BeYourOwnBank Podcast: Navigating Crypto & Investing

The BitBros.
Welcome to the BE YOUR OWN BANK Podcast. We are The BitBros. And we are, in fact, brothers from the SAME mother. Let’s face it, most people are not #winning in this economy. Everyone is in debt. Many people have multiple jobs. We can’t afford to do the things we want to do…we do them anyway…but we can’t afford to. Nobody is planning for retirement. Show of hands, who wants to pay bills until you die? Well, we’re here to tell you that there IS a solution. We’re going to show you how to invest…IN YOU. We’re going to help you play the finance game. And that is exactly what it is, a GAME. You can’t win if you don’t play! We are going to teach you the basics of personal finance (because we know you didn’t get that in public school). We’ll teach you how to manage your debt and break those bad habits. We’ll teach you investment strategies. And most importantly we’ll teach you about the evolution and future of money, and why new technology like cryptocurrency is already revolutionizing how we interact with money. So, join us. And learn how to BE YOUR OWN BANK. DISCLAIMER: The BitBros are not registered, financial advisors. All content and analysis are intended for educational purposes only. Investing involves risk. Always do your own research before you invest. Basically, don’t sue us. We’re just trying to help.
