Ep. 24 : Everything You Need To Know About Bitcoin With Trace Mayer

Bitcoin. Everyone and their mother has heard of it, some people have invested in it and have actually become over night millionaires. Others say that it is a scam and a pyramid scheme. The price of a single Bitcoin now hovers around $4,700. Beginners are now starting to buy only a fraction of a coin because of the steep price. However, depending on who you ask this may be a discount compared to what we might see in the future. The future of cryptocurrency is both exciting and scary. Could this be the second coming of the internet? As exciting as Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrenises are, there is also a lot of specuatltion and fear surrounding the asset class.
