What does the recent history of crypto teach us about it today?

FT Journalist Joshua Oliver won awards for his reporting of the collapse of FTX, the crypto exchange founded by Sam Bankman-Fried, known as SBF, who was sentenced to 25 years in prison for fraud and related crimes in March 2024.

Joshua has written a book on it which you can find here: https://amzn.to/3xjRq8B

This is not financial advice. Don’t invest in cryptocurrency unless you’re prepared to lose all the money you invest. You should not expect to be protected if something goes wrong.

This is not financial advice. The reason it’s not financial advice is because it’s not tailored to you. We explain the principles of building wealth but if you want personalised advice, it’s worth speaking to a financial advisor. As with everything financial, please do your own research. We really encourage that because no one cares more about your money than you and if you learn the basics then it will change your life.
