Investing in ICOs and other cryptocurrency projects, with Derek Waltchack

Welcome to Ledger Cast, hosted by me, Brian Krogsgard (@ledgerstatus on twitter), and in this episode I'm joined by a special co-host, Derek Waltchack. Ledger Cast is a cryptocurrency trading and blockchain ecosystem podcast. You can subscribe to new episodes of Ledger Cast on iTunes, on Google Play, on Stitcher, on YouTube and via RSS. The information in this podcast should not be construed as investment advice, it is purely educational material and you should always do your own research before buying. In this episode of Ledger Cast, I talk to Derek about the landscape for investing in ICOs as an accredited investor, as well as investing in the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem, the regulatory uncertainties for the space, and more. Derek is a partner at Shannon Waltchack -- a full service commercial real estate and property management firm in Birmingham, Alabama. We discuss how his experience in real estate helps him view this market, and even dig into his ideal blockchain-based disruption for his own industry. Derek and I are actually going to be interviewing some project teams together, and I think it will be valuable given his experience as an investor and mine more from the trading side. So this is like an introductory interview for the Ledger Cast audience. I've really come to admire the way Derek approaches this industry, and I think you will enjoy his insights as well.
