Preston Pysh (00:03):
Hey everyone. Welcome to our Wednesday release of The Investor’s Podcast, where we’re talking about Bitcoin fundamentals. On today’s show, we’re talking to a veteran in the space, Mr. Vijay Boyapati. Like our guest last week, Vijay has written some prolific pieces on Bitcoin and why it’s a vital store of value right now. Vijay is great at making complex topics simple to understand, so sit back, get ready and enjoy the discussion.

Intro (00:30):
You’re listening to Bitcoin fundamentals by The Investor’s Podcast Network. Now, for your host, Preston Pysh.

Preston Pysh (00:46):
Hey, everyone. Welcome to The Investor’s Podcast. I’m Preston Pysh, and I’m here with Vijay Boyapati. Vijay, welcome to the show. I’m super pumped to talk to you. I’ve been following you on Twitter for quite a while. Big fan of your writing and I know everyone’s going to really enjoy this conversation. So thanks for taking the time.

Vijay Boyapati (01:05):
Thanks, Preston. It’s really good to be on the show with you. I’ve been a fan of yours for a while. I really enjoy your show. Actually, I was introduced to your show by my cousin in Australia. He’s a huge fan of yours and he’s told me that I need to speak with you and I’m glad I get the chance.

Preston Pysh (01:20):
Man, I’m thrilled to have you. Tell your cousin, I said, hello. We’re the ones that reached out to you Vijay, so we’re excited to have you here. Let’s go ahead and dive into this first question. You’ve been in the space since 2011. There’s not too many people that can say they’ve been in the Bitcoin space since that long. So what I want to do, you’ve seen so much volatility. My God, you’ve seen a lot of volatility.

Preston Pysh (01:42):
What is your pro tip for people that are just coming into this? Because there are so many new people coming into this space right now. They’re concerned, they don’t know what to think. They’ve watched their investment go 100% in the last six months or whatever. What’s your advice for people that are just coming in?
