The LeoFinance Podcast

Earlier in the week we recorded this LEO Roundtable episode and covered a broad range of topics. We kicked it off with a debate about the HIVE price and the future of the Hive blockchain — since we have different viewpoints on where Hive stands now and in the future. It’s interesting to hear all sides of the story. We all use Hive regularly, but we have very different perspectives as to what the f...

In the latest episode of Tech Talk, @taskmaster4450 and I dove in the topic of digital economies. In the first part of this episode (the video in this post), we discussed the value of layered economies and global access especially as they relate to the Hive ecosystem.

In the 12th episode of the LEO Roundtable podcast, we set a new record for the length of a single recording session. We did just under 3 hours in this episode and covered a wide range of topics. One of the main points we discussed (for the first hour of the podcast) is LeoFinance. We wanted to run through all the numbers including ad revenue, token burning, development costs, etc. and create a pro...

For the 50th episode of the LeoFinance podcast, we hosted another LEO Roundtable podcast. We kicked it off talking about the popular dollar milkshake theory and continued on to analyze the price of the USD now and in the near to long-term future, drawing in analyses on other major fiat currencies across the globe. Following a logical progression, we analyzed Gold and Bitcoin after our talks a...

We had an extremely wide-ranging discussion on the latest LEO Roundtable podcast episode. We intermittently talked about LEO & LeoFinance while discussing the broader crypto and equity markets. During the roundtable, we also has a focus on the basics of charting. Since I’ve spent most of my time on fundamentals, I'm not well-versed in technical analysis. During this episode, I got some basic l...

Whenever the price of Bitcoin spikes and we see BTC all over the news feeds, there is a rush of speculation and new entrants into the market. We can see this happening from a variety of metrics — Coinbase account signups, on-chain transactions, volume or even your personal text messages. The majority of people tend to take a look at Bitcoin only during these major media coverage moments. The 2020...

This week was a big one for technology. We saw the Dragon capsule launch by SpaceX & NASA where the first humans to ever be launched by a private company went without a hitch. This is also the first human launch on a reusable rocket. Seeing the astronauts flying toward space while the booster rocket landed back here on Earth to be reused in a later flight is an incredible thing to witness. We’...

In the last LEO Roundtable we talked about the real estate market. @scaredycatguide (Mitchell) and @nealmcspadden (Neal) have a lot of knowledge in this area and they shed some light on how Covid is impacting real estate now and in the next few years to come. With the high rate of forbearance, the growing unemployment rate and the suffering economic climate in the U.S., there are a lot of aligning...

Welcome back to the 9th episode of the LEO Roundtable where we bring four unique perspectives to the traditional markets, crypto and anything finance-related that happens to catch our attention. On one of the first episodes of the LEO Roundtable, we talked about SLV and I ended up investing in it based on the discussion we had. That has done quite well for me over the past several weeks since that...

Hey everyone, welcome back to the second episode of Tech Talk with https://leofinance.io/@taskmaster4450 and myself (https://leofinance.io/@khaleelkazi). Each week we’re talking about the latest happenings in technology and our outlooks on the future - especially as it relates to investing in technology and being on the right side of history. We kicked it off talking about technological convergenc...

Welcome back to another episode of the LeoFinance podcast. Today is the first episode of the new “Tech Talk” series with me (@khaleelkazi) and @taskmaster4450 (technologist and crypto investor). In this new series, we’ll meet once a week to record a podcast episode and talk about the intersection of tech and finance. The goal here is to talk about the bigger picture when it comes to tech adoption,...

We held another LEO Roundtable this week and talked about the markets especially in the midst of major central bank actions. We began the talk by discussing some LEO updates including 2 of the new websites that we added to the LeoFinance community portfolio. As we aim to raise the tide on our entire ecosystem, we see these various projects take shape and flourish. We moved on to talk about the S&a...

@Taskmaster4450 is a popular author on the Hive blockchain and has been blogging about the future and the intersection of technology, crypto, Web 3.0 and more. He’s an avid user of Hive and also a believer in the long-term vision of the LeoFinance community. In this discussion, we talked about many of the reasons for his investment of both time and money in the Hive blockchain and his thoughts abo...

Today we held another LEO Roundtable and discussed traditional markets, equities, unemployment numbers, cryptocurrencies and bond interest rates. As always, I learned a lot during this episode and we covered a lot of ground. I always tend to find some good trade opportunities as well as some good long-term insights that impact the way I manage my portfolio. In This Episode: Unemployment numbers an...

We gathered for another live LEO Roundtable on May 5th and discussed where the markets are at right now, where we think they’re going short-term and also gave some longer term outlooks as well. We talked equities, bonds and finished it off with some BTC analysis before the halving in less than 6 days. We also talked a bit about HIVE and where we see that going in the medium-term as well. As always...

With all of the various exchange listings and marketing collaborations between Hive and major players in the crypto space, there has been a lot of increased attention over the past few weeks as Hive gains ground and takes shape. Hive is a complex ecosystem of applications, users, social interactions, rewards pools and more. Trying to navigate this blockchain as a newcomer can be daunting and many...

It has been a crazy week in the markets, not just for equities and the broader financial markets, but for HIVE and crypto as well. We kicked off this episode of the LEO Roundtable by talking about the things happening on Hive. The crazy price jump (a ~10x increase in price over a period of about 72 hours), a multitude of exchange listings and more. We also mentioned how we are each playing this ma...

What a day! HIVE is up over 60% in price on the news that Huobi is listing your friendly-neighborhood cryptocurrency. There are a lot of amazing developments on Hive, but when the price jumps like this it has an exponential impact on the pace and scope of those developments. For one, you see more creators/users interested in blogging/using the blockchain so they can earn more HIVE from the rewards...

Security of crypto funds is the greatest debate in the space. Everyone who has spent even a millisecond of time in crypto knows that there is a risk to being uninformed when it comes to storing and using your funds. When you don’t have third-parties — i.e. banks — involved to give you a sense of security, you need to provide security for yourself. Security comes in the form being both informed and...

In the latest episode of the LEO roundtable, we kick it off by talking about the latest unemployment numbers and how they may be horribly inaccurate. We move on to discuss the markets from a broad perspective and look at oil, big tech, Apple, real estate, crypto and more. The roundtable discussions always dig deep and we cover a lot of ground. In This Episode: Unemployment numbers… are the numbers...

In this week’s episode of the LEO Roundtable, we talked about some of our favorite sectors in the current market conditions. We also walked through some of the FED buying activities and how they affect our positions. One of my favorite parts of the discussion is when we talked about Gold, Silver and Bitcoin. According to every technical/fundamental indicator, these assets may have a very bright fu...

I just listened to this Q&A clip from Andreas Antonopolous in which he addresses concerns over the security of Proof of Stake systems and a few of the potential attack vectors. Over the past 30-40 days, we’ve seen Justin Sun take advantage of a Delegated Proof of Stake system on the Steem blockchain. Sun did this by acquiring such a large stake in the network that he controlled the witness ele...

In this second episode of the LEO roundtable, Rolland walks us through his process for ratio analyses and also presents a few macro indicators for equities, bonds, crypto and the global markets on a broader scale. As with the first episode of the roundtable discussion, we covered a wide range of topics. Whether you’re looking for discounted investments, the “right time” to buy back in, options tra...

In this episode of the podcast, I’m joined by Mitchell (https://steemleo.com/@scaredycatguide), Rolland (https://steemleo.com/@rollandthomas) and Neal (https://steemleo.com/@nealmcspadden) for the first ever LEO Roundtable discussion. We each have a very different perspective in how we look at the markets and how we choose to invest in them. It’s interesting to see everything culminate as we take...

Today on the LEO podcast, I was joined by Rachel Siegel with CryptoFinally. We had a great conversation about the crypto space, day-to-day activities on various platforms, the Hive community situation, tribalism in the broader industry and more. In This Episode: How did you get into the crypto space? How do you describe what you do in the space? What does your day-to-day look like? Where do you sp...
