Recently, at the Woodstock of Capitalism, Warren Buffett and his elder sidekick Charles Munger gathered to dish dirt, talk #investing, and dispense folksy aphorisms at the Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting.The Statler-and-Wardorf-type couple’s comments about #cryptocurrency were one of the most referenced quotes of the media cycle, at least in my little circle of cryptoscenti, during the three day orgy of discounted shopping, investor presentations, interviews, a 5K, and most importantly… STEAK!!!Qz reported the gist of the matter in a piece they published on May 5. Buffett warned,“Cryptocurrencies will come to bad endings,”while Munger claimed,“To me, it’s just dementia. It’s like somebody else is trading turds and you decide you can’t be left out.”Buffet and Munger’s view looks an awful lot (...)

Photo by Rick Tap on UnsplashThis is a legit question to ask for both investors and freelancers.When you examine Upwork’s NASDAQ performance, you see something that’s called the “stock market roller coaster.” If it’s any comfort to you this is a “natural” Wall Street phenomenon. The stock prices go up and down all the time. They fluctuate by default.NASDAQ: UPWKNow, the trouble is if these fluctuations get carried away. So, you eventually have huge differences between high and low price values. If you are an investor who either already owns the Upwork shares or plans to buy them at some point, these ups and downs can be bad for your health. Unfortunately, there’s not much you can do about it or is it?Upwork isn’t the first freelance platform that went public. Freelancer dot com has been on this (...)

Community and Capitalism — Publicly Traded PersonI am James Gallagher, a Founder, and Pioneer who is passionate about capitalism, startups, and technology.I am James Gallagher, and I am your latest investment. Last month I was listening to an episode of Village Stories by Village Global, where Erik Torenberg interviewed Mike Merrill, the world’s first publicly traded person. Mike sells shares in himself to the public and allows them to weigh in on influential decisions in his life, holding the mantra of “Community Through Capitalism” close in his work.This prompted me to think about the potential of capitalism and how it relates to human ambition. I am offering shares in myself in exchange for the ability to vote on decisions in my life. I am giving the crowd the authority to make decisions (...)

As we have just started 2019, ? we have another perfect opportunity to review our lives, opportunities, values, and expectations.Source: ▻https://dilbert.com/strip/2018-12-31Despite being a tech addict (DevOps, Blockchain), my path presented me several ways of approaching life and the knowledge I have gained. At some point, I noticed that there is something that professors at my university are not teaching that would turn us into more independent persons. Money. In particular, I became very interested in the investments world, as it allows you to generate money using the money. If you don’t invest your money, it will never increase. You will likely spend, give it away or save it (and possibly spend it in a short-term wish). Now, you could be asking yourself:Why should we care about (...)

In 1929 the Great Depression started in the United States. The economic depression lasted until 1933, and it is marked as the longest, most profound and most widespread financial crisis of the 20th century. During this period nearly 11,000 banks failed, the unemployment rate only in the US rose above 25%. After that, governments across the world set up new laws to prevent such a crisis again. Nevertheless, there were at least two major crises across the globe after the Great Depression. And even though it was believed that the financial sector would learn from its mistakes, 2007 came and the most recent global financial crisis hit the world.The global financial crisis was primarily caused by a lack of transparency and deregulation in the financial industry. That allowed banks to engage (...)
