Are you curious what question I get asked most these days is? \\u201cKrisstina, what do you think of Cryptocurrency?\\u201d 6 months ago I was rarely asked this question.\\xa0

\\xa0

You\\u2019d have to live under a rock to not know that Cryptocurrency, especially Bitcoin, has been exploding. That, had you purchased one coin a year ago at $3000, you\\u2019d see that investment being worth about $40K today. So, where historically Bitcoin and cryptocurrency has been something we\\u2019ve known exists, it\\u2019s seemed to be of little consequence so we paid no attention to it. Well, it now has our attention!

Why has Crypto, out of nowhere it seems, skyrocketed in price and therefore awareness?\\xa0

\\xa0

There are many complex reasons that are above my pay grade. To sum those explanations up into one \\u2018at the end of the day\\u2019 reason is that major institutional investors with millions and billions of dollars, who have never before invested in the blockchain, are now moving their fiat currency (government-backed) to this new land of opportunity. The sentiment has become, \\u201cif those smart cookies are moving their money there, well, maybe I should too.\\u201d\\xa0

\\xa0

What is cryptocurrency in a nutshell and is it safe?\\xa0

\\xa0

It is a newer way of decentralizing our financial system that allows for full transparency. \\u201cDecentralized\\u201d meaning there is no central authority that manages the records or has any say in the network. The government-controlled US dollar is reaching record highs of inflation and devaluation. Old forms of retirement funds and investments are becoming less and less reliable as a way of saving for your future.\\xa0

\\xa0

So, for those who see the current financial system as fragile due to the current state of affairs (printing dollars like monopoly money), crypto is fast becoming the new marketplace to transact and store money (among many other cool things).\\xa0\\xa0

\\xa0

As a result, it\\u2019s becoming easier and easier to transact using a token like bitcoin. Payment processors such as Square\\u2019s Cashapp and Paypal give the option to buy and sell bitcoin in their apps. These bigger institutions are starting to recognize that cryptocurrency is here to stay and they don\\u2019t want to miss the boat.\\xa0

\\xa0

Blockchain technology is considered radically disruptive in that it has the capability to transform every trust-based interaction of our lives, from financial services to identity, from health care to our election system. There are endless possibilities for the framework that cryptocurrency is built around. So, blockchain technologies are considered highly disruptive and expected to radically change life as we know it. Like trying to remember the day pre-internet, there will be a day in the not so far away future where we\\u2019ll try to remember life before cryptocurrency.\\xa0

\\xa0

What about cryptocurrency as an investment?\\xa0

\\xa0

Cryptocurrency may become a leading place to steer investment dollars. If you ask my\\xa0 Crypto-genius friends they wholeheartedly believe that the BlockChain and Cryptocurrency IS the future. It\\u2019s just a matter of time. And where it was believed to be a way out, it\\u2019s now believed that the time is now.\\xa0

\\xa0

What is the difference between Blockchain and Cryptocurrency?\\xa0

\\xa0

This was one of my first questions when I was trying to understand the basics of this new landscape. The two terms were often conflated and used interchangeably which caused me to think they were the same thing. One doesn\\u2019t really exist without the other, but they are different. To over-simplify, think of Cryptocurrency as \\u201cvirtual money\\u201d. It\\u2019s considered a digital asset that functions as a medium of exchange (like cash in digital form). The \\u201ctechnology\\u201d behind the cryptocurrencies are called Blockchains -- which serve as a shared ledger that records all transactions and is controlled by a global network of computers (not people).\\xa0

\\xa0

New decentralized \\u201csolutions\\u201d are being built using the blockchain to give more freedom and privacy to those who value these two things. For example, if you wish to use a search engine to post your information and/or search information and not be censored, retargeted, or see Ad-based and/or Google censored rankings, you can find a blockchain-based startup called Presearch. It\\u2019s a decentralized search engine in direct competition with Google. This is an early-stage startup so who knows. But for me, it\\u2019s something I\\u2019m curious about because I for one am sick of Google monitoring my every move. And, I can\\u2019t imagine I\\u2019m the only one.\\xa0

\\xa0

Okay. That\\u2019s my download on Cryptocurrency. I hope that made some semblance of sense! If so, and you\'re now thinking \\u201cwhat next\\u2026\\u201d

\\xa0

Here\\u2019s what next:\\xa0

\\xa0

I\\u2019d like to introduce you to my good friend and Crypto-coach, Boris Peysakhov. He\\u2019s been my Crypto guru, mentor, teacher, and advisor. I\\u2019ve put six-figures into Crypto so far this year (yes 2021) with the guidance of Boris. And, so far so good! Thank you Boris <3.\\xa0

\\xa0

After working with and coaching me (and a few others) he\\u2019s put together a Beginner\\u2019s guide to Cryptocurrency. It will teach you everything you need to know to get you comfortable with and acclimated to the Crypto world. You\\u2019ll be able to meet friends out for dinner and sound like you know what you\\u2019re talking about! :) And, you\\u2019ll get Boris\\u2019 allocation spreadsheet as a guide to help you place your first investment -- that I have no doubt you\\u2019ll want to do after watching his program. Even if it\\u2019s just $100, you\\u2019ll finish knowing the basics and be able to say that you made your first investment into Cryptocurrency.\\xa0
