I decided to go to the wayback machine and dust off an interview I did with Terry Burnham, author of Mean markets and Lizards Brains, for my radio show, all the way back in 2005.

Being an interview from 2005, Bitcoin wasn’t even a glimmer in Satoshi Nakamoto’s eye yet. But everything we say about the stock market is equally applicable to cryptoassets since, as I keep reminding you, just because crypto is a new asset class, all the same rules of investing still apply.

A listener sent in an Ask Kim question asking whether cryptocurrency could/should serve as a hedge against inflation in a portfolio? If so, how would that work? Is Bitcoin a better gold than gold?

A listener sent in an Ask Kim question asking how and where to buy cryptocurrency. He mentioned he is new to cryptoassets. What platform do I recommend and how is the purchase actually made?

It’s July… the time of year those of us in the Northern hemisphere like to go somewhere, anywhere, to get away from the heat… Which is also, usually, a great time to catch up on your reading.

So, I thought this would be a good time to share three behavioral finance picks that will improve your portfolio results by giving you insight into why you make the investment decisions (and mistakes) that you (we all) do.

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.

Today, we are talking about using a solo 401(k) structure to invest in cryptocurrency with Jordan Sheppherd of CheckbookIRA.com . And, in some cases, this can be an even better way to buy bitcoin in retirement accounts than even a checkbook IRA, as Jordan will explain.

It used to be that when someone passed away without a detailed estate plan, their loved ones simply had to watch the mailbox for 90 days or so to collect the different bank or brokerage statements that trickled in over time.

But cryptoassets are a totally different kettle of fish... Which is why I invited Pamela Morgan on the show to talk about her book, Cryptoasset Inheritance Planning: A Simple Guide for Owners so we can know the right way to plan for the transfer of our cryptoassets.

In this episode I cover:

✓ What is risk? What is volatility? How are they different?

✓ Why you need a source of higher returns in your portfolio if you hope to retire comfortably

✓ How I learned to love volatility

✓ The key to managing volatility

✓ How when you know how to play volatility, you can go after slightly higher returns which can give you a big edge when compounded over a lifetime of saving and investing for retirement.

✓ If you don’t, then you’re just funding my

I was really excited to have the opportunity to sit down with Jeff Vandrew, Jr. to talk about what are known as “Checkbook IRAs”, for Buying Cryptocurrency Directly in Your IRA.

In this conversation, Jeff And I cover:

✓ How Jeff got into the cryptocurrency niche
✓ What is a Self Directed IRA?
✓ Why is checkbook control (a/k/a an IRA-LLC or Checkbook IRA) preferable to an "old fashioned" SDIRA?
✓ Some of the rules and challenges of investing in cryptocurrency in your IRA
