Introduction-Excited To Be Here On Steemit!
Hello friends, I am an independent financial analyst and an anarcho-capitalist. I contribute to the financial site www.seekingalpha.com which provides crowd-sourced stock market research. I am passionate about learning and sharing the principles of wealth building and entrepreneurship, and also many other areas within finance such as gold, mining stocks, bitcoin, value investing, dividend growth stocks, and whole life insurance.
When looking at the financial world through an austro-libertarian lens as I do, it can be rather frustrating to imagine how you can become wealthy when central banks around the world are guaranteed to keep inflating their currencies year after year, each one a burning match dwindling at varying rates. The boom-bust cycle is fueled by central banking, and it doesn't have to be this way, but the reality is that we as individuals can't end the central banking system currently in place. What we can do though, is to figure out the best way to work within the current system and make sure you can create a financial stronghold in spite of all the taxes, regulation, and inflation that hampers private enterprise. I honestly think that in spite of all the financial chaos that certainly does exist in the world today, we can still create wealth faster than the state can destroy it if we do it the right way.
With this being the case, I will take it farther and say that as anarchists, it is our duty to become prosperous. We want to be a good example to the world, and prove that we can take action and do what is necessary in spite of the coercive system we live under. Simply complaining about the evils of the state while remaining broke and in debt won't make you look very good to the statists you are trying to win over. This doesn't mean you have to be a billionaire, but shrewd financial habits pay off in the long run no matter how much you earn. I hope I can inspire some folks to feel the same way and that the finance section of steemit will grow.
Glad to be here!

What's going to be carved on your (hypothetical) tombstone?
Howdy!
Great to have you here on steemit. Hope it is going well for you so far. I have been here about 2 months and will do my best to help you with anything I can.
I do have an "ask" of you, I know I am a stranger to you, but maybe in the future a friend. I recently got my MBA with a concentration in Finance and am looking to change careers to get into being a Financial Analyst. What would you recommend to a guy with no financial background, outside of my education, to do to make this happen?
Thanks @thefinanceguy and looking forward to your post!
