Jan van Eck, CEO of VanEck, has continued his father’s work in the funds world.  Jan sees Bitcoin as part technology and part store of value as it matures as an asset.  He also shares his view that individual investors have insights that institutional investors sometimes miss.  Jan's journey in considering the impacts of Bitcoin and other trends over the years might be a harbinger for how the world is evolving.  Jan’s perspective shows a healthy interest in the world around him.  As always, nothing in this episode is investment, legal, or any other advice of any kind, and nothing in this episode is an endorsement or recommendation of any kind.
