What Financial Advisors Should Think, Feel, and Do About Bitcoin, Crypto, and DAOs with Steve Larsen and Adam Blumberg

In a Nutshell: The tentative embrace of Bitcoin and other digital assets by advisors and institutions was one of the biggest stories in financial services this year. As more professionals clear the emotional ("It's a scam!") and educational ("I don't get it.") hurdles, now we have to overcome the operational hurdles. The story of 2022 could very well be how a new wave of fintech platforms and forward-thinking leaders solve those challenges and make digital assets an essential tool in helping clients build wealth.
