If you’ve ever had cryptocurrency explained to you, you know it can get kind of dense, sitting, as it does, at the intersection of finance, economics and technology. But it shouldn't be.

They say you don’t really know a topic until you can explain it to your grandma.

So, it is that beginner’s mind I tried to bring to the table when I was interviewed several weeks ago by Katie Welsh and Denis O'Brien of the Chain of Wealth podcast.

Cryptocurrency Explained: The Chain of Wealth Podcast Interview of Kim Snider

Sane Crypto is the first cryptocurrency show for Baby Boomers investing for retirement. The host of Sane Crypto is Kim Snider, a former award winning, SEC Registered financial advisor and financial engineer, who admittedly approached Bitcoin, Ethereum and cryptoassets initially with a great deal of skepticism. 

After being asked for advice from a friend, and then doing a lot of independent research and due diligence, her world view about Bitcoin, cryptocurrency and investing was permanently changed. 

Most people believe cryptoassets are too risky for the average investor. Kim believes the risk is in NOT Investing. And, in fact, cryptocurrency may be the answer to near-retiree's prayers. 

The trick is to structure our investment so that, if the naysayers are right, you don’t do irreparable harm to your nest egg. But if the believers are right, you make potentially life-changing money that could catapult you across that retirement finish line.

Watched pot never boils

There's been a lot of concern over where the market is heading for the past few weeks, to put it lightly. And since Bitcoin hasn’t been immune to the sharp drops, many cryptocurrency investors are wondering if it’s time to cut their losses and sell their crypto assets. In this episode of the podcast, I cover whether or not bitcoin is truly dead, whether you should be selling off your assets, and discuss my thoughts on managing investments in a bear market.

Dr. Janice Dorn was certified in General Psychiatry and Addiction Psychiatry by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. She also held a Ph.D. in Brain Anatomy and an M.D. in Psychiatry. I was fortunate enough to be able to interview her back in 2008 about investing strategically in an uncertain economy. As relevant now as it was then, I revisit the interview in this episode of the podcast.

The secret to being a better investor in uncertain times with Dr. Janice Dorn

I was listening to a podcast recently where they interviewed Dan McArdle from Messari about his take on Bitcoin. While we seem to agree for the most part, I there are some nuanced differences between our opinions, and I felt compelled to share my take on the matter.

Debate On Bitcoin As A Hedge Against Inflation & Recession

Recently, I came across an Ask Kim email from someone who’s financial advisor had told them that bitcoin was a scam, only used by criminals. This infuriated me to no end. It is an investment advisor’s duty to help you make sound financial decisions, and this particular advisor is potentially doing harm to this investor.

Rather than remain angry, I decided to use it as an opportunity to debunk the top three myths surrounding bitcoin.
