Criptomoneda, Bitcoin, ICO, blockchain, minería ... Al escuchar esas palabras hace un par de años, la gente solía decir: Es una estafa, una burbuja financiera. No tiene sentido invertir, el precio es demasiado bajo. Alguna vez reconocio la criptomoneda, es un esquema piramidal obvio. Es una especie de diversión para los nerds. No es grave, colapsará en un par de años. Hasta hace poco, la criptomoneda había sido vista como una especie de diversión para un puñado de los elegidos que compraron y vendieron algo y creían que una nueva moneda sería un éxito algún día. Seguramente también estuviste entre esas personas que no tomaron en serio a Bitcoin y la criptomoneda, pero los eventos actuales amordazan incluso a los escépticos más grandes. El precio actual de Bitcoin es 6.644 $ *El precio de la criptomoneda más popular rompe repetidamente todos los registros impensables. La capitalización es de aproximadamente $ 120 mil millones. Reconocimiento mundialLas economías más grandes del mundo, India y Japón, reconocieron a Bitcoin como la moneda oficial. Las autoridades estadounidenses reconocieron la criptomoneda como un activo. Y esto es sólo el principio. Minería a escala industrial. El mercado de las criptomonedas está cambiando muy rápidamente, y es casi imposible controlar la situación y tomar las decisiones correctas por su cuenta. La mayoría de las personas no tienen la experiencia, el tiempo y el dinero adecuados para eso. Mi libro brinda información básica pero bastante extensa para aquellas personas que no persiguen un arcoíris pero desean construir un negocio rentable a largo plazo en una de las áreas de criptomonedas: desde la minería hasta la inversión. Por lo tanto, este libro no se trata de: Formas ilegales de ganar dinero, elogiando la criptomoneda, instando a invertir en ella hasta el último centavo, técnicas de fraude y hacer un dinero rápido, teoría aburrida y sin sentido, formas de ganar millones sin inversiones y riesgos . Este libro lo ayudará aprender lo siguiente: Qué forma de ganar dinero en el mercado de criptomonedas se adapta mejor a usted. ¿Dónde debería comenzar si solo tiene $ 500? Qué información sobre la criptomoneda retienen los expertos (¡Quítese las gafas de color rosa!). Cómo elaborar una estrategia personal, establecer su propio negocio de criptomonedas y ganar sus primeros $ 3,000-10,000 a partir de 2018. También puedo garantizarle que: Desconcierte la tendencia actual de la moneda actual, incluso si no tiene idea de economía, finanzas y tecnología. Comprenda si realmente desea invertir en criptomonedas (tal vez, este tipo de negocio no le conviene en absoluto y le ahorrará tiempo) Obtenga información sobre cómo verificar los riesgos y no invertir en la primera moneda disponible. Habiendo considerado mi experiencia, protégete de posibles fallas y derrama dinero por el desagüe que inevitablemente sucederá si te quedas ciego. Por lo tanto, mi objetivo es bastante simple: ayudarlo a establecer y desarrollar negocios en una de las áreas de criptomonedas. ¡Descubra 7 estrategias de inversión en criptomonedas + 2 estrategias perfectas hoy!

The unputdownable true crime financial thriller and instant #1 bestseller Wall Street sell-offs and stock market meltdowns aren't the worst that can happen... What if you're invested in a Ponzi Scheme? It can happen to you... Market volatility, financial upheaval, and economic uncertainty are the main catalysts for Ponzi scheme collapse--and financially ruined investors. Politics, global instability, trade wars and volatile stock markets can all be catalysts for a financial meltdown. When markets collapse, fraud, Ponzi schemes and other investment scams are exposed, but usually too late to get your money back. Are you and your money protected? Can you spot a Ponzi scheme? Most people don't know that they're caught in a fraudulent investment until it's too late. At best they lose their retirement funds, college funds, and nest eggs. At worst, they are financially ruined. You owe it to yourself and your family to learn how to spot and avoid Ponzi schemes and protect your money. Most of the 10 biggest Ponzi schemes collapsed during the Great Recession and financial crisis. Today's financial markets are even more volatile, with catalysts providing exactly the right conditions to trigger a Ponzi scheme collapse. Unwitting investors will be financially ruined and left holding the bag. The next massive Ponzi scheme collapse will surprise both veteran investors and financial experts alike, and will dwarf Bernard Madoff's massive $50 billion fraud during the 2008 financial crisis. Will you be a victim of the greatest fraud of the 21st century, or will you be prepared? Don't fall prey to the next wolf of Wall Street. You will be surprised to learn you are probably already invested in one of these schemes, either directly or indirectly as part of your mutual fund, pension fund, hedge fund or other investments. Many innocent victims suffered financial ruin simply because they didn't spot the Ponzi scheme red flags and warning signs until it was too late. Knowledge is power, and by following a few simple steps you can protect yourself and your money. You'll also discover exactly how Bernard Madoff, Scott Rothstein, Tom Petters and others defrauded investors for years, and how they ultimately got caught. Get Anatomy of a Ponzi today so you can protect yourself and keep your investments safe! A #1 New York Times bestseller business book from investing expert and CPA Colleen Cross.

"Throughout the ages, many things have been used as currency: livestock, grains, spices, shells, beads, and now paper. But only two things have ever been money: gold and silver. When paper money becomes too abundant, and thus loses its value, man always turns back to precious metals. During these times there is always an enormous wealth transfer, and it is within your power to transfer that wealth away from you or toward you." --Michael Maloney, precious metals investment expert and historian; founder and principal, Gold & Silver, Inc. The Advanced Guide to Investing Gold and Silver tells readers: The essential history of economic cycles that make gold and silver the ultimate monetary standard. How the U.S. government is driving inflation by diluting our money supply and weakening our purchasing power Why precious metals are one of the most profitable, easiest, and safest investments you can make Where, when, and how to invest your money and realize maximum returns, no matter what the economy's state Essential advice on avoiding the middleman and taking control of your financial destiny by making your investments directly.

A comprehensive and authoritative exploration of Bitcoin and its place in monetary history When a pseudonymous programmer introduced “a new electronic cash system that’s fully peer-to-peer, with no trusted third party” to a small online mailing list in 2008, very few people paid attention. Ten years later, and against all odds, this upstart autonomous decentralized software offers an unstoppable and globally accessible hard money alternative to modern central banks. The Bitcoin Standard analyzes the historical context to the rise of Bitcoin, the economic properties that have allowed it to grow quickly, and its likely economic, political, and social implications. While Bitcoin is an invention of the digital age, the problem it purports to solve is as old as human society itself: transferring value across time and space. Author Saifedean Ammous takes the reader on an engaging journey through the history of technologies performing the functions of money, from primitive systems of trading limestones and seashells, to metals, coins, the gold standard, and modern government debt. Exploring what gave these technologies their monetary role, and how most lost it, provides the reader with a good idea of what makes for sound money, and sets the stage for an economic discussion of its consequences for individual and societal future-orientation, capital accumulation, trade, peace, culture, and art. Compellingly, Ammous shows that it is no coincidence that the loftiest achievements of humanity have come in societies enjoying the benefits of sound monetary regimes, nor is it coincidental that monetary collapse has usually accompanied civilizational collapse. With this background in place, the book moves on to explain the operation of Bitcoin in a functional and intuitive way. Bitcoin is a decentralized, distributed piece of software that converts electricity and processing power into indisputably accurate records, thus allowing its users to utilize the Internet to perform the traditional functions of money without having to rely on, or trust, any authorities or infrastructure in the physical world. Bitcoin is thus best understood as the first successfully implemented form of digital cash and digital hard money. With an automated and perfectly predictable monetary policy, and the ability to perform final settlement of large sums across the world in a matter of minutes, Bitcoin’s real competitive edge might just be as a store of value and network for the final settlement of large payments―a digital form of gold with a built-in settlement infrastructure. Ammous’ firm grasp of the technological possibilities as well as the historical realities of monetary evolution provides for a fascinating exploration of the ramifications of voluntary free market money. As it challenges the most sacred of government monopolies, Bitcoin shifts the pendulum of sovereignty away from governments in favor of individuals, offering us the tantalizing possibility of a world where money is fully extricated from politics and unrestrained by borders. The final chapter of the book explores some of the most common questions surrounding Bitcoin: Is Bitcoin mining a waste of energy? Is Bitcoin for criminals? Who controls Bitcoin, and can they change it if they please? How can Bitcoin be killed? And what to make of all the thousands of Bitcoin knockoffs, and the many supposed applications of Bitcoin’s ‘block chain technology’? The Bitcoin Standard is the essential resource for a clear understanding of the rise of the Internet’s decentralized, apolitical, free-market alternative to national central banks.
