    63 - Bitcoins vs Shitcoins explained

    63 - Bitcoins vs Shitcoins explained

    In Todays Show, off the bat Joe calls Bitcoin Maximalists Arrogant. Aaron explains the fundamental difference between Bitcoin and Shitcoins. And why maximalists are so passionate about the quest to separate money from state. This was supposed to be our 1st anniversary show. However Joe had other ideas and took the show into Crypto, Fiat Money, Inflation in Turkey and ended up discussing the idea of the metaverse.

    61 QR's, Crypto and Digital salons

    61 QR's, Crypto and Digital salons

    Todays Show, off the bat Joe gives us an immediate update of his Crypto Portfolio. He has invested £300 in an altcoin and is mesmerised by the Number Go Up (and Down) technology.

    The pair share some ideas about the future of Salon 2.0 Aaron stumps Joe by calling him Ed Balls. Can you believe Joe didn't have a story about him. We ask the question how many QR's in the salon would be overkill? Joe says everything in the salon should be For Sale. What do you think? Does Point of Sale work in the salon.

    Do customers engage with the new tech? Do it the old way or create something new? that is the question. What marketing does your salon use? Does it work?

    Regulator Watch - LinkedIn Fracas
    The Hair & Barber Council & Salon Owners United David Drew and Collette Osbourne have joined the racket!
    They want to be gatekeepers of the rules and regulations. It's in their interest to make as many rules as possible. They are taking part in an campaign of divide and conquer. Why do they want to start a campaign to blame an individual for others failing salon businesses? Why punch down? Surely you should be focussed on what sinister plot the government have planned for the industry.

    The idea that a young person who is starting on their hair and beauty career is responsible for Established salon businesses going under is absolutely ridiculous.

    Under the bus.

    Joe throws Marcus Rashford under a bus. The boy should be playing for England and instead is embroiled in politics. Sport and politics should not mix. His form has suffered ever since his tweet about school lunches. I bet Fergie would not be pleased.
    Sajid Javid - Is Aaron's choice. The man is a prize hypocrite. We have a clip where he gets very triggered in an interview with Kay Burley. He is essentially making 100k nurses and Doctors redundant and in the same breath saying its to minimise risk and protect the vulnerable. What a clown.

    60 Losing Pounds £ Gaining Bitcoin

    60 Losing Pounds £ Gaining Bitcoin

    Todays Show, Joe and Aaron share stories that prove their is some wisdom and prophecy in some of the things they say. Joe predicted many months ago that Emma Raducanu's head had been turned and that her form would suffer. Eddie Jones the England Rugby coach has said something similar and has been on the receiving end of clog from the twitterrati.
    We talk about the news that one of the giant industry names (Trevor Sorbie) has swapped it's reputation & quality control for survival in the industry. Does this give legitimacy to freelancers across the country and does it destroy the professional bodies plan to get everyone registered.

    You would expect the mainstream media would report on a riot happening in the middle of parliament square. The revolution will be ignored by them. But least David Ginola will be in the jungle this year. Keep being distracted sheeple.

    Aaron shares a great way to get off zero bitcoin without it costing you a penny. - scroll downwards

    Important This is not financial advice - You are an adult. You can do what you want.
    I have figured out a way to get actual interest on your current account.
    This is a hot take.

    By using the link you can get $25 in CRO tokens (which can be converted to BTC or GBP)
    In the UK you can get a visa card which is linked to this account.

    Whatever your disposable income is each month. Move this money into Your Crypto.com account every month. And when you want to spend it, use the Visa card and get a further 1% crypto cashback.

    LINK HERE
    Click this REF code - https://crypto.com/app/2jsf3z9knb

    STEP BY STEP guide (below)

    Set up a standing order into this new account.
    convert the GBP into BTC or ETH while in the account.
    Watch the value go up measured in £ - (BTC last 5 yr *CAGR is 244%)
    Apply for a visa card via the App and whenever you need to spend its a one button way to withdraw from the crypto into you GBP account. 

    WHY?
    We are in a very high inflation environment and cash left in your current account will lose 10/15% of it's purchase power over the next 2 years.

    59 Climate Change Clown Conference

    59 Climate Change Clown Conference

    Todays show is about The Con26 ahem, The 26th Conference of Parties—hence, COP26—takes place in Glasgow between Oct. 31 and Nov. 12. It's an event for all the world's most powerful hypocrites fly private jets into Glasgow to lecture us on how We are destroying the planet. The shear effrontery of these civil servants should not be ignored. 

    More misery for London Salons ?

    Joe gives us his 3 positive takes takes from Rishi's Budget.

    Joe & Aaron discuss the Essex Hairdressers event that featured Paul Falltricks & Edward Hemmings. 

    Aaron inspired by Boris Johnson's tweet.

    "I’ll be asking world leaders to take action on coal, cars, cash and trees – to keep alive the prospect of limiting global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees." He throws Boris & the queen under the same bus for ignoring the creeping totalitarian state and joining in with the distraction of this climate change clown conference. The truth is like Covid Denial, their is no money in Global Warming denial.

    The media Fear Porn continues, If Covid doesn't kill you then climate change will, so shut up slaves and hand over your cash. 

    Sleepy Joe Biden living up to his name again by sleeping through the conference. 

    **competition winners**

    The Second pair of tickets to the Essex Hairdressers event on 1st November have been won by Demi Patmore and Elise Hubbard
