#28 The King of Crypto, Rodrigo Benadon ➡️ Bitcoin

In this episode, I take the podcast to South America, to speak to Rodrigo Benadon, the founding partner of Crypto Investment Fund Moonquant.Capital Rod was actually speaking to me from Miami earlier this week, as he is attending one of the world's biggest crypto conference's. This is a really fascinating conversation and a real treat for all of you guys who tune into this episode. Rod is a super intelligent, super interesting crypto expert, who has committed the last nine years of his life to understanding this space and then to go on and build a very successful Crypto Investment Fund, where he advises and manages his investors money across the crypto investment sector. It's become very clear in the last twelve months, that investing in crypto and Bitcoin in particular is becoming more popular, and particularly when we see institutional money and Wall Street getting involved in a huge way, and also becoming very vocal in thier support for this asset class. What I really wanted to find out in this conversation was firstly, what is Bitcoin, is it Money, who controls it, what can we use it for, and why does there appear to be so much push back of late from central governments and let's call them the ruling classes. We get into all of this and much more including discussing why Warren Buffet hate it, Elon Musk's behaviour and impact on the Volatility of Bitcoin, and "Rich Dad Poor Dad's" Robert Kiyosaki's support and enthusasiasm for Bitcoin and crypto in general. I put it to Rod that people don't understand money, never mind Bitcoin, so how will adoption on a mass scale actually take place ? Rod is very clear, Bitcoin is better than money, and just like blockbuster went out of business as Netflix came along with a better solution, the same will happen with bitcoin and certain crypto solutions. Maybe this is true,maybe it isn't, whatever your view, I hope you guys get some value from this conversation and enjoy this episode, as much as I did putting it together. As ever all feedback most welcome, and you can reach me on [email protected] I'm looking forward to getting Rod back on the pod already, but until then, Look after yourself and each other CD ☘ ps Please leave me a short review wherever you get your podcasts 🖥
