When The Game is Rigged: The Millionaire Mindset.

-
Image
Part 8. I have always wondered why the Rich seclude themselves to one area of city. Think Beverly Hills in Hollywood or ShunYi and ChanPing in Beijing, Mitte-Tiergarten or Grunewald in Berlin, Ternes and Monceau in Paris, Maitama, Abuja, Ajah and Lagos Island of the ever busy city of Lagos, then you should understand. These are different cities from different countries but they are all the same when it comes to the rich segregating themselves from the poor. Contrary to what you might be thinking, this segregation is not because of pride or contempt for the poor, many rich people now were sometime hustlers and impoverished. So belittling their days of humble beginnings would be a slap on their own face. They separate themselves because they have activated a strange thing called a "millionaire's mentality". Believe it or not there is a millionaire's mentality and the way it works not only baffles the poor, it irks them too. It's your...

When the game is rigged: The Players and The Spectators.

-

Part 7. The game of wealth can be likened to a football match. Twenty Two (22) Players are allowed to play for 90 minutes. Say for the substitution of both teams and few coaching staffs the majority of the stadium are spectators. It reminds me of the game between the old rivals Manchester United and Liverpool played on the 20th of October, 2019 at Old Trafford with much hype and how Liverpool have the edge and probably  the game will be the last of Ole Gunnar Solskjær coaching Manchester United. Too much of hype and prediction favouring Liverpool due to their form. Eventually, the game was played and it was a one all draw. After so much hyping and the likes... The take home from the story above is that the game has been played. The players either win or draw got paid. The spectators on the other hand, didn't get what they were wishing for. Spectators were left for the what ifs, analogy, scrutiny and many more... Like the football game, the game of wealth was desi...

When the Game is Rigged, You don't Have to Play by the Rules

-

When the game is rigged, you don't have to play by the rules. Once upon a time God created man on a earth filled with beautiful lush resources. To access this wealth, Man created an institution, a system of rules and regulations which determines and controls who had access to the wheels of this power. This institution is the financial market and like it or not, like a Magician waving his wand, it controls a chunk of your life. Money makes the world goes round, it's the wheel  of progress and when you gat no dime in your pockets, getting the basic life necessities becomes a World War. I haven't been in a war mate, but I know it ain't fun. Now how do you get money and sort out your finance? When you were in school you learnt that if you studied well and got a good certificate you would be set in life. Well, that's crap, isn't it. I believed that for a long time, I held on to it for ages. Not until I finished school and I enrolled into the school of ...

When the Game is Rigged, you don't have to Play by the Rules

When the game is rigged, you don't have to play by the rules. Since the start of time, powerful empires have risen through history. And the one major prerequisites for glory and power had always been a standard financial system. Be it Ancient Egyptian or Babylonia or even recently Rome, wealth have been the driving force that spurred these empires forward. They could command great armies, buy Calvary and acquire the state of the art technology that gave them an edge in produc tion, industrialization and warfare. Not taking anything away from the industriousness of these empires, a spark that ensured they stayed in power is they knew something other nations didn't. They knew that the game of wealth was rigged and you need not play by the general rules to win. Of course they preached about the real 'rules' of the game but then they played by the rigged rules that ensured their victory. That pattern has been carried into modern empires of America and China. ...

When the game is rigged: The Helping Hand

Part 4. It's July 1998, and we have reached the business end of the World Cup in France. France square it against current defending champion Brazil. Everyone knew what dangers posed by the Samba boys. It's not a fluke this nation has 4 winners medal to their name. And besides they had the deadliest attacker in the game, Ronaldo De Lima. In a charged arena, finally the whistle went for kick off. The French were on the attack from start to finish and they won their first trophy. Two goals from Zinedan Zidane and a third from Emmanuel Petit secured victory. Now why am I telling you this story? What's all this have to do with succeeding in business and life. Yes, hard working France won, big deal! They won their second trophy last year, what's the point? Yes, France won that trophy but its not that victory which is so important. It's the news that later emerged about how they won. In 2018 former UEFA president, Michel Platini, revealed how they ...

When the game is rigged: The Secret Formula

Part 3: Studies shows that it's neither the best products that sell the most nor the best boxer which wins every bout. Yes, hard work, persistence, perseverance, a fiery passion and an impeccable altitude are all factors of success but then there is something more. A secret formula which can turn everything, even a sows ear into a silk purse. Every champion knows that despite the fact that they got themselves to the edge of glory relying on being dogged and long suffering, real success wasn't achieved until they discovered the little piece of rare magic that transformed their efforts into victory. An African adage says...that thing which the Elder are using to eat their pudding is under the leaf wrappings... And they also say...If a child knows how to clean his hands, then he would eat with the Elders.... True victory can only come if you have discovered that the games of wealth are rigged and you would need an 'Elder' who deem you clean enough to '...

Bitcoin, Crypto and Banks: Economist Says It’s the End of Government Monopoly on Money

-
Image
Jeffrey Tucker, economist and editorial director for the American Institute for Economic Research, is calling out banking elites and governments for their long-standing monopoly on money, which has led to “world wars, depression and inflation, enormous government indebtedness, and the rise of leviathan states that learned to print their way to power and riches.” In a recent report, Tucker advises central banks and governments to stop meddling in the world of crypto — where they’re not wanted, not qualified and not going to succeed. But banks are hardly lying down and rolling over. They’re lining up solutions to kick Bitcoin and crypto to the curb, challenging the fintech startups that are vying to take away their monopoly and world dominance. Tucker addresses their central scheme to stop the competition: issue their own digital currencies. But a government-backed, central bank-branded coin would have nation-state borders and would live on a permissioned blockchain. It would ...
