Listen Later

Bitcoin has become incredibly mainstream. It’s been a hot topic for a while now and it’s mentioned frequently in many investment discussions in the financial planning world. 

Everyone sees ads for Bitcoin in their social media feeds with the cute little graphics of coins with Bs on them. There are probably some people out there who also think that there are real, physical Bitcoins they can get, too! So, with that in mind, today’s episode is all about Bitcoin: how it originated, what it really is, and how you can invest in it. 

Joining me today to discuss this fascinating topic are Matt Kasper and Will Doty, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professionals at Barber Financial Group. Without going down too many rabbit holes, this conversation is a top-level introduction to Bitcoin and cryptocurrency–and one you can use to make it a part of your portfolio in a meaningful way.

In this podcast interview, you’ll learn:

  • How Bitcoin was inspired by the financial crash of 2008.
  • What Blockchain technology is and how it can be used to ensure transparency in supply chains and many other use cases.
  • Why the price of Bitcoin is so incredibly volatile.
  • How to minimize your risk of fraud and secure your cryptocurrency investments.
