"Cool story, bro." - Bryan, to his Uber driver, who was rambling about crypto

I know... I know...

It sounds totally cliché...

An Uber driver talking about crypto.

Every financial writer in the world has sarcastically made reference to getting tips from their Uber drivers - which marks the sign of a bubble that's about to burst.

But I have to tell you, this just happened to me.

I'm not being sarcastic, though an Uber driver talking about crypto is an incredibly stereotypical scenario.

But it's true - this really happened.

The conversation occurred while I was headed to the Charleston, South Carolina, airport. Karim and I had just wrapped up speaking at The Oxford Club's Private Wealth Seminar - and I had to catch an early-morning flight.

So here's the setup...

Yet charge you thousands.

This Wednesday, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency (Ethereum) is expected to undergo a major overhaul, dubbed "the Merge."

It'll be a complete overhaul of Ethereum's mechanics. It is being described as a transformative moment for all things crypto.

Clearly, this could bring more excitement to the entire crypto space.

My Uber driver's nonstop monologue about how this could trigger the next upside run was clear evidence of that.

But at the same time...

It could also make a handful of companies irrelevant and obsolete.

Specifically, it could damage companies that have spent hundreds of millions on crypto-mining hardware, which might soon be worthless.

Two such companies are Hut 8 Mining (TSX: HUT) and Hive Blockchain Technologies (TSX-V: HIVE).

Hut is a cryptocurrency mining company in North America. Hive is a cryptocurrency mining company with operations in Canada, Sweden and Iceland. Hive engages in the mining and sale of digital currencies, including Ethereum.

YOUR ACTION PLAN

Both Hut 8 Mining (TSX: HUT) and Hive Blockchain Technologies (TSX-V: HIVE) have already said that the move on September 15 will make their mining businesses "less competitive." If you know Karim and me, then you know we've been skeptical of the entire crypto run. Although both companies are low-priced, you could soon have an opportunity to play them down to zero.

MONDAY MARKET MINUTE

  • Finally a Bounce Back. After a seven-day losing streak, the major markets saw a 2%-4% bump last week. But can it continue? If so, we'll be looking to make plays on the global agricultural or water sectors. Tracking.

    • Plan B: If the market fizzles out, look to add put positions to your portfolio.
  • Pool as an Inflation Hedge. Barron's believes the pool industry could be a good inflation hedge thanks to the recurring expenses pool ownership entails. Pools are a big investment, meaning pool owners are likely to keep paying for maintenance.
  • Fed Still Eyeing Increase. Don't let a good CPI report fool you. Fed President James Bullard said he "strongly favors" a 75-point rate hike. He recently reiterated that he wants to see rates hit 3.75% to 4% by the end of the year.
