About this episode

If you’re like Ali, you may be curious why all the buzz around Bitcoin. It kinda seems crazy, right, a rogue monetary system completely made up by some guy? But it hasn’t fizzled away. In fact, cryptocurrency seems to be only gaining validation and steam. So perhaps it’s time to understand it, even just a little bit. Crypto billionaire Mike Novogratz, a pioneer of the industry, presents Crypto 101. He explains what it is, why it got a bad name in the early days, how it works now and how it will most likely work in the future…and speaking of future…Mike says it’s called the Metaverse. Fasten your seatbelts! //


If you have questions or guest suggestions, Ali would love to hear from you. Call or text her at (323) 364-6356. Or email go-ask-ali-podcast-at-gmail.com. (No dashes) //
