E10: Bitcoin Manipulation, Corporate Real-Estate Collapse, and Japan goes full Kaizan!

Bitcoin #BTC — aka digital gold — was approved last week to be traded as ETFs, causing much celebration from investors who now have an easier time owning it. But all that glitters might not be gold, says our guest Vulture, aka @MrNotAdvice. If you care about free markets, their manipulation, and are concerned about Bitcoin losing some of its purity and philosophical principles, this episode is for you. Life in the investing jungle can be red in tooth and claw! So we also asked Mr. Not Advice to elaborate on his most likely and impactful doomsday scenarios which, if they came to pass, would be devastating to the stock market. Warning: this episode is not for the easily spooked investor, but for those who can handle looking at high-risk scenarios! Hint: commercial real estate is not looking so hot, and the banks who own lots of those loans are in trouble. But with Japan as our ally, they’ll continue to buy US debt, helping to keep interest rates from rising again, right? Oh boy, if Doom is what you want, this Doomsday Episode is what you need. Oh - and if you want to know how to protect yourself from the coming financial apocalypse, we share a bunch of preventative measures you can take to avoid the worst of the potential collapse. --- You can find more episodes of the podcast at wallstreetwildlife.com, and you can follow us at: X.com/7lukehallard X.com/7flyingplatypus Wall Street Wildlife is also on Instagram and Tiktok @wallstreetwildlife. --- Fed up with the stock market giving you a hard time? - Invest like seasoned pros with over 40 years in the game - Discover the world's leading companies - Sharpen your best investing practices and ditch the worst - Learn how to start investing - Essential investing principles to boost your returns --- investing in stocks for beginners, stock trading for beginners, stocks and shares for beginners, investing 101, learn how to invest, stock market for dummies
