Japanese Bond is pegged to .25% interest rate because the Japanese economy can not afford the interest payments on their giant debt if rates go much higher.

So they are printing yen to buy up the bonds.

It's like LUNA printing Luna to defend the UST peg.

If this breaks, its not $60 billion like Luna/UST.

Its more like 6 TRILLION!

Asking why a token or the market dropped or rose on one day is the wrong question.

Overall market long term market direction is caused by the central bank putting in or taking out liquidity. (printing money or not)

The correct question is whether the ecosystem and value given to users of your investment will be much larger in 3-5 years. If it will be, then its a good investment. And its best to buy when people are not eurphoric and after big drops.

The reason for those drops therefore is sort of irrelevant.

Olympus Dao introduced 1000+% APY through rebasing and many projects have copied the model.

This does not affect the value of the project, but rather that you have to lock it up to maintain the relative value of your ownership.

This concept confuses a lot of people and resulted in Redacted Cartel crashing in price when they removed this rebasing function despite it not reducing the value of the project.

In this episode, I explain what the rebasing function is and how it works.

According to @NikiChristoff being disrespectful toward regulators and politicians in your tweets – i.e. calling them names or mocking them – could be a “very bad business decision.”

https://twitter.com/laurashin/status/1516801486478528513

I love Frax Finance and FPI but I broke a couple of my rules and not FPIS is down 25%

Here are the investment rules I broke:

Don't invest based on emotions and excitement or sense of urgency
DCA buy in and start with a small amount. (Air drop was enough for now)
Don’t invest until you understand deeply. (Docs on the project aren't even out yet)
Degens dumped it because there aren't good farming options. New releases usually dump at first.

Market cap was wrong. I didn't look at fully diluted value.

Do you want to find the next Apple and Google investment? A platform that grows for decades?

In this episode I put forward an argument as to why I think Ethereum could be the next evolution on these app store style models.

Ethereum is an app store with no 30% fee on transactions on apps. Anyone can list an app without approval and it's available to anyone in the world with internet.

Apps can offer digital ownership for things such as social media, games, health records, art, and money.

Financial apps build permissionless, integrate with other apps and take code from other apps.

There are other platforms, yes.

But Ethereum is the most decentralized and largest by far.

Start with the king before you try to get into upstarts.

How is this possible?

Ethereum 2.0 explains why ETH could be the best investment in the world.

If you want me to make a video about that, share and like this video, and let me know in the comments.

Not financial advice.

What I cover:

00:00 Intro

01:06 Digital ownership

VC need to know “the guy who knows the guy”. Crypto anyone can buy tokens.

VC requires big investment. In crypto to can buy any amount anytime.

VC requires lock up 5+ years. Crypto offers liquidity 24/7.

VC projects see data maybe quarterly. Crypto projects see live data posted publicly 24/7.

Buying a decentralized token project coin is similar to investing in series A round.

This post in Discord was the worst ever:

The post started with this:

Miles Deutscher from Cypto Banter tweeted over the weekend asking folks which L1s outside of top 50 have most upside potential in 5 years . . . .

Only listen to top experts. Miles is a young kid who got into crypto in 2019. Great, but he isn't a top expert!
Look at upside AND downside. Per this logic, buy a lottery ticket because "look at the upside potential"
Looking for 50 small investments? Really, are all these kids supposed to be large venture funds? Bad advice.

08:29 Consistency bias

10:21 Social activity influence

Anti-social people are good investors.

Good investors go against the grain.

Sometimes the best investments are socially difficult.

In this episode I talk about why that is and cover things you need to look out for that can influence your decisions and ideas.

What I cover:

00:00 Intro

00:22 Risks to crypto

01:20 Eth being a security

03:25 Stopping airdrops

04:11 What if Eth was a security

05:18 Michael Saylor's comments

07:27 Collin Belton's SEC comments

09:15 Fear around crypto

10:28 If they do attack Ethereum

11:08 Outro

There is a risk to all crypto projects that the government will attack it. To apply that risk only to ETH is silly.

The SEC has (and continues to) engaged in campaigns of "asking" projects for "voluntary" info disclosures, particularly DeFi projects under the guise of "wanting to understand more," only to subsequently hint that there may be illegal activity they refuse to identify.

Michael Saylor @saylor·Oct 20, 2020: "Everyone in the crypto industry would benefit if analysts segmented the market into crypto-assets (e.g. #Bitcoin), crypto-applications (e.g. Ethereum), & crypto-currencies (e.g. Tether), and calculated three different dominance metrics."

They will not declare it a security because it reveals SEC is a scam and will create an uproar that they want to avoid.

They leave this out there to hurt small investors who keep bugging me about this.

05:10 Why you don't want it to be easy

06:42 The difference between easy and easy

07:04 Outro

Is buying crypto actually hard?

In 2020 people said "Getting ETH is too hard on Coinbase."

It's not hard. It requires desire and motivation.

Now they say its "too hard" to get wallet.

Inspired by this comment:

How long before the average person will be able to use Uniswap just like they use/log on to Capitol One or Bank of America?

When it 100% easy and automatic, there is zero profit it in.

Building a web page in 90's wasn't automatic and got lots of free traffic.

Now its automatic and instant and there is no value in it.

But in the end, you have to find your own formula that works for you.

Warren Buffet quote:

Investment success isn't produced by arcane formulae, computer programs or price signals. Rather an investor succeeds by coupling good business judgment with an ability to insulate his thoughts and behavior from the super-contagious emotions that swirl about the marketplace.

Do you know both the upside and downside to Ethereum? Or any other coin you are investing in?

Many people like to only look at the upside (or downside), but the reality is you should understand both sides of the story.

If an L1 can infinitely scale or doesn’t need L2 for long time, they could gain market share from Ethereum long term.

My theory is there will be the need for multiple chains.

However, Ethereum will be the leader.

In my discord (link below) I got asked this question:

Dave, you obviously were early to the internet. Then early again with crypto. How did you know these were going to be big things? Maybe you can do a video telling us the story on how you discovered the internet and get involved in it. And the same with crypto.

When it comes to spotting trends, it's important to have an overall philosophy.

The one philosophy that has paid me dividends has been, if there are two competing systems, the more decentralised one will usually grow faster and be adopted more.

I don't try to make predictions. Instead I look for evidence.

When I got on the internet, I looked for the store that had the most sales.

Usually you can tell how good something is by how successfully it launches.

I pay attention to growth rate and then project if this rate of growth would continue.

Portfolio recommendations, updates and where to put your money!

No matter what I predict (or anyone else), you want your portfolio set up so that if the market goes up you make a lot of money but if it goes down you are in a position to buy stuff cheap.

Recommendations:

Cash 20-30%: Most people think that's insane, but we aren't most people! This is liquid money that won't go down.

Alternatively, you can look into Gemini exchange (GUSD) and earn 8% interest.

Stablecoins: DAI 50%, USDC 25%, RAI 10%, Frax 10%
Ethereum 10%

Layer 2's and new layer 1's are higher risk and I'm not interested in them right now. I recommend being very careful if you want to get into them. But maybe they will be attractive to me someday.

Other risk tokens 10%: Looking for things with good fundamentals. Uniswap, MKR, FXS, Aave, Comp
Safe and boring:

Real estate - 10-20%

BRK.B 5-10%

Risk Stocks: counter trend

ARKG

Commodities (RIO, GOLD)

TSLA?

I forgot to mention International stock ETF's because it got cut off on my printer!

Many products these days now offer optional insurance.

Does it make sense to buy the insurance?

Well that's up to you as an individual, however, I have decided to always decline insurance.

My logic is that in the long run after many years, I'm going to come out ahead.

Insurance was invented in the first place to cover catastrophic loss.

Plus, it's often difficult to recover money from claims.

I never buy insurance unless required by law and then I try to spend the least amount as possible.

Nexus Mutual provides cover against smart contract failure & exchange hacks.

https://nexusmutual.io/

When it comes to crypto related insurance, I take the stance that I take with insurance in general.

That's not to say it's not worth it.

It depends how you are investing, however, it's very important to study the insurance deeply which I haven't done.

As an example, if you want to put a huge amount into the Anchor protocol and insure it, you need to:

Study the insurance contract that protects it closely
Study Nexus Mutual closely
Study the Anchor protocol closely

I like to study one thing, get a deep understanding on it and then make investment decisions.

RAI is volatile for a stable coin.

https://stats.reflexer.finance/

You want to buy RAI when it is below the target price.

Current Rai redemption price is $3.0278 (target price) and $3.0585.

Aave deposit interest was 20% a long time ago and then sat at 2% for a while. Then last week it was 20% again and now down to 8%.

RAI is safe and that interest is nice long term!

RAI in Aave long term looks good.

The interest rate spikes when the price spikes.

It is safe because it's over collateralize with ETH

If you have been following me for a while, you might know that I think trading is completely stupid in the short term.

If you have the urge to trade and find schemes you are an entrepreneur.

Learning by doing is entrepreneurial and not for investing.

As an entrepreneur you should use this energy to start a business.

Investing is about picking something that is great and holding that over the longer term.

Investing gains take 3-5 years. That is too long for learning from doing.

The richest people in the world didn't get there from trading. Many of them are entrepreneurs or long term investors.

Learn from smart people what is going on and what works and then hold for long term.

Scammers are everywhere.

Often they copy my profile, pretending to be me or someone else.

They do this to gain trust before trying to somehow get money.

Usually there will be a slight difference in the name.

I will never message you with an idea or an opportunity.

When I get these calls or messages, I sometimes like to have a little fun with it.

The only place to get my ideas and opportunities will be via this Youtube channel and podcast.

How much money do you have that is investable that you don't need for 3-5 years?

It's not about picking one investment, it's about constructing a portfolio, making a plan and being prepared for the future.

What do you already own that you can invest?

Do you have liquid safe cash and risk assets already?

If you have any debt (such as credit card debt), it's important to pay it off.

Another thing to consider is your income and how often you will be in possession of money you can invest.

As always this is not financial advice.

I have been talking about Uniswap for a while now - in fact, I was an early user and got in early.

I still like it because it has high levels of usage is and currently the market share leader.

Gary Gensler who I refer to as Goldman Gary in the video, is risky to Uniswap and Crypto because of the decisions he is making and may make in the future as the Chairman of the SEC.

A lot of liquidity providers are not making money on Uniswap which is an issue.

Everything I can see tells me that Uniswap is still good - but I could be wrong. This is not financial advice.

Originally I recommended the Luna Tera network as a good place to experiment while fees on Ethereum were high.

I no longer recommend that right now because of where it sits on the risk curve.

However, if it does survive this bear market, that would be an indicator to me that it is a strong long term play.

To me the market right now is about surviving and not going for huge gains. I am trying to be conservative and boring.

It's all about managing risks and there are a lot of complexities.

I'm not trying to make predictions, but rather play it safe, waiting for the dust to settle and then see who the winners are.

Remember you want to be able to stay in the game.

People think it's easy to predict the top and bottom of the markets.

They have the idea that they are going to 'sell at the top', yet it's very unlikely they will.

I made this tweet on Feb 14, 2021 https://twitter.com/DaveLevine0com/status/1361011208870973441

where I advised to "start dollar cost average selling after ETH +$3K".

By following this plan you may have been able to dollar cost average out at a price higher than the market is today.

It's better to be early with a plan than to be late with no plan.

Timing is important and it matters.

People underestimate the value of sleep.

I estimate that working on something for 10 minutes a day for 6 days is better than working on something for 1 hour.

This is because your brain can process what you have learnt.

The same theory applies to learning about crypto.

It's better to be consistent in little bursts over time than to try to do everything at once.

You may have heard that the higher this risk, the higher the reward.

Well this works both ways.

By having a long term view, it can reduce some of the risk - especially as crypto is known to be volatile in the short term.

That is if you make right right investments.

Personally, I believe there are two coins that stands out above all others.

That is because they have been tested over time. Unlike some of these newer coins.

If you have been watching my stuff for a while now you might already know what they are.

I reveal that exact coins in this video.

Are you new to crypto? Do you have a small portfolio or are you a 'no-coiner'?

A no-coiner is someone who has no cryptocurrency and believes that cryptocurrency will fail.

In this video I cover what I would do if you are a no-coiner or have little of your net worth in crypto.

The current software that the banks currently use is old.

This is about investing in a future financial system. Think of it like an upgrade.

But with that in mind, it would be bad advice to tell you to invest in just any coin out there.

In fact, if you blindly invest in the next meme coin or one your friend recommends, there is a good chance you will be in a worse off position.

That is why, my advice is to keep it simple and begin by investing in the best coins.

What are the best crypto coins to invest in?

Watch this video to find out.

P.S. This is not financial advice.
