#201: The Current State Of Cryptocurrencies With Economic Historian Raoul Pal

<p>He’s back for the second time on the show; one of my favourite guests – Business Cycle Economist, Investment Strategist & Economic Historian - Raoul Pal. Raoul is one of the most sought-after crypto experts, and with world-wide panic around a looming recession, failing markets and crypto meltdown – I wanted to speak with someone to understand the state of cryptocurrency better right now. In this episode, Raoul shares advice on what people should do with their excess cash, what you need to know about the crypto market, lessons from buying his first Bitcoin, Raoul’s opinions on Ethereum, staking your crypto and so much more. This episode is filled to the brim with helpful information that will give you a useful overview of what’s happening right now and where you should focus your attention as an investor.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Discussion points</strong></p> <p>04:48 Dubai versus the rest of the world</p> <p>09:35 The US property market</p> <p>10:53 What people should do with their cash</p> <p>15:58 What you need to know about the crypto market</p> <p>20:55 Lessons from buying Bitcoin</p> <p>25:07 Creating an investing thesis</p> <p>28:40 Raoul’s opinion on Ethereum</p> <p>34:53 Staking your crypto</p> <p>37:30 Trading platforms  and storing your crypto</p> <p>41:33 Adoption of crypto      </p> <p>44:01 Web3 and data centralisation</p> <p>50:20 Understanding risk versus return in investing</p> <p>55:03 Financial education</p> <p>58:01 Raoul’s prediction on the crypto market</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p><strong>Show Sponsors:</strong></p> <p>Smartkas: Providing food security as a service <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/smartkastech/?hl=en">https://www.instagram.com/smartkastech/?hl=en</a></p> <p>Najahi Events: The UAE’s leading event promotor <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/najahievents/?hl=en">https://www.instagram.com/najahievents/?hl=en</a></p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p><strong>Socials:</strong></p> <p><strong>Spencer Lodge</strong></p> <p><a href= "https://www.instagram.com/spencer.lodge/?hl=
