If you’ve ever wanted to know more about the technology behind LBRY, then check out this interview I did with the LBRY ETO & cofounder Alex Grintsvayg who is in charge of the tech side of things there. **Video Timestamps:** *00:37 Tell Us About You 02:08 What Is LBRY? 03:40 LBRY vs Odysee 06:40 LBRY Community Fund 11:09 LBRY Vs Censorship 14:20 KYC 15:05 Privacy 18:05 Difference Between Interfaces 20:30 Building On Blockchain 22:40 Livestreaming 24:35 What’s Up Next 26:00 The Next 5 Years 28:20 Ad Monetization 30:20 LBC Rewards 33:35 LBRY Supports 40:00 Outro* Some people know it as LBRY, others as Odysee, and now they have a new parent company: Lab From Mars. Whichever interface you use, you are offered an amazing blockchain solution to video hosting backed by their native cryptocurrency: LBC. LBC or library credits allow users to support their videos and stake their content on the network. LBRY has been one of my most favorite decentralized platforms and I highly recommend it. However, they are dealing with an 11-million-dollar lawsuit from the SEC that is completely unfounded in my opinion. You can sign the petition to save LBRY here: https://helplbrysavecrypto.com/ **These are some of the questions we went over:** • Can you tell us a little bit about yourself? • How and when did you originally get into cryptocurrency • Can you give us a brief introduction to LBRY? • What problem does LBRY solve? • How are you guys growing the LBRY community and how can people get involved and makes proposals?

Focus on the work before the brand. Lately I have seen that people are trying to do this in reverse. They start to build a big brand off nothing and then have nothing to show because they don’t have any processes for content or really any processes at all. When you wait until you have everything perfect it’s too late. So whether your creating content or building a business, you need to have an actual business to brand before you focus everything on presentation. You can present what you have to say at the Superbowl for the whole world, but if you have nothing to say then does it matter? This isn't for #Linkedin specifically as I actually see it the most for #Instagram businesses, but the concept is equally applicable It’s almost the same for dieting, it’s the same for most things. Changing the presentation but presenting the same content and data won’t make a difference. You can’t treat a rebrand like you’re going to win the lottery after. It still comes back to the effort and the work always. Learn to work hard before you can work smart. This was mainly about #business and #branding but if you'd like to continue along in this series you can follow and use #gettinglinkedin Please share your thoughts on this in the comments I'd love to hear them! ?

For new people in the crypto space, it can be pretty overwhelming to understand all the nuances. Cryptocurrency coins are different from tokens, let’s talk about those differences and why they matter. This is my 512th episode/article. I put a great deal of work into this content so if you find it valuable, please do like, share, comment and subscribe! *Note that I had COVID when recording this so please forgive the potentially lower quality* Some examples are Tron with TRC20, Ethereum with ERC20, and Binance with BEP20 tokens. There are many chains that have their own tokens as well such as Hive, Solana, Polkadot, Avalanche, and more. The main thing to consider is that when you are using the ecosystems of these blockchains and want to trade between tokens, you can only do that within each ecosystem. So, you can only trade ERC20 tokens for other ERC20 tokens or Ethereum on a “decentralized” exchange like Uniswap. Thorswap offers you the ability to trade across chains like from Bitcoin to Ethereum, but that was covered here: https://peakd.com/hive-167922/@scottcbusiness/ybrwvnta https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_thz6aVGxI To some degree, it could make more sense to just invest in the underlying asset. For example, if you invest in Ethereum, you would have seen a massive jump in value when Shiba Inu blew up in hype (which is now worth only 28% of its all-time high). Also, remember that you are generally stuck within that ecosystem and subject to its features and drawbacks. For example, using any ERC20 tokens costs Ethereum gas fees which have been very high for some time. Also, note that projects can distribute tokens across multiple chains. For example, you can get USDT on many chains: https://tether.to/en/transparency/. You can see on that site that they have issued huge amounts of USDT across Ethereum, Tron, Algorand, EOS, Solana, Avalanche, and more. I don’t at all support Tether, by the way, it’s extremely centralized. What are your thoughts on cryptocurrency coins vs tokens? Did this explanation help? Where do you like to trade?

Time for another update on my investment portfolio and my passive income journey. In this episode, I cover my regular monthly update sharing what I invest in and why. This is amateur investing at its finest! ***Disclaimer: This is not financial advice and is purely for entertainment purposes. All my stock information is 100% accurate, but my crypto data may or may not be simulated*** I share everything so you can follow everything I’m doing with 100% transparency. The point of doing all this is to show you that it’s possible and provide some sort of framework that can be followed. This isn’t financial advice, and you shouldn’t exactly replicate my investing. What you should do is figure out what works best for you and stick to the basics of dollar-cost averaging, investing in good assets, avoid liabilities, compounding interest, be frugal, buy low, and sell high. Investing Spreadsheet Template Link: https://bit.ly/investingtemplate Income Tracking Spreadsheet Template Link: https://bit.ly/incometemplate Budgeting Spreadsheet Template Link: https://bit.ly/expensestemplate **Below I will list everything for the monthly report:** I liquidated my total portfolio for $38,902.49. The total deposits that I made were $30,923, but I made one withdrawal of $150 leaving the total at $30,733. This means that I was up 26.5% on my stocks when I sold everything which I am very happy with. This includes everything like my dividends earned, compounding interest, trade costs, etc. This happened in February, but I still shared most of this already. Going forward I am simply investing outside of banks and in a few Canadian ETFs, namely VDY, PDC, FCCD, and XEI to keep things extremely simple and not waste my time over something that is so centralized. I will be aggressively looking for ways to invest in synthetic stocks through cryptocurrency like with Terra for example. Most attempts on Ethereum and other chains have been eliminated already even in “decentralized” environments. I’ve put about $11,000 into these ETFs and I’m already up 3.45% as of writing this. After liquidation, I am making an average of $137.31 a month from passive income mostly from stock dividends, crypto income, and some from music royalties. I aim to get back up to my previous amount of around $250 as my next milestone. This year I hope to get up to $400 with crypto passive income. My portfolio is roughly rounded to about 75% crypto, 5% stocks, 2% in precious metals, and 18% in liquid fiat cash. My total annual projected income from passive sources is $1,647.71. $430.41 of those yearly profits come from stock dividends and about $1,217.30 comes from cryptocurrency staking. My crypto income continues to climb exponentially from the continued topping up of my accounts and compounding the interest I’m earning. I’ve also started to focus much more on crypto income and have less reliance on fiat altogether. In my last update, my total portfolio value was $266,755 CAD. My current portfolio value with all my investments is $272,896. This is up about $6,141 from last month’s total value. My highest portfolio value ever was around $395,000 which is about 31% higher than where I’m at now. I’m slowly but surely making my way back to my all-time high. I earned $101.86 CAD from stock dividends, $0 CAD from crypto real estate, and $78.13 CAD from my last month of staking Hive, HBD, TRX, and MTR staking on Den.Social. In total, I have earned about $651.04 CAD from crypto and $1,834.99 CAD from stock dividends. My portfolio in terms of stock sector breakdown is just 92% into those 4 ETFs noted above and 8% into an investment fund. I’ve completely scrapped my goals for retirement and will be sharing my new goals and strategy in my next update. For crypto, my main breakdown between ETH & BTC is 57% ETH, and 43% BTC. This is allegedly valued at $178,316 CAD at the time of writing this. For privacy crypto, I have about $2,404 worth of XMR. For staking crypto that earns me passive income, I have about $10,980 worth of HBD, Hive, TRX, and ATOM. My blurt and MTR is to be sold as soon as possible for Hive. I have $8,243 worth of speculative investments in Rune, Luna, Matic, and Binance Coin. Lastly, I have $7,263 worth of crypto cash in Dash, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, and BUSD. My investing lately has been much more heavily focused on precious metals and survival preparedness gear. Mainly I’ve been acquiring silver and gold for precious metals and power outage supplies and emergency food. I’ve also been dabbling with survival skills and preparing faraday gear.
