| 147 - How to give effectively | Luke Freeman & Rebecca Herbst | 18 Mar 2022 | 00:54:42 | |
Today Mathias talks with Luke and Rebecca about donating and philanthropy. Luke works for the organisation Giving What we Can” and Rebecca is already retired from her corporate career at WeWork and other companies. She is now teaching people part time about personal finance at Yield and Spread. Interestingly Rebecca is now giving what she earns in her side business to people in need. Today we want to find out why. Once you achieve a certain wealth, people often experience a strong desire to help others in need. Of course many of you are also giving before hitting that milestone right in your accumulation phase. Especially these days where millions are fleeing from war even in middle Europe. Something we really could not imagine some time ago. We already talked with Sebastian in episode 36 about effective altruism and want to extend the topic even further. So today: You’ll learn about the motivation behind giving, how to screen for most effective projects, the history and evolution of philanthropy and how Europe and the US are different in here. Don’t forget to apply for the FI Europe Retreat starting may where you can meet 25 ambitious and relaxed FI Europeans at the pool in the middle of the Spanish mountains. We talk about

| 146 - Holding Crypto Securely | Nick Neumann | 14 Feb 2022 | 00:58:21 | |
Hi FI Europeans, this is Mathias. In this episode I speak with Nick Neumann. He is the CEO of Casa a Startup from Denver in the US. today talk about the different security aspects of holding crypto and here especially Bitcoin as one of the more conservative plays in that field. The one important question you have to ask yourself when holding crypto is. Whom do you trust more: yourself or an exchange. So in the past your choice has been storing crypto on a hardware wallet and potentially losing the device or the password. Or you could have kept your holdings on an Exchange like Binance or Coinbase where you do not control the cryptographic key to the wallet. Casa is helping to make hardware wallets and self custody more resistant to human failure improving user friendliness and resilience. And by that it’s making crypto available for a broader audience and driving the evolution of the current wave of new financial services.

| 144 - Bitcoin basics 2: Bitcoin basics and tools to get started | David | 30 Aug 2021 | 00:47:35 | |
In the last episode, we covered the basics of the monetary system and history with David, a member of our community. Check out that episode if you haven’t already. Today in the second part we cover the basics of Bitcoin. Still many FI Europeans haven’t gotten their feet wet with crypto. If you like to start experimenting with it or you already started but haven’t thought about the basic concepts behind you might want to continue listening. If you’re already a pro you might want to skip the episode. We also suggest some simple steps and tools to start investing. Nevertheless I want to emphasize that there is no need to necessarily invest in BTC or crypto if it’s not your cup of tea you’ll be still fine. No need to have fear of missing out although the returns of the past years have outperformed the S&P 500 and Nasdaq. Check out also the PDF in the show notes with some how-to guides. As usual, this episode is no official financial advice. Your capital might be at risk. Links: ☝️ Get Davids beginner guide mentioned in the episode We talk about

| 143 - Bitcoin basics 1: Choosing right form of money to achieve Financial Independence | David | 24 Aug 2021 | 00:46:12 | |
Hi Fi Europeans, today I talk with David, a member of our community about cryptocurrencies and in particular Bitcoin. While you might not want to employ crypto to achieve your financial independence goals as it’s harder to predict the result compared with a diversified ETF-Portfolio. Some people already made a small fortune with their early crypto adoption and knocking at the doors of family offices asking for help to preserve their new wealth and transition to a more conservative and diversified approach. This is the first part of two episodes that is focusing more on what money is and how banks work with our money, how inflation works and it affects our Financial Independence plans. We think it’s important to understand the impact of the new types of money that currently emerge.
We talk - History and forms of money - Inflation - How the money system works nowadays - Attributes of money - House of money - Central Banks - Europe & Dollar 🤓 Full shownotes and mentioned links on our website: http://bit.ly/fieurope143 Links: ☝️ Get Davids beginner guide mentioned in the episode

| 141 - Investing in Real Estate via Syndications | Kris from White Fire Equity | 30 Jun 2021 | 00:57:19 | |
Hi FI europeans, some people are really good and a natural fit in building up and managing a bunch of properties. They like to interact with people, workers and other local stakeholders of their real estates. They dig deep into the knowledge domain of Real Estate and take the time. So much time that there is not much left to learn about other asset classes. Like me not everybody currently has the time and ambition to dig deep into DIY real estate investing and want a kind of managed solution. Additionally to these options there are also solutions where there is a lead investor and you can join them as a smaller fellow investor. They get your capital and you get their knowledge, market access and network of experts. Sounds too good to be true? Mostly the problems are in the details of course… so lets have a look. Today I will have another attempt to find a managed solution for real estate investments. I talk to Kris from White Fire Equity. He is an american living in switzerland. Let me know what you think in the comments on our website and in the facebook Group that you can find at financial-indendence.eu/community.

| 136 - Crypto Assets Update - New Applications and Infrastructure for 2021 | 08 Mar 2021 | 00:47:50 | |
Hi this is Mathias, In this episode we dive quite deep into crypto currencies and assets! Because decentralized financial systems will one day compliment or replace the current financial system. Decentralized technologies are also evolving and can fuel all kinds of non financial transactions, too. Like insurance policies, event tickets or investing in companies. And right now mainstream financial provider like paypal starting to adopt crypto currencies like bitcoin. Hedge fund managers like Peter Druckenmiller and companies like Square and microstrategy favor investing their company capital in crypto currencies. Conventional so called “fiat” currencies like Dollar and Euro are being diluted by the increased amount of “printed” money. As the popularity of crypto is increasing and slowly goes mainstream I would like our community to understand new and important concepts in that field and what new developments beyond Bitcoin are available or being developed. As I recently hosted a FinTech & InsurTech Meetup on that topic and invited some experts in that field I just republish the presentation that has been recorded in the meetup including the Q&A here in the FI Europe Podcast. The two speakers of the presentation are Oliver Thylmann and Sebastian Deutsch who are both serial Entrepreneurs. Oliver runs a company called Giant Swarm for cloud computing kybernetes cluster and Sebastian a web and app development agency. They will tell you more about their path in the beginning of the presentation If you are not familiar with crypto assets you might feel a little bit overwhelmed especially as the presentation is tailored to an audience for people curious about financial technology, business models and innovation. Feel free to skip the episode or just don’t try to understand everything at once but instead pick a few ideas, then do your own research and discuss your findings in our facebook group at financial-independence.eu/community. Let us also know what you think and what content you would like to see in the future.

Hello this is Mathias, today we talk about a topic we touched last time nearly year ago. I’m talking about P2P Lending. Some consumer loan companies have been in trouble and there have been delays in collecting the principal/interest also due to covid related regulation from governments. There have also been some scams with Envestio and Kuetzal and also with Grupeer with ongoing legal investigations. And still I think this asset class is going to stay - although the hype might be over. That’s why I talk with Tanel the CEO from Reinvest24 about their platform focused on property and what makes it stand out from the other ones, the involved risks and the general P2P Lending market situation.
