For most retail investors the hype around cryptocurrencies appears to have calmed down, which shouldn’t come as a surprise given how many caught FOMO and bought when Bitcoin was at $19,000. But, the 4th annual Consensus Blockchain Technology Summit, which kicked off Monday, tells a different story. For the individuals working in cryptocurrencies and Blockchain, the excitement hasn’t died down–it’s…
Welcome to the first official episode of All About Your Benjamins The Podcast. I’m excited to finally have gotten the podcast off the ground, and can’t wait to talk a little cryptocurrency and Blockchain with you today.

A few weeks ago I shared my introduction to Blockchain post for those interested in learning more about Bitcoin, Blockchain, and the other cryptocurrencies. I would have included Patrick O’Shaughnessy’s podcast if it had been out then; it’s such a great introduction to the subject I felt it deserved its own post.
