El Salvador has officially made Bitcoin legal tender.
Some in traditional finance are calling it an experiment doomed to fail...
While others are calling it one of the biggest stories in the history of cryptocurrencies...
One thing is for sure... This decision will likely have far-reaching effects around the world for years...
Will other countries soon follow suit? Could this be the big adoption catalyst that sends Bitcoin soaring up towards $100K? Or will this experiment end disastrously and serve as a warning for other small nations thinking of doing the same thing?
To help us make sense of this incredible new development, Dan invited crypto expert, Cam Harvey, onto the show...
Cam is the professor of Finance at the Fuqua School of Business at Duke University.
And he's also served as editor of the Journal of Finance from 2006-2012... as well as the President of the American Finance Association in 2016.
When it comes to cryptocurrencies, Cam is way ahead of the curve...
When Bitcoin was trading between $200 - $400 per coin, Cam was giving lectures to his students about Bitcoin during his finance classes...
During their conversation, Cam and Dan discuss at length what El Salvador's recent move could mean for the US Dollar, traditional financial institutions, and other nations that might be thinking of doing the same thing...
If you've thought about investing in cryptos and don't know where to get started, Cam says we're less than 1% into this disruption, so now is the perfect time...
In fact, Cam walks listeners through the first 2 steps you need to take to get started in the crypto space the right way...
He says every listener should consider entering the crypto space... because in his words,
"You can either join this revolution, or get swept away by it..."
Listen to Dan's conversation with Cam and more on this week's episode.
