- Barter system, you give me a cow and I give you 100 kgs of rice (2/n)
- It was difficult to transact in fractions
- What if I want only 50 kgs of rice? I cant give you half a cow right?
- This is the prime reason for the introduction of smaller units of payment method we now call as coins (3/n)
- It was malleable & portable
- It was non corrosive, could be stored for a long time
- It was a perfect combination of abundance & rare
- Plus it was eye catching & visually appealing (4/n)
a) When paper currencies were introduced, it was decided that a country could only print as much currency as the gold reserves they have but this was withdrawn in 1971 bcoz of which the central banks could then print as much money as they wanted
(c) To solve the above problem, Bitcoin was invented. (6/n)
(a) It claims to be a Store of value (like Gold is) & a payment method (Like $ is) (7/n)
(a) Assume split wise. Friends go out, sometimes someone pays and sometime someone else. At the end of the year, there is a ledger mentioning how much does who owes whom. (9/n)
(c) Currently, banks do this verification when you transact through the bank. Banks maintain transaction record of credits & debits (10/n)
(e) But what can you do to decentralize? No banks, no NSE/BSE/CDSL/NSDL? To verify the transactions, you use computational work (replacing intermediaries (Banks) with computational work), let me explain (11/n)
(a) There are multiple computers also called as miners or NODEs are connected to each other on open source software (12/n)
(a) It is called Bitcoin Halving
(b) It reduces the bitcoin reward for the miners by half every time 2,10,000 blocks are verified (18/n)
(d) This is the bitcoin reward 4 solving the block & no new bitcoins after 2,10,00,000 bitcoin are released
(a) Altcoins - Anything other than a Bitcoin is called the Altcoin. Example – Ethereum, Cardano, Polkadot (20/n)
(c) Meme-Coins - Made for fun, have no logic. Example – Doge, Shiba (21/n)
(a) Blockchain is a brilliant technology & has multiple use cases in various industries
(b) But on Bitcoin, I am not sure if it will be able to replace paper currencies as a medium of transaction or gold as a store of value. (22/n)
(d) Altcoins with use cases like De-fi will evolve over time & we will talk about it in the next thread. Will also talk about the fancy around NFT's & Metaverse going forward (23/24)

Some investors feel that markets are trading at a PE of 27 vs 10 years historical average of 20 and a market-cap to GDP of 105 vs historical average of 79 and hence markets look expensive (2/n)
But, in such crazy liquidity driven markets, prices can move much ahead of the fundamentals & suddenly we start hearing commentaries of how the market is pricing in the earnings of FY 22 & 23 to justify the rally
If you r new to fundamentals, 👇 can help
Market PE at 40 and yet the market is not falling, why? Getting asked this question multiple times. Here's a thread covering \u2018very basic\u2019 premier on valuation for my retail investor friends.

Results for Q4 have come out very well but that is also because of the lower base effect of the last year.
Over the last many years, markets have corrected 10-15% each calendar year. Can it happen this year as well? Can very much and that can be a great entry point. Why? (4/n)
There are a lot of over hangs in the near term,
-Crude going up
-$ index moving up
-Inflation moving up
-COVID uncertainties
All of the above are –ve for markets & liquidity on the other side driving markets up, its impossible to judge the near term movement of the markets (5/n)

Fixed Income investment strategies
It’s a misconception that FD, RBI Bond, PPF etc have no risk. The reason we don’t see the risk in them is because for us, risk ONLY means loss of capital.

While index funds and ETF’s look similar, there are multiple differences you need to keep in mind before investing in either of them. Let me highlight the important ones

Pending RSI divergence on monthly chart which requires a dip under 13805 to get resolved.
But monthly RSI divergences can go on for years before the resolution.
Best case scenario will be panic dump over next few months. pic.twitter.com/hi67hMg9sZ

To me, the most important aspect of the 2018 midterms wasn't even about partisan control, but about democracy and voting rights. That's the real battle.

That suggests there is still SOME grassroots support for democracy that transcends
