Precious Metals, Real Estate, and Cryptocurrencies are becoming essential components of any successful, high-performing portfolio. As we look towards 2022, I'm keeping my eye on cryptocurrencies. The underlying technology that is the foundation of cryptocurrencies is starting to appear in everything from NFTs to the metaverse.
