Last Friday, during a casual game night, a buddy brought up his new crypto investment. He equated it to his childhood baseball card hobby, saying both are about holding and hoping. I had to jump in and talk about blockchains versus cardboard, which got everyone listening. It was a fun but unexpected way to discuss beginner investing concepts.
Back in the day, my uncle would call his broker for every trade. Now I can do it from my couch in seconds. Some folks argue that the personal advice was worth the cost, while others say apps make investing open to everyone. I'm split on whether we've gained more than we've lost. What's your take on old school vs. new school investing?
