Keep The Change

Bitcoin. It’s at all time highs and it’s all the rage AGAIN! Mikey and Luke invite Darcy Ungaro from Ungaro & Co which Is a Registered Financial Service Provider to discuss this internet coin, thing?! Darcy also hosts ‘The Everyday Investor’ podcast. This conversation turns into a 2 hour conversation around bitcoin and what the hell it’s all about. We go down many roads: is money broken? Is it an inflation hedge? Are people ‘short’ the NZ dollar? Do home owners understand this but not buy it? Did Luke lose 0.4 of one in Vegas? If you’ve been interested in Bitcoin this will get your mind spinning. Note: this isn’t a bitcoin basics podcast but we’ll do one of those soon too.This isn’t a recommendation to buy Bitcoin either, it’s a discussion around what is going on. Hosted on Acast.
