Hey Everyone!
I'm Lennart, and new to Steemit so I thought that I would introduce myself. I'm a bit of an odd duck, but my family members and closer friends have been pressuring me, for quite some time, to write about my life, investment ideas and reviews on products, services vehicles, or places I travel, etc. Again, I have a bit a of a weird way of looking at things, but they usually result in a few laughs and some solid profits.
I'm an true Anarcho-Capitalist, Austrian Economics & Machiavelli student. I generally focus on investments which generate [real] wealth, store & create energy, provide building blocks of life, few luxury resources, or fix some sort of problem.
I am a prior US Naval Intelligence Specialist turned Strategic Asset Analyst, turned (eventually) Chief Strategist. I half retired with this title at 28, and became a board member of a VC/PE/Holdings firm which I helped to create and still serve. My final(and current) project will take place over the next 18 months, after which I plan to liquidate my full position and focus on my dream of creating a world that my children and grandchildren will want to inherit. I'm a hands on philanthropist, which I describe as someone who would rather solve problems with thought, creativity and hard work, rather than blindly throwing funds around.
Over the next few months, I'm planning to post about, well, my life:
- Stocks, economics, metals, world events and the investments I personally make as a result.
- Blockchain tech, news, cryptocurrencies, applications, devices, services and my experience and opinion with all the above.
- Dual citizenship, offshore banking, foreign real estate, and why they might be a good thing to think about.
- Travel locations worth checking out and why.
- Health & fitness
- Bourbon, Liquor, Cigars & Recipes complete with photos, but only if they stand out.
- Getting my pilot's license and instrument rating, and what to do or not do.
- Scuba diving, underwater hunting and gathering.
Last thing, I'm doing this because I genuinely hope that my experiences or opinion can add value, in some tangible way, to other people's lives or at least help them see another side of the world. I was fortunate to experience a lot in the first 30 years of my life, so If you have a question, ask & if you have an opinion, let's hear it!
I don't have a Facebook, but you can find me tweeting about some of the same on my new twitter account @LennartBedrage, or right here!
Donations
100% of Steem generated by my account will be donated responsibly to a cause which is commuted toward empowerment of impoverished areas, tangible improvements to Human Development and the betterment of all mankind. For each donation, I will generate a full write up of the reasons why I selected a particular organization, stated mission, and what our STEEM has purchased. These write ups will be complete with receipts and pictures when possible.
In my commitment to support the currencies and the blockchain space, all funds will be used to purchase material goods directly, or converted into other currencies (such as ETH) which ensure contract completion and mitigate exposure to fraud.
