E117: Cryptocurrency with Special Guest Erin Cobb
E117 Introduction
Cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. This is THE watercooler talk all over the world right now. Can you sense that? Why has this topic become so relevant, seemingly overnight?
As a long-time equity investor, I have an active interest in markets and trends. That and I like to know what the hell is going on! So in late 2019 I bought my first cryptocurrency, dipping my toe in the water to the tune of a few hundred bucks.
I then continued to do more research. Then I dipped another toe into the waters. Then I did more research. And now I have my whole foot in. And I continue to do more research. We are all just learning about this new technology and new platform and how it will impact us.
With just 3% of Americans currently holding cryptocurrency, we are still very much in its infancy. I can see a not so distant future where that number will be 30% and growing.
My intention with this episode is to pique your interest and to perhaps break down some barriers to entry into this fascinating world. I thought if you could hear my guest and I share our journeys and how early it is for cryptocurrency and blockchain, that this will spur you to start to roll up your sleeves to do your research. And perhaps, when the time is right for you, to push a few chips onto the table and state ”I am in” for this new paradigm. Enjoy the episode.
