  CoinText is the fastest and easiest way to start receiving and sending crypto, as it uses your existing phone number as a wallet.  CoinText is built on BitcoinCash because of its rapid transaction times allow it to be used as a virtual currency for fast exchange and low priced items.

We also discuss SLP (simple ledger protocol) and how it revolutionizes crypto currency, smart contracts and more.  From there we talk about Coin Spice, a YouTube Show and news source Vin supports.  And we talk about something called Spice Token designed for tipping and showing appreciation.  We conclude with a discussion on crypto currency in general, where things are headed.  Who will the losers and winners be and what is the future of the crypto world.

Join Us Today As We Discuss…

What is CoinText and why did Vin Create it

How do you move BCH to a CoinText Number and back to a traditional wallet

Are there privacy concerns with CoinText

If you use CoinText and a merchant doesn’t, what is the solution

What is SLP and why is it so important

How many merchants are now taking crypto and specifically BCH

What is Coin Spice and what is Spice Coin and are they even related

The future of crypto currency in general

Who some of the winners and losers will be and why so many cryptos were created

All the way back in 2008 I launched this podcast and I wanted a term I could hang my hat on so to say.  I wanted something sane sounding and yet I wanted it to be accurate as to preparedness at the same time.  Within the first few weeks I came up with the concept of “modern survivalism” and hence, “modern survivalist”.  At that time I searched for exact matches of both terms and none came up.  So I anchored down on that phrase.  Today it is everywhere but I really believe TSP is the genesis of that concept.

As happens now if you ask people they have a lots of definitions of the phrase, but as the initial source I want to remind you guys what I meant when I started using it.  Simply put that while we have a ton we can learn from primitive and bush craft techniques that we have no reason to ignore or fail to use modern technology.  This can be some traditional skill set like learning land nav with a map and a compass, but also using GPS tech when available.

However, it goes beyond that, many “doomsday type preppers” are big on going all in on gold and silver and shunning more traditional investments.  The modern survivalist take a far more balanced approach, using stocks for what stocks are good for, silver and gold for what they are good for and real estate for what it is good for.  We do this while shunning consumer debt and yet knowing in some business ventures you are stupid if you don’t leverage debt.  In short we use everything available to us and create redundancy for failures.

When we look at true survivalism, as in continuing to exist and no dying, we can see some real genius in the bush craft survival concept of 5 needs being food, water, shelter, fire and security.  As modern survivalists that don’t go our of our way to be lost in the woods though we modify one of them and add a sixth.  Our new list looks like this….

Food

Water

Shelter

Energy (fire is only one form of energy)

Security

Health and Sanitation (shitting in the woods is easy, dealing with the waste of a family in the burbs is more complicated)

 

Today we discuss modern survivalism, common sense prepping and evaluation of our six primary needs…

What is a survivalist

survive – continue to exist

ist – suffix meaning to specialize in

Every human is a survivalist, the question is only how good are they at it

Modern Survivalism Explained

Our Six Primary Needs and How to Think about Them

Food

Water

Shelter

Energy (fire is only one form of energy)

Security

Final Thought – Who is really crazy?  The person who is prepared or the person who isn’t?

Today its Friday so it’s time for the expert council show. To ask a question for a show like this, just send an email to me at jack at thesurvivalpodcast.com with “TSPC Expert” in the subject line.

Today on The Survival Podcast, the expert council answers questions on vehicle maintenance, alternative health, bees, diabetes, invasive plants, AR15s, dogs, hiking, cooking, food storage and more.

In the body of your email first tell me the council member your question is for. Second ask your question concisely in one to two sentences maximum. Third any and all details after that. This is the formula to give you the best chance of getting on the air.

I do what I can to get as many of your questions as possible on the air but can’t always get to all of them. Our council is made of a wide variety of experts in everything from the tactical to the practical and everything in between.
