Cryptocurrency: what is it and should I be investing in it?

We’ve had a few clients asking us about cryptocurrencies, or ‘digital currencies’, recently and whether they should be part of their investment strategy.

Debt. It’s an often misunderstood term. For your average Australian, it’s typically perceived as a dirty word, conjuring up a degree of anxiety in the process. When it comes to the D-word, Australia is one of the most leveraged countries in the world.
