Not a crypto workshop.
This is a structured, research-backed full-day workshop designed specifically for financial advisers who want to understand Bitcoin properly. We'll cover the history of money, how today's monetary system works, bitcoin's monetary foundations, and its possible role within a portfolio.
You will leave with a clear, researched basis for either recommending a small allocation to clients - or for confidently justifying why you're maintaining zero exposure.
Financial advisers who:
| 01 | Want to learn about what Bitcoin is, why some deem it valuable, and why big institutions are allocating to it. |
| 02 | Think Bitcoin and crypto are the same thing. |
| 03 | Are concerned about today's investment landscape and looking for solid risk-adjusted returns amidst negative real yields on bonds, equities priced for perfection, and a real estate market at all-time highs. |
| 04 | Want to stay on the front foot and find new investment opportunities for their clients. |
| 05 | Are fielding client questions about Bitcoin and want a well-researched, confident answer. |
| 06 | Are skeptical of Bitcoin, think it's a scam, or think it is going to $0. |
| 07 | Want to know how the big institutions are positioning Bitcoin in their portfolios. |
| 08 | Want to determine if Bitcoin's fundamental properties warrant an allocation within their clients' portfolios. |
| 09 | Think Bitcoin is a solution looking for a problem — it's not; the problem it could solve is clear. |
A full day, in four parts.
