Gentleman Speculator

Factory financial advice limits high achievers. Successful people will often credit things like skills acquired, stepping stone achievements, risk taking, connections made, and luck for their greatest accomplishments. They don’t credit a goals based plan for retirement that they made 30 years ago!Instead of being laser focused on retirement, the alternative is to be a craftsman in something, have broad interests,  take small risks & be a tinkerer,  and don't retire, just pivot. The singer of "Seven Nation Army" provides the model.  Show Notes: https://simplewealthkc.com/jack-white-tinkering-the-limits-of-goals-based-planning-podcast/ Subscribe to emails at https://www.gentlemanspeculator.com/ Andy Flattery is the Owner of Simple Wealth Planning, a Registered Investment Advisor.

I had the wonderful privilege to make a pilgrimage to the monastery of the Benedictines of Mary, Queen of the Apostles.

"So why won't there be bitcoin banks that do this (custody) for you? I think there will be, but there's always going to be one problem with this, which is that bitcoin transactions are irreversible.
