Adam asks "T, what kind of work do you do in crypto? And how do you see crypto/Blockchain space in the coming years in terms of uses?"

This is not financial advice. The reason it’s not financial advice is because it’s not tailored to you. We explain the principles of building wealth but if you want personalised advice, it’s worth speaking to a financial advisor. As with everything financial, please do your own research. We really encourage that because no one cares more about your money than you and if you learn the basics then it will change your life.
