Show Notes
Today I talk with Darcy Ungaro. Darcy is a financial advisor, a Bitcoiner, and he also hosts the NZ Everyday Investor Podcast.
This episode is very much a crossover where we talk about our views on Bitcoin and what the future may look like. Wealth and investment planning strategies traditionally involve things like real estate, stocks, and KiwiSaver, but for many people these pathways are no longer realistic options and more and more people are seeking alternatives, such as Bitcoin.
There is a lot going on out there. It sometimes seems like we are entering a brave new world where things will never be the same again. As the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius once wrote:
"Consider frequently, how swiftly all things which exist, are swept away, and carried off."
Perhaps it is the change presented by an unchangeable money called Bitcoin that will help us move in a better direction?
