-----
This week the worlds second largest crypto exchange, FTX, collapsed due to borderline fraudulent management and investment practices. The collapse was the largest example of such a collapse, albeit just one of many instances of fraud in the crypto community.I think its very important that everybody with investments, even non-crypto investments understands what happened to this company and I will do my best to give you everything you need to know about this collapse, so far, because it is rapidly evolving and circumstances may have changed significantly when you watch this video.Investors will lose billions in this collapse, and that itself is terrible, but I think it highlights a much larger issue, which is the personal finance influencers that are directly responsible for directing hundreds of thousands of their viewers to make investments that will harm their long term financial wellbeing.I am not just talking about FTX either, yeah sure this is one incident, and maybe nobody could have seen it coming, but it’s just the tip of the iceberg and people are going to keep loosing their money because of bad advice they received on the internet.So it’s time that people like Graham Stephan, Andre Jihk, Meet Kevin and the dozens of other influencers in the personal finance space got called out for the harm they are doing their audience.I don’t want to start YouTube beef or anything here, I think these guys could do a lot of good for their audience if they reversed some really bad practices they have started making in recent months. Bad practices that are probably going to blow up in their face in more ways than just this FTX disaster.So it’s time to learn How Money Works to understand what went wrong with FTX and understand how you can personally tell when someone you think you can trust on the internet is telling you to do something that is not in your best interest.#ftx #finance #cryptocurrencyEdited By: Andrew GonzalesMusic Courtesy of: Epidemic SoundSelect Footage Courtesy of: Getty ImagesFor sponsorship inquiries, please contact sponsors@worksmedia.groupFollow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.

That is the THIRD eight figure property purchase the Amazon founder has made in Miami in just the last 12 months. But the billionaire migration to Florida is making even Jeff's two hundred million dollar portfolio of properties look downright modest. According to the New York Post, Citadel Securities CEO Ken Griffin has purchased SEVENTEEN oceanfront estates, some worth as much as a hundred million [$100,000,000] individually.He is now knocking them all over to make way for one for one single beach house for his retirement, that is estimated to be worth more than a billion dollars once complete. None of these billionaires are native Florida men, but it’s not the sand and the sun that’s bringing them down there. So why are billionaires scrambling to get into Florida all of a sudden? While other parts of the country are cracking down on billionaires and their extravagant lifestyles, Florida is trying to make itself the perfect hideaway for them and their money.According to the LA Times the Mayor of Miami actually personally courted Elon Musk encouraging him to move his primary residence and businesses to the city. South Florida WANTS to be the perfect place for you to live… IF you're extremely wealthy. Miami has always been a popular destination for the ultra wealthy to spend their summer vacations. According to data collected in a study by the global wealth management firm Henley and Partners, and compiled by Visual Capitalists, Miami is the most popular vacation destination for the world's twenty five thousand [25,000] Centi-Millionaires.Those are people with a net worth of one hundred million dollars or more… In the past most of these ultra high net worth individuals would return back to their REAL jobs in REAL cities like Seattle, New York, San Fran or LA. BUT NOW they are moving to Miami for good, and they are doing it for three surprising reasons.The first reason is that Florida is a safe haven for wealth.But using Florida as an asset bunker is just the first reason, so it’s time to learn How Money Works to find out why so many Billionaires are desperately rushing to make Florida their home.Follow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.

Peter Turchin is a complexity scientist, who mathematically models the statistical dynamics of historical societies.
He coined the theory of “Elite Overproduction”.
He argues in his books and papers that societies make workers just like they make anything, a car goes through a factory, and a college graduate goes through a few decades of schooling. At the end you get something you can drive around in and something that can make pivot tables in excel.Follow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.
