Summary

Eddie van der Walt is a financial journalist at Bloomberg based in London, with a background in covering commodity markets, an awareness of currencies and expertise in precious metals trading. He previously was a Bitcoin skeptic, but recently converted to a Bitcoin believer. In this conversation, we discuss the macroeconomy, gold, bitcoin, market structure, what changed his mind about the digital currency, and a 2021 outlook. ======================= Choice is a new self-directed IRA product that I'm really excited about. If you are listening to this, you are likely part of the 7.1 million bitcoin owners who have retirement accounts with dollars in them, but not bitcoin. I was in that situation too. Now you can actually buy real Bitcoin in your retirement account. I'm talking about owning your private keys and using tax-advantaged dollars to do it too. Absolute game changer. https://www.retirewithchoice.com/pomp ======================= Want to sell your wonderful internet business?

0:20.6	He previously was a Bitcoin

0:27.7	economy, gold, Bitcoin, market structure, what changed his mind about the digital currency
0:33.6	and a 2021 outlook. I really enjoyed this conversation with Ed, and I hope you do as well.
0:40.8	Before we get into this episode, though, I want to quickly talk about our sponsors.
0:44.6	First up is BlockFi. BlockFi has three products. One, you can buy and sell crypto on
0:50.2	their crypto exchange. Two, you can deposit crypto and take out a U.S. dollar loan against your
0:54.9	crypto collateral. Or three, you can earn up to 8.6% APY in an interest-bearing account. BlackFi
1:02.1	also is coming out with a Bitcoin Rewards credit card in 2021. You'll use it just like a normal
1:07.5	credit card, but you'll be able to earn Bitcoin back rather than cash or airline models. I'm an investor. I sit on the board and I'm a very happy user. If you get a

1:39.4	Now you can actually buy real Bitcoin in your retirement account, though. I'm talking about
1:43.1	owning your private keys and using tax advantage dollars to do it too. It's an absolute game changer. Choice,
1:50.2	a self-directed IRA product that allows you to buy Bitcoin, hold your private keys, and use
1:55.1	tax advantage dollars to do it. No longer do you have to ask, how do I buy Bitcoin in my retirement
2:00.1	account? Use choice. Go to retire with
2:03.8	choice.com slash pomp. Again, retire withchoice.com slash pomp. There's a really long waitlist,
