Crypto Goes Legit?

from It's All Money · host 707 Media

But like it or not, crypto is becoming a part of the world outside your friend's boyfriend's cousin's basement. On this episode of It's All Money, Sonoma Wealth CEO Daren Blonski CFP® and Marketing Director Dano Weir look at the real-world proof that crypto is going legit. • Major trading firms which offer crypto investments. • Countries with strategic bitcoin reserves. • Crypto can now be equally considered as an asset for a mortgage. • What is the GENIUS act? • Athletes who've been paid in crypto. What's the future hold? No one can say for sure. As a firm, it's our job to watch trends in the industry and report back to you. Despite it's history, crypto is showing more and more signs of legitimacy. We hope you found this episode at the very least educational.
