💰 Crypto gains trust, blockchain startups, and clubhouse events tonight

Inside the world of digital assets and exciting launches... Hey Investors, Last week Paypal acquired Curv, a crypto-security company that makes digital wallets more secure and easy to use. This is one of many moves by big fintech companies indicating cryptocurrency and digital assets are here to stay. Paypal has also announced plans to expand their crypto products abroad and to let users buy and sell items using crypto. In short: digital assets are gaining trust. Whether you already love crypto or want to understand what’s going on, we’re going to be focusing on it a lot in the coming weeks. (Exciting things on the horizon.) --------------------------------------------------------------- Money is evolving Remember when the internet boomed, everyone started using email, and suddenly sending a piece of physical mail seemed archaic? A similar thing is happening with crypto. Decentralized digital currencies like Bitcoin are soaring in popularity. Ethereum and other projects are set to revolutionize financial transactions as part of the DeFi (decentralized finance) movement. Before crypto, the concept of money was, “I give you this dollar bill and you give me something back.” With the rise of crypto, it’s clear that currency is becoming a much more active asset. Now when we see individuals buying NFTs for millions of dollars, it’s important to remember that they’re putting their money into the Еtherium network. The thinking is changing from “millions of dollars” to “assets in Ethereum and earning yield in a growing economy.” While it may still seem crazy that the future of money could look less like USD in our bank accounts and more like a diverse digital wallet of assets, the trend is moving in that direction. Tesla recently purchased $1.5B worth of Bitcoin, Microstrategy acquired more than $1B in BTC, Square bought more than $150M worth, and Meito just announced a $40M buy. Visa and Mastercard are planning to allow Bitcoin to be used for purchases on their networks. So where does that leave the rest of us navigating the cryptosphere? Crypto enthusiasts are still buying crypto and NFTs are still rising in popularity. A reminder to anyone considering buying digital assets: never invest or spend money that you can’t lose. Crypto isn’t a get-rich-quick scheme and the best way for the average person to buy it is in tiny buys every week to average out the volatility of the market. --------------------------------------------------------------- Investing in the next wave of crypto and digital asset startups Digital asset and blockchain startups are thriving in this environment.
