Booze, Booms & Busts

This week as bitcoin launches to all-time highs what i happening in the bitcoin world? Is it ETF mania, what is a futures ETF anyway? Also, how does this match up with gold, the demand for gold and is gold relevant in a digital gold world? We also look at getting rekt in digital card games, how TradArt is worse than TradFi and what does it look like getting rekt on Antiques Roadshow in 100 years?...

We're on the verge of running out of everything. Steaks, milk...toys for Christmas. So if you believe the tabloids, better stock the f*** up for Christmas now! Or...instead of remitting over everyone, give the gift that keeps on giving...satoshi. We talk about how Bond is no good, reboots make us feel old, face peeling booms, why you must check your oven if you've stuff up Amazon's Q4 earnings and...

Monday beers, how can this not be a good idea? Due to a pause in programming last week, we've shifted to Monday this week talking about everything from games to play and earn to supplement income, energy crisis in Lebanon and how far your EV can go to NFTs and jewellery on a screen around your neck. Get some beers saddle in and have a Happy Monday!

Rektember is over! Uptober is here. Q4 LFG! But...do you remember that time in December when XRP was all the rage? The bros in the know felt remitting would grow and that XRP would be The Standard. In this week's Booze, Booms & Busts we cover everything from the standard, the week of jerry can mayhem, Bond movies, diminishing returns, remitting all over the record store, Ross Ulbricht and we drink...

It's Ryder Cup week! If you're into golf, this is a big a tournament that is out there. Team golf, is where it's at. If you're not into golf, what's wrong with you? Either way, we'll discuss America vs. Europe, why China is a master of illusion and how do you fight the FUD...all while sinking some of the finest beers from around the world. Also should Sam get those jerry cans he's been stewing ove...

Ok, we're sorry. Maybe we crashed Solana after last week's episode. It's possible. But more likely that someone just sacrificed the wrong virgin. This week's in depth episode covers everything from rebooting blockchains to what's cooking between Australia, the UK and the US. Is China about to get a shot across the bow? Also dilemma of the day, Winnie the Pooh or James Bond gold? Also the pub has n...

Two episodes in a week! Whoa. Well, technical difficulties can taketh away one week, but the following week giveth back! Today we look at the results from our "woman who presses CTRL–P at Tether/The Fed" poll, what's wrong with Ethereum and why Solana is booming. We also put ESG in our sights, think about the impact non-ESG will have and are we about to return to offensive income stocks for invest...

After a delay in last week's episode due to technical issues (Sam's fucked up screen) we're back MID-WEEK with a new Booze, Booms & Busts, talking HDDVD Porn, Jacuzzi tubs on Canary Wharf, the changing nature of Vauxhall, how attractive the ladies who push CTRL-P at Tether and the Fed are and doing so while sinking some beers(?) and getting it all done before Sam's cat fries himself causing more t...

The deal of the century has just landed. No, it's not Ronaldo's return to Manchester United. It's investors getting access to the Bombay Stock Market in India...or at least what we hope for. With so much money flowing around, from Premier League mega-wages to IPL cash glory, the question becomes where does it come from and where can you invest for it. We suggest perhaps the answer is INDIA! So muc...

We start with Shamu and China getting REKT working our way around to guys in gimp suits dancing for Elon and the depths of despair with OnlyFans. How did we get from there...to there? Well, tune in to find out more. Grab a couple of coldies/tinnies/brewskis and get your ear-holes ready for Episode 54 of Booze, Booms & Busts: Shamu attacks market

It's a special episode. An episode that will commemorate a hugely important day (this Sunday). A Day that all historians and financial-types should recognise and drink to. You can find out what it's all about in today's episode. But we also talk about whether stealing $600 million in crypto is a crime or a heroic act, where does the line blur between freedom and control of money, and of course we...

CryptoPunks, CryptoKitties, Hirst, Renaissance artists, property, Magic: The Gathering, Parallel, Steve Jobs' job application...what does it all mean? How are NFTs reshaping our landscape questioning value, money, wealth? Is it all a bubble or a massive money laundering operation? Why are NFTs even important? We deep dive into booms, busts, missed opportunity FOMO and the raging, white hot NFT mar...

It has only taken us 51 episodes to get to what may be a real turning point. Finally our FIRST EVER EPISODE where we barely talk about anything financial. in fact one may argue this entire episode is us just shooting the shit about things we would be talking about at the pub. Everything from living on boats to the intricacies of political correctness and social inequality. Also that perhaps this i...

We're back after a few weeks hiatus (Sam's wife had another kid so he gets a leave pass)! Time for beers and booms and busts, and busting today is ThorChain (what is ThorChain you ask? Well, listen to find out). Booming is the amount of money the US treasury has, which could lead Elon Musk to convert all his EU money to Bitcoin and boozing is us, with beers from the UK and Belgium. We also cover M...

What happens when you cross a billionaire with experimental financial technology and FOMO? You get the Cuban Missile Crisis! Still no idea what we're talking about? Well tune in to this weeks Booze, Booms and Busts to find out why Boaz is bullish on rugs, Sam is bearish on remote control VWs and of course some of the world's great beers and how they fit into our unnecessarily complex beer rating s...

It's Friyay again and time for Episode 48 of Booze, Booms & Busts. In today's episode we discuss everything from the rise of platinum group metals to Elon's arse smoke, the second hand car market and how the world's odlest auction house is going virtual! Of course some quality brews from all over the world, including an elusive but highly ranked BB+ from up Cheshire way. Tune in to find out what i...

Name one move, based on a video game that was good. Let's help you out, Hitman (both of them), Mortal Kombat (both of them), Street Fighter, Mario Bros, Prince of Persia, Assasins Creed...Tomb Raider...any of them good? Nope. Maybe Tomb Raider, but clearly Boaz has a thing for Angelina Jolie. It's a different one this week, but we do get on to other topics including virtual models, the USD ending...

After recovering from last week's huge episode, we're back with the OG crew...back to our old antics of talking about whatever pops into our mind on the markets, and even some more left-field stuff that arguably gets us wildly sidetracked. Excessive beer consumption is to blame. Today we talk bitcoin, crypto crashes, liquidation events, degenerates, Israel and their "Iron Dome" and cannabis. Oh, a...

We finally convinced him to come on. So if you're easily offended or don't like having your views challenged, best sit this one out. We've got Tim Price from Price Value Partners with us this week to talk inflation, commodities, Asia (but don't mention China!) and how long a sexual innuendo can be drawn out... We also drink beer, lots of beer, but never too much beer and we rate it. After all that...

Episode 44 of Booze Booms & Busts, looking at the biggest most mind blowing finance news of the week...is Elon Musk about to dump Dogecoin live on Saturday Night Live revealing the greatest prank of all time? Or is he really the Doge Messiah? Of course we pick apart why these things are even happening and how yu can't always trust what you read, especially if it's in the Economist! Beer reviews ga...

Gold vs. Bitcoin! The ultimate battle. The ultimate contest. But why must it be so? Gold has been "bad" but will it come good? Boaz is Bullish on it, should you be too? We look at the market of gold and bitcoin, gold vs. bitcoin and the gamification of everything. Why is Sam bullish on Paul Simon and is there anything he's bearish on? So much to cover, so little time. Grab a beer, or two, settle i...

After a week's abscence (due to Sam contracting NOT the WuFlu, we're back for Episode 42 where we discuss the how the nation state can find it's way into everything, even when they don't intend to, why New Zealand is ignoring crimes of humanity and how does Janet Yellen plan to steal the Yen? As usual beer reviews from some of the finest the UK has to offer including some tipples from up the beuat...

In a Booze, Booms & Busts WORLD EXCLUSIVE.....we're in the same room together for our 41st episode. Hoorah. This means awkward eye to eye contact, the aura of each other's beer quaffing, and of course robust discussion of financial and market events over new beers! So much in episode 41 that you just have to listen to find out about it... Plus the WORLD DEBUT of Blockheads beer from Cheddar Ales

We're quadragenarians this week! Episode 40, feeling old, but our content is fresh as ever. Such as, who is the fattest man in global finance? Can you find a fatter one? How to not propose in a foreign country. And also when you list on the market, (Deliveroo, Coinbase for example) do you offer up junk to customers, or do you screw them all for VC riches? So much in this week's episode, as well as...

We're live with Episode 39 and we've managed to wrangle in a special guest in one of the sharpest minds in the UK when it comes to property and economic cycles, Akhil Patel. Akhil's 18 year cycles should be gospel to investors and if you've never come across his work before, well, strap in because it's one of the most fascinating guests we've ever had on Booze, Booms & Busts. Or course we also add...
