Basecamp for Men E271: The Real Estate Implications of BTC

E271: The Real Estate Implications of BTC with Special Guest

Leon Wankum

 

E271 Introduction

There seems to be a parallel timeline running. One one track is the destruction of the old guard with all the old, corrupt systems. Fueled by endless money printing that debases your purchasing power more and more each and every year with no end in sight.

In many ways the WHOLE SYSTEM has been plugged into this matrix. You see it everywhere you look. The media reflects it, the health care system reflects it, the education system reflects it and the governments of the world perpetuate it to benefit the oligarchs, institutions, and politicians closest to the money printer. For the rest of us, life is just getting more and more expensive.

Then suddenly, Bitcoin entered the story and everything looked, well, different. For those that start storing value in Bitcoin, everything is getting CHEAPER. Yep, you heard that right. Cars are cheaper, vacations are cheaper, and houses are cheaper. As in each and every year, things are getting more affordable for Bitcoiners. Kind of mind-blowing isn’t it? Why is that? Well, because there is true scarcity as in there will only ever be 21 million bitcoin. Even as the adoption curve continues to climb and more and more companies and nation-states hold more and more of it, there will never be more than 21 million.

There are some people that have plenty of fiat money and don’t care about things getting cheaper. They can afford whatever things are going to cost. But for LOTS OF PEOPLE, life is too expensive and this creates an enormous amount of stress. People are losing time because they have to work so hard. Are you following me?

Bitcoin allows you freedom. Freedom to work less, freedom to imagine a different future, freedom to enjoy more of your time because costs are coming DOWN for you and your loved ones. It’s a compelling argument, isn’t it?

How will this impact real estate and home ownership? I’m glad you asked! My guest today is a thought leader in the areas of real estate and Bitcoin. One of the only people I know of with such an expertise. How will Bitcoin (other than making houses much cheaper for you to buy), impact the housing and commercial real estate markets? Let’s go have a chat and find out. Enjoy the episode.

The American Pulse E8: Balancing Optimism with Discernment

E8: Balancing Optimism with Discernment with Special Guest Janell Hartman

 

E8 Introduction

Hello listeners and thank you for tuning into The American Pulse.

There has never been, in my lifetime, a more polarizing character than President Trump. There are those that love him, those that hate him, and lots people that stand in between.

I saw a recent poll (I can’t remember who conducted it) that said that 90 percent of Republicans agree with the direction the administration is taking us and 4 percent of Democrats approve of the direction.

There has never been a more stark divide of WE THE PEOPLE. I hear and see plenty of evidence in and around Seattle of how scared the left is. I don’t listen to much leftist media anymore but by chance I was listening to one of Steve Bannon‘s podcast episode to get his take a something and he always plays a few minutes of what Rachel Maddow and CNN and MSNBC are saying. You can hear how much fear they are drumming up in their dwindling viewership. Everything they say is a black pill meant to create fear, aversion, loathing, and distrust in those that are ingesting this stuff.

Who wants to feel that terrible all the time? Why would you? Trust me, there’s a better way.We are all going through these changes together and I don’t know about you but I am attracted to the path that is visionary and uplifting and gives us a roadmap of a higher plane that all Americans aspire to, regardless of politics.

These are the times that call us to be more courageous. To let in inputs and information that we have been told to fear. It is, as I have mentioned many times, a COLLECTIVE Hero’s Journey. I wish you Godspeed.

My guest today is a dear friend, podcaster, and an independent thinker who has been watching this narrative war as closely as I have. Enjoy the interview.

Basecamp for Men E270: Freedom, Sunshine, and Steak

E270: Freedom, Sunshine, and Steak w Special Guest Ben Wehrman

 

E270 Introduction

One of the things that we have been tasked with, you and I, is to consider and, when appropriate, to adopt new ways of seeing things. We have been given so many false notions in so many areas: gov’t, education, media, and health, for instance.

The best we can do, imho, is to keep an open mind. Continue to look for ideas and people that uplift and inspire you. For they are your fellow travellers in this great awakening we are experiencing.

Humanity seems to be emerging from the fog of deception. Our antennas is getting more sharply attuned to Truth. The more the Truth comes to Light, the more confident we become in our path and in ourselves and one another.

What are some of these new ideas that are emerging that can help elevate us? We will cover much of this and more today with a man that I have had the great fortune to connect with. This could easily be two men sitting around the campfire talking far and wide about our shared future.

Before we get to the episode, I wanted to read two memes for you that I think will help tee this one up.. One from my guests website a quote from the writer Timothy Ferris: 

“ The specialist spends decades making incremental improvements, while the curious generalist consistently measures improvement in quantum leaps.”

And finally, one from my own website. “Truth is also seeking the Seeker.”

Enjoy the episode.

Ben Wehrman Bio

My guest today is Ben Wehrman. Ben is a fellow seeker of truth, a photographer, a digital nomad, writer and podcaster. Here is my interview with Ben Wehrman.

E270 Final Thoughts

I hope you enjoyed that conversation as much as I did. I love it when I am learning new things and new perspectives from the guest in real time. I will be experimenting with this carnivore diet. Just need to figure out when and what that looks like. Might need to get some buy-in from my wife to really make this a do-able experiment. I will keep you posted. Thank you Basecampers and we’ll see you around the fire next week.

The American Pulse E7: Our Neighbors Awaken

E7: Our Neighbors Awaken

 

E7 Introduction

Hello listeners and welcome to The American Pulse. It is great to have you here with us today. Today is a short little episode with our sponsor, a short piece of news and a song! We are early in our creative process with The American Pulse and trying some different ways of delivering something valuable to you. Knowing that we are all bombarded with content. We are hoping to find something that is short but impactful. Let’s get right to it with a word from our sponsor and this short offering.

There is a local story here that I wanted to share with you along with some of my thoughts on it.

There was a local Democrat leader Jessica Roberts, a transgender woman (meaning, of course a man posing as a woman), who was unanimously elected to the local Lynnwood city council. Well, they didn’t do their due diligence very well as it quickly emerged that Jessica had some dark fantasies that she posted on Reddit. What were they? She graphically describes fantasies of killing and dismembering women and also of eating children while people watch. Yes you heard that right.

Why am I telling you this. For all of the independents and Democrats who have finally had enough.

As a fairly new Republican myself, I want to welcome you with respect and appreciation of your courage for we know how difficult it can be to break away from the herd. Many of us did the same thing. It’s truly a Hero’s Journey and we honor wherever you are on your awakening.

To finish, here is a song of optimism for those that have had enough of the madness. This song harkens back to my own journey. When I looked around at the insane ideas that we being foisted up us and made a choice to reach for a more positive and uplifting narrative.

If you like the song, go download Wake Me Up by Avicii on I-Tunes. And we thank you for tuning into The American Pulse.

 

Basecamp for Men E269: Climate Facts Over Climate Fear

E269: Climate Facts Over Climate Fear w Special Guest Dr. Michael Karbowski

 

E269 Introduction

One of the great things about being alive right now is watching all the false narratives start to hemorrhage and bleed out. It is starting to dawn on more and more good humans that we have been lied about about damn near everything. All of the most sacred cows have not and will not survive the litmus test that is simply truth.

Isn’t that just amazing? The most dizzying maze of lies that we have been sold and told to believe are shown for all the world to see as an emperor with no clothes. We all sensed there were lies but we needed to be shown the truth to really know for ourselves.

Which brings us to the climate narrative. If you are a Gen Xer or a Baby Boomer, see if any of this sounds familiar.

I have heard throughout my life that humans were causing planetary harm and certain extinction of our species along with all of the others. When I was a kid, it was acid rain, remember that. Acid rain was going to kill us all. Wasn’t true.

Then it was the ozone layer. We were damaging the ozone layer so much that we would be lucky to see another decade at most. Wasn‘t true.

Then it was Al Gore and the inconvenient truth that the polar ice caps were melting, rapidly raising sea levels and this was spelling doom for all of us, especially in coastal areas. Not true. Not even close.

Then you had Global warming. That would CERTAiNLY be our end. Nope. Not true.

Since they can’t sell melting ice caps and global warming, let‘s just call the whole thing Climate Change. That way, no matter what happens, we can say “see, it‘s climate change” and be right about something. Oye vay.

What IS clear is that this non-stop doomer narrative creates fear and lots of money on the backs of taxpayers for the endless NGO’s or Foundations like the Gates Foundation that are pushing (and enriching themselves) off of the climate narrative.

To the point, if they are noisy about the climate, you can bet they are grifting off of our backs and don‘t want us to look at science lest we call them out for what they are: opportunists with an agenda that suits them and not WE THE PEOPLE.

We are going to get into all that today with a retired doctor who has done a deep dive to look for (and find) the facts about climate change. Enjoy the interview.
