On todays podcast I am happy to be hosting Glen Goodman,  Successful Trader and author of the book "The Crypto Trader: How anyone can make money trading Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies". During the interview we talked about Glens career, his trading strategy and the fallacy of HODLing. Glen Goodman is an investor and former TV Business Correspondent. He was employed by ITN and the BBC, Britain's largest news broadcasters. Glen quit because his investing hobby had been generating a decent annual income for quite a while so he no longer needed to have a job. Glen has been investing for two decades and like most novices he made some costly mistakes in the early years. But unlike most novices, he stuck with it, read several shelf-fulls of books & articles, and started making good money. ​​​Glen wrote the Crypto Trader to share the combined wisdom of many of the best investors, boiled down into a system that works for him. Glen believes the more successful small investors there are, the less power the professional fund managers and bankers have over us. GlenWebsite - https://www.glengoodman.com/Twitter - https://twitter.com/glengoodmanFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/thesharesguy/WTFinance:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/wtfinancee/Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/67rpmjG92PNBW0doLyPvfnTikTok - https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMeUjj9xV/iTunes - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wtfinance/id1554934665?uo=4Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthony-fatseas-761066103/Twitter - https://twitter.com/AnthonyFatseas
