Using Nature’s Intelligence to Take Advantage of Evolved Nash Equilibrium Principles to Unlock Value and Support Entrepreneurs Overlooked by Most of the Investment Community

________________________________

Our “Phoenix Investing” service area involves investing research on the following: 1) multi-capitalization public equities and 2) digital assets for experiential learning of how to apply our living systems investing principles (we do not chase the herd, instead seeking pockets of real value creation). 

Investors can expect a mixture of written content as well as podcasts, live webinars, and videos with interdisciplinary experts. We are not investment advisors to invest at your own risk. This is for educational purposes only.  

Both our areas of focus tend to be volatile and risky with big sell offs following large bubbles and then rising again. Both areas can benefit from our natural intelligence perspective, which is unique for finding opportunities away from the herd and managing layers of risks not possible using other approaches.

We focus on the edge of chaos in misunderstood, overlooked, off the radar, and turnaround situations. It is a fun service area. Keep in mind that this is not a typical investment research product. We discuss coherence and alignment as it relates to our living systems investing principles with the intention of helping to unblock value in these important companies and projects. Phoenix Investing is tightly integrated with The Pythia Scrolls.

We also give members a chance to present their own ideas, as long as they use our natural intelligence systems principles.

We discuss global companies that are both coherent and incoherent with the principles. The degree of coherence is especially helpful in determining which companies have the best systemic value propositions and which ones are exposed to the most risk during these liminal times. We also use the principles to brainstorm about how to help companies with exciting products and services that may be struggling and do not fit very well in the current winner take all system.

You can make venture capital-like returns with our strategies over shorter time frames. However, there is also much more volatility and risk, so our focus and approach is not for the risk averse. Some areas where we focus can be highly predatory and the companies illiquid, but we also focus on newly emerging industries and exciting new trends. We use game theory principles in their higher potential with the intention to support these important edge entrepreneurs. We seek high integrity investors, as this space attracts many sleazy people who do not care about systemic value creation.

“Phoenix Investing” is highly synergistic with and integrated into our foundational service area “The Pythia Scrolls” (interdisciplinary, networked intelligence and living systems investing trends research) and is the only way to access “Phoenix Investing” content.

Contact us here or contact Lynn Marie DePippo directly here: lynndepippo@gmail.com if you are interested to explore our new founding membership in The Pythia Scrolls which contains the following service areas: 1) Codex – educational materials; 2) The Scrolls – interactive trends research 3) Phoenix Investing.

 

For the intellectually curious, reading about the vast potential of the distributed ledger technology, blockchain is irresistible, with numerous applications ranging across all industries.

I admit to obsessively reading everything I can about this emerging area.   So many blocks to solving complicated problems across society can be addressed by intelligent use of new scientific and technical tools like these.  Blockchain greatly accelerates the ongoing trend of more, decentralized, collaborative, and collective intelligence.  That all by itself is truly revolutionary.

This particular article about a new project using blockchain to accelerate the research of blockchain is very interesting to me.  I have thought often of the need for more open-source research across many diverse areas.  This particular article addresses the blockchain specifically but I see no reason why we could not tailor these tools to address any research area such as new energy technologies, new funding models for research or business, or other scientific research areas such as the microbiome, genetic engineering, stem cell research, anti-aging research, nutritional research, agricultural research, and on and on it goes.  Big funding for research in many of these areas is still very top down, clustered in certain geographies across the world, with big elite investors, corporations, and research institutions the ones with the early opportunities to shape and steer research and new technology development.  I realize there are still many obstacles such as how to organize these groups, how to address patent issues, etc, but the potential is far too great with explosive innovation and creativity possible.  Welcome to the future.  It does not seem very prudent to stay in our elite ivory towers as the democratization of collective information gathering and sharing is here to stay.  The world is so divided today, but here is one very important and natural way to begin to bring disparate groups together in a healthy way.
