Episode 119 - Bucket Shops, Tulips, Accredited Investing, and Financial Exclusion

Good morning! The whole subject of Celsius Network now only allowing accredited investors to earn on their platform has led me down a rabbit hole of ways the wealthy establishment perpetuate systematic financial discrimination and exclusion. This ends up driving those without the means to be "accredited investors" who would love to move upwardly financially into bubble frenzies and risky bucket-shop like projects and activities where they end up being further manipulated and oppressed. It has been truly fascinating to read about all the way people try to move upwards and the way that those established work to keep them down.
