In this episode, Lloyd reveals:
◼️ Why Bitcoin isn't the investment you think it is
◼️ The difference between price movement and true value
◼️ Why blockchain technology's value doesn't make Bitcoin a good investment
◼️ The smarter, more predictable way to build lasting wealth
◼️ Why you should invest in assets that produce cash flow, not speculation
