Bitcoin is going to, in a constructive way, infect everybody’s minds

The consumer price index (CPI) is a poor inflation metric. The goods in it are picked so that it cannot indicate any inflation and thus permit money printing to go unchecked. Inflation is the rate of price appreciation in a basket of goods, services or assets that you want to acquire in the future. For example, if you want to live with your parents in the basement of their house, you don’t need a house or beachfront property and don’t intend to pay for electricity or utilities. For you, inflation will be the cost of beer, Netflix, youtube. The things you have to pay for is inflation to you.

Defining inflation

Three scenarios for CEOs:<ol><li>In a deflationary currency environment, the prices of goods and services will decline, and the currency will appreciate. If I keep the money and wait, the value of my money will accrete. </li><li>If monetary expansion equals economic growth, e.g., banks print 2% more currency, and the economy grows 2%, then treasury will remain stable.</li><li>In a stagnant economy, the currency can rise to 5% a year. But if the economy grows less, the prices appreciate for anything scarce like an original Picasso, but will not appreciate for mass-produced goods/services, such as copies of a Picasso.</li></ol>

Preserving the value of treasury over time

Technology companies take products and services and turn them into information networks. As a result, whatever they touch becomes deflationary while they become billion-dollar companies in the process. For example, Google dematerialised every library and every piece for every book, information, video, and music. Everything that Google, Apple, Facebook or Amazon touched became deflationary. The variable cost of sending a Netflix movie to a million people is the cost of electricity.

Technology turns products into energy

When you compare Bitcoin to other assets, Bitcoin is a scarce piece of property.  Bitcoin is liquid, global, fungible, there’s no property tax on it, no state taxing. It’s hard to produce Bitcoins.

Bitcoin as a scarce asset

Monetary expansion was 24% in 2020, with a forecast of 10% to 15% for the next five years. Under 15% annual money supply expansion, if a company makes a 5% margin on its business, it will lose 10% of its value every year. That means in four years, half of its wealth will be destroyed.If you want to preserve your wealth, you have to beat the hurdle rate (the minimum rate of return on investment) and risk premium.

Economic calculation

The main store of value buckets are fiat instruments, such as bonds, stocks and commercial real estate. For bonds: Investors will have to beat the hurdle rate or drop interest rates.For commercial real estate: Rent has to keep up with the hurdle rate.

Store of value buckets

The Road to Serfdom consists of working exponentially harder in order to earn a currency growing exponentially weaker

When we raise the hurdle rate, individuals have to work harder or take more risks. They have to compete against big tech companies that have money and power, resulting in many small businesses getting crushed. To preserve value, companies will either have to leverage up to buy back stock or perform acquisitions. But integrating two companies has a 90% failure rate. Worse is that companies borrow money to buy another company. That is a road to ruin.

The road to ruin

Cash is a liability, not an asset. Therefore, every fiat instrument based on cash should be discounted at 15% per year, such as stocks, bonds, and real estate. While Bitcoin is volatile short-term, it is always worth more over five years. If you generate cash flows in fiat currency that are growing slower than the hurdle rate, you can fix the problem by putting your cash into Bitcoin. Conservative bitcoin growth is estimated at 20% per year; consequently, the yearly income will surpass the company value.

Bitcoin as a solution

Bitcoin is a growing asset. It’s also the world’s first engineered monetary network that is growing faster than 100%. Corporations can add their balance sheets or PnL into this monetary network. Square and PayPal compete against both big tech companies and banks. They offer their customers a savings account in Bitcoin that accretes 100% per year tax-free. (Compare that with a bond that offers a 10% taxable return.) To keep up with competition, Apple or Goole will have to offer Bitcoin as that is what people want.

Big tech adopting Bitcoin

To stay competitive, the mutual fund business needs to build bitcoin into their product offering. Similarly, traditional banks have to build bitcoin into their business, such as trading, banking, lending, yield, custody, etc. People will know that public companies can buy bitcoin and then realise they can use debt to buy it. While retirement and investment funds can’t buy bitcoin directly, they can buy publicly traded stocks and look for companies with bitcoin exposure.

BTC005: Bitcoin & Michael Saylor - A Masterclass in Economic Calculation (Bitcoin Podcast)

A Masterclass in Economic Calculation (Bitcoin Podcast)

The author Radhakrishnan Pillai has excellent research on Chanakya's Arthshaastra, the book of economics and management from 4th century B.C.

Portfolio

Becoming rich may be a desire as living poor is not a choice but circumstances. Gone are days when only kings and ministers can become rich, today with the knowledge and right mentorship, anyone can fulfill their dream of becoming rich.

Introduction

Chanakya, also known as Vishnugupta or Kautilya was known as a strategic, diplomat, politician, economist and a sharp thinker. His ideas of waelth and management is immortal.

The king Chandragupta was a student of Chanakya. Although he came from lower-cast village of that time, with right training from Chanaya, he became a worthy king. Alexander the great was also defeated against Chanakya's intellect and couldn't extend their empire to India.

Chanakya's Arthshaastra, written 2400 years ago, composed of 6000 sutras Or aphorisms, was based on economic policy, political governance and military strategy. It talked about wealth identification, wealth creation, wealth management and wealth distribution.

The method of aanvikshiki is the science and art of thinking. In Sanskrit, anu means atom or the smallest particle and ikshiki means one who wants to know. Chanakya explained aanvikshiki in Arthshaastra as constituents of Sankhya (concept of Shiva and Shakti and relating to numbers or mathematical thinking), Yoga (ability to keep our mind steady and firm under stress), Lokayata (worldview of people, who believes in data and the reality). In essence, clear thinking is necessary to earn money and run a business.

Understanding Aanvikshiki

One can only earn big money through right and legal process. Who become rich through shortcuts are bound to have troubles in the long run. The Vedas has guided us about the ethics and dilemmas of good and bad. It is better to ask the experts of the field before taking such ethical decisions. Studying the business plan by experts, government policies, annual budgets of the government, SWOT (strength, weakness, opportunity, threat) analysis etc can help. The real principle of wealth is to give

Thinking Your Way to Prosperity

A steady mind is required to have better clarity in thinking. You become whatever you think. Therefore, think before you act. Also, be mindful of your duties and respectful of laws of the land.

There exists common patterns that we can learn from wealthy people to become rich. They love their work, committed to it and don't show off stuffs to look rich, instead they are rich. They do social work, charity and contribute to the welfare of the people. There are 4 stages of wealth that have been observed for long time

Stages Of Wealth

Wealth identification : Idea + application = money. What is the one thing with which you can make money? Identify your natural talents and the skills that you can gain from practice. Wealth creation : talent + hard work + being active + intellectual property rights and patentWealth management : saving + invest, also investment > saving. Wealth distribution : for social norm among rich, for the love of donating and helping the poor.

... 

Keeping tracks of money coming and going out is very important. There are various accounting systems that one can follow. The financial health depends on this accounting. Few examples of accounting systems are the balance sheet and profit-and-loss (P&L) statements, Enterprise resource planning (ERP) etc. One should never be dependent on any one source of income. Defining accounting requirements and reviewing the accounts are important. This can be done from daily to yearly basis.

Accounting System

It is mandatory to have a mentor for teaching you the methods and the way towards your goal. Your mentor should be himself expert in your field, here the finance and management, should be rich enough, genuine background, integrity towards moral values. Chanakya says it is better to have upto third opinion from 3 different experts but not more than them, non-expert opinions should be avoided. Age and maturity are not synonymous. Maturity comes from knowledge and deep thinking.

Your Richness Guru

Three principles of becoming rich:1. Be trustworthy,2. Don't break promises, 3. Repay any debts or loans with interest and when giving money, don't belittle them for taking money from you.Chanakya also mentioned about partnering with other firms to do a part of the business which otherwise takes lot of effort and time. ﻿

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life- think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscle, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.

Generalizing all the rich people as selfish or demeaning towards everyone won't help you becoming rich. You have to identify the good ones among them, follow their footprint and learn from them. The rich leaders stands out among the rich individuals and they can make people around them rich as well. The rich leaders started alone, didn't give up to the atrocities and in the path of his glory, he picked everyone around him rise up the ladde

Becoming A Rich Leader

Think from different dimensions<ol><li class="ql-align-justify">Directly seeing and understanding: just looking around for opportunity</li><li class="ql-align-justify">The unseen: by consulting with experts and listening to their ideas</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Inference: conclusion from logical thinking of association, intuition</li></ol>Do research on trends. Think deep and wide, analyse, infer, develop own insight and foresight.

Thinking Makes A Person A Leader

Once a businessman met Chanakya when he was working under a lamp. After finishing his work, he turned off that lamp and lit another one to discuss with the businessman. When asked why he didn't use the same lamp, Chanakya said that the first lamp was given to him for his official work only and the second one was his personal. He never mixed up his official belonging to personal benefits. He taught us that self regulation is more important than being regulated by the government, you can cheat the world, but you can not cheat yourself.

Teaching By Example

Chanakya emphasized on filling the treasury before serving the country. The food for the labourers and the armies for their work should not be exhausted. He made sure the corrupt officials get punished and the genuine and devoted workers get rewards and promotions. Chanakya made regulations for textile industries to give economic freedom and financial empowerment to women. He personally interrogated any problems women in these days faced and took appropy actions against atrocities. "Empower a woman and you can be sure her family will be empowered too."

Wealth should free us from worldly challenges. Instead, most of the time, wealth and money get us more and more entangled in them. Money should give us not just comforts, but dignity to ourselves and to others. Kosha Or treasury is the fund that is required to run the state. It is extremely important to keep our financial situation strong and steady. The 4 steps in finance in a project are creation, completion, maintenance and sustainability.

The Importance Of Kosha

The author had listed few questions to develop one's financial status. <ol><li>What is your current financial status? </li><li>What are your financial goals? </li><li>Who are your financial mentors and gurus? </li><li>What modern knowledge of finance do you lack? </li><li>Why do you want to become rich? </li><li>What is stopping you from becoming rich? </li><li>What will you do with all the extra wealth you have? </li><li>What is your idea of spirituality and wealth? </li><li>If you were to decide the financial policies of the country, what would you suggest? </li><li>What would you like to teach others about wealth and money</li></ol>

Questions To Contempl

The book has changed and rewrite my thinking about becoming rich and its emphasis on thinking itself make me share the knowledge of the book. 

Chanakya's Arthashastra is an unrivalled political treatise that has been used by scholars, academics and leaders across the world. In Chanakya and the Art of Getting Rich, Radhakrishnan Pillai brings out the inherent lessons from Arthashastra to present a strategic and practical way of wealth creation. This is a holistic study, written for anyone and everyone.

Not everyone in a company wants to become a manager. Or has the skills to do so. So instead of forcing people into a management position to advance their career a company could offer 2 promotion tracks:One for Individual Contributors & another for People Managers, with equivalent pay, benefits, & seniority at each level, allowing ppl to advance w/out becoming managers.

Persicaria (syn Polygonum) Tinctorium popularly known as Japanese Indigo is a gorgeous flowering plant despite being part of the taxonomic family with the unfortunate name “buckwheat” and “knotweed.” It is native to Eastern Europe and Asia. Distinctive in color, this beautiful botanical has long been regarded for its antibacterial and skin soothing properties.

Persicaria(syn Polygonum) Tinctorium a.k.a. Japanese Indigo

The Indigo botanical stubbornly draws in all of the nutrients in the soil around it as it matures, making it difficult to grow as it eventually saps the soil of nutrients.Tatcha's natural Japanese Indigo comes from a family-run farm on the banks of the Yoshino River, which floods annually to replenish the soil with vital nutrients and minerals.Though it has been used for centuries, traditional knowledge on the uses of Japanese Indigo was put aside with the advent of synthetic dyes.

Growing Japanese Indigo

Indigo dyeing known as aizome dates back to the Edo period (1603-1868), when silk and the brighter colors were reserved for the higher social classes leaving the commoners with cotton and darker colors like indigo. Aijiro indigo is the lightest shade closest to white, while noukon indigo is the darkest shade closest to black. Tokyo Skytree's body is not white. Its ajiro indigo.

The Japanese Indigo as Colorant

By the 17th century, Indigo had become widely regarded not just for its robust color, but also for its medicinal properties that transcend mere ointments and oral medication having antibacterial, odor-preventing and insect-repellent properties. Samurais wore cotton cloth, dyed brilliant blue with Japanese Indigo, underneath their armor to heal injuries from combat and prevent infection. Traditional Japanese firefighters followed suit, using indigo-dyed cloth to protect and heal burns.Today, the hue is often referred to as “Samurai Blue.”

The Japanese Indigo As a Natural Antibacterial

Nowadays, it is presented to newborns who have sensitive skin in the form of an indigo-dyed blanket — a testament to its protective qualities.

Indigo is as an antibacterial known to strengthen the immune system and fight common colds when ingested. It can be extracted by powdering the plant's root, flower and even seeds. Superfood indigo is consumed in teas, salts, and even raw powdered indigo sprinkled on sweets, spices, and smoothies.

The Japanese Indigo As An Oral Medicine

Literally soaked into the fabric of Japan’s cultural history, the art of indigo dyeing continues to have a deep influence and importance on fashion today. New York City-based artist Yuh Okano rose to international attention during the late 1990s when her uncanny ability to craft unique pieces of shibori dyed fabric captured the attention Donna Karan (of DKNY) and Martha Stewart. The beauty and durability of Japanese indigo dye has made it inextricably linked to products from acclaimed Japanese denim to contemporary fashion.

The Japanese Indigo in Fashion

Shibori is simply the Japanese word 絞り, which translates as to wring or squeeze. To put it in the crudest terms, you could describe shibori as the traditional, Japanese incarnation of tie-dye, only far more intricate and detailed; uses only 1 color; and predates the 1960s flower power era by over 1000 years, and continues to be a vital practise today.Originating in China, shibori dyeing really gained mainstream traction in Japan during the Edo Period but the earliest examples of shibori textiles date all the way back to the 8th century.

Shibori

Fashion designers and jean makers also love indigo dye because unlike cheaply produced chemical dyes, this natural plant dye gets better with age. Instead of fading out to a tired, worn-out look, indigo’s organic qualities mean that it ages like leather.Kojima, a town in Okayama, is home to Jeans Street, a street dedicated entirely to what else --jeans! Its road is dyed in indigo and lined with red and white selvedge lines-- tribute to kojima's iconic indigo-dyed denim and the more than 30 jeans shops some of which are highly regarded brands in the world and loved by celebrities like Beyonce.

The Japanese Indigo As A AS A Denim Dye That Dye That Fortifies

Asian countries like like China, Japan, and Thailand, have been using this plant as a remedy for external and internal ailments.Japanese Indigo combined with other herbs is known to calm and comfort irritated skin. For Tatcha founder Vicky Tsai, the uncomfortableness of living with eczema is what inspired their award winning Indigo line. Japanese indigo is described in Tatcha's beauty bible as a treatment for itchy, irritated skin whose use stretches back centuries.

The Japanese Indigo For Skincare

That's why its not surprising that it's now being touted as a psoriasis treatment: High in tryptanthrin, a nitrogen-rich compound, Japanese Indigo flushes away all toxins and restores balance to the skin. Indirubin another compound derived from its leaves, diminishes and soothes red, dry patches and inflammation while simultaneously strengthening the skin’s natural barrier to boost resilience.As the American Academy of Dermatology reported those with sensitive skin and conditions like psoriasis could benefit and perhaps could see better results using topical indigo than with topical steroids.

The Japanese Indigo As A Psoriasis Treatment

With Tatcha's newly released product that uses Japanese Indigo as its main ingredient, other skincare brands will definitely follow suit.

Tatcha's Indigo Overnight Repair Serum in Cream Treatment is a daily treatment for eczema, psoriasis, and acne prone skin. Read about the brand's soothing, calming product here.

<ul><li>Decentralized finance can cut the middleman out of traditional financial transactions, but it is in its infancy and carries additional risks. </li><li>Terra, Aave, Chainlink, and Clover Finance are good coins to watch. </li> </ul>

It's a DeFi ecosystem that's underpinned by algorithmic stablecoins. Terra's Chai payment platform is accepted by thousands of merchants in Korea and its Anchor savings platform is proving popular.A stablecoin's value is pegged to a non-crypto commodity like gold or a fiat currency like the U.S. dollar. And unlike a fiat-backed stablecoin which is backed 1:1 by a traditional currency, an algorithmic stablecoin keeps its peg by using a smart contract to issue or buy coins. Terra does this using the LUNA token to increase or reduce the supply.

1. Terra (LUNA)

It is a decentralized lending platform where people can borrow, lend, and earn interest on their crypto assets. It's similar to what a traditional bank does with money you deposit, but since there's no middleman, you earn a higher percentage of the loan interest.Aave remains top of DeFi Llama's list of lenders in terms of total value locked. It upgraded to Aave v2 at the end of 2020 and now operates on <a href="https://www.fool.com/the-ascent/cryptocurrency/best-place-buy-ethereum/">Ethereum (ETH) </a>, Avalanche (AVAX), and Polygon (MATIC) networks -- which means users don't have to pay Ethereum's huge gas fees for each transaction.

2. Aave (AAVE)

To understand Chainlink, we need to know about oracles and smart contracts. <a href="https://www.fool.com/the-ascent/cryptocurrency/articles/6-top-cryptocurrencies-with-smart-contracts/">Smart contracts </a>are tiny pieces of code that execute automatically when in certain circumstances. Oracles collect the data that feeds smart contracts -- without them, the smart contract wouldn't know when it should trigger. And Chainlink is the market leader in oracles.Many leading DeFi platforms use Chainlink's oracle data. Even though several well-known analysts have pointed to its potential, LINK only gained about 70% in 2021. That's a solid increase but not as much as many others.

3. Chainlink (LINK)

Clover is all about interoperability. As various Ethereum alternatives take market share, it becomes more important for them to communicate with each other. Clover's blockchain can support applications and assets from other top networks, including Ethereum, <a href="https://www.fool.com/the-ascent/cryptocurrency/articles/5-solana-predictions-for-2022/">Solana (SOL) </a>and Binance Smart Chain.It also aims to solve another common DeFi problem: Accessibility. Right now, it is hard for new investors to use many of the DeFi products on the market -- they are not easy to understand, transaction fees can be prohibitive, and the risks are difficult to evaluate.

4. Clover Finance (CLV)

The best budget system depends on what you want to do, such as limiting spending, paying debt, or building savings. Once you are clear about what you hope to accomplish, pick a budget option that meets those needs.

Figure out your needs

This system splits your income into three categories: <ol><li>50% goes to necessities</li><li>30% to wants</li><li>20% to savings and debt repayment</li></ol> This method gives you room to pay down debt and save for future expenses.

The 50/30/20 budget system

This method helps you curb your spending or stay out of debt when you don't want to track every purchase. <ol><li>Set a limit for each expense category, like groceries.</li><li>Fill marked envelopes with the allotted cash and use only that money for purchases.</li><li>When the envelope is empty, you can't spend more.</li></ol> The Goodbudget app is based on the envelope system for those who don't want to work with envelopes.

The envelope system

This method prioritises savings before immediate expenses. Decide how much to put towards your monthly savings goals like retirement and an emergency fund, then use what is left.

Pay yourself first

This method makes monitoring your spending clear. Take your monthly income and deliberately use every dollar until zero dollars are left. Log every expense to ensure you're on budget. Budget apps such as YNAB and EveryDollar can be helpful.

The zero-based budget

Personal finance software that lets you automate savings or update information on the go is helpful. However, some people still prefer a hands-on approach, like pen and paper. Writing it down can help to feel more connected to your budget. It is also helpful if you don't feel comfortable linking your bank accounts to a budgeting service.

Compare manual and digital budgeting options

Budget systems, like the envelope system and the 50/30/20 budget, can help you make smart money decisions. Find a system that works for you.

First-time founder?confused between the terms and stuff in funding?yes, starting up with an idea is easy, but starting up with funding is a bit confusing. here's a simple stash for you to understand things around funding.(Do save this fur further reference)

What are different rounds in funding?

If you are at the ideation stage, you will start with borrowings/loans from your family, friends, and from your savings.this is called Bootstrapping or Pre-Seed funding. At this stage startups mostly concentrate on building MVP( Minimum Viable Product).

Bootstrapping 

And next comes Seed funding, it's the stage when Angel investors invest in startups by seeing their MVP, vision, and confidence of startup growth.While this is the starting stage for many startups, it is also a ‘wrapping up’ stage

Seed Funding

If the startup fails to utilize the first round and get in some results, it gets difficult for them to move to the second round of funding that is, Series A funding. After seed funding now you'll get series funding. There'll be A, B, C series mostly and sometimes D&E too.

Series

Once the start-up made some traction and got visibility with its product in the market, it'll eligible for Series A funding. In this round, startups are expected to have ideas about future development and revenue generation.  By series A, startups mostly concentrate to increase revenue and expansion. It can be funded by either Angel Investors or Venture capitalists.

Series A

By entering Series B, startups might already figure out their product-market fit and doing great at their business. Now the series B funding for them is all for Expansion, development and concentrates more on team building.

Series B

Series C funding is done mostly by successful and good revenue-generating startups. This funding is used for introducing new products, acquiring other startups, and mostly to stand out from their competitors.

Series C

After series C, there'll be very few startups going through series D&E, mostly because of failures in development/operating or got new ways to make it bug before going to IPO (Initial Public Offering). After these series of funding, the biggest thing for any startup/business is raising IPO, by startups switch from private limited to a public limited company and raise the huge amount by distributing shares to the public.

Angel Investors:An angel investor is an individual who provides capital for a business/start-up, usually in exchange for convertible debt or ownership equity. Angel investors usually give support to start-ups at the initial moments.Max investmentcapacity :$25,000 to $100,000. Venture Capital:It is a private equity investor that provides capital to companies with high growth potential in exchange for an equity stake. This could be funding startups/businesses.Max investment capacity:$1 million and $20 million or more or less.

Who are Angel Investors and Venture Capitalists?

NFTs are rarely being a passive income, but in near future, they'll be the best source of passive income.But, How can it be possible? for example, If a YouTuber had 100 videos in his channel and he minted them as NFTs, he shares the profit of the amount he earned through monetization to the owner of the videos.Like,you bought one NFT from him, if he earned $100 from that video he'll share the percentage of the amount you guys decided when you bought the NFT.

Possibility 

Recently, a music artist, Blau minted 300+ NFTs for his album to share 50% of revenues from the song 'Worst Case' for the holders. This will be more like a share market, we might be seeing this type of passive income with NFTs in real estate, creator economy, startup funding, and many more places. Ever thought to invest in a creator?I'm so excited about this. Let me know your views on this type of Passive Income with NFTs.

Reality

Can we consider NFTs as a passive income?

Osmosis, a decentralized exchange, has made its way to the front page of CoinGecko as its token has repeatedly rallied in the new year.Price isn’t the only factor looking up for the decentralized exchange (DEX) — Osmosis notched an all-time high of $112M in volume on Jan. 4, according to a dashboard provided by the project. Cosmos is a network of independent blockchains and its token ATOM, has rocketed 74% in the last 14 days.  <a href="https://mapofzones.com/?period=720&testnet=false&tableOrderBy=totalIbcTxs&tableOrderSort=desc">Map of Zones </a>, which tracks different Cosmos projects, each of which is its own blockchain, shows Osmosis as the leader in terms of IBC protocol transfers.

Summary

A IBC transfer happens when a user moves an asset from one Cosmos chain to another. This is done by effectively locking an asset on one chain and minting a mirrored version of it on another IBC-enabled chain. Map of Zones shows Osmosis with 1.39M IBC transfers in the last 30 days, while the number two ranking project, the Cosmos chain itself, has under 486,000 over that same time period.

Osmosis uses an automated market maker (<a href="https://thedefiant.io/what-are-automated-market-makers-like-uniswap/">AMM </a>) model, which means users provide the liquidity necessary for trading.Curve employs a bonding curve designed to take advantage of its homogenous asset pools like DAI-USDT-USDC, all of which are pegged to the US dollar. In addition to custom bonding curves, Osmosis’ generally exhibits a bent towards customization of pools. AMM pools should function more like <a href="https://thedefiant.io/what-is-a-dao-mapping-out-the-ecosystem/">DAOs </a>, meaning those providing liquidity should be able to customize the bonding curves, as well as the fee structure through governance.

Bonding Curve

The exchange has <a href="https://twitter.com/osmosiszone/status/1477011931852595205">additional feautres </a>coming down the pipe, not least of which is the integration of both ETH and BTC into the Cosmos ecosystem.
