Bitcoin just smashed past $100K—but is it just another speculative bubble, or is it cementing its place as the digital gold of the future?

To get real answers, I sat down with Lisa Tyshchenko, Alternative Investment Specialist, while she was in Dubai. Lisa is a globally connected expert in digital assets, regularly working with family offices, private banks, and institutional investors to navigate the crypto space.

In this episode of the Financial Planner Life podcast, we discuss:

🔹 Bitcoin vs. Gold—Is Bitcoin really a competitor, or can they coexist?
🔹 Institutional Adoption—Why are big players quietly adding Bitcoin to their portfolios?
🔹 Quantum Computing—Could it break Bitcoin’s security and destroy its future?
🔹 Trump, ETFs & Regulation—How politics and policy could shape Bitcoin’s next move.
🔹 Avoiding Hype Investing—Including how I lost £3,000 on Dogecoin chasing the crowd!
🔹 Portfolio Strategy? Lisa shares why some research suggests a 4% Bitcoin allocation could enhance returns—but also why this is just an observation, not investment advice.

💡 I’m not endorsing Bitcoin—but I wanted to understand it. If institutions are taking it seriously, maybe we should at least ask why.

🔥 Is Bitcoin the future or just another speculative bubble? Let’s discuss.
