Cryptocurrencies are still a hot financial topic, despite the fact that, as I write this, Bitcoin is down more than $25,000 from its 2021 high of $67,000.
Even after all this time, some experts are still insisting these volatile investments are heading to the moon, while others believe crypto could one day be worth nothing at all.
Who’s right? It’s time to find out.
Today, we’re going to look at whether to invest in crypto, how to invest in crypto, which crypto you should invest in, and most important, how to make money doing it.
Stacy Johnson and I are joined by producer and novice investor Aaron Freeman to discuss the ins and outs of investing in cryptocurrencies.
Our special guest is Eric Rosenberg, MBA, a financial expert and crypto investor.
Remember, even though we talk about specific investments on this show, don’t take them as recommendations because they’re not. Before investing in anything, do your research, and make your own decisions.
