In his book Jared reveals:

•  how the right kind of abundance mindset works wonders

The Everything Token takes a whistle-stop tour through the landscape of NFT technology – what they are, how they work and the potential for digital assets.

NFTs haven’t been short of controversy in the past two years as the valuations of digital artworks such as the infamous ‘Bored Apes Yacht Club’ and others reached feverish levels before crashing back down to earth.

Kominers himself is a professor and economist at Harvard Business School in the USA, but the book is written in an accessible way that us normies can still grapple.

Kaczynski and Kominer’s book take an unapologetically positive spin on NFTs. When it comes to any sort of investing, Mouthy Money thinks its readers should view everything through a critical lens – but if you want to understand how the tech works, this book should do the job.

Mouthy Money is giving away three copies of The Everything Token by Steve Kaczynski and Scott Duke Kominers to help you get your head around ‘non-fungible tokens’ or NFTs.

What are NFTs?

Non-fungible tokens or NFTs are a form of digital token that confers ownership of an asset and confirms it digitally using a blockchain to record said ownership.

NFTs gained widespread attention during an investment bubble of 2021 before crashing back to earth in the past two years.

Beyond digital artwork that saw much of the hype, Kaczynski and Kominers see much potential for the technology to be used as a marketing tool – fans of products of major global brands will buy digital collectibles in order to show off their digital association with those brands, for example.

Elsewhere NFT technology could replace essential ownership documents for assets that aren’t easily transactable such as property, jewellery, watches, real-world artwork (think Van Gogh or Picasso) or basically anything else that might need a proof of ownership.

THE COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED AND WINNERS WILL BE DRAWN AND CONTACTED

NFT ownership, trading and purchase carries risk. You can lose all your money just like with any other kind of investment. Make informed choices and don’t use money you can’t afford to lose.

Mouthy Money is giving away three copies of ‘The Signs Were There,’ by Tim Steer.

Find out below about the book and how to win.

‘The Signs Were There,’ by Tim Steer

Do you want to know the crucial signs behind stock market disasters and how to avoid them? Then Tim Steer’s book on what is wrong in the world of investment, audit, and financial regulation might be the one for you and your reading list.

‘The Signs Were There’ provides forensic examination of more than twenty-five recent share price collapses, including Aston Martin Lagonda, Patisserie Holdings and Woodford Equity Income Fund and reveals how companies hide or disguise worrying facts about the robustness of their business.

Tim Steer qualified as a Chartered Accountant with Ernst & Young and then moved into investment analysis and fund management, becoming one of the most highly rated fund managers in Britain.

He’s one of the few who highlighted the warning signs at Carillion, a company known for its big share price collapse.

In his book, he illustrates the impact of accounting and financial fraud or misinterpretation on publicly listed companies in the UK, with case studies that are concise and very instructive.

While this is not a book for beginners, it’s a great accounting refresher for those familiar with the key aspects of double entry bookkeeping.

The stories are told in an engaging, lucid manner, and it keeps the book from rising above what otherwise could have been dry content.

This book shines a light on the darkest aspects of accounting, and why this industry is vital to the UK economy.

How to win
