| 0:00.0 | This is Anthony Pompliano. Most of you know me as Pomp. You're listening to the Pomp podcast, simply the best podcast out there. Let's kick this thing off. Bill Perkins is an American hedge fund manager, film producer, and high stakes poker player from Houston, Texas. He specifically focuses on venture capital and energy markets. In this conversation, |
| 0:22.2 | we discussed the energy markets, universal basic income, how investing is a psychology test, |
| 0:28.0 | why Bill plays such high-stakes poker, and what the big idea behind his new book, Die with Zero |
| 0:33.2 | really means. I enjoyed this conversation with Bill, and I think you guys will as well. |
| 0:37.9 | Before we get into the episode, though, I want to quickly talk about our sponsors. |
| 0:41.7 | The first is Block 5. As many of you already know, I'm a huge fan of the company. I'm an investor |
| 0:46.7 | and a user. Today, they offer three products. The first is giving US dollar loans against |
| 0:51.5 | your crypto as collateral. The second is an interest-bearing account for your crypto deposits where you can earn up to 8.6% APY. And the third is allowing you to |
| 0:59.8 | buy or trade cryptocurrencies. These three products are important in helping people do more with |
| 1:04.6 | their Bitcoin, Ethereum, or stable coins. You got to check it out. As if these products weren't |
| 1:09.9 | enough, BlockFi also recently told their users they'll be launching a credit card in 2020 that pays their rewards in Bitcoin rather than cashback or loyalty points. |
| 1:18.5 | A Bitcoin rewards credit card not only sounds dope, but should help more people earn Bitcoin for their everyday purchases too. |
| 1:24.8 | BlockFi's been a longtime supporter of this podcast and I'm a huge fan, so go to |
| 1:28.7 | blockfi.com slash pomp to check them out. Again, blockfi.com slash pomp and there may even be |
| 1:35.6 | some discounts and surprises when you head on over to blockfi.com slash pomp. So go check it out. |
| 1:40.7 | Also, don't forget, I write a daily letter to over 45,000 investors about business, technology, |
| 1:46.1 | and finance. I break down complex topics into easy to understand language while sharing |
| 1:50.6 | opinions on various aspects of each industry. You can subscribe at pompletter.com, |
| 1:56.0 | pompletter.com or go click the link in the description. All right, let's get into this episode |
| 2:00.5 | with Bill. I hope |
