Zoom Call 7.11.23 Margaret Rome Getting Unique Homes Sold On The Radio
The Zoom call this week was special as it was done by Margaret Rome, and the presentation was done exactly as she does her Radio program, unscripted.
As she started her presentation, I was immediately reminded of the sitcom. Frasier, on which a psychiatrist waited for the first call to set the tone of the program. Unlike that sitcom, Margaret has no assistant and if she doesn't speak, there is dead-air, and she must fill the void until her next commercial break. She gets 3 pauses over the hour.
She also stressed … (27 comments)

As many more responsible people will do, he had no credit cards and chose to pay his … (14 comments)

NFT Tokens and Crypto
I must first apologize as the zoom call this week was a topic to which I have no familiarity and even my notes where hard for me to appreciate and understand after the call.
From the Internet, I got this definition of NFT:
An NFT is a cryptographic token, but unlike cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin and many network or utility tokens. NFTs are not mutually interchangeable, i.e. not fungible.
From the call I was able to glean that NFT's are a manner of investing similar to the way one might buy stock or commodities, except it is all done online, and it is truly a matter of … (27 comments)
