Key Quotes:

“I just had that gut feeling. It's not always a logical thing where you're like, Okay, I'm gonna make XYZ dollars over this period of time,’ it was just really something that I felt naturally gravitating towards. And I had that gut instinct in me to tell me to go all-in on it [crypocurrency investing].” - Jeff Sekinger

“I think it's actually a bigger risk now to not have exposure to it [cryptocurrency], than the risk of you having exposure to it. I think there's no denying that we're moving into a digital economy.” - Jeff Sekinger

“Number one is to not overcomplicate things, you don't need to over-leverage. You don't need to buy the next meme coin that's going to do a 100,000,000% return in the next 60 days. It's good to bet on fundamentals and have proper diversification ” - Jeff Sekinger
