Prepare for the Bitcoin Halving |
Welcome to the first edition of the SPI-Club Crypto Currency Newsletter! In this issue, we’re diving deep into the world of cryptocurrency and exploring the fascinating concept of the Bitcoin Halving. Whether you’re a seasoned crypto investor, or thinking of dipping your toes into the world of digital currencies, this personalized newsletter aims to provide valuable insights into what drives Bitcoin’s price appreciation, and how to navigate the market cycles with greater confidence. Understanding the Crypto Market Cycles You’ve likely heard of the “parabolic” market cycles in cryptocurrency, where prices seem to skyrocket, and the crypto world takes centre stage in mainstream headlines. During these periods, portfolios often feel invincible, and everyone becomes a crypto expert. However, let’s take a step back and examine the broader picture to determine if these cycles are merely coincidental. If we closely analyse the historical performance of the crypto market, a pattern emerges. It typically displays three years of positive price growth followed by a year of downturn. This pattern has remained consistent since the inception of Bitcoin. With the upcoming Bitcoin Halving in April 2024, history suggests that 2024 and 2025 could be positive years, potentially followed by a correction in 2026. The Bitcoin Halving and Its Impact I previously discussed the Bitcoin Halving in 2023 and why it has such a dramatic impact on Bitcoin’s price. At its core, it revolves around the fundamental economic principle of supply and demand. The Bitcoin Halving is crucial in understanding Bitcoin’s value proposition as a store of value, setting it apart from inflationary fiat currencies. Inflation erodes the purchasing power of traditional currencies over time, often leading to financial hardship and instability in many nations. Bitcoin, on the other hand, has a mechanism to keep inflation in check — the Halving. This event, occurring roughly every four years, reduces the rate at which new Bitcoins are created, making Bitcoin scarcer and potentially more valuable in the long run. The Hidden Costs of Inflation Inflation has been likened to a crime against humanity, as history has shown us. From Germany in the 1920s to Zimbabwe in the late 2000s, runaway inflation has wreaked havoc on economies, leading to the loss of savings value, government defaults, and even the overthrow of corrupt regimes. This hidden tax on citizens underscores the importance of a technology like Bitcoin, which allows people worldwide to opt out of their national currencies and into a global currency resistant to hyperinflation. Bitcoin’s Role in Combating Inflation Bitcoin’s unique feature of a fixed supply of 21 million coins and a predictable inflation schedule through the Halving helps maintain its value. This predictability sets it apart from traditional currencies, which are printed endlessly by governments. As Bitcoin’s supply becomes scarcer, its price tends to rise, making it an attractive option for those seeking to protect their wealth from the erosive effects of inflation. Demand and Growth for Bitcoin and Crypto Demand for Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies is on the rise. Major financial institutions, including BlackRock, WisdomTree, Invesco, and Fidelity, have recently received approval from the US Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) for Bitcoin ETFs, attracting billions of dollars into the crypto markets and overtaking Silver ETF’s as the second highest “Store of Value” to Gold. Furthermore, the adoption of tokenization of real-world assets is gaining momentum, promising liquidity in previously illiquid markets and simplifying asset ownership and trading. Trading the Bitcoin Halving Cycle As the Bitcoin Halving approaches, prices are likely to rise. To capitalize on this, it’s crucial to prepare your portfolio in advance. Here’s a proposed checklist to ensure you’re in the best position possible before the Halving in April 2024:

SPI-Club 2.0 Launch – 22/01/2024 January 23, 2024
We are thrilled to announce the launch of SPI-Club 2.0.
New Exciting Additions
As part of SPI-Club 2.0, we are introducing a comprehensive Done For You Video Library containing seven How-to Guides. These guides are designed to empower our members with valuable knowledge, including financial strategies for managing risk, constructing a solid Financial Plan, setting up trading platform accounts, legitimate Tax Structures, and ensuring a smooth transition of wealth to the next generation.
For those seeking more personalized guidance, we are offering a three-month, one-on-one coaching program, “Done With You,” where we will help you establish and implement a tailored financial strategy, that if implemented successfully, guides you to Financial Independence for Life.
Crypto Currencies – Focus on 2024
In 2024, SPI-Club is set to unveil a series of updates and insights on Crypto Currencies, starting with this publication. Our goal is to demystify Crypto Currencies and Digital Assets, providing members with the knowledge, confidence, tools, and connections needed to enhance their investment portfolios.
Our primary focus lies in innovation and disruption, and we believe Crypto Currencies have the potential to disrupt and revolutionize the banking industry.
Investing in SPI-Club Picks that have the capacity to disrupt entire industries, including Crypto Currencies, can be transformative. For instance, consider the example of TESLA, a company that if you had invested $10k at its Initial Public Offering 13 years ago, would be worth approximately $2.4 million today.
Yet, TESLA a market leader in it various innovations has not reached Mass Market Adoption, hinting at even greater potential in the future.
In a world evolving at an unprecedented pace, Crypto Currencies are poised to play a pivotal role in this disruption. As of 2023, currently global adoption of Crypto Currencies stands at around 4.2%, with over 420 million users worldwide.
Notably, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has recently granted Spot Exchange Traded status to several reputable entities, further solidifying the legitimacy of the Crypto industry.
This means that as Crypto Currency awareness increases, there is a corresponding increase in the likelihood of additional Crypto Currency adoption.
Insights from Industry Mentors
I have personally chosen three mentors in the Crypto space: Michael Saylor of Micro Strategies, Raoul Pal, founder, and CEO of Real Vision Network, and Cathie Wood of Ark Invest. These experts are not mere speculators; they are committed investors who eloquently present the economic argument for Crypto Currencies and their journey towards Mass Market Adoption.
While there are numerous voices advocating Crypto investment on YouTube, these three leaders provide reliable guidance. To gain conviction, consider following them and reading our ongoing SPI-Club Crypto News updates.
Coins vs. Tokens – Understanding the Distinction
In the world of Crypto Currencies, it’s essential to differentiate between coins and tokens. Coins like Bitcoin and Litecoin are native digital currencies, operating on their blockchain networks. In contrast, tokens, such as Ethereum’s ERC-20 tokens, are created and hosted on existing blockchains, representing assets or specific utilities within an ecosystem.
Understanding the nuances between coins and tokens, and the protocols that govern them, is vital in this rapidly evolving landscape. We aim to equip you with the knowledge to make informed decisions and explore opportunities aligned with your interests and goals.
SPI-Club Crypto Model Portfolio
We’ve enhanced the SPI-Club Crypto Model Portfolio analytics to assist you in making informed investment choices. With analytics covering 18 Coins and tokens, boasting a combined Market Capitalization of over $1.3trillion, we will provide regular reports on their performance and market trends.
As of 2024, the SPI-Club Picks values range from +10.06% to -21.58%, presenting buying opportunities for those considering entry into the Crypto market.
In Conclusion
We encourage you to delve deeper into the world of cryptocurrencies, gain understanding, and trust our analytics that follow the smart money. As the market continues to evolve, stay resilient and adapt to its ever-changing dynamics.

Understanding Crypto Currencies & Manipulations – 20/08/2023 January 20, 2024
This week we’ve seen some volatility with bitcoin prices dropping from $28,000 down to $26,000, and it happened quite quickly.
If you’re a new investor into Innovation and Disruptive Industries, you might be concerned, which is why I have produced this Special Report to help ease any anxiety for new members.
SPI-Club is about education, some speculation, but more about strategy.
What is Going on With Bitcoin?
When dumb people do dumb things, dumb things happen to them. What I mean by this is, there are an enormous contingent of people in the bitcoin and crypto markets that employ out-of-control leverage for quick gains.
So, if you’re smart, or gathering experience and information as a SPI-Club Member, and you see these enormous leverage trades getting put on the long side on bitcoin, which is happening right now, you will see massive leverage being built up.
Smart savvy players observe that the innovative, disruptive equity markets are weak in some sectors, and Bitcoin hasn’t broken above $30,000 for a while, and this seems to be a line of resistance.
According to one report, I have no confirmation it’s true, 40,000 bitcoins have been sold. This has caused billion dollars in losses, over 175,000 individual traders who got liquidated over the past 24 hours.
This is the way trading works versus investing, however, we are investors with intergenerational portfolios, not traders, who are akin to gamblers.
If you’re a smart trader and you see there are a bunch of leverage longs that are getting liquidated, do you go in there and just aggressively buy their liquidations? No, the smart traders step back and let the liquidations hit the market, and then go in and start buying on the cheap.
Putting Opportunistic Capital to Work
This is what I mean when I say look after your liquidity and in uncertain times use long term liquidity for opportunistic opportunities, or sell high in your portfolio and invest low in the market. This is when you put opportunistic capital to work. Bitcoin at $26,000 is one of those times.
If you don’t have the aforementioned opportunity, then don’t worry about it. This is just another day in Innovation and Disruption, and especially Crypto.
So, if you’re concerned looking at the price of bitcoin, just don’t look at it as on any given day, we can wake up and bitcoin can be up 50% or down 50%, the same with Innovative Equities and you should not buy any asset that you are not prepared to invest further if it declines significantly. I refer you to my Communication on “The Power of Compounding”, dated 28/06/2023 in the members area.
What I want you to focus on is the larger picture of adoption, and that picture hasn’t changed.
I would not be concerned if bitcoin goes to $20,000 tomorrow or $40,000 tomorrow. The bigger picture is that we’re going to be trading for hundreds of thousands of dollars per bitcoin in the future as we start seeing more people come in. I bought my first Bitcoin at around $42K and it is safely tucked away in my wallet.
One of the rules of SPI-Club Membership is “you have not made or lost any money unless you are in cash, and if you have too much money in cash you are GUARANTEED to lose value”. Cash is for liquidity only, so you can stay in the markets when they become volatile.
Volatile markets is where the biggest potential gains are laid down.
Don’t get overly upset when we’re down and don’t get overly pumped up when we’re up. Understand that if you’re new to Innovation and disruption, pancaking over temporary values will do everything in its power to try to make you look foolish, you are not, as this where the well-informed savvy money is.
Volatile markets will try to get you to buy up the highs and it’ll try to get you to sell up the lows, and it will try to do that to you constantly. It’s just the nature of any asset that can change your life the way that this type of asset can, and the way that other assets have before, such as Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Google, Tesla, or Facebook to name just a few.
All these stocks have had massive volatility in the past where they do their best to make everybody look foolish, and then they just rip higher as they gain traction in their market on route to the holy grail of “Mass Market Adoption”.
Facebook/Meta is a prime more recent example going from $300 down to $90 last year, and then back above $300 this year. It’s the nature of these types of assets to have this level of volatility.
Facebook/Meta is up 51.42% Year To Date (YTD)
So regardless of what happensover the next couple days, weeks, or months, whether Crypto Asset values increase again or get worse, just take a step back, buy more or ride it out. Don’t look at the prices right now and stay focused on your lifetime strategy.
I wrote a News Bulletin that was published on the 14th of June this year entitled, “Is there Value in Rarity” helping members understand the opportunities of a Bitcoin Halving event that is due in 2024. If you need a confidence boost, I suggest you revisit it in the members area.
A big plus for Bitcoin in particular and the Crypto Universe is several prominent Fund Houses, Blackrock, Bitwise, VanEck, Wisdom Tree, Fidelity, Invesco, Grayscale and Ark Invest are applying to the US SEC for a Spot Bitcoin ETF.
Whether Gary Gensler, the former Goldman Sachs Investment Banker, who serves as the chair to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) likes it or not, the forces are stacked against him, and the forces for continued adoption of bitcoin are strong.
On any given day, the price of bitcoin can do anything, but time and strategy heals all in the Innovative Disruptive space. This is the same message I’ve been saying since launching Stein Private Investors Club.
The mantra remains the same. We’re still incredibly early with digital assets and I have reported many times on The Paperless Society and recently the threat of Central Bank Digital Currencies.
I invest a lot of money to remain on the cutting edge of what is moving and shaking the world and do all the heavy lifting of research and analytics to deliver a “Done for You” service, all you need to do is follow the guidelines and allow time to take you forward to a future fortune.
In closing the Special Report, only my second, I want to give you noticed of some additional significant changes and improvements are being planned for SPI-Club members that will be announced soon. This will be reported hopefully by the end of next week.
Best regards

SPI-Special Report – Your Financial Freedom is Under Threat!
Dear SPI-Club Member
Your Financial Freedom is Under Threat
Introduction:
The SPI-Club Special Report discusses the increasing global adoption of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), following the success of the digital yuan launched by China during the 2022 Winter Olympics.
CBDCs poses a real threat to your financial privacy and in this special report we outline strategies to protect wealth and profit from the CBDC trend.
China’s Digital Yuan Rollout:
China’s success in promoting the digital yuan by offering incentives to citizens, resulting in over 140 million registered e-CNY accounts in just 17 months. This has motivated other countries, with 114 nations exploring CBDCs and 11 already having launched their own, including Jamaica, Nigeria, and Saudi Arabia.
Advantages of CBDCs and the FedNow Program:
CBDCs promise faster settlement times, increased ease of use, and potential mass adoption by unbanked individuals. The U.S. government’s FedNow program aims to speed up transaction settlement and plans to develop digital dollar infrastructure.
CBDC Threat to Financial Privacy:
We are raising awareness of concerns that CBDCs could lead to increased government surveillance and control over financial transactions. It emphasizes that a digital dollar could allow the government to monitor every aspect of citizens’ financial activities and potentially restrict access to funds.
Protecting Financial Privacy:
To safeguard financial privacy and wealth, this report offers two main strategies:
Bitcoin: The original cryptocurrency offerssome privacy features due to blockchain technology, allowing users to transactoutside the CBDC system’s surveillance. We suggest storing the majority ofbitcoin holdings in a digital wallet rather than on a crypto exchange.
Physical Gold and Gold Royalties: Physical gold acts as an an anlogue version of bitcoin and preserves wealth over time. Gold royalties, such as Sandstorm Gold (SAND), provide exposure to higher gold prices without the operational risks associated with mining.
Opportunities to Profit from CBDC Trend:
Fidelity National (FIS): A company involved in building infrastructure for the FedNow program, which aims to enable real-time payment systems.
Stellar (XLM): An open-source, decentralized blockchain net work designed for asset issuance, making it well-suited for potential CBDC implementations.
Conclusion:
This SPI-Club Special Report emphasizes the global rise of CBDCs and the potential threat they pose to financial privacy. It recommends strategies to protect wealth and profit from the CBDC trend, offering investment opportunities in digital assets and companies involved in CBDC infrastructure development.
We suggest members diversify their wealth and prepare for the inevitable rise of CBDCs.
The significance of China’s rollout of the digital yuan during the 2022 Winter Olympics and its impact on global adoption of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) should not be underestimated. CBDCs, while solving certain financial transaction issues, also pose threats to financial privacy.
CBDCs are on the rise globally, with the U.S. government moving towards launching its own digital currency through programs like FedNow. It may not be possible to entirely escape fiat currencies, SPI-Club Membership provides options to avoid unnecessary taxation, while protecting wealth from traditional financial systems and government intrusion.
We have added investment opportunities with our analysed statistics to our Model Portfolios.

Understanding The Power Of Compounding is Crucial to Exponential Investment Performance! – 28/06/2023 July 20, 2023
Dear SPI-Club Member
Alerting Members to The Value of investing in LOW-PRICED Investments
Welcome to the latest edition of SPI-Club News! In this newsletter, we will explore the exciting potential of compounding when it comes to investing in under-priced investments that have become dislocated to market values.
In our everyday lives, we often search for bargains, when buying cars or homes. Surprisingly, a similar mindset is frequently over looked when it comes to building investment portfolios. Today, we want to shed light on this overlooked strategy and share one of many compelling examples we are monitoring, particularly after the recent savage Bear Market.
During this market downturn, many share prices have become oversold, and are very significantly undervalued, therefore providing opportunities that we may never see again in our lifetime!
Let’s take a closer look at the power of compounding in the context of investing in undervalued equities.
Compounding is simply the process of steadily adding to your portfolio to compound gains over time. Although compounding can be applied to investments of any value, our focus today is on the value created during the Bear Market of the past two years, which is throwing up opportunities to buy at low values unlikely to be seen again in our lifetime.
I have created a list that is exclusively available to SPI-Club Members illustrating the potential of the most dislocated opportunities and firmly believe Savvy Fearless Investors have the potential to make significant fortunes in this environment.
There are 9 opportunities with an upside potential to their recent all time high ranging from 1,050% to 14,443%
These opportunities do not come around often. E.g., On 12th May, I sent a Trade Alert to SPI-Club Members when I personally added to my exposure in TuSimple Holdings at $0.80 per share. The stock reached its all-time highest price on 30/06/2021, approximately 24 months ago, around the time the Bear Market began its sell-off, leading to increased volatility. Volatility can be your friend if you have a personal strategy, stay committed, and equal weight your portfolio either quarterly, half yearly but at least annually by adding new money or taking from your top performers and adding to the bottom performers.
When it comes to building an investment portfolio, inexperienced investors often gravitate towards stocks with recent upward momentum. They assume that higher-priced stocks offer greater potential for growth. However, this approach overlooks the hidden opportunities presented by undervalued stocks, which can hold immense potential for compounding growth.
Another common mistake made by inexperienced investors is they sell when a share falls instead of taking a longer-term view and buying more shares reaping the benefits of discounted prices. You should not buy a share that you are not prepared to add to if the market value reduces significantly.
The power of compounding should never be underestimated, especially when it comes to low-priced investments. By adopting a mindset that seeks out hidden opportunities with undervalued equities, investors can tap into the compounding effect and generate significant wealth. This is typically achieved over the long term, but sometimes, if a share or sector performs exceptionally well, luck of timing can come into play, and the timeframe can be much shorter.
For instance, in the above example, TuSimple has gained over 200% in value since the Trade Alert on 12th May, please note in the example above the up side potential when returning to its all-time highest price 24 months ago has reduced by 5,645% because the share price went up 273.75% in just under 6 weeks!
You should not “bet the Farm” on the strategy of buying undervalued stocks, but a % of your portfolio, with a sensible spread, just may produce some staggering winners.
We hope this edition of our newsletter has provided you with valuable insights into the potential of compounding with low-priced investments.
Warmest regards

Does the Certainty of Artificial Intelligence Reduce Investment Risk? – 24/06/2023
Dear SPI-Club Member
Investing in Therapeutic & Bioscience Innovators
SPI-Club Model Portfolio Analytics
There are 9 investment picks in the Bioscience and Therapeutics sector and the average upside across the 9, based on their all-time highest share price, is plus 1,192.42%.
It is worth noting that the all-time highest share price for 7 of the 9 Picks was achieved between December 2020 and November 2021. The Bear Market struck around February 2022 and many believe we are now at the beginning of an at least 10 year Super Bull Market, the like we have never seen before, due to the pace of innovation, and I concur.
However, you have to be in to win!
Go to the SPI-Club Innovative and Disruptive Model Portfolio in the Members Area. I have changed the analytics to help members in their selections for their portfolios. See for yourself, if you need help, email me.
Investing in new innovations comes with risk, but if you are financially ambitious with the goal of becoming Financially Independent of the need to generate further earned income, the greatest risk is not taking a risk, as cash and deposits will disappoint.
My Question for you is;
Does Artificial Intelligence Technologies reduce investment risk and speed-up the development of innovation in Therapeutics and Biotech?
I say absolutely yes! Let us know what you think after reading below.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a significant role in adding value to research and development (R&D) in the Therapeutics and Bioscience industry. Here are some key areas where AI contributes:
Drug Discovery and Design: AI enables the identification and design of potential therapeutic compounds. Machine learning algorithms can analyse vast amounts of data, including biological, chemical, and clinical data, to predict the properties and behaviour of molecules. This accelerates the process of screening and identifying promising drug candidates, reducing the time and cost involved in traditional methods.
Virtual Screening and Target Identification: AI algorithms can efficiently analyse large databases of molecular structures and identify potential drug targets. This helps in prioritizing and selecting the most relevant targets for further investigation, increasing the efficiency of the drug discovery process.
Predictive Analytics and Modelling: AI techniques, such as machine learning and deep learning, can analyse complex data sets to identify patterns, predict outcomes, and model disease progression. This aids in understanding disease mechanisms, patient stratification, and treatment response prediction, facilitating personalized medicine approaches.
Clinical Trial Optimization: AI can optimize clinical trials by improving patient recruitment, selecting appropriate patient cohorts, and identifying potential safety issues. By analysing diverse data sources, including electronic health records, genomics, and real-world data, AI algorithms can enhance trial design, reduce costs, and expedite the development of new therapies.
Image Analysis and Medical Diagnostics: AI algorithms can analyse medical images, such as MRI scans, CT scans, and histopathology slides, to assist in disease detection, diagnosis, and treatment planning.

What is Therapeutics & Bioscience?
Therapeutics is a branch of medicine that focuses on thetreatment and management of diseases, disorders, and injuries. It involves the use of various therapeutic approaches, such as medications, procedures, and interventions, to alleviate symptoms, promote healing, and restore health. Therapeutics encompasses a wide range of medical specialties and disciplines, including:
Pharmacotherapy: The use of drugs and medications to treat diseases. This includes prescribing, dosing, and monitoring the effects of drugs on patients.
Physical Therapy: The use of physical techniques, exercises, and interventions to restore physical function, mobility, and manage pain. Physical therapists may use modalities such as massage, heat, cold, and electrical stimulation.
Occupational Therapy: Focuses on helping individuals regain and improve their ability to perform daily activities and tasks, such as self-care, work, and leisure activities. Occupational therapists may use adaptive equipment and assistive technologies.
Speech Therapy: Also known as speech-language pathology, involves theassessment and treatment of communication disorders, including speech,language, voice, and swallowing difficulties.
Psychotherapy: The use of psychological techniques to treat mental and emotional disorders. Psychotherapists help individuals explore and address psychological issues through various therapeutic approaches, such as cognitive-behavioural therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and interpersonal therapy.
Radiation Therapy: The use of high-energy radiation to target and destroy cancer cells. It is commonly used in the treatment of cancer to shrink tumours and prevent their growth.
Gene Therapy: An experimental approach that aims to treat geneticdisorders by introducing or modifying genetic material within a person’s cells.It has the potential to correct genetic defects and restore normal cellularfunction.
Alternative and Complementary Therapies: Various non-conventional approaches, such as acupuncture, chiropractic, herbal medicine, and mindfulness-based techniques, which are used alongside or instead of traditional medical treatments.
These are just a few examples of the broad scope of therapeutics. The field continually evolves as new treatments and interventions are developed and refined to improve patient outcomes and well-being.
Bio Science; also known as life science or biological science, encompasses the study of living organisms, including their structure, function, behaviour, interactions, and processes. It includes various disciplines such as biology, biochemistry, genetics, pharmacology, and more.
Therapeutics, on the other hand, is the application of scientific knowledge and techniques from bioscience and other related fields to the treatment and management of diseases and disorders. It involves developing and utilizing therapies, medications, and interventions to improve health outcomes in patients.
While therapeutics relies on a strong foundation of bioscience knowledge, it also incorporates other aspects such as clinical research, drug development, and patient care. It combines the understanding of biological systems with clinical expertise to develop effective treatments and interventions for various medical conditions.
So, while therapeutics draws heavily from bioscience, it is a distinct field that focuses on the practical application of scientific knowledge to improve patient health and well-being.
Happy investing and best regards.
