What do you know about cryptocurrency (“crypto”)? Do you know how many cryptocurrencies there are and what they are worth? Should you even care? Crypto supporters regard Bitcoin (BTC) as the currency of the future. Some call it “digital gold” and think it’s more secure than traditional payment systems. Others believe cryptos and blockchain are too complicated, so they’d rather not have anything to do with it. Whatever you think, it’s still preferable if you have a basic understanding of the nature of cryptos.

In this week’s episode, Sharran walks us through a 23-minute crypto course he designed for his 10-year old son. It won’t hurt if you listen to it. After all, you don’t want to be left behind when the whole world embraces cryptos as the new currency.
