Farnoosh Torabi
About this episode

I’m excited to announce that this is CRYPTO WEEK! We begin with a conversation with two highly knowledgeable guests who will provide us with the BASICS. What is the history of crypto? What is bitcoin? What is the blockchain? Why should we care?

My guests are Kiana Danial, author of Cryptocurrency Investing for Dummies and CEO of InvestDiva, an award-winning, internationally recognized personal investing and wealth management expert. And my colleague John Puterbaugh who is the editorial director for NextAdvisor, a personal finance publication in partnership with TIME. John has more than 10 years of experience leading editorial teams in personal finance, consumer advocacy, and local news. He’s written extensively about cryptocurrency for NextAdvisor. 

(The ETF referenced in the episode, that Farnoosh has purchased, is BLOK (This is not an endorsement or recommendation.)
