Vagorithm Factors – A Bit of Insight
In creating the Vagorithm, which is still a process I am tweaking and trying to get right – I have taken a number of known indicators and created a composite. What makes it different is that I have put together some things that aren’t usually meshed and incorporated them into my algorithm. Here are a…
Diversifying Cryptocurrency Investments with Stocks
I am, without apology, a so-called Bitcoin Maximalist. I believe that within a few years Bitcoin will be the most used currency on planet earth. That being said – I don’t believe in putting all of my eggs in one basket. There are many places where you can put your money, if you choose –…
July 2018. Bitcoin Surges to $7400 and Brings All of Cryptocurrency With It.
It was a good day to be in cryptocurrency today. Bitcoin took off this morning, for reasons that are not altogehter clear and it brought it’s hundred closest friends and nearly every other coin or token with it.

I thought drugs and crime would be the issues – but instead it was predatory lending and gentrification. Predatory lending- led by Countrywide – worked…

Trade War, NATO, and WTO Disputes are Excuse to Enact Totalitarian Controls
If you think that the current disputes with NATO, WTO, NAFTA, and the trade war with China are efforts to make the United States a great country, you are sadly delusional and obviously a sapiens.

Bitcoin – Get Rich or At Least Have Fun Watching the Ride
A few years ago – I set up a bitcoin wallet, but I didn’t really have $100 to spend on something that was probably going to be replaced by something else – I saw the value proposition of Bitcoin, but the interface and use was too clunky. I set up my antique shop to accept…
