@starkerz Did a presentation on Round the clock trader this morning at 11.15 am.
This was done on the round the clock trader website and was presented by @starkerz who brought his view of cryptocurrency mainly bitcoin but had an element of steem in it too.
I logged in early to listen to the other presentations first before @starkerz made his webinar.
The other presentations were interesting but in all fairness, I was waiting really to listen to @starkerz.
A few technical difficulties in one of the other presentation made the webinar run longer than it was meant to but only by a few minutes.
@starkerz was introduced and sounded professional and gave good clear advice about cryptocurrencies, the bit I laughed about was the disclaimer at the beginning stating that investing is always a risk.
While he talked about banks and how they work I posted a question about how banks could get away with printing money and making the value of money go down by printing more money. This was interesting to here as I interpreted that the money you receive is worth less and less over time while it sits in your bank while in bitcoin there is a higher chance of it increasing over time and the proof was in the stats.
What I liked the most was finding that with cryptocurrency you can be your own personal bank by using a hardware drive to store your crypto on.
I have been using an online wallet to store my bitcoin in and knowing that I can have the hardware to keep it myself makes me feel safer than leaving it online, this will be something I will be looking into very soon.
I was a little shocked after hearing more USD get used to fund terror and drugs in the world than any other currency. when you here about cryptocurrency on the news or with nieve people they say that Bitcoin is used to fund these activities with the deep dark web.
I also learned today that you can transfer bitcoin anywhere in the world faster than the banks, I feel like this is a great achievement for a currency and this was something I did not know before listening to the @starkerz webinar.
The thing that I found interesting the most was you can use bitcoin as an inheritance and set it to someone at a later date to receive, I would like to think that in 10-20 years time my kids could have money to see them through their lives if something was to happen to me.
The great thing @starkerz mentioned was that you don't need to set up a will for this to happen, so there is no fee's which means as a person I am saving money.
The webinar ran smooth, there was a lot for me to take in, and while I listened and watched I took notes on the things this also helped me write this blog.
The amount of world debt was amazing to see, I didn't realise that as a country we were so much in debt it makes me wonder why we pay so high taxes and the amount is not coming down.
thanks @starkerz for opening my eyes to crypto, it was interesting to see how bitcoin works and where we can spend it.
if you missed it you can go to the website and watch it again
