35: Dan Clarke's Story on Going Full Crypto

Upon discovering crypto, Dan went from being a skeptic about Bitcoin, to fully realizing the value it brings to the world of finance in a period of two years. This transition led Dan to leave the world of Traditional Banking behind and opt into living off of Bitcoin.
 
Dan Clark is the personification of Go Full Crypto. He has lived without using a bank account for over a year. Dan says he’s not going back. While living without a bank account seems like a fantasy for some, Dan tells Keegan and Mrugakshee how this reality is closer than we think.
 
His story takes us through the chronicles of him moving out of the UK to the place with the cheapest flights, discovering a career in Marketing that led him to work at several large tech giants such as Groupon and Binance, and then discovering the world of Finance.

34: Case Study on MicroStrategy - Turning $425 Million Cash Reserves into Bitcoin

Case Study: MicroStrategy Buys $425 Million Worth of Bitcoin
 
A publicly traded company called MicroStrategy has now bought Bitcoin on three separate occasions. Once in August ($250 million), another in September ($175 million), and again in December ($50 million). That is because MicroStrategy is adopting the Bitcoin Standard. But why would any company want to do this? Go Full Crypto has produced a case study to answer this question. The case study tells the story of Michael Saylor, the CEO, and the board MicroStrategy, on their journey to adopting bitcoin on a company wide level.
 
The takeaways:
1 - It’s never too late to buy bitcoin
2 - It makes sense to hold bitcoin over cash
3 - We’re still in the early stages of bitcoin adoption

33: We Are In A Bubble

Are we in a bubble? Mrugakshee and Keegan dive into this question from a couple different angles. A financial, or stock bubble is when prices are inflated past their inherent value. The bubble that inspired this episode, is a social bubble.
Bitcoiners feel a certain degree of alienation when it comes to their lifestyle. Mrugakshee and Keegan started wearing masks for COVID-19 with the Bitcoin “B” on it. When one person asked Mruga, “What does the B stand for?”, it made Mruga wonder - are we living in a crypto bubble?
