“We’re seeing from an advisor’s perspective that understanding how Bitcoin and crypto work from an education perspective is a now defense as opposed to offense. Advisors need to talk about it articulately to their clients—or their clients are gonna go somewhere else.” ~ @cjking711

- Bitcoin is an emerging store value, comparable to gold, even with its extreme volatility. This blue-chip asset satisfies Paul Tudor Jones’ four characteristics of a store value: trustworthiness, liquidity, portability, and purchasing power.
- Advisors need to talk about crypto investing articulately to their clients. They need to be informed and updated with how crypto is changing the investment landscape.
- There are 3 (+1) talking points for advisors when clients are looking into adding crypto to their portfolios. And, in terms of position sizing, a 3-4% slice of a client’s portfolio can be allocated to crypto.
