investing in cryptocurrency

You are finally ready to take the plunge.  You’ve seen everyone else doing and you have serious FOMO.

Today I am going to answer a reader question.  He is a serious investor but he has never purchased any cryptocurrency.

I get it - I was a financial advisor with my own wealth management firm and I had no clue where to buy cryptocurrency when I was ready to dive in.

I started investing with crypto in 2017 and there were so many options to choose from

05:05 His question:

‘I am completely new to crypto with no brokerage account other than traditional Fidelity and Merrill accounts.  I have $50k in traditional savings accounts.  What is the quickest and safest way to purchase stable coins and transfer to Celsius?’

In the traditional channels for trading - it is a simple process to transfer from Fidelity to Merrill or other traditional institution - to and from like accounts.

In the Crypto space this type of transfer does not exist.

09:37 Let’s address a traditional savings account as a tool for transferring funds for trading crypto.

17:45 Other ways to transfer funds into a platform like Celsius.

 Be sure to tune in for all the details.

Should we be investing in crypto?! Understanding the deep and confusing world of crypto was something that we were putting off learning. But we kept hearing about Bitcoin, Ethereum, NFTs and blockchain, so it's time to figure out once and for all, if cryptocurrency is an investment option we should be considering.

Now, we are most definitely not crypto experts, in fact we really don't know much about it...so we've asked Darcy Ungaro, Financial Adviser, Host of the NZ Everyday Investor podcast and crypto investor to join us and chat about all things crypto. 

In the episode, we chat about: 

• What are cryptocurrencies?
• Are all crypto created equal or are some better than others? 
• Is cryptocurrency a currency or an investment?
• How can I expect to make money investing in cryptocurrency?
• The importance of being diversified in your coins
• Why the same fundamental financial principles apply to investing in cryptocurrency as they do investing in the share markets
• How do I know if I'm ready to invest in cryptocurrency?
• Using crypto in a core-satellite portfolio strategy
• Where and how would we start investing in cryptocurrency

...plus lots more fun stuff, as always.
