Cryptocurrency & a Musical Coda

In this episode, Mike Villegas — musician, owner of Area 67 Recording in Akron, Ohio, and former accountant — offers a primer on cryptocurrency. He explains crypto's importance and why this form of currency is not going away. In fact, he maintains, it's our financial safety net. "People need to get educated on crypto," Mike says, noting that a site called Coinbase is a good place to start because it offers short tutorials on different currencies.For information on Mike's studio, visit https://www.area67music.com/ or Facebook.After all the information that Mike shared about crypto, it was time to sit back and take in some music.
