Given where we are as an economy & in terms of financial education - having nameless, faceless folks recklessly dishing out terrible advice is incredibly damaging.

Anonymity often means a lack of accountability.

Relentless Fed stimulus has left the US dollar catching hands. Short term rates are at historic lows.

Basically it's really, really cheap to borrow right now.

How do they get the money out there? They go out & buy up US debt... $120bn every single month

When it comes to commodities, we're in the rich part of the cycle. There's a shortage of basically everything.

Lumber, coffee, olive oil, avos.

Add logistics difficulties thanks to COVID & you make supply shortages worse.

We benefit from higher priced precious metals exports.

There's a strong chance your future self will thank you for learning about DeFi & investing early in its applications

Traditional financial intermediaries have introduced so much friction, red tape & inefficiency - many existing processes are lethargic & just waiting for disruption

One criminal aspect about banks - the spread between borrowing & lending rates. Effectively using our money to make more money.

"Hey, please deposit your money at 5%, we're lending it out at 12%"

P2P lending adopting dynamically adjusted interest rates is the future.

The suffocating hierarchy of corporates enabled by endless "promotions" & hollow titles has given many people a false sense of authority & control which mean absolutely nothing outside the office

"Director of young talent management" is fancy for "I read CVs"

... yet it's easy to get drunk with that tiny piece of power & have it replace your entire existence.

Your personality revolves around a title with little power outside of this small sphere.

We all know that person at the braai who INSISTS on telling you about their corporate grade, how many deals they worked on* & the execs they run shoulders with (the name-dropper)

Corporate brainwashing at it's finest

*Worked on = sat on a conference call & took notes
