What is Money?

In the first installment of this saga I call a series of lectures 🎓, I went over the evolution of money, starting all the way back from the bartering system to fiat currency. I discussed what exactly inflation is and how investing and compound interest can help grow our wealth to combat inflation. 📈 This week's session was more of a brief overview before I dive into what exactly investing is in our next session.

Value Investing

This week, I covered the difference between value investing and speculating using the story of a simple apple farm. 🍎 I showed how stable earnings can matter more than the daily fluctuations in price and why real wealth comes from steady growth 🌱 and not rapid trading. Have fun watching!

Case Studies of
3 Luxury Houses

In week three, I covered the basics and essentials of stock selection by analyzing quantitative and business fundamental data in detail. 📊 I examined 3 companies, all in the luxury sector: LVMH, Hermès, and Kering. I analyzed these companies and demonstrated their significant differences in things like brand diversification, growth patterns, and revenue breakdowns—you get the idea. This is a pretty fun episode, so sit back, relax, and enjoy the show! 🍿

Basic of Blockchain

For week four, I hosted a crash course on blockchain technology and cryptocurrency. 🔗 I talked about blockchain’s structure, its immutability, and its security. 🛡️ Seems a little unrelated? That’s because I needed to cover this so everyone could understand the topics of discussion for the next few weeks which all revolve around cryptocurrencies and blockchains. It’s pretty technical but still interesting so have fun watching!

Bitcoin: Decentralization, Value, and Future Potential

During week five’s session, I discussed Bitcoin as a decentralized system for transferring value. We covered peer-to-peer transactions, proof-of-work, and mining. ⛏️ I also touched on Bitcoin’s environmental impact 🌍 and proposed the hypothesis that it could be digital gold, with potential adoption by governments and institutions on the horizon. 🏛️
