Production Capital vs Financial Capital

One of the biggest things I have noticed at conferences lately is that everyone is relating to crypto as if it’s a stock. It’s not, because coins/tokens have software related to them. The actual assets you’re trading belong to a blockchain; the tokens are interactive, providing functions and services. A crypto asset isn’t just a ticker symbol.

Surprise! Your Clients Lost More Money in Bonds Last Year Than They Did in Bitcoin

You had a choice last year to follow, or ignore, my advice. As 2022 began, I recommended that you get out of the bond market (moving that money to cash or equivalents) and place 1% of your client portfolios into bitcoin. How’d my advice work out? Well, I was certainly right about the bond market: it fell 13% last year, its biggest loss ever. But bitcoin fell 77% from its November 2021 high! Ugh.

Ric Edelman’s Statement on FTX

2022-12-19T00:57:09-05:00

I remain optimistic for the future of crypto, despite the FTX debacle. In fact, saying you are not bullish on crypto because of FTX is like saying you are not bullish on stocks because of Bernie Madoff. FTX has nothing to do with blockchain or digital assets, any more than Madoff had anything to do with the stock market. Madoff was just another con artist who led a massive fraud. And it certainly appears that Sam Bankman-Fried is also a con artist who led a massive fraud. Madoff used the stock market to perpetrate his cons; SBF used crypto.
