Summary

Today, I'm joined by one of the smartest people I know and a crypto early adopter, Francis Tapon.  He gives you a great "crypto for beginners" primer, discusses what he thinks the future holds (hint: it's a more rational viewpoint than most TikTok talking heads), and discusses why he thinks crypto is such a game changer for travelers and people who want to lead life on their own terms.

We first recorded this show April 11th, 2024.

0:06.2

And at that point, Bitcoin was sitting at $70,000 a Bitcoin, which was very close to its all-time high.

0:13.4

Since then, it took a little bit of a dip in the summer, got down to about $55,000 a coin.

much more educated on crypto. And that is a lot of that is because of this show. Once we recorded

crypto. So whether you were someone who is brand new to this and you're just thinking,

1:26.7

well, I'm interested in this topic or you're someone like me when I record a show who's dabbled in it.

1:32.9
