“It’s become clear that blockchain and cryptocurrency are here to stay. RIADAC is one of the few (maybe only?) organizations shedding light on this challenging topic in a manner designed for RIAs. Whether or not an advisor finds it appropriate for clients, simply being able to explain “what is bitcoin” places the advisor ahead of others. Thanks for bringing together authorities on the subject for the webinar. It was very educational.”KEVIN BOURKE, CFP®, ChFC, advisor since 1987 and Author of Make Your Money Last a Lifetime™

“Like many, I initially dismissed bitcoin as an investment fad or a bubble. I viewed it like tech stocks in 1999 or real estate in 2005. The error I made was in not taking the time to understand the underlying technology, what it is, and how it may impact the world. When I saw RIADAC offering a webinar, I immediately signed up. The information was useful and relevant. I signed up for RIADAC’s certification program to continue my learning process. It would behoove everyone in the financial space to become literate in this new language of cryptocurrency. It has the power to change the world. ”DANA ANSPACH, CFP®, RMA®, Kolbe Certified™ Consultant (6-5-8-2)
