For the fourth episode of Season 4, the Yes Girls say "yes" to learning about cryptocurrency alongside Erick Asuma of Kenyan Wallstreet. They did this by taking two weeks to put in a bit of their own money in Bitcoin, the most well-known type of cryptocurrency to invest in.

But to get this two-week challenge appropriately done, they needed to learn how to buy Bitcoin and open accounts with either Binance, Local Bitcoins, or Paxful. Akumu, on the other hand, opened an account with Coinbase. That means part of this challenge was about them staying informed about the bitcoin price/value, plus bitcoin news, and trying their hand at bitcoin price predictions.

As mentioned, this episode's guest expert is Erick Asuma, co-founder and CEO of Hisa Technologies. Hisa is Africa's first wealth management platform that makes investing social. It allows users access to different investment options like stocks and ETFs. It also provides educational content like news, podcasts and user-generated discussions to improve users' financial literacy.

Erick is also the founder of Kenyan Wallstreet, a leading integrated digital media content platform providing in-depth business news and finance news across Sub-Saharan Africa and the globe.

Listen in if you're curious about crypto in general, cryptocurrency for beginners, the cryptocurrency market, the cryptocurrency crash, cryptocurrency trading, cryptocurrency exchange, how to buy bitcoin, and everything else you need to know before investing and trading bitcoin.
