Show Notes
Your financial advisor says no. Your kids say yes. And Bitcoin already went from pennies to $100,000, so you figure you missed it.
Sound familiar? These five questions come up more than any others, so Larry, Gary, and Bob sat down and answered them, together.
The Top 5 Most-Asked Bitcoin Questions:
My financial advisor told me not to buy Bitcoin. Should I listen to them?
I don't understand the technology. How can I invest in something I don't understand?
What if the government bans Bitcoin?
My kids keep telling me to buy Bitcoin. Since when do I take financial advice from my children?
I missed it. Bitcoin already went from nothing to $100,000. Am I too late?
You'll also hear why your advisor makes NO commission by recommending Bitcoin
