LEO Roundtable #14: Why Are the Masses Trading Stocks Instead of Cr...

This episode of the LEO Roundtable was a journey. We kicked it off talking about the stock market and how everyone and their mother seems to have become an overnight day trader.

From there, we talked about crypto adoption. Why are so many average people flocking to the equity markets to “gamble” with their extra time and stimulus money rather than going to crypto where they can work “against” the establishment and have an easier signup process (as opposed to opening a brokerage account).

Hive account@scaredycatguide (Mitch) posed a great question: is this an indication of the nascency of crypto and why mass adoption is further than everyone expects?

We then dive into some talk about social media platforms and consumption of media. We analyzed some options trades since we’ve all seem to fall deeper into the rabbit hole over the past several episodes. I showed off the Tastyworks platform and how I use it to analyze options trades before I enter a new position.

We ended the show analyzing cryptocurrencies: BAT & HIVE along with Ethereum and some talk about DeFi and Bitcoin.
