Price insurance includes products like futures and options. Traditional finance requires middlemen to administer price insurance products.

This episode provides a introduction into this topic, because it is not necessary for the common person to deeply understand futures or options. Understanding the spirit of a mechanism helps to identify a mechanism when it takes a new shape.

The Why of Crypto

HEX and ’Number Go Up’

For any investment, all most people ultimately care about is price. A phrase that summarizes this mentality is 'Number Go Up'. This episode I frame positive HEX characteristics with respect to the phrase 'Number Go Up'. I make a case why HEX is structurally positive for unit price and unit count without making price predictions.
In previous episodes, I have discussed basics about crypto, such as risks, terminology, and perspective. If you are unfamiliar with cryptocurrency, please listen to my early episodes titled "Risks and Warnings", and "What is Crypto?". Cryptocurrency is software, and it is the best performing asset class in history. Extreme price volatility has been the trade-off for that performance.
