Spiritual Elements of Money with Luis Fernando Mises – Episode 197

The Story: Is money good or evil?

Luis Fernando Mises is known for his podcast “Emancipated Human”, and for teaching servant leadership as a consultant to large companies in the USA. Some people might find it a contradiction that Luis is a corporate man in a suit and tie, and an intensely spiritual man, even a spiritual healer. In fact, there is no contradiction – improving the lives of people in companies and healing souls are goals that are very consistent. Likewise, it seems contradictory to be an entrepreneur in the pursuit of money, and seeking inner fulfillment. As we learn in this interview, money goes much deeper than that.

Many people point and blame the nameless rich, the unseen 1%, rarely present to defend themselves, and it conjures the image of oil robber barons, Rockefellers and Carnegies. In fact, it only takes $32,400 to be in the top 1% of income earners worldwide – nowhere near the mega-rich level that we’re lead to believe.

Is the love of money the root of all evil? Money is a reflection of your energy, putting your effort into creating something, serving others, a representation of your production and service for others. We can use it to improve our own physical reality, enhancing our enjoyment and our friend’s enjoyment, and even to produce more wealth, freeing up time to spend it with loved ones. As long as your pursuit of money doesn’t cause you to lose your respect for people, it is good.

Join Kurt and Luis on a grateful, entrepreneurial, financial and spiritual journey in the next episode of … The Paradise Paradox!

Bitcoin over 9000: Lock in profits! – Episode 184

The Story: Why to sell cryptocurrency when the price is exploding

Bitcoin is over $9000 USD and people are going bananas. In cryptocurrency discussion groups, there are rumours that mass adoption is finally taking hold, that everyone’s grandma is buying BTC, or even that the dollar is crashing against Bitcoin. Meanwhile, using cryptocurrency remains more difficult than programming a VCR, and addresses continue to look like computer errors. Mainstream interest has piqued, but as long as the user experience remains poor, mass adoption is unlikely.

Nevertheless, people in the community are going crazy over the rise in price. It’s tempting to believe it will go up forever, a mistake many have made in markets and paid dearly for it. The longer the mania over the price continues, the more likely a correction – but nobody can say exactly when, how, or how much.

As many have made small (or large) fortunes in this market, and people are so hyped, that’s a sign that now is the time to be prudent, and to consider how much of your net worth you really want to have sitting in volatile space age Internet nerd money. Times like these can be good to put some money into more stable assets, such as cash, or perhaps precious metals. Selling small amounts at a time means you can be adaptive to changing market conditions – remaining open to selling more if the price keeps going up, and having the chance to buy if the price slips.

Life is about risk management. You can’t make the perfect move, but you can be flexible enough to prepare for different scenarios, and you certainly can be humble enough to see the possibility of different scenarios. Nobody knows how high Bitcoin or other cryptos will go, and nobody knows when it will crash. Accounting for the lack of knowledge is the beginning of wisdom.
