He’s back for the second time on the show; one of my favourite guests – Business Cycle Economist, Investment Strategist & Economic Historian - Raoul Pal. Raoul is one of the most sought-after crypto experts, and with world-wide panic around a looming recession, failing markets and crypto meltdown – I wanted to speak with someone to understand the state of cryptocurrency better right now. In this episode, Raoul shares advice on what people should do with their excess cash, what you need to know about the crypto market, lessons from buying his first Bitcoin, Raoul’s opinions on Ethereum, staking your crypto and so much more.
