She participated in the conference TD Ameritrade LINC in Orlando, Florida, on Wednesday. During his speech, he explained why he could not separate Blockchain of Bitcoin. “In reality, it is very difficult to decouple Blockchain and Bitcoin (…). On the one hand, how do we market the value of DLT and Blockchain to bring more innovation to the traditional markets? At the other end of the spectrum: How to take advantage of this asset class rising?”. He makes this clarification for those investors who want to enter the industry trying to separate the two elements. It is important that, before starting an investment, you know well in what exactly you are going to invest. Therefore, before recommending an amount of BTC to start, it is essential to warn that I know the first thing you need is to be informed about the topic.

However, the benefits of Bitcoin far outweigh these points, and it is for this reason that every day more people want to bet on the digital currency.
