Nigel Morris of QED Investors
Investing in cryptocurrency is a hot topic — and a confusing one that raises a lot of questions. Will it make you rich? Will it crash and burn? Is it a good investment, especially for people over 50 — and is there any place for crypto in retirement portfolios?
Financial planner Allan Roth offers a clear and balanced take on the pros and cons of investing in crypto. But if you’ve ever explored the labyrinthine depths of crypto and the blockchain technology it’s based on and found yourself lost, you’re not alone. Even FinTech leaders can get lost down that rabbit hole.
Nigel Morris, Managing Partner of AgeTech Collaborative™ partner QED Investors, was one such wanderer and a self-professed crypto skeptic. But after hosting a discussion about the future of crypto with a trio of industry leaders, he came away with a clearer and downright enthusiastic view of crypto’s promise and what that means for web3 and the future of FinTech.
As Nigel puts it in this article on LinkedIn:
I [now view] crypto and web3 space like a digital Manhattan Project — if you put enough smart people together and give them resources and purpose, they’ll come up with something that can change the world.
How will crypto and web3 change the world? By ushering in a “non-linear revolution” and solving “some of the biggest financial technology problems of [this] generation” — in effect, by bursting the dam of current paradigms through the sheer weight of talent and creative thinking.
And it’s prudent to understand the trajectory of this revolution, even if a full comprehension of the details remains elusive. As Nigel says, the dam is already cracked and will soon collapse: “We are now well past the tipping point, and we owe it to ourselves to lean in... [and] develop a view on crypto and web3 for both defensive and offensive reasons.”
