In episode 3 we speak with Jeff Hancock, an IT Security expert turned crypto startup founder.
In his Show & Tell segment, which you can find on our YouTube channel, Jeff looks at how pound cost averaging (or dollar cost averaging) can make investing in digital assets easier over the long run.
Specifically he looks at how this strategy would have served a FTSE100 investor and a BTC investor over the last ten years. The results are, how shall we say, compelling!
