This week's episode features a discussion with Ian Kurth—radiologist and highly sophisticated investor. Ian is a member of Wealth Formula Network and one of its major assets. He is doing exactly what, in my opinion, every high-paid professional ought to be doing. He has really transformed himself into a sophisticated investor and thought leader on personal finance for our demographic. The current discussion is inspired by a 90-minute Wealth Formula Network call around how to think about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. It's important to note that just a couple of years ago, Ian was a bitcoin skeptic. So you are going to want to understand how he has transformed into a very pro-bitcoin investor despite his conservative nature! Listen HERE! P.S. Ian has also compiled a list of resources that he has found helpful in his journey to becoming crypto-competent. He has kindly permitted me to share them below: Podcasts https://www.theinvestorspodcast.com/bitcoin-fundamentals/page/2/ - Recommend starting with - (#1, #3, & #5 first - links below) #1 - https://www.theinvestorspodcast.com/bitcoin-fundamentals/bitcoin-common-misconceptions-w-robert-breedlove/ #3 - https://www.theinvestorspodcast.com/bitcoin-fundamentals/bitcoin-a-deflationary-world-w-jeff-booth/ #5 - https://www.theinvestorspodcast.com/bitcoin-fundamentals/bitcoin-michael-saylor-a-masterclass-in-economic-calculation/ This is an outstanding 9 podcast series.

(https://www.coinbase.com/join/kurth_6) If you want to do daily buys at a cheaper trx fee, and then auto send to a cold storage device, I use Swan Bitcoin. I like to dollar cost average on a daily basis. https://www.swanbitcoin.com/Kurthian If you'd like to earn % interest on your bitcoin, you can explore BlockFI. You get some money for signing up. For other digital assets that are not on Coinbase Pro, I use Crypto.com. Use code 2grceqsvjv for $25. Voyager is decent for more exotic coins. https://www.bitwiseinvestments.com/ is a good private equity index type option that I have used since 2017. From a brokerage account, GBTC and ETHE are reasonable bitcoin proxy investments, particularly in qualified retirement accounts.
