Are you Crypto Curious?**
This episode will solve some mysteries.
Michael Bummer has considered himself a "tech geek" since the mid-90s. He assembled his own computers and was the first person that he knew to build a website.
He almost invested $5,000 in crypto in 2017 and it would be worth over $100,000 today. He spent the last three years watching crypto from the sidelines.
When he and his colleague/partner in crime Naz and dug deep into the fundamentals and history of what cryptocurrency is, his mind was blown with the potential.
All of a sudden it made so much sense.
He realized that he couldn't stay on the sidelines any longer and watch everyone else profit. He says that while he might have missed out on the first 8 years, he’s not missing out on the next 80!
