• EC10

@DCX_EC10 is a prime example, losing 52% of its value since May 7th.

Was:R131
Now:R63

You May still be up, yes. But is the fall finished? Probably not.

I’d never try catch a falling knife. Buy winners in an uptrend and don’t dollar cost average into losers. Image
• Tips

- The trend is your friend, the trend is down and not up.

- Dollar cost average in, in uptrends.

- Don’t add to losers- you’ll get burnt

- Protect gains in volatile assets

- Cut losses early
(A 50% loss now needs a 100% gain)

Top 10 holdings of @DCX_EC10 by weighting

You could construct your own portfolio by owning the crypto directly, and no need to pay a fee on that.

If you have 10k to invest, break it up like the professionals. Same applies to ETF’s.

Protecting Your Home

• Home Insurance
• Property Prices
• Market Growth
• Cost of goods
• Risks

(Thread)👇🏽
• Home Insurance

also known as building insurance, which covers the building structure of a home against accidental loss or damage caused by fire, theft, or other natural disasters.

Let’s take a look on how to do this correctly so you can save some money. 👇🏽
• Property prices

Where do prices go from here?
⬇️ or ⬆️

My guess would be ⬇️

Property prices come down while the costs to build escalate upwards

Costs associated with materials could easily rise from here, especially with supply chain issues

Why is this even important?

• Interest Rates
• Inflation

(Short thread ) 👇🏽 Image
• Introduction

Money loses value over time, so the goal is to protect your money against inflation, right?

Meaning - making your money grow faster than the rate of inflation.

If you don’t know what I mean, check this thread out before we start👇🏽
• Interest rates

Interest rates are a monetary tool used by central banks.

It affects:

• Cost of borrowing
• Return on savings

Interest rates up = rewards savers.

How To Protect Wealth

“Breakdown of society”

• Currency
• Store of Value
• Commodities
• Economic output
• Protecting yourself.

Economic Siege is under way

(Thread) 👇🏽 Image
• Currency (1)

How do we derive value from currency?

We collectively agree that it is accepted because it is backed by sovereignty.

If I sell lemonade I will accept paper money(ZAR) because I know someone else will accept it from me too.

(Call it blind faith) Image
• Currency (2)

If I didn't know of someone else who would accept it, then I wouldn’t sell my lemonade in Rand, because where is the value?

If no one was accepting Rand, and I decided to accept (R) for my lemonade, my productivity would effectively be stolen, no?
