In this week's episode I cover a few different things. Times right now are trying. Both the stock market and crypto in general seem to be in an outright free fall. Next week the Fed will most likely be announcing another half a percent interest rate increase. The majority of investors still consider crypto to be a risk-on asset so there is no significant decoupling of btc and other crypto from traditional stocks. Where do you go from here?

Crypto prices got you down? Maybe the economy or the pandemic or personal issues are weighing on your mind. I have some good news for you today!!! No matter WHAT is going on in your life, you can take control of your financial future. The economy stinks. Inflation is eating away at your savings and maybe the shelves at the grocery store are a little bare. While bitcoin and other solid crypto assets can't solve everything, they can help you find a better financial future. So begin the process of removing yourself from the world of debt-based paper money that will only lead to more destruction and decay. If you haven't done so .. it's time to join the revolution.

Last episode we discussed how to earn interest on your crypto using centralized platform such as https://nexo.io (https://nexo.io). Crypto being crypto, there are decentralized methods to earning interest -- called "yield farming". Cutting out the middleman can provide a much higher return on your assets but there are risks we need to discuss. During today's episode we cover the various ways that defi platforms can provide services that allow you generate that interest. I discuss the four primary ways that interest can be earned on these platforms. And of course we talk about risks of using a decentralized platform.
