Purpose-Driven Wealth

In this episode of Purpose-Driven Wealth, your host Mo Bina and guest Phil Geiger discuss how governments and small-scale investors can leverage Bitcoin and everything you need to know about its security. From Phil's words, he's 'never been ever more bullish on Bitcoin than today." Here, Phil shares his thoughts on the roles that Bitcoin and cash could play hand-in-hand, talks about the most important chart to look at when it comes to Bitcoin, and explains how Unchained Capital designs its services for the long-term Bitcoin holders.

In this episode you will learn:

• There's less illegal stuff done with Bitcoin
• How Unchained Capital works with clients
• Today, it's not just the 'Elon Musks' that are getting into Bitcoin
• Phil Geiger's recommendations for Bitcoin holders
• The trend and predictions for Bitcoin

About Phil Geiger:

For Phil, Bitcoin is the strongest currency the world has ever seen. It's global, neutral, and can't be arbitrarily debased by a central authority.

Because it is designed to store value for the long run, Bitcoin incentivizes people to save rather than consume. There's nothing better for the environment than a single neutral global currency that makes overconsumption more expensive.
