Longtime Keen on Retirement listeners might remember a running gag where Matt Wilson and I would joke with our co-host, Steve Sanduski, about all the bitcoin we suspected he was hoarding. At the time, bitcoin had just emerged from one of its periodic freefalls and was starting to seep back into the general public's awareness.

And then, in 2018-2019, it dropped again.

Today, as the value of one bitcoin hovers in the tens of thousands of dollars, this digital asset is back to making headlines and generating a lot of questions from our listeners. And it turns out that, all kidding aside, our buddy Steve really has been playing very close attention to how Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies could affect our economy and our monetary system. He's even started a new podcast, The Digital Money Advisor, focused on exploring these very issues.

So, on today's show, we decided to put our co-host on the hotseat and ask Steve what he's learned on his deep dive into bitcoin.
