Payments giant Visa thinks stablecoins could play a big role in the $40 trillion global credit market, the company said in a new report.
Visa’s new report doesn’t claim that on-chain lending will reach $40 trillion. Instead, it argues that stablecoin-based lending could open the door for traditional institutions to bring parts of the $40 trillion global credit market onto programmable, blockchain-based rails.
“For banks and financial institutions, this represents both an opportunity and an imperative to understand how programmable money is Continue reading

Gold & Bitcoin as Best Performers

Four plus years ago, LOTM moved to a barbell portfolio approach. Crypto/Blockchain (tech focused) and Gold & Silver (hard asset) are the two ends of the barbell. As the chart above shows we did a good job, though it was not Continue reading

Difficult Choices!

LOTM is heavily werighted in

  1. Crypto/Blockchain and Precious Metals. Both Sectors are HOT.
    BUT
  2. Energy and BioTech are starting to emerge from Stage 1, base building chart patterns, and move into stage two chart patterns. Do we sell some or all of the first group to position into the groups that “appear” to be leaving their basebuilding patterns?

Our answer is that we are reluctant to leave Crypto/Blockchain and Precious Metals, but – we have identified a few undervalued companies (multi-baggers In My Opinion) in the Energy and Biotech sectors that we really like at their current prices. Therefore we are beginning to slowly add some names in a soft Continue reading

Changes in the Let’s Make a Million$ Club

This account has been quite for awhile. Our Trade into Healwell AI has not worked the way we expected. Nothing wrong with the company – just seems to be a large over hang on the share price that needs to get off loaded. We not waiting as we see an immediate opprtunitity in Galaxy Digital (GLXY*) and SharpLink (SBET*) . See our recent email sent last week and our post to the website for our comments. I believe we will finish the calander year 2025 on a strong note led by gold, silver and crypto. The money supply is still expanding globally and especially in the USA. This sets the background as positive for Risk Equities.
Our perpformance has been laging our goal yet beating the market. In all probability we will return to Healwell AI (HWAIF*) in the future. They are doing very well at the company level, but have an overhang with the stock issues to deal with.
I also like DeFi Technology longer-term yet see a “need” for account performance. I think this can come from Galaxy and SBET. Therefore we added SBET* as a new position and added some shares to our existing position in Galaxy (GLXY*)
We are behind our goal of doubling the account annually. The move today is made with this in mind. In other related accounts that are more diversified, we still own DeFi Tech (DEFT*) and Healwell AI (HWAIF*).

  • The entire financial system is being put on-line.
  • Everything of Value will be tokenized (put on-line)
  • While AI will change the world, AI Bots will use and incorporate crypto and blockchain as its tool in automate (smart contracts). Appications using Crypto and Blockchain will literally explode.
  • Crypto & blockchains are now revenue generating assets – no longer just encrypted formulas that don’t do anything. Revenue falls under the wording of staking (lending), re-staking and valadating. In the future, AI Bots will be common Doers of Tasks that humans don’t need to do. Payment for these tasks will be in digital currencies (crypto).
