His name is Chris Campbell. If you don’t know Chris, he’s one of the most interesting people you’ll ever meet. He’s visited over 30 countries on the hunt for ways to live a freer, healthier, more abundant, and satisfying life. He’s been on the bleeding edge of bitcoin, decentralization, Big Brother, and much more. He lived as a digital nomad with no possessions (sound familiar??)… I hope you enjoy his ideas as much as I do!] T-Mobile Hack! What it Means. What You Should Do. By Chris Campbell Will August 23rd, 2021 Be the New Black Monday? [newspaper video]( The stock market has been in a bubble for years… Now we could be on the verge of one of the [biggest stock market sell-offs in history…]( And according to one of America’s best traders, this impending crash could be the opportunity of a lifetime… That’s why he’s recommending a play that could [40X or more in just weeks or months if the market crashes the way we expect…]( And he’s inviting you to learn more...But you don’t have long, because we could see a crash as soon as THIS coming Monday. And if you aren’t in by then, you probably won’t get a second chance. [Click Here for Details on this 40X Trade Idea]( In 1517, Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses on the door of the Castle Church… ushering in the Reformation. Information. Later came the Renaissance, which spread works far and wide previously only held by a few gatekeepers. Information. The Renaissance, Gilder writes, “was a revolution comparable to the one we are witnessing now — though few are aware it, let alone grasp its significance.” This new revolution is entirely digital. It represents a complete upheaval of the entire foundations of the Internet: “By the time it’s complete,” Gilder writes, “the internet we’ve all grown used to will be completely different — and so too will the world.” And, as you’ll see, it creates MASSIVE opportunities for those who stay ahead of the curve. We needn’t look far for the “signs of the times.” The latest major hack -- and all those that have happened in the past decade -- reveal precisely why this revolution is inevitable. On that note… --------------------------------------------------------------- [Recommended Article] [SPAC’s: The New Way to Go Public | Gilder's Daily Prophecy]( --------------------------------------------------------------- T-Mobile Hack! If you’re a T-Mobile customer, it might be wise to freeze your credit and change your password. The company has officially confirmed hackers gained access to their servers and pulled out the first and last names, date of birth, SSN, and driver’s licenses of potentially 100 million customers. Though T-Mobile claims this happened due to a “sophisticated attack”... Consider this is the FIFTH time T-Mobile was hacked in recent years, following incidents as recently as January and other incidents dating back to 2018. If you happen to be using T-Moble, here’s what you can do, apart from changing your password and security PIN on the t-mobile website: 1.] Put a temporary freeze on your credit on all three major credit reporting services Equifax: Call 800-349-9960 or[go online](. Check out NerdWallet’s step-by-step[Equifax credit freeze]( guide. Experian: Call 888‑397‑3742 or[go online](. Here’s a detailed walk-through on getting an[Experian credit freeze](. TransUnion: Call 888-909-8872 or[go online](. Read NerdWallet’s[TransUnion credit freeze]( guide. 2.] Set up a fraud alert. This needs to be done only once -- the credit system you use will notify the other two. Here’s the [page for Experian](. 3.] Check out [Yubikeys](. Yubikeys make it impossible to access your accounts without the physical key. Even if you’re not a T-Mobile customer, they’re worth checking out. (We mentioned them in recent articles to keep your online accounts safe. Hacks like this one are yet another example of why they’re incredibly useful.) T-Mobile claims that credit and debit card information is safe. But it wouldn’t hurt to also monitor your bank activity more closely moving forward. All of this harkens back to why centralization in the digital age is so dangerously foolish… and why a decentralized net is inevitable. World’s 1st Billionaire “Super Alliance” = 1 New Disruptive Technology [Earth on puppet strings]( The founder of Microsoft…the founder of Amazon…the founder of Virgin Galactic… Together, they’ve joined forces… And created a “super-alliance” of billionaire investors… To claim a ground floor stake in a new disruptive technology… That Bloomberg says will grow 12,100% over the coming years… And potentially overturn $100 trillion in economic assets. What do the ultra-rich know that everyday Americans like YOU don’t? [Find out here.]( The Old Net is Dying The current Internet thrives on storing your personal information in centralized hubs as part of their business models. The more companies can collect -- no matter what service they provide -- the better. At the helm are giants like Facebook and Google, who receive the lion’s share of all advertising revenue on the web. “This,” says Gilder, “allows them to offer their products for ‘free’... However, this has come at a cost. Perhaps the most important is our privacy. The current Internet has no security to speak of. Giant hacks into corporate and government databases -- and the subsequent release of millions of people’s personal information -- have become commonplace.” In the current digital paradigm, you are the product, not the customer. And you take all of the risks. This was never the original intention of the Internet. Guys like Tim-Berners Lee, the man who invented the World Wide Web, envisioned the Internet as open, decentralized, and private. Even so, says Gilder, “from its decentralized, cypherpunk origins, the internet evolved into what we’re all now familiar with: a centralized, corporatized, top-down system.” It’s good for the giants, while it lasts. But it won’t last. Because while the current model allows a few behemoths to suck all of the power and value to the top, it’s entirely unsustainable and fragile. --------------------------------------------------------------- [Recommended Article] [The Secret Revolt in the Bond Market | Money & Crisis]( --------------------------------------------------------------- Gilder: “All our private data reside in a bunch of corporate data centers scattered about the landscape and all it takes is for some careless IT administrator to forget to update to the latest version of a piece of software and, oops, suddenly hackers now have access to the whole treasure chest — and there’s nothing you or I can do about it.” Fortunately, innovators from all around the world are, as you read this, solving these problems. As mentioned, this represents a massive opportunity -- financially, career-wise, and more -- for those who stay ahead of the curve. We’ll keep you up to date on this inevitable shift, and show how you can capitalize on the rise of Web 3.0. As Gilder puts it: “Let us regain the internet again. Not a winner-take-all internet. But an internet in which we can all be winners again.” Want a head’s up from Gilder himself on the best investments in this new arena?
