Due to the recent price movements in Bitcoin we are once again observing how this cryptocurrency is occupying a larger space in the minds of the everyday investor. Some would say still Bitcoin is a scam, a bubble, or something far to risky to play with – many financial advisers are still in this camp too, so as a byproduct, investors are seeking advice and guidance from a myriad of alternative sources to fill the gap – this can dangerous, but just like an over-protective parent hell-bent on keeping their kids safe, eventually the kids find a way to play a game you don’t want to them to play.
Recently I think we saw a good example of this playing out with Gamestop. Apparently, incumbent hedge funds don’t like it when it’s amateur hour - they’ll certainly do everything they can to shut down everyday investors – but increasingly, it’s not their exclusive game to play. Perhaps they need need to learn to play well with their siblings. Technology, whether it’s a Reddit page or a new asset class, changes things far faster than what many 'parents' are prepared for.
So, if you’re keen to learn more about investing in Bitcoin, then there are three easy questions you could start with: Firstly, what is Cryptocurrency, then what are the options around gaining exposure to it, then, how much of this should be in your portfolio. We covering some of these topics today but at the end of this episode, I want to zero in on the last one – how much Crypto could be included in your investment portfolio?
I hope you enjoy today’s show – it’s not too technical, it’s just a chat with 4 people who come from different perspectives sharing some thoughts and opinions - enjoy.
