This episode is jam-packed with leading-edge, financial wisdom for our unfolding new world, from understanding wise investments such as Bitcoin, to challenging the false perceptions of our economy created by Wall Street and other conventional “authorities.” Mark Yegge, a wealth architect, fund manager, author and mentor, joins co-hosts Jim Gale and Matthew Britt to help us unpack many ways to increase our wealth through investing wisely. An advocate of Bitcoin, Mark outlines in great detail what Bitcoin is, in terms that can be more easily understood by the layperson, and why it’s such an important investment to consider. He also talks about SOLUTIONS for investing and that “it all starts with the mindset, you need rules.” He has a system which he calls “The Cash Flow Machine” (60 rules- “a decision tree”). The most important thing is to learn these rules to prevent yourself from making emotional decisions. A few tidbits he outlines, based on an older book he loves, Beat the Market (https://www.amazon.com/Beat-Market-Scientific-Stock-System/dp/0394424395),  by Edward Thorpe: Recognize patterns Take the emotions out of the process Follow logic And follow patterns in a way that help you have a yield ABOUT INVESTING:Mark: “80 percent of the time, the people buying the options lose their money, 80 percent of the time because 80 percent of the options expire worthless.  I didn’t say 100, I said 80…so it’s just a probability basis…Remember when you buy a stock, you have a 50 percent chance of being right, and 50 percent chance of being wrong. If you can inch that up towards 80 percent that’s not a 2 percent edge, that’s a big edge. And that’s the key: You get the probabilities in your favor, and you keep doing it over and over again.” The “dumbing down” of education: Matthew: References a book he loves, The Weapons of Mass Instruction, by John Taylor Gatto “We have become very good at trusting the experts. We have lost the ability to logically take in information, sit with it, and seek other sources of information.” “Today, we’re in this F-in mess where we are about to have a dollar collapse, a food system collapse, a medical system collapse…name your system, they’re close to collapsing…we’ve become so entrenched in the ‘trusty experts’ mentality and to do what you’re told.” HOW CAN OUR AUDIENCE START GATHERING BETTER KNOWLEDGE? Mark: “We don’t teach what we need to know about life in our schools.  We  teach a bunch of bullshit. I know more about Romeo and Juliet than I know about paying my taxes.” Check out: https://go.destinycreation.com “You can start to get the knowledge of what you need to be a critical thinker, and all of that leads to a freedom mindset.  And why aren’t we doing that more, because that one guy out of a thousand is controlling the narrative.” FOOD AS INVESTMENT–To the NEW: Jim: Adds his perspective on the return of investment (ROI) of seeds, which multiply, with little maintenance: “The return on investment of nature is infinite.” Someone asked Jim: “When will we know that you have won the war?” Jim:  “That’s easy.  When they’re no longer spraying aluminum oxide and poisons in our air. When they're no longer putting fluoride which is a toxic chemical in our water, when they’re no longer put glyphosate in our living soil, THE SOIL BEING THE IMMUNE SYSTEM OF THE EARTH..and they're killing all the microbiome in the soil by just nuking it. It’s insane.” Jim ends this podcast, alluding to his new food investment called “Yield in Sprouts,” a digital asset that includes food growers and the community.
