Book excerpt: 2022 NATIONAL INDIE EXCELLENCE AWARDS FINALIST — SOCIAL/POLITICAL CHANGE • 2022 ASJA ANNUAL WRITING AWARD WINNER — SERVICE • 2022 NAUTILUS BOOK AWARDS GOLD MEDALIST — SOCIAL CHANGE & SOCIAL JUSTICE • 2022 AXIOM BUSINESS BOOK AWARD GOLD MEDALIST — PHILANTHROPY/NONPROFIT/SUSTAINABILITY How do we vote with our dollars, not just to make ourselves feel good, but to make a real difference? Wallet Activism challenges you to rethink your financial power so can feel confident spending, earning, and saving money in ways that align with your values. While we call the American system a democracy, capitalism is the far more powerful force in our lives. The greatest power we have—especially when political leaders won’t move quickly enough—is how we use our money: where we shop, what we buy, where we live, what institutions we entrust with our money, who we work for, and where we donate determines the trajectory of our society and our planet. While our votes and voices are essential, too, Wallet Activism helps you use your money for real impact. It can feel overwhelming to determine “the right way” to spend: a choice that might seem beneficial to the environment may have unintended consequences that hurt people. And marketers are constantly lying to you, making it hard to know what choice is best. Wallet Activism empowers us to vote with our wallets by making sense of all the information coming at us, and teaching us to cultivate a more holistic mindset that considers the complex, interrelated ecosystems of people and the planet together, not as opposing forces. From Tanja Hester, Our Next Life blogger and author of Work Optional, comes the mindset-shifting guide to help you put your money where your values are. Wallet Activism is not a list of dos and don’ts that will soon become outdated, nor does it call for anti-consumerist perfection. Instead, it goes beyond simple purchasing decisions to explore: The impacts a financial decision can have across society and the environment How to create a personal spending philosophy based on your values Practical questions to quickly assess the “goodness” of a product or an entity you may buy from The ethics of earning money, choosing what foods to eat, employing others, investing responsibly, choosing where to live, and giving money away For anyone interested in leaving the world better than you found it, Wallet Activism helps you build habits that will make your money matter.

Then, in one fateful night, she lost everything, and the nightmare began Jennifer Robertson was working hard to build a life for herself from the ashes of her first marriage. Still only twenty-six, she swiped right on a dating app and met Gerry Cotten, a man she would not normally have considered—too young and not her type—but found she’d met her match. Eccentric but funny and kind, Cotten turned out to be a bitcoin wizard who quickly amassed substantial wealth through his company, Quadriga. The couple travelled the world, first class all the way, while Cotten worked on his multitude of encrypted laptops. Then, while the couple was on their honeymoon in India, opening an orphanage in their name, Gerry fell ill and died in a matter of hours. Jennifer was consumed by grief and guilt, but that was only the beginning. It turned out that Gerry owed $250 million to Quadriga customers, and all the passwords to his encrypted virtual vaults, hidden on his many laptops, had died with him. Jennifer was left with more than one hundred thousand investors looking for their money, and questions, suspicions and accusations spiralling dangerously out of control. The Quadriga scandal touched off major investment and criminal investigations, not to mention Internet rumours circulating on dark message boards, including claims that Gerry had faked his own death and that his wife was the real mastermind behind a sophisticated sting operation. While Jennifer waited for a dead man’s switch e-mail that would probably never come, it became clear that Cotten had gambled away about $100 million of the funds entrusted to him for investment in his many schemes, leaving Robertson holding the bag. Bitcoin Widow is Catch Me If You Can meets a widow betrayed, a life of fairy-tale romance and private jets torched by duplicity, as Jennifer Robertson tries to reset her life in the wake of one of the biggest investment scandals of the digital age.

Download or read book Cryptocurrency Scams written by Matthew Gumke and published by . This book was released on 2019-12-08 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crypto scams! Cryptocurrency scams and schemes everywhere! I'm so glad you're reading this message before your friend enrolled you in their latest scheme. Dude, I got scammed over $150,000 in one of these. I was loving life. I was making money, travelling the world, getting rich and having fun. Business was great.But something was missing, what was it?I wasn't a millionaire yet.Inflation soaring. Education soaring. House prices soaring. With no end in sight.Lies about inflation numbers, unprecedented amounts of corruption.I knew I needed to buy crypto. I started doubling, tripling, quadrupling my money. On some coins, I even 10x my investment. I thought I was cool, posting my results on social media. Someone then roped me into their scheme. Within a couple of months, I lost 6 figures overnight. Everything good that was happening to me, gone. I lost my clients, fired my employees and got into credit card debt.To top it all off, I was losing friends and family members left and right. They were dropping out my life like flies.A wise man said "when money is scarce, friends are few." I've even gone homeless and hungry from this situation. I really don't want this to happen to you. I've learned incredible lessons from this experience. I've experienced being on top of the world and reduced to less than nothing in the eyes of society. These are the lessons that would've taken a lifetime to learn, all condensed into a couple of years of turmoil. Maybe you still don't know that much about cryptocurrencies and bitcoin. What is bitcoin?Bitcoin is a peer to peer, electronic cash system. It has a limited supply. It's based on ownership. You either own bitcoin or you don't. You can't go to your friend who's a banker and get a loan for multiple million dollars in bitcoin at negative yielding interest rates. You can't add more bitcoin to a digital screen to enrich your buddies. The amount of bitcoin is finite, and the amount available becomes less and less as time goes on. This is the reason why it'll soar into the multiple millions in the future when our cryptocurrencies are hyperinflated to nothing.Why do I know that our currencies will hyperinflate? They always do. The rich own huge loans against properties. They want more money added to the system, because more money in the system means their loans are worth less in real wealth. When a country experiences a hyperinflationary collapse, whoever owns the most loans wins and gets rich. The poor and middle class, get decimated. Bitcoin adds a new dynamic to the mix. The reason for this is, gold and silver are based on the value of the derivative, not the underlying asset. There's more gold and silver "in the system" than the real gold and silver in the world. It's a scam. Crypto is the only asset that cannot be fractionally reserve traded. For this reason, we've seen a huge attack from the media puppets against cryptocurrencies. Why? Because they've not figured out a way how to rig cryptocurrencies to their benefit yet. It's not as easy to live a life of corruption with a currency that you can't control the supply and distribution of. We're about to watch a lot of power shift in the 21st century. How can you adapt to the changes that are occurring?Buying bitcoin! For a start. And learning the knowledge in this book, so you can avoid cryptocurrency scams. The scammers are getting smarter all the time! I was told so many lies. They're getting better at web development, recruiting, everything. As more and more people are left by the wayside from advances in technology, more people are left without a decent income, unable to support their lifestyle anymore.These people are DESPERATE to get rich before the debt bubble pops. They're willing to do and say anything. When it pops, expect cryptocurrency owners to get rich beyond their wildest dreams. You need to own crypto during this bull run, not getting scammed out of it.

Download or read book Attack of the 50 Foot Blockchain written by David Gerard and published by David Gerard. This book was released on 2017-07-24 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An experimental new Internet-based form of money is created that anyone can generate at home; people build frightening firetrap computers full of video cards, putting out so much heat that one operator is hospitalised with heatstroke and brain damage. A young physics student starts a revolutionary new marketplace immune to State coercion; he ends up ordering hits on people because they might threaten his great experiment, and is jailed for life without parole. Fully automated contractual systems are proposed to make business and the law work better; the contracts people actually write are unregulated penny stock offerings whose fine print literally states that you are buying nothing of any value. The biggest crowdfunding in history attracts $150 million on the promise that it will embody “the steadfast iron will of unstoppable code”; upon release it is immediately hacked, and $50 million is stolen. How did we get here? David Gerard covers the origins and history of Bitcoin to the present day, the other cryptocurrencies it spawned including Ethereum, the ICO craze and the 2017 crypto bubble, and the attempts to apply blockchains and smart contracts to business. Plus a case study on blockchains in the music industry. Bitcoin and blockchains are not a technology story, but a psychology story. Remember: if it sounds too good to be true, it almost certainly is. “A sober riposte to all the upbeat forecasts about cryptocurrency” — New York Review of Books “A very convincing takedown of the whole phenomenon” — BBC News
