Bitcoin trail blazed the interest and development of digital money.

As a result, the drive for a cashless society with fiat currency being replaced with CBDCs is being pursued by an increasing number of countries.

Currently, that count is a worrying 130. The ultimate goal is a one world currency.

We discuss all of this with Aaron Day, author of “The Final Countdown, the People’s Last Stand Against Tyranny by Central Bank Digital Currencies”.

We comment on Grant Robertson and his new home at the University of Otago, and how higher education wrecks freedom.

And we visit The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.

Hello@drtomwaller.com

You all have been loving conversations around the current banking systems, CBDCs, crypto, and all the things, but I knew I had to have my good friend Oto on the pod to share his knowledge as well. Oto is a self-made millionaire in the crypto space and he's realized his true calling is to break down crypto and bridge the gap between the metaphysical and the practical aspects of abundance.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT:

• Oto's background, fun facts & red pill moment
• All things crypto & blockchain
• How Oto became a self-made millionaire
• True financial ownership with blockchain
• Debt ceiling & inflation
• What Oto does everyday for overall health
• Tartaria and giants

CONNECT WITH OTO
Oto grew up in Brazil with his family and came to the US when he was eight years old. When Oto turned 16 years old he started working for his family’s tax accounting business. After a decade of preparing tax returns, bookkeeping, and registering new corporations, he felt his life was headed in a different direction. When the 2008 real estate crash happened, and after losing over $120,000, Oto knew there was something more than what he was doing.  Fast forward, Oto got married & divorced, sold his house for a profit of $40,000, and gave half of that to his ex-wife. He put the other $20,000 all into crypto. He says this was probably the best decision he could’ve ever made in his life because over the next 3 years, it grew to a total sum of around $17 million.
