Idealistic startup Argo Blockchain PLC, a mining company, is the first cryptocurrency-related firm to sit on the prestigious London Stock Exchange. In only its initial trading day, Argo raised $32 million, earning a $61 million valuation in the process. Mining Company Argo Blockchain PLC Rakes In $32 Million on the LSE At 16 pence per share, 156,250,000 shares sold, slightly over half of Argo’s capital has been booked, totaling $32 million, and that means the startup has a baseline valuation of $61 million now that it is listed on the London Stock Exchange (LSE). LSE has roots going back nearly half a millennium, and can currently boast of a market cap north of four and a half trillion dollars. Listing Argo gives crypto-related businesses a huge boost of legitimacy, and especially if all goes well.

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 ...

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.

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 '...

When the game is rigged: The Other Side of the Gap

Part 6. Between the poor and the rich, there is a gap that can't be jumped or swum. You can be the best in your field but if you don't come to this realization, you might remain mediocre all your life. If you don't believe me, lets examine Edison and Tesla. Nikola Telsa was one of the brightest mind of the 20th century. A winner of the War of currents. On a contract with Thomas Edison's company he recoiled the electric dynamo and created the A. C circuit. As if that's not enough, he postulated inductive electricity in which power can be beamed from masts, much like radio waves. Of course he did all of this but it's a shame, Tesla died in poverty. The reason? he didn't care about the gulf between the rich and the poor. Telsa was a scientist, not a businessman. He thought he could 'smart' his way through. He thought intelligence is the only factor of success and little wonder he failed. Thomas Edison on the other hand attended only...
