So, it's really truly, like, from a beginner, like, just starting out, I encourage a high pile of cash, like, you know, 6 months of income, up to 6 months of income.""But eventually, as we start to pour that money into assets, we want to still maintain a high level of liquidity because it's not only for, as you guys know, emergency purposes, it's for opportunities.""So as a business owner, if we invest all of our money, it's not still available in some way, then we have another business opportunity, whether it be in real estate, or the market drops, whether it be crypto or stocks, or another business acquisition or interest that we it comes up, we need access to money.""We're going away from the staking.

And I know Jacob and I Jacob and I have talked off air about that, and he has his theories, which I've, you know, taken a little bit of an ear too. But nonetheless, it should be interesting.""If nothing else catches on, there's so many great projects in this space. But if nothing else catches on, Like, that needs to be the thing for sure because it's it truly makes it instantaneous.""Resources:The Future of Fortunes PodcastConnect with Byron Wolfe WebsiteLinkedInConnect with Jake ClaverWebsite TwitterConnect with ...
