Cryptocurrency: boom or bust?
Listen now
Description
Everyone's heard of Bitcoin, but what actually is a "cryptocurrency"? Will this digital money replace the cash in our pockets, and can you get rich quick by buying now, or is the boom already over? We speak to someone who made life-changing sums by investing at the right time, and hear from a senior City investor who says buying Bitcoin is like betting on the horses, only less predictable. Sam and Laura also explain, step-by-step, how to get involved yourself - including a cautionary tale from someone who got seriously burned at the height of the craze.
