gmfrens everyone!
Let me suspend for a while my supposed-to-be second article on The Way to Financial Freedom Part 2 and give way to crypto and economics-related content. I decided to do it this way to submit an entry either to the Economics Writer Quest or in the Crypto Writer Quest or to which is more suitable as part of the Zealy campaign. To achieve this, I revisited the articles I published in June of 2022 about the Eurodollar market. In this post, I want to refresh myself on the insights I gleaned from the first chapter of the book, Eurodollars and International Banking, edited by Paolo Savona and George Sutija. Moreover, after giving an overview, I also intend to reintroduce some lessons relevant to the crypto space.
To accomplish the above goal, let me share first what @taskmaster4450 keeps saying about the relationship between the Eurodollar market and cryptocurrency. In fact, outside of Hive and the Leofinance community, I never heard of the Eurodollar market. It was my first time, hearing about the subject as I entered the crypto space in July of 2021. He keeps reminding us that for us to understand the character of cryptocurrency, we should first understand the Eurodollar market that provided its very backdrop.
At the outset, what I found fascinating is that I received a confirmation from the so-called authority figures in international banking that indeed the operation of Eurocurrencies is “outside the jurisdictions of national governments.” This is an insight that I never stumbled upon reading books on economics, of course except the current one under study.
Another startling discovery is the admission that the Eurodollar market is not a separate “banking system,” but an extension of the banking systems of major countries. Hence, the name “international banking” and “offshore banking” have been used to describe this market.
As such, the Eurodollar market plays a significant role in international finance due to the financial innovations it created and its impact “on domestic banking systems, on domestic monetary policies, . . . on inflation, interest rates and the distribution of credit” (p. 43).
Now, how did the Eurodollar market originate?
The birth of the Eurodollar market was associated with a certain “Dregasovitch” (p. 27) and its earlier names were diverse such as “Embark dollars,” “Continental dollars,” or simply “foreign market dollars” (ibid.). The first transaction happened in 1957 when Moscow Narodny Bank issued an $800,000 loan through a London commercial bank (ibid.). As such, in that year, “a new and original, international money market in short-term dollars and other currencies emerged in London” (p. 28).
A few of the unique features of the Eurodollar market include interbank huge transactions, basically unregulated, and “receives funds from everywhere to make loans to everywhere” (p.32). The clients involved in the market are commercial banks, central banks, transnational corporations, and some very wealthy individuals. Reserve requirements are not strictly implemented, which logically results in the expansion of loans. Transactions are secret and taxes are lax.
For Rene P. Higonnet, the presenter of the first paper, the above qualities spell huge problems. He identified the Eurodollar market as primarily responsible for the existing crisis in international finance due to the absence of accurate information, easing of strict banking practices, impulsive and unsound banking policies, and evasion of responsibility on the part of central banks.
To address the problems caused by the Eurodollar system, the proposal is to come up with a stricter form of regulation and supervision of Euro banks. Such a proposal entails better accounting practices, regulation of foreign lending, and supervision of all offshore banking centers. The responsibility to implement such a proposal will fall into the hands of an international committee of wise men selected from central bankers, commercial bankers, and economists (p. 43).
And so that’s the overview of the article I published in June of 2022.
Let us now turn to the lessons we can learn based on the foregoing information that is relevant to the crypto space, and I just want to mention three:
First, we learn from reading such a brief background of the Eurodollar market that it is indeed outside of national jurisdiction and unregulated. Cryptocurrency is simply following such a path. The identified characteristics are shared by both the Eurodollar market and cryptocurrency.
Currently, we now see nations that are pro-crypto and nations that are anti-crypto. The main issue is regulation.
As the record shows, national governments failed in implementing this task to regulate the Eurodollar market for 65 years. Will they be successful this time in regulating cryptocurrency? What do you think?
As far as authorities on international finance are concerned, what we know is that the pro-regulation group is in the minority, at least as far as the Eurodollar market is concerned.
The second insight has something to do with the importance of the Eurodollar market in international finance. Many of the features found in the Eurodollar market can also be seen in cryptocurrency. In the current status of the latter, we admit that in terms of size, the crypto market is still very small compared to other financial markets. Nevertheless, in the area of innovation and distribution, I think cryptocurrency deserves credit. As to its long-term influence on both national and international banking, monetary policies, and inflation, we still have to wait and see.
Last but not least is the difference and resemblance between the two regarding stability and volatility respecting fiat currency. Even advocates of cryptocurrency are divided concerning this issue. Some think that the explosive growth happening in cryptocurrency is a threat to destabilizing the world of legacy finance. Others opine that such growth is insignificant due to the gigantic size of traditional finance. From my perspective, I see it as a threat and that’s why the regulation voice is getting louder but I firmly believe that from a long-term standpoint, cryptocurrency will introduce abundance into the global economy. The only difference is that it will no longer be exclusionary just as what we have right now.
Grace and peace!

### Introduction:
Change they say is constant, even though it is a very difficult process. Chelsea FC performance this season was below their expectations, despite the new owners huge investment. Hey buddies! Iam @eberechi. Today, let's talk about an exciting topic in the world of football today: Chelsea FC's ownership change and how it affected their performance this season. Despite investing over £600 million, the team faced some challenges. Please follow me as I explore what happened!


### The New Owner and Investments:
Chelsea FC, a famous football club based in London, went through an ownership change recently. A new owner, someone who invests money into the club, took charge. The new owner was determined to make Chelsea FC one of the best clubs in the world. To achieve this goal, the new owner invested a massive amount of money, over £600 million, to buy new players and strengthen the team. They brought in talented footballers from all around the world, hoping to improve the team's performance and win trophies.


### Challenges and Team Adjustments:
Although the new owner invested a lot of money, it's important to understand that football is a team sport. Building a strong team isn't just about buying individual talents; it also requires teamwork, strategy, and time for players to gel together. When new players join a team, they need time to adjust and get used to playing with their new teammates. This process can take some time, as players need to understand each other's style of play and develop good chemistry on the field. Sometimes, this adjustment period can affect a team's performance, especially in the short term.


### Competition and the Importance of Balance:
In football, every team faces tough competition from other clubs. Even with significant investments, success isn't guaranteed. Other teams also spend money to strengthen their squads, creating a highly competitive environment. While Chelsea FC made substantial investments, it's worth noting that success in football isn't solely dependent on money. Building a successful team requires a delicate balance between skilled players, effective coaching, and a clear game plan. It's not just about having the most expensive players but also about how well they work together.

### The Role of Time and Patience:
Building a strong team and achieving success takes time. Even with substantial investments, it's important to be patient and give the players and coaching staff time to develop and improve. Rome was never built in a single day, as the old saying goes! Sometimes, teams go through transitional periods, which can affect their performance. New players need time to adapt, the coaching staff needs time to implement their strategies, and the team as a whole needs time to grow and improve.


### Conclusion:
In conclusion, the ownership change at Chelsea FC brought about significant investments and high expectations. However, success in football is a complex process that involves more than just spending money on new players. Teamwork, strategy, and time for players to adjust and develop chemistry are crucial factors.

While Chelsea FC faced challenges this season despite their investments, it's essential to remain patient and allow the team to grow. With time, dedication, and continued support, Chelsea FC has the potential to achieve success in the future. So, let's keep supporting our favorite team and cheer them on as they strive to reach new heights!

Let me start with my first article on Financial Literacy. This is the topic I delivered in one business community sometime in November 2021. I will not do the whole piece here all at once. It will be too much even for me. So, what I will do is just cut that old presentation into several pieces and update them into separate articles of at least 1,000 words each hoping that the piece will qualify for the Finance Writer Quest in Zealy Campaign.
My topic at that time was The Way to Financial Freedom. Others might rename it as Financial Security, but I would rather stick to my old title.
Not a Typical Article on Financial Literacy
At the outset, let me warn you, that it is not a typical article on financial literacy that you can read out there. Yes, some content might be familiar to you, but the biblical and theological foundations would be something that many would find surprising.
I have been searching for so long among my colleagues for this type of material, but I might be looking for something that might not be in existence or if somebody is doing it, perhaps, it is still in its infancy stage.
As a theological educator, I hope you pardon me, I cannot go on discussing something in the air as if you and I understand the same thing in the same way without first explaining where I am coming from. That provides the context and somehow facilitates better communication even in written form.
From a broader spectrum, I would say that I am coming from a Judeo-Christian point of view. I believe in God the Creator and I also believe that he did not abandon this world, even though many would find such a belief ridiculous in the face of numerous contradictions we are in today.
Given such a standard, I cannot talk of financial freedom without delineating first my source of information. Yes, I respect our common humanity. We are all the same in the eyes of the Creator whether we believe that He exists or not. That to me is given.
And the Creator I know did not leave us in the dark about the issues we are facing today. Theologians and Bible teachers like me may do, and churches too, but not God. He has given His Words and our task as humans is to examine the claims of God in this matter as revealed in His words. Of course, there are disagreements in dealing with current issues and that should be accepted given the reality of human limitations. They only become a shame on our part when we fail in our duty to make the message clear due to confusing voices from among us who claim to represent Him.
Before I leave my apologetic tone and go straight to my topic, I want to raise another point about the nature of the writing project. I recognize that to some extent my insights are premature and a little bit forced particularly in shifting from biblical history to the contemporary world. I still need to learn a way how to do it. So, if you can forgive me for such an offense, let me now go straight to our topic.
A Hypothetical Situation
In introducing our theme, let me begin with a hypothetical situation, that might be true for someone out there. This situation is about the possibility that a person can be amid vast opportunities that surround him, and yet he could not see them. Big changes are happening right before his nose, but he could not see them simply because he lacks the necessary tools or prerequisites to give him the capacity to appreciate and be grateful for what’s going on around him.
What I mean by tools is the necessary preparation of the mind and of the soul. The mind is prepared by relevant and solid information. This kind of information turns into knowledge once it is utilized to bring change.
The other kind of preparation is more difficult because it is how we respond to the lessons of life, whether as someone would say, we would either be better or bitter. Such a person can only be prepared if he has undergone a painful experience in life that one conference speaker describes as a “mind-blowing, soul-shaking, and seemingly world-ending experience.” I see such emotional preparation as very important for that person to see what’s going on around the world.
What COVID-19 and the lockdown did to us is to provide such kind of preparation. Responses vary to the current challenges that we are facing right now. Some just gave up and gave in to depression. Others just succumbed to fear and got paralyzed not knowing what to do. Others turned hopeless and no longer see a bright future ahead of them. But still, others see a different kind of world, a world filled with threats and at the same time opportunities.
Financial Freedom
In this article, as I share with you our topic about The Way to Financial Freedom, I just want you to keep this hypothetical situation in your mind. In the subsequent articles, we will return to it. For now, let us start by providing first a definition of financial freedom. What do we mean by this vision? What is financial freedom by the way?
I first heard this idea way back in 2009 among attendees of wealth courses conducted by a Filipino Chinese business community. Financial freedom for us is a vision of a future financial condition of a person or a family when his/their passive income exceeds his/their monthly expenses. This is a simple definition that I think many are familiar with.
Passive Income
A follow-up question is appropriate. What is passive income then? Again, this definition is common.
Passive income is different from active income. Active income is either the salary that you earn while working or the profit that you gain while doing small business. Passive income on the other hand is an income or profit that you gain without working for it. It is also called “money or a system working for you” and that’s what I see Hive can do for us if everything works out as I expect. Of course, I recognize that in new technologies like blockchain and cryptocurrency, nothing is certain.
In traditional finance, your money can work for you by way of investing in stocks, bonds, and other related financial products. But you can also lose money investing in these products when the market is in a downtrend. Investing in these vehicles requires understanding the general trend of the market, whether bearish or bullish.
I think that’s it for now. Again, I apologize if you find anything in this article not suitable to your taste, but that’s me, and I can’t deny myself.
In our next article, I will be writing about a biblical history that will somehow provide us with lessons to give us guidance on how to achieve this vision of financial freedom.
Grace and peace!

LeoFinance utilized zealy.io in launching a campaign with the aim of mass adoption. Whether our understanding of the word “mass” is the same as in the mind of the development team, is another question. Let us just take the plain meaning of that goal without going into a debate about whether that is achievable or not. If the goal is just to achieve 5,000 Monthly Active Users, I think that is more realistic and if that is what is meant for mass, I am fine with that.
Now, in launching this campaign, those of us who participate in it are given quests to complete. One of these is labeled under CYOA-Finance Bro. Sixteen quests fall under this category. They are as follows:

Info for Bros
Finance Writer
Business Writer
Economics Writer
Crypto Writer
FinTech Writer
Politics Writer
SEO Lion
Hive Journalist
LeoVerse Journalist
Bitcoin Journalist
Ethereum Journalist
EVM Journalist
Blockchain Journalist
Alpha Hunter, and
Final Boss – The Finance Bro

I forgot how did I accomplish the first quest. As for the remaining quests, I find them very challenging. With my background in financial literacy, I can write about finance. Economics too would be an easy topic for me. Though I didn’t earn any formal degree in this discipline, I read a lot about representative economists from the Austrian School such as Ludwig von Mises, F. A. Hayek, Ron Paul, and Tom Woods. As for business, that’s not my field though at one time I wrote a research paper for someone taking a master’s degree in business while I was still writing at oDesk around 2009. There, I learn how to write SEO articles. But you know, any skill that is not utilized for quite some time, you will soon forget it and in the end, you might lose it. That’s also what I feel about thesis writing.
There was a time in 2006 when writing a thesis was easy. I thought that just using the same method I used in my master’s thesis, I can write one thesis every two to three months. But after several years of not utilizing the skill, simply writing a term paper now is quite difficult for me. I am now taking my Ph. D. in Intercultural Studies and we are done with the first three courses last February, but until now, I haven’t started yet writing our research papers. One is due on 31st May and the other two are on 31st July.
Returning to the above quests, crypto, and fintech is also not easy, but I can try. Politics, though controversial I can also try this, but please don’t be mad with me if we don’t share similar political persuasion. I am more inclined toward classical liberalism with its view of free markets, sound money, limited government, and low taxes. These ideas are unpopular these days due to the dominance of Marxist and socialist ideologies in the academe.
SEO, I can also try that. I just need to review how to find those keywords to write about. As for the six journalists’ quests, oh! I need more guidance on how to do it. The last two, Alpha Hunter and Final Boss, I am clueless.
I think that’s it for now. In the next post, I intend to continue what I started here and that is I want to break down a 5,600-plus presentation I did in November 2021 into separate articles as entries to complete the zealy quests.
Grace and peace!
