Download or read book Crypto Rich written by Knowledge Smith and published by ISBN Services. This book was released on 2021-06-23 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do you see when you look at the world? Wealth? Power? Opportunity? All of that is there for the taking, but I also see the rich getting richer, always working to block out any new players trying to hustle and come up in the game. The financial systems that govern the world were not made to benefit the new generation of investors. Millennials tend to occupy entry-level jobs more than other generations, which means harder work for lower pay. After paying for bills and living expenses, there's just not much money left over. Unfortunately, saving for the future with traditional bank accounts doesn't generate wealth the way we were taught it would. Cryptocurrency offers a way to divorce ourselves from the current financial system and the way it constricts our growth. The banks gamble with our money, keep 99.9% of the profit when they win and get reimbursed by the government when they lose. Do we really expect them to let us into the game? When whole cultures and generations of people have been blocked from the opportunity to invest meaningfully and earn a decent return on investment, are we surprised that our economics revolve around borrowing money from others? What if we could grow our own finances without permission from the mysterious people who oversee the financial system from the shadows? We already know that low interest rate loans are not available for everyone. It is a privilege to be able to borrow large amounts of money from strangers, a privilege that is not available to everyone. Imagine if you could cultivate your own ability to multiply your savings without relying on the big banks? Crypto investing offers that opportunity to anyone willing to try something new. If you are looking for a straightforward and simple guide on how to jump in the cryptocurrency market, this is it. Learning a new skill might be uncomfortable at first, but do not misconstrue this as difficulty. Investing your earnings in assets that on average will increase in value over time is easy. For decades, people have been buying gold and silver to give their money a chance to grow in value instead of shrinking with inflation. The supercomputer in your pocket right now has a lightning-fast connection to the rest of the world. Your smartphone is your key to joining the Decentralized Finance revolution. You now have the choice between money that decreases in value every year and money that increases in value over time. If you become an early investor in quality cryptocurrency projects, you will grow your investment and have the opportunity to sell your tokens and coins to financial institutions and other latecomers for a huge profit. When big banks jump into crypto late in the game, they pay a high price per coin. That profit could be yours if you invest early at a low price. The lessons in this book will show you how to understand the basics of the cryptocurrency markets and the fundamentals that influence which altcoins will be successful over time. You will learn about: The History of Bitcoin & Future of Altcoins 5 Key Factors of Every Cryptocurrency Planning an Investment Budget Developing Your Investment Strategy Crypto Investing Step by Step You want to be the next Millennial Millionaire?

Download or read book The Social Currency written by Cecil (CJ) John and published by . This book was released on 2020-07-22 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While watching the popular TV show Money Heist, in Episode 8, Season 2, right at the 40-minute mark, Cecil (CJ) John, the author, had an epiphany. The premise of the show was that a "bunch of losers" broke into the Royal Mint of Spain, seizing hostages with a singular strategy: stay in the mint for as long as they could so that they could print as many unmarked euros as possible; effectively minting their own money.The Social Currency addresses the idea that money is a social construct, and therefore so is poverty. The book showcases several communities that confronted their financial disadvantages by creating their own currency. These economic activists challenged the idea that money, by definition, had to be created and controlled by the government, locally instituting the printing of money in the process. Some examples of alternative currencies are the Brixton pound (B£) and blockchain's bitcoin. Today, you can exchange the Brixton pound one for one against the pound sterling.In 2017, the bitcoin cryptocurrency that the anonymous Satoshi Nakomoto reserved for himself, was worth $22 billion. It is time for the community to be actively involved in the process of minting money. Money is a social construct and a medium for the exchange of value, and the essence of morality is the transaction. CJ traces the history of trade from bartering, standardized metal coins through to government-controlled fiat, and today's cryptocurrency. Interestingly, today we refer to blockchain as the Internet of value.The dominant morality in any given moment arises from an oscillation of power between what the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche referred to as the Masters and the Herd or the oppressor vs. the oppressed. Absolute power corrupts, and it is time to challenge the idea that government-controlled money, and the "Masters" that support it, are suitable for the wider society. It's time to confront the notion that money in its current state is appropriate for Herd's social and fiscal interests.Minorities, women, and even the disadvantaged among whites struggle to raise valuable capital to develop their goods and services. The Social Currency concludes with a proposed strategy and technology infrastructure to alleviate poverty, the intersection of bartering, cryptocurrency, and financing. CJ will present the architecture that will realize innovations such as blockchain decentralized data so that the consumer not only controls but leverages their medical, academic, social media records, and more. Decentralized identities will allow consumers to seamlessly and secure the exchange of value across national borders.

Download or read book The Scandal of Money written by George Gilder and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-03-28 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Why do we think governments know how to create money? They don't. George Gilder shows that money is time, and time is real. He is our best guide to our most fundamental economic problem." --Peter Thiel, founder of PayPal and Palantir Technologies "Thirty-five years ago, George Gilder wrote Wealth and Poverty, the bible of the Reagan Revolution. With The Scandal of Money he may have written the road map to the next big boom." --Arthur B. Laffer, coauthor of the New York Times bestseller An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of States "Gilder pushes us to think about the government monopoly on money and makes a strong case against it. If you believe in economic freedom, you should read this book." --Senator Jim DeMint, president of The Heritage Foundation As famed economist and New York Times bestselling author George Gilder points out, “despite multi-billion dollar stimulus packages and near-zero interest rates, Wall Street recovers but the economy never does.” In his groundbreaking new book, The Scandal of Money, Gilder unveils a radical new explanation for our economic woes. Gilder also exposes the corruption of the Federal Reserve, Washington power-brokers, and Wall Street’s “too-big-to-fail” megabanks, detailing how a small cabal of elites have manipulated currencies and crises to stifle economic growth and crush the middle class. Gilder spares no one in his devastating attack on politicians’ economic policies. He claims that the Democrats will steer us to ruin – but points out that Republicans are also woefully misguided on how to salvage our economic future. With all major polls showing that voters rank the economy as one of the top three “most important problems” facing the nation, Gilder’s myth-busting, paradigm-shifting recipe for economic growth could not come at a more critical time. In The Scandal of Money, the reader will learn: Who is to blame for the economic crippling of America How the new titans of Wall Street value volatility over profitability Why China is winning and we are losing Who the real 1% is and how they are crushing the middle class The hidden dangers of a cashless society What Republicans need to do to win the economic debate—and what the Democrats are doing to make things worse

Download or read book Wealth and Poverty in Contemporary Brazilian Capitalism written by Gustavo Moura de Cavalcanti Mello and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-21 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses contemporary capitalism from Brazil and from the Marxian critique of political economy, particularly; the co-dependency of wealth and poverty and of civilization and barbarism; the current tendency towards capital over-accumulation and the specific form assumed by the capitalist crisis in recent decades; the financialisation process of capital accumulation, its effects on the world of labour; and the place that the state assumes in this broad process. Current trends toward increasing social inequality, impoverishment of large sections of the population, precariousness of labour and rising unemployment, environmental destruction, the spread of austerity policies and the suppression of social policies, the rise of the far right (together with the strengthening of racism, misogyny, xenophobia, political and religious fanaticism and all manner of intolerance, etc.), low economic growth, the primacy of the financial dimension of capital accumulation, all need to be understood in their multiple and complex articulations, as fundamental and inherent elements of contemporary capitalism, associating empirical analysis with conceptual construction. Because they are strictly contradictory processes, a dialectical approach is required that reclaims the Marxian legacy, and aims to contribute to updating it, seeking to bring new and relevant elements to the Marxist debate, based on a specific interpretation of Marx's work, and as an immediate empirical basis the Brazilian reality.

Download or read book Give People Money written by Annie Lowrey and published by Crown. This book was released on 2018-07-10 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A brilliantly reported, global look at universal basic income—a stipend given to every citizen—and why it might be the answer for our age of rising inequality, persistent poverty, and dazzling technology. Imagine if every month the government deposited $1,000 into your checking account, with no strings attached and nothing expected in return. It sounds crazy. But it has become one of the most influential and discussed policy ideas of our time. The founder of Facebook, President Obama’s chief economist, Canada and Finland’s governments, the conservative and labor movements’ leading intellectual lights—all are seriously debating versions of a UBI. In this sparkling and provocative book, economics writer Annie Lowrey looks at the global UBI movement. She travels to Kenya to see how a UBI is lifting the poorest people on earth out of destitution, India to see how inefficient government programs are failing the poor, South Korea to interrogate UBI’s intellectual pedigree, and Silicon Valley to meet the tech titans financing UBI pilots in expectation of a world with advanced artificial intelligence and little need for human labor. Lowrey also examines the challenges the movement faces: contradictory aims, uncomfortable costs, and most powerfully, the entrenched belief that no one should get something for nothing. The UBI movement calls into question our deepest intuitions about what we owe each other. Yet as Lowrey persuasively shows, a UBI—giving people money—is not just a solution to our problems, but a better foundation for our society in this age of marvels.
