We’ve done multiple calls and written on Bitcoin in the last year, and we’re now getting regular questions about other cryptocurrencies. Is Ethereum “better” than Bitcoin? Are there other cryptocurrencies we should be buying along with or instead of Bitcoin? And how do we distinguish between a quality cryptocurrency with owner-friendly policies and security vs cryptocurrencies with practices that are less secure or advantageous.
To explore this topic, we’ll be hosting experts who actively manage money in the space; Chris Bell and Michael Bucella.
