Asset Allocation: Cash
In the antifragile asset allocation module, Cash allocation is the first asset class. The cash allocation is pretty straightforward. In this video, I will tell you my recommendation about emergency funds and cash allocation. Market crashes actually play a healthy role in the economy because they help correct mistakes, which transfers capital away from those that have managed it poorly and which clears the way for more effective capital allocation.
02:14
Asset Allocation: Precious Metals
Precious metals are golden silver, they take the form of coins and bars, and they are the only asset that is not also someone else's liability. Precious metals have a hedge against fiat money, debt, inflation, and currency crisis which makes them the most conservative piece of your portfolio.

It is important to note that you should never store your precious metals in a bank vault.

08:29
Asset Allocation: Bonds
In this lesson, we will talk about bonds. The absolute first thing you need to understand is that bonds are not the ultra-conservative asset they are presented to under current economic conditions. Bonds are very exposed to inflation risk. It is especially advised to have independent personal analysis at your disposal when purchasing bonds. Bonds can be a powerful part of your asset portfolio, but only if you are patient and buy them correctly.
04:14
Bonds Part 2
Bonds are not the generalized conservative investment that conventional finance says they are. If purchased recklessly, bonds are risky in the current economic conditions, but bonds actually have several advantages over stocks as an investment vehicle. Bonds can be a powerful investment if purchased correctly.

The blockchain powers the network.

05:32

At the end of this video, you'll see that getting started with bitcoin Is very easy.
04:13
Beauty of Bitcoin

I will also demonstrate the functionality of bitcoin for you.
38:24
Asset Allocation Example
We are going to wrap up our discussion on asset allocation by looking at a hypothetical module. Starting out, it will likely take you some time to structure your asset so that they match your target allocation module. Be patient with this process. Quality is much more important than quantity when it comes to building an asset portfolio. Also, you will need to adjust your module as economic conditions in your personal circumstances change over time.
01:58
Alternative Investment Examples
In the previous section, we discussed the merit of asset allocation. In this video, I will share with you some alternative investments worthy of your consideration. These investments will exist outside you're your asset allocation module but shouldn't be ignored completely. These Alternative investments could include livestock, artwork, collections/hobbies, etc.
04:45

We started by understanding money and its properties, and then we looked at each class of asset allocation strategy. We also discussed some alternative investments that are worthy of consideration to insulate you from financial catastrophe.
01:54
Financial Escape Velocity
This lesson is about financial escape velocity. The idea here is to develop scalable income streams outside of traditional employment and let investments compound for decades like starting a family business, freelancing, consulting, online sales, etc. By the end of this course, you would have learned how to increase your income so that you can rise above the political and economic risks brought by the mountain of debt and liabilities.
08:44

Joe Withrow

Finance Expert

Joe Withrow began his career in finance in the corporate banking arena. He started out on the ground floor, working the night shift at one of America’s largest banks. That’s when the grunt work got done. After the 2008 financial crisis, Joe moved into loss mitigation. He spent the next two years working to contain the contagion and clean up the bank’s loan portfolio. This is where he began to see how the Federal Reserve and monetary policy have a direct impact on average Americans. A few years later Joe moved into commercial lending, serving as a credit risk analyst. And he went on to manage a multimillion-dollar portfolio in the special assets division of another one of America’s top banks. Then something strange happened in 2014. That’s when Joe discovered Bitcoin. He instantly became an early adopter and a vocal advocate for digital assets. That’s because he realized that Bitcoin would become an invaluable part of every serious asset allocation model. It was just a matter of time. And that prompted Joe to walk away from corporate banking entirely. He made the leap into independent investment research. Since then, Joe has spent his time studying the world of finance, economics, monetary policy, and the burgeoning digital assets space. He tracks the markets daily. And he has developed a unique investment philosophy as a result. That led him to write a book and produce courses to convey what he has learned.
