Speaker 1: So the big question is this, how do investors like
Speaker 1: us get access to the ideas, information, and most importantly,
Speaker 1: the right people that give us the tools and information
Speaker 1: we need to make informed and educated decisions to have success.
Speaker 1: That is the question, and this podcast will give us
Speaker 1: the answers. This is Mark Moss, your host. Let's get
Speaker 1: this started. Welcome to another episode of the Market Disruptors podcast.
Speaker 1: We are all about extracting value from some of the
Speaker 1: best and brightest minds out there in the blockchain cryptocurrency space.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the builders, the developers, the engineers, and
Speaker 1: the investors. Now, I've always believed that success leaves clues,
Speaker 1: and that means that we find other people that are successful.
Speaker 1: We find out what they did to be successful. We
Speaker 1: do about the same things and we should achieve about
Speaker 1: the same results. It's one of the reasons why I'm
Speaker 1: such a huge reader. I believe that reading is a
Speaker 1: is a way to hack um knowledge of other successful
Speaker 1: people and bring that into our own lives. And we
Speaker 1: want to learn from other people instead of having to
Speaker 1: try and figure this out on our own, and the
Speaker 1: Market Disruptors podcast is all about that. Taking the biggest
Speaker 1: and brightest minds, hacking them, learning what we can extract
Speaker 1: from them, and then giving it to you, so you
Speaker 1: have an unfair advantage over the rest of the industry. Now,
Speaker 1: most people don't have access to people like this to
Speaker 1: ask them the questions. Right. Most most investors are out
Speaker 1: there on their own, just working on their own trying
Speaker 1: to figure things out. And there's a lot of noise
Speaker 1: in the space. Now, if you spend any time on
Speaker 1: social media, you know you're on Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, whatever,
Speaker 1: there's so much noise, what I mean, just so many
Speaker 1: different people's opinions, and a lot of people seem really smart, right.
Speaker 1: You read their their medium article, you read their tweet storms,
Speaker 1: and they make a very compelling case. But then you
Speaker 1: find people that are on the exact opposite side, and
Speaker 1: it gets really hard to through the noise find out
Speaker 1: what is true, find out what you should really be
Speaker 1: paying attention to. And part of the reason why that's
Speaker 1: hard is because you're not sure who has the credibility. Right.
Speaker 1: Most of these people, especially on Twitter, are anonymous. They
Speaker 1: might have a random image or animal as their avatar,
Speaker 1: and you don't even know who they are. You don't
Speaker 1: even know how credible they are. And so it makes
Speaker 1: it really hard to discern that. So if you could
Speaker 1: sit down with the people who are actually doing it,
Speaker 1: people who have experienced, people who are building, people who
Speaker 1: are investing huge amounts of money, you feel little bit
Speaker 1: better about the information you can get. But of course,
Speaker 1: like I said before, it's hard to get access to that.
Speaker 1: So that's what this platform is. We are getting those people,
Speaker 1: we are bringing them here, we are extracting that information
Speaker 1: and asking them the questions you wish that you could ask.
Speaker 1: Were the questions that you should ask if you had
Speaker 1: the opportunity, And that's what we're gonna do each and
Speaker 1: every week. So, like I said, you can have an
Speaker 1: unfair advantage in the markets. Now. So far, we've had
Speaker 1: eight amazing guests and we have learned so much from
Speaker 1: them already. Now we've had um We've had guests on
Speaker 1: a wide range of topics. We had crypto beetles from
Speaker 1: Monarch Wallet, and we learned all about how to store cryptocurrencies.
Speaker 1: We learned about wallet storage, we learned about safety, and
Speaker 1: those are all super important things. Now. I've been the
Speaker 1: Internet for a really long time. I started my first
Speaker 1: e commerce business in two thousand one at the bottom
Speaker 1: of the dot com crash, which was a bad time
Speaker 1: to start. But I guess have a history of being
Speaker 1: u invested in building through the bear markets. But you know,
Speaker 1: I've been on the I've been on the internet ever since.
Speaker 1: I've been involved in online business ever since. And the
Speaker 1: reason why I say that is because, um, I believe
Speaker 1: that my security and my knowledge of of you know,
Speaker 1: these types of technologies and every based things are it's
Speaker 1: pretty high, definitely much higher than the average person. And
Speaker 1: I've had problems. I've had problems with story my crypto,
Speaker 1: I've had problems with my security. I've had my wallet
Speaker 1: hacked and I've lost a lot of coins, a lot
Speaker 1: um and I've lost my keys. I mean, I have
Speaker 1: had these problems. And so it's a super important topic.
Speaker 1: And we really get into the wall at the storage,
Speaker 1: the safety, and so those are super important things. Hopefully
Speaker 1: we've got a lot out of that. And then we
Speaker 1: talked to um someone we really went outside the box
Speaker 1: where or actually say we went outside the crypto ecosystem
Speaker 1: and we went and sat down with what I call
Speaker 1: the mind of a champion. Now, in order to become
Speaker 1: a champion, you have to have a certain mindset, and
Speaker 1: we went and sat down with UFC legend Kinny Florian. Now, again,
Speaker 1: he's outside the crypto ecosystem for the most part, except
Speaker 1: for he is an investor in cryptocurrencies. So he's super
Speaker 1: into cryptocurrencies. And part of the reason why is because
Speaker 1: he was old enough to see the internet investment opportunities. Um,
Speaker 1: he's a he's a college graduate, he's a super smart
Speaker 1: he to invest in business. Excuse me, he invested businesses,
Speaker 1: he invest in real estate, and he has been actively
Speaker 1: invested into cryptocurrencies. And he has an amazing take on this,
Speaker 1: and again like how does a champion think, like what
Speaker 1: is it that that is that has shaped the way
Speaker 1: that they live their life or think that's really led
Speaker 1: to that success that he's had over and over and
Speaker 1: over in the UFC, you know, in college and wrestling,
Speaker 1: in the UFC, in other types of investment. So there's
Speaker 1: a lot of really good nuggets that we get out
Speaker 1: of that, and so, UM, I think it's a really
Speaker 1: good interview and hopefully everybody listened to that, and then
Speaker 1: we learned about the case for why bitcoin now. UM,
Speaker 1: A lot of times people ask me all the time,
Speaker 1: like what should I say to somebody knew who doesn't
Speaker 1: really understand this. And you know what I see most
Speaker 1: times is people are trying to explain the technical side
Speaker 1: of bitcoin or cryptocurrencies. Um, what a blockchain is, how
Speaker 1: blocks attached to one another, what the consensus mechanism is,
Speaker 1: you know, all these types of things. But that's what, right,
Speaker 1: that's the that's the the features that that's how it works.
Speaker 1: It's not why we need it or why we should
Speaker 1: use it. And I believe that's the most compelling case. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, most people just take the Internet for granted.
Speaker 1: And if you were going to explain someone, oh, you
Speaker 1: should get on the internet because you can get email
Speaker 1: and you can watch videos on YouTube. Right, you're not
Speaker 1: explaining how the internet works. You're not saying, well, you
Speaker 1: take your computer and you hook it up to a
Speaker 1: chord and then that chord hooks to a router, and
Speaker 1: that router goes to your I S P and like
Speaker 1: somehow it digitizes the packets of data and it sends
Speaker 1: him through a transmission line and then a computer decodes
Speaker 1: that packet. Like you don't get into that. Nobody cares
Speaker 1: about that. That's the last thing anybody needs to know
Speaker 1: what cares about. It really comes down to why why
Speaker 1: should use the Internet. Like if you went to your grandma, right,
Speaker 1: maybe she's not very technically savvy, you said, Grandma, I
Speaker 1: want you to get this Internet then so we can
Speaker 1: face time each other. Right, So you've given her a
Speaker 1: compelling reason why. And that's what I believe that we
Speaker 1: need to be focusing on with the blockchain, with cryptocurrency,
Speaker 1: with bitcoin, is why right now, it's such an early
Speaker 1: stages that we really need to focus on the compelling
Speaker 1: reason why, because at this point it's not really that usable,
Speaker 1: to be honest, and I see everybody that's just um,
Speaker 1: you know, they don't have the patients, and everybody really
Speaker 1: wants it to be further along than it is. Everybody
Speaker 1: wants to be able to go out and use it
Speaker 1: as money today and there's not enough merchants accepting it
Speaker 1: and things like that. Or they wanted to be a
Speaker 1: stable store of value but it's too volatile and they
Speaker 1: don't have the patients to understand that. And if we
Speaker 1: could be true believers into the why we want this
Speaker 1: to happen, I think it helps take all that out.
Speaker 1: So we got into it with Ben Swan and We've
Speaker 1: talked about the case for a bitcoin or why bitcoin,
Speaker 1: and really it's about censorship resistant and to me that's
Speaker 1: the number one benefit. Its censorship resistant, meaning that nobody
Speaker 1: can stop bit, nobody can block it, prevent it, so
Speaker 1: I can hold my wealth, my value and not just
Speaker 1: money but value. And we'll talk about that later. But
Speaker 1: my value is is many different things could be my information,
Speaker 1: but could be my money. And no, no bank, no
Speaker 1: government can seize it. You can freeze it, can stop it.
Speaker 1: If I want to send it to you, nobody can
Speaker 1: block that or prevent that from happening. Its censorship resistant. Now, UM,
Speaker 1: if you're in the US, a lot of times people
Speaker 1: don't really understand the benefit of that. If you're from
Speaker 1: other countries, you do. Because bank accounts get taken and
Speaker 1: seized all the time. Right. We've seen, um from an
Speaker 1: example like in Cyprus where they just took you know,
Speaker 1: up to bank deposits obviously in them in more corrupt
Speaker 1: countries where they're just taken all the bank deposits. UM.
Speaker 1: We've put in the United States, the thousands and thousands
Speaker 1: of bank accounts get ceased every year, UM. And we
Speaker 1: prevent people from using your money so for example, UM,
Speaker 1: people that wanted to support Julian Assange from United States
Speaker 1: weren't able to send him money until you took cryptocurrencies UM.
Speaker 1: So that's what I'm talking about, my censorship resistant UM.
Speaker 1: And again in the US sometimes you don't realize when
Speaker 1: you need that. But today, right now, the last couple
Speaker 1: of days, I should say, we've seen in Hong Kong
Speaker 1: where we've had these massive protests and people are out
Speaker 1: there with trying to find their privacy, trying to use
Speaker 1: cash because the cash is UM censorship resistant. They haven't
Speaker 1: been using their cards to participate in these protests. And
Speaker 1: so Ben Swan really gets into UM why censorship resistant
Speaker 1: is important, really what's going on with the information. So
Speaker 1: he really digs into UM, the censorship of the press, UM,
Speaker 1: the d platforming of all types of people on both
Speaker 1: the right and the left. When I say d platform
Speaker 1: and talking about people actually getting you kicked off of YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etcetera.
Speaker 1: And it's not just right wingers, and it's left wingers too,
Speaker 1: it's anybody who is not towing the line. And there's
Speaker 1: a lot of problems with that from the blosophy level. UM,
Speaker 1: we restrict freedom or privacy. People start to censor what
Speaker 1: they say, people start to censor what they think, and
Speaker 1: then we start losing creativity. Um, and really we should
Speaker 1: always be fostering you know, clear open communication, and so
Speaker 1: bitcoin can solve that. It's amazing and we get into
Speaker 1: that with Ben Swans. Hopefully listen to that episode and
Speaker 1: then we learned um what I call the trifecta of trends. Now,
Speaker 1: as an investor, we want to invest with the trend, right.
Speaker 1: We want to if if you're swimming, you want to
Speaker 1: swim downstream, right, or paddle downstream. If you're running, you
Speaker 1: want the wind at your back, right, We want to
Speaker 1: invest with the trend. Now. We also want to be contrarian,
Speaker 1: meaning we want to buy when nobody wants to buy.
Speaker 1: We have to sell when everybody, um wants to buy.
Speaker 1: So we have to be contrarian. However, we want to
Speaker 1: do that along with the trend. And what I'd like
Speaker 1: to do is I look. I like to look for
Speaker 1: global trends and then the trend within the trend, and
Speaker 1: the trend within the trend and find these smaller trends
Speaker 1: that have this massive steam. And we really get into
Speaker 1: three levels down and the trifecta of trends with Rafael
Speaker 1: sud from Unicorn and that we had a great interview.
Speaker 1: He you know, he has a really good background where
Speaker 1: he has been kind of at the cutting edge for
Speaker 1: a long time, including working for Microsoft in his venture
Speaker 1: in the venture fund and really looking for new companies
Speaker 1: that are pushing the boundaries. And now with his new company,
Speaker 1: he's doing the same thing and he is three levels down.
Speaker 1: What they're doing is amazing. It's it's cutting edge, and
Speaker 1: I don't want to spoil it if you haven't listened
Speaker 1: to it already, so i'd have you recommend that you
Speaker 1: do that. But um understand that the trend within the trend,
Speaker 1: within the trend is where you want to be invested.
Speaker 1: You want the wind at your back. And uh, he
Speaker 1: really shed some insights onto some new trends that are
Speaker 1: happening and are gonna are gonna see massive growth, massive
Speaker 1: growth over the next decade and as an investor of
Speaker 1: where you want to be. Now, another part about investing is,
Speaker 1: you know, more important than making money with your investments
Speaker 1: is protecting in your money not losing it. Right, you
Speaker 1: don't want to lose your money. Losing money is asymmetric.
Speaker 1: That means if I lose on investment, I have to
Speaker 1: make back a hundred percent just to get back to even.
Speaker 1: And we speak with Kanya Daniel and she is the
Speaker 1: investing diva, and she really focuses on risk management and
Speaker 1: she's she's an investor in a trader across all types
Speaker 1: of assets, not just cryptocurrencies. However, she did just recently
Speaker 1: write the book Cryptocurrency Investing for Dummies, um, and she
Speaker 1: really breaks it down, makes it super simple, and she
Speaker 1: really makes a case for why risk management and how
Speaker 1: you can achieve a risk management while you're trading across
Speaker 1: all these different markets, and so so much to learn there.
Speaker 1: Um again, right, protecting your money warm buffets. That is
Speaker 1: the best way to make money is to never lose money,
Speaker 1: which sounds kind of obvious, but it's important. And so
Speaker 1: risk management, practicing rich management, understanding US management is probably
Speaker 1: the most important thing you should do before you even
Speaker 1: start investing. You need to understand the risk. Everything has
Speaker 1: risk and risk and reward will hopefully reward. So that
Speaker 1: was really good. Hopefully you guys got ahold of that.
Speaker 1: And then we jumped into an interview that I really
Speaker 1: enjoyed we talked to Sustamy Capital, founder of Chris Kamre
Speaker 1: and um, he isn't. He's got an amazing story kind
Speaker 1: of like Kanya where she has lived in three different countries. Um.
Speaker 1: Actually a few of our guests have as well. Maybe
Speaker 1: there's a theme to that. But Chris Camre is is
Speaker 1: from has lived in a few different countries. And he
Speaker 1: was a programmer who became an attorney. And um, he
Speaker 1: was an early stage Internet pioneer and made a ton
Speaker 1: of money exiting at the top of the Internet market
Speaker 1: before it crashed. And now he's involved into blotching. But
Speaker 1: really he's like a technologist and like a futurist. And
Speaker 1: we had a really good conversation talking about, um, you know,
Speaker 1: the trends that he's seen spiller from the internet days
Speaker 1: into the blockching days, how he's approaching the market today. Um,
Speaker 1: where he sees the opportunit it needs to invest and
Speaker 1: then really where it's going and from like a really
Speaker 1: big picture, like if you want to zoom out and
Speaker 1: really look at where this market is going. Um. So man,
Speaker 1: that was that was exciting conversation. He's someone I'd love
Speaker 1: to sit down and talk to you for hours and
Speaker 1: hours more, but I was just trying to pull as
Speaker 1: much as I could out for you guys. UM. And
Speaker 1: then we we spoke to a crypto fund and this
Speaker 1: is a crypto fund with excuse me, with huge amounts
Speaker 1: of money under under and management, and um we there
Speaker 1: was a catchy that we spoke with a peer to
Speaker 1: peer capital and it was it was an awesome conversation
Speaker 1: because we really dug into how a fund that has
Speaker 1: a ton of money is is dissecting the market, how
Speaker 1: they look at different types of the market, how they
Speaker 1: want to invest in different types of the market. So
Speaker 1: UM that being like with equity investments or or liquid
Speaker 1: um investments, UM we look, you know, they also do
Speaker 1: UM like value add investments such as running nodes and
Speaker 1: things like that up staking. But then also how they
Speaker 1: break the market down into different asset classes like protocols
Speaker 1: and privacy and so forth. And there's a lot of
Speaker 1: good information that the average investor could learn from someone
Speaker 1: like catch Up who has this experience and works in
Speaker 1: a big fund. And so I think that one really
Speaker 1: really worth while and everyone should definitely listen to that.
Speaker 1: And then the last UM, the last interview that we
Speaker 1: that we had was with legal legal expert securities attorney
Speaker 1: Mark Boyan, and um Mark is extremely smart. He spent
Speaker 1: and spends all this time thinking about this, talking about this.
Speaker 1: He's traveling and speaking all the time. Those honor to
Speaker 1: have him, and we learned from him, you know, really
Speaker 1: what's going on in the securities landscape. You know, everybody
Speaker 1: talks about the one of the biggest things holding back
Speaker 1: this industry's clarity, lack of clarity. And we talked about
Speaker 1: what that clarity means, how we're going to achieve it,
Speaker 1: when we're going to achieve it. We talk about we don't.
Speaker 1: We dove into the kick kin Um law suit to
Speaker 1: understand how that may affect everything else that we provide
Speaker 1: clarity and guidance to everything else. We learned about things
Speaker 1: that the average and individual investor should be worried about
Speaker 1: looking at their individual assets, how this legal landscape could
Speaker 1: change the act individual access they may be invested into,
Speaker 1: and maybe even risks that the average individual investor might
Speaker 1: have for investing into those. But also zoomed out and
Speaker 1: looked at, you know, kind of the market as a whole,
Speaker 1: what these securities and regulations mean for the market, where
Speaker 1: it's going and so much more. And you know, investing
Speaker 1: is multi disciplinary and you have to look at it
Speaker 1: from so many angles. Going back to the risk management, right,
Speaker 1: you have to understand all the risks and of course
Speaker 1: legal regulatory risks are a really really big part of that.
Speaker 1: So that was a great conversation with Mark and UM,
Speaker 1: we're definitely gonna do some more of that. And so
Speaker 1: that's it. That's what we've learned so far in eight
Speaker 1: short guests on the market Sworft's PODC guest, we are
Speaker 1: extracting massive value for you and hopefully you're enjoying that
Speaker 1: so far. We really just want to give you that edge,
