He also explains why scams are a feature of every new technology wave, not a reason to dismiss the technology itself.We cover:- The real difference between crypto and blockchain- Why “blockchain without crypto” is usually pointless- Why scams are common in new technologies—and why crypto is actually traceable- How to store crypto safely using hardware wallets and seed phrases- Why new investors should start with Bitcoin before touching altcoins- The risks of leaving assets on exchanges- Why Jared is skeptical of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs)- The long-term risks facing fiat currencies—and why Bitcoin may matter more than everJared’s perspective is pragmatic, grounded, and refreshingly calm in a space full of hype and fear. Whether you’re crypto-curious or deeply skeptical, this conversation offers clarity without evangelism.
