Business-related Interest
I have a great interest in business concepts and operations and recently developed the marketing strategy and a fellow alumnus and I co-authored the Business Plan for Atmosphere Group, Inc., a Burbank, CA, start-up seeking series A funding. Atmosphere will use its patented technology to compete within the "emerging vortex of entertainment, music, literature, and on-demand digital delivery." See the five below listed website URLs: 1-4 regarding patents, link 5 is Business Plan (select ‘Open’).
In addition to business concepts and operations, I also have an interest in financial investments, especially contrarian investing, and routinely monitor the major economic indicators and financial market indices and I also have an interest in the business applications of blockchain technology, and cryptocurrencies as an investment class or a proxy payment method for the USD.
My curiosity fuels research regarding the political, legal, and societal effects of: how the monetary policies of the US Fed and other central banks (QE, ZIRP) following the 2008 Great Recession combined with their converse monetary policies today ("QE tightening") may well result in a massive and violent reversion-to-mean in the value of most asset classes within the G20; the inherent risks in the massive global OTC derivatives market and the impacts of an OTC derivatives market collapse; and how the fiscal and monetary policies of the last decade will impact the future of the USD – will the USD maintain its existing reserve currency status, or will the USD "fail down”, or will the USD "fail up.”
