I’m super passionate about crypto as it has given me the freedom to be able to do what I want, when I want, with whoever I want.   Now my mission is to try and get as many people enjoying crypto as much as I do. So I teach total beginners how to start investing into crypto to give them a solid portfolio and investment plan. I teach people that already know about crypto how to streamline their portfolios so they are able to get a steady income stream. I also run an investment fund as not everyone has time to learn so I invest for them.   I wasn’t always a cryptopreneur. I used to be an electrician and had my own electrical contracting company. For about 20 years I’ve been trading the financial markets as a hobby/side hustle this was used to pay for my holidays, renovations, etc   I became aware of crypto in 2015 and purchased my first Bitcoin in 2016 but didn’t really think it was something that would stick around but I have always dabbled in it and kept an eye on it as it started to get more and more mainstream.   March 2020 came and Bitcoin was about $4k. Covid 19 was here and we were all in lock down, this is when I really hit it full time. I had temporarily closed my electrical company and just did crypto, this is when I started teaching people over zoom and how to get in and trade crypto.   So at the moment my son runs my electrical business and I just eat, sleep and breathe crypto and I am truly living the dream.   ABOUT THE HOST Alex is a prize-winning chartered accountant with experience in financial markets from trading finance, capital hedging, structural foreign exchange, and interest rates to operational risk from the world’s top financial and advisory institutions including Deloitte, RBS, and JPMorgan Chase Alex has been involved in property development programmes across different types since 2008, building and managing a portfolio that includes standard buy-to-lets, student accommodation and other houses in multiple occupancy (HMOs).
