Actor Ben McKenzie warns that new cryptocurrency legislation moving through Congress could weaken oversight of an already volatile industry and pave the way for another financial crisis. In his new documentary “Everyone Is Lying to You for Money,” McKenzie investigates the crypto boom and argues that the stakes for everyday investors are higher than ever.

If you wish to be part of the Money Matters series, please fill up this form: https://forms.gle/G3wwgpVjctRneyQv6

Money Matters is a series where I have conversations with normal people such as you and I, on your personal finance issues. It is important to note that I am NOT a financial expert, I am NOT SEBI registered, and I am NOT qualified to give financial advice. Everything that I say in these videos is purely through my own experiences.

So these videos do not offer any stock tips, or specific mutual fund recommendations or get-rich-quick schemes. I am not selling any product or service through these videos.
None of the brands that I mention in these videos have paid me to mention them, unless I explicitly say so (and I will say if the video is sponsored).

This also means that my advice may not always be the right advice. So incase I make a mistake, the best way to correct me will be to share your point of view in the comments, so that everyone can benefit from it.

I am not perfect, nor claiming to be either and would love to learn and grow. The idea is simply to help people with their finance journey and through their story try to help others who may have a similar story.

Kamlesh (name changed) is just 20 years old, a final-year engineering student who suddenly lost his father to a cardiac arrest. Overnight, he went from being a pampered child to the person responsible for his mother, his grandparents, and two outstanding home loans worth nearly ₹30 Lakhs. Because his father’s loans weren’t insured and the family didn’t have access to all digital documents, they are now navigating a financial maze while still grieving.

In this video, I help Kamlesh create a survival and growth plan. We discuss why you must sell non-performing assets to clear debt, how to deploy insurance and gratuity payouts into a mix of Gold ETFs and Nifty 50 for safety, and the critical importance of separate health insurance for grandparents. This is a stark reminder to all of us: life is fragile. Please, document your passwords, name your nominees, and ensure your large debts are covered by insurance.

Is Bitcoin’s price actually predictable? Physicist Giovanni Santostasi, Director of the Scientific Bitcoin Institute, joins Natalie Brunell to make the case that Bitcoin’s 15-year trajectory isn’t random speculation — it’s governed by a Power Law, the same mathematical pattern that describes city growth, internet adoption and even the galaxies.

Giovanni walks through what makes Bitcoin’s “fingerprint” different from every other asset, and why the Power Law points to diminishing volatility, greater stability, and a clear long-term price floor as institutions move in. He also addresses the hardest question: what would have to happen for the model to break?

If Giovanni is right, the path to $1 and $10 million Bitcoin isn’t a hopeful prediction — it’s a calculation.

Six figures by end of Trump’s term in 2028 is possible but not probable. Mid to high five digits is the more realistic target by then. Six digit XRP lands closer to 2030 to 2031. Million dollar XRP requires 80% of global GDP tokenized, AI agents proliferating at scale, and interplanetary commerce. Bitcoin went from $1 to $100,000 in 15 years. XRP could do it in half that time. Call it 2031 for six digits.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday said Americans’ increasingly perilous finances and rising prices aren’t on his mind at all as the months-long impasse over the Strait of Hormuz continues to fuel surging inflation and skyrocketing gas prices across the United States.

Trump made the shocking confession as he departed the White House for Beijing, where he will be feted by Chinese leader Xi Jinping at a state visit, including a lavish Thursday night banquet at the Great Hall of the People.

Asked about the continuing pocketbook pressures faced by everyday consumers as a result of the war he started more than two months ago, he told reporters: “I don’t think about American financial situation — I don’t think about anybody. I think about one thing: We cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon.”
