Shownotes Transcript

Chris Dunn is a world-renowned entrepreneur, investor, and educator. He has unique expertise in crypto-currencies that he developed off a background in day trading.  He uses this powerful medium to profit off trades in Bitcoin and other crypto-currencies as well as direct investments in Fin-tech start-ups. 

Chris joins us from his base in Austin, Texas to give us his perspective on how the average investor may look to play Bitcoin, what the risks are, how to acquire and store digital coins, and what the future may look like. It is an eye-opening episode and a great intro to the new and complicated category of crypto-currencies.
