Understanding Bitcoin | What We've Learned Over The Past 3 Years
About this episode
It's been a long journey but we're finally starting to make some sense of it all.
In Episode #408 of 'Musings', Juan & I discuss: why the initial entry point for most westerners will be through investing, why we still continue to find BTC fascinating, suggested recommendations to actually learn about it, why it takes such a long time to fully comprehend and why you should only look at it if you've got a long time horizon.
Massive thanks to Dave Jones, Cole McCormick & McIntosh for the support! Really does warm our hearts <3
