Crypto vs Stocks: What You Should Know

Investing in crypto is all the rage. It’s in the news, social media, and you’ve probably heard people talking about it in person.

I could think of no other to have a discussion on crypto with than Josh Bannerman. Josh is a Certified Financial Planner and a Marine.

In this episode, Josh breaks down what cryptocurrency is, how it works, why it’s popular, and what you need to know before investing in it.
