Welcome to Episode 585 of The Traders Podcast. During this show, your hosts Rob Booker and Jason Pyles begin by talking about labels and the human tendency to worry about the way people perceive us, based on our propensity to label one another. Rob asks why there is sometimes a negative stigma associated with the word “trader.” What about the label “cryptocurrency trader”? In Episode 585, Rob talks about a cryptocurrency trade he took in the middle of the night and the results of that trade. He also touches on some of the fascinating characteristics of cryptocurrencies, especially of late. Rob also mentions his new book, “The Complete Guide to Day Trading Cryptocurrency,” which you can get by visiting RobCoin.com . Thanks for listening to The Traders Podcast.

Will reading a bunch of books and obtaining academic knowledge about the markets guarantee that you will become a more profitable trader? We believe that everybody knows the answer is, “Not necessarily, and in many cases, probably not.” Most people understand there’s no guarantee. So, the real question is why? Why doesn’t the acquisition of knowledge yield an equal, one-to-one benefit? In Episode 581 of The Traders Podcast, your hosts Rob Booker and the producer Jason Pyles talk about blazing your own trail instead of just trying to do the same thing everyone else is doing.

Yep, you read that right. As has become a Christmastime tradition on The Traders Podcast, your hosts Rob Booker and the producer Jason Pyles are musing about Bitcoin again. And in fact, it is here in Episode 579 that Rob explains his ambitious albeit late-to-the-game plan to go all in on Bitcoin. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who is typically amused by Rob’s shenanigans, because he explains his cryptocurrency plans for the next 12 months!

Though it may seem unusual, Episode 578 of The Traders Podcast isn’t as bizarre as you might think. Sure, Jason the producer plays a sample from his rap alter ego, “J-Flexx,” and your host Rob Booker briefly talks with J-Flexx about “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” (don’t worry — no spoilers!). But really, that’s pretty typical stuff for The Traders Podcast, all things considered. What makes Episode 578 special is a listener feedback text message from Louis, an insightful, 21-year-old steel mill worker in Texas. Louis doesn’t want to work his physically taxing job forever, so he asks Rob for some advice regarding getting started with trading robots! Thanks for listening to The Traders Podcast.

Thanks, in part, to the long-suffering influence of Traders Podcast listener, Talon, your host Rob Booker recently moved from the Mac platform back to Windows for trading.

You hear about surprising developments such as Rob giving up his iPhone X and starting to read the Bible again. Rob doesn’t preach any scripture, but he talks about the clarity he has gained from spending less time on his phone. Thanks for listening to The Traders Podcast.

In Episode 576 of The Traders Podcast, your host Rob Booker talks to the producer Jason Pyles about a text he received from Paul, who works a full-time career as a pilot. Because Paul travels on long-haul flights, it proves to be difficult for him to monitor his trades. Many currency traders complain that they can’t trade as their full-time job because they already have to work a non-trading-related full-time job and can’t be distracted by devoting their time and attention toward the markets. But that’s where automated trading can be helpful. In Episode 576, Rob talks about some of the finer points of robot trading. Thanks for listening to The Traders Podcast.

Movie Podcast Network Twitter: @MovieCastNetwrk Full Episode Transcript: Rob: Mr. Pyles, I got a text message from one of our listeners. Jason: Oh, did you? I love when the listeners text you at your personal phone number. Rob: All right. So years and years and years ago, like when we were doing trader radio. Jason: Mm-hmm. Back in the day. Rob: A hundred years ago, one of our listener's name was Paul. I won't give Paul's name, but one of our listener's names was Paul. Paul's a long haul pilot for Delta. London, Paris, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Beijing, Dublin, Honolulu, Japan. Now, Delta doesn't fly to Houston, so I don't get to see him. Well, he texted me the other day. I haven't heard from him in just years. He texted me. Now he's doing a route from wherever. I don't know where his home base is now, but Salt Lake and also Honolulu, which is just awesome stuff. Anyway, he's like I'm getting back into it. Here's what he writes, he writes, "Hey. I just grabbed your lifetime membership deal. I've known you for a long time. Have you lost your mind? That's a lot of value. Thank you. Looking forward to getting some time with you between flights. I need to fly less, help my folks, and help my family. One of my family members has an issue with vertigo. Plus I'm going to retire someday. Wouldn't mind cutting that retirement short. Move to Florida a few years ago from Long Island. Hope's all well with you. My cousin is near to you in Houston and she works in mission control maybe we can go on a tour of a lifetime if I go over there." Jason: Oh, nice. Jason: Lots of updates there. Rob: How would you handle trading if you were a pilot and all these long haul flights? I remember talking to him about this. Jason: Oh, my. Rob: Way back when. Like how difficult it is to juggle flying, trading, all that stuff. Jason: Well, I think there are two ways to handle it. At least two that I can see, Rob. It's have a trusted trading partner for when you're in the air, or to use a stop loss, right? Rob: Yeah, that's a good plan. Jason: Okay. So those are probably the boring answers. I bet you have a more exciting way. Rob: No, I love your answers. I love it when you comment on this stuff. Jason: Okay. I know because it's like ... Rob: I love it. I'm in the process now a year plus ago,

We’re not really known for being conspiracy theorists, but in Episode 575 of The Traders Podcast, your host Rob Booker and the producer Jason Pyles discuss the continued meteoric rise of bitcoin and whether it is the target of North Korean hackers.  Thanks for listening to The Traders Podcast.

Movie Podcast Network Twitter: @MovieCastNetwrk Full podcast transcript: Rob Booker: Mr Pyles. Jason Pyles: Hey Rob. Good morning. Rob Booker: I was wondering if you would like to travel to North Korea to teach the people there about bitcoin? Jason Pyles: Probably not. Rob Booker: Probably not, so that's a no? Jason Pyles: Well ... Rob Booker: That's a hard pass? Jason Pyles: Well, yeah, I'm not sure. I'm not sure. What kind of other vacationing opportunities do they have there? Rob Booker: Well, they have a ... Okay nothing. Jason Pyles: Okay. Rob Booker: Really nothing. Absolutely nothing. There's nothing going on. Did you know, according to Vice News, David Gilbert of Vice News reports that students at Pyongyang University, has been accused of training North Korea's state hackers. All right? Jason Pyles: Oh. Rob Booker: The university and the government invited Federico Tenga, who is the Italian founder of a bitcoin startup, they invited him to travel to the capital in North Korea and teach more than three dozen of the countries elite mathematical and programming students about bitcoin. Jason Pyles: Sounds comical for some reason. I don't know why. Rob Booker: Okay. Okay. Fair enough. It sounds comical. Here's the part that's frightening. This is the world's leader, I mean, next to Russia. This is the world's leader in hacking. Bitcoin has shown itself susceptible to hacking. Could you imagine now, a world in which, now that bitcoin is reaching 10,000 or so ... Could you imagine a world in which all these people, over 100,000 new bitcoin accounts were opened on Thanksgiving day at Coin Base. Just one wallet. Just one wallet provider. Just one place on one day, grew by 100,000 accounts. Could you imagine if bitcoin was, in some way, shape or form, at some wallet provider, hacked again. I know I'm gonna get a lot of comments from listeners, cause every time we talk about this, I get corrected and that's fine. I stand corrected on a number of issues regarding bitcoin. I'm not afraid to be wrong. It helps me learn. Could you imagine the potential to hack into bitcoin wallets. We're now talking, not about millions, but tens of millions, or hundreds of millions of money that could be stolen. This is the wild west, Jason. Jason Pyles: Wow. It sounds crazy. Rob Booker: Why would this guy travel to North Korea, and teach them about it? Jason Pyles: Hm. It must of- Rob Booker: What's wrong with this guy? Jason Pyles: It must have a pretty good paycheck, right? Rob Booker: Must have been. It must have been some kind of payday. I imagine they paid him in bitcoin. Jason Pyles: Right. Exactly. Rob Booker: I mean, I don't know.
