How should you buy Bitcoin if you're over 40 or already retired? A @UNLV class of near-retirees and retirees sent us their five hardest questions about Bitcoin. No hype, no jargon, just real answers for people who don't have 30 years to wait.
Bob Burnett, Larry Lepard, and Gary Leland sit down with the questions most Bitcoin shows never bother to answer: does it even matter if you're already retired, how to buy Bitcoin, your first $500 without becoming a tech expert, and how do you NOT make the one expensive mistake that wipes you out.
Plus the silver vs Bitcoin debate that broke a Twitter poll wide open. Which would you buy if you had to sell it in one year?
If you're over 40 and over 50 Bitcoin-curious but tired of being talked down to, this one's for you.
