Your FREE eBook, “The Crypto Handbook”, is ready to download

4th July 2023 | Sam Volkering

BlackRock, Fidelity, WisdomTree, VanEck, ARK, Invesco… combined, these giant asset managers have in excess of $14.5 TRILLION assets under management.

They are also just a handful of traditional finance gigafunds that are moving to get bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) off the ground. In short, “TradFi” is coming to crypto in a BIG way.

What you see them doing now is a snapshot of what’s coming next.

It’s arguably never been as important for all levels of investors and corporate decision-makers to understand what the crypto industry is really about and where it’s going.

None of this is news to me. But it might be to some.

That’s why in March 2022, I started a conversation with financial publisher Harriman House. The core idea was to write and publish a new book on the crypto industry, covering everything from the basics of bitcoin, altcoins, stablecoins, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), Web3, exchanges, security and storage, and more, through to data analysis and trends, emerging sectors and interviews with industry leaders and people inside the industry.

The result of all this, and over a year’s worth of hard graft, is my new book, The Crypto Handbook.

You’ll find a link to your FREE eBook version below.

It’s my second book focusing in on the crypto industry, but this one is a more structured, detailed guide to everything you need to know when it comes to the crypto industry and where it’s heading.

Even my brother commented (he got one of my early release editions), “I’m halfway through your book. It’s good. Your writing style has changed from the first one a bit. Maybe less casual, more decisive. You’re speaking with a greater authority in this one.”

He’s right. My aim was that any investor or corporate decision-maker can pick up this book and gain valuable insight into the crypto industry and the crypto market, as well as hear first-hand from some of the big names involved in it.

That’s why my book includes interviews from:

  • Luc Froehlich, global head of digital assets at Fidelity
  • Ben Brophy, head of Fidelity Blockchain Centre of Excellence
  • James Putra, vice president and head of product at TradeStation
  • Hector McNeil, CEO of HANetf
  • Lawrence Wintermeyer, chair of GBBC Digital Finance
  • Dr Jemma Green, co-founder at Powerledger.

I’m thrilled with how it’s all come together and how it’s turned out.

And what’s great news for you is that the eBook is completely FREE for you to download.

You can download your FREE eBook copy of The Crypto Handbook right here.

Of course, if you’re not a fan of eBooks, and (like me) would prefer to read a physical book in your hands, you can also get a hardback copy. You’ll find it on sites like the following:

Amazon
Harriman House
WHSmith
Browns Books

… and lots of other book shops around the world (just Google “The Crypto Handbook Sam Volkering” to find lots of other bookstores).

I hope you enjoy it. I welcome feedback, so if you’ve got a review, you can freely leave that on those sites above too, or just send your thoughts to feedback@southbankresearch.com.

Again, you can download your FREE eBook copy of The Crypto Handbook here.

Thanks again, and I hope you like it.

Important Risk Warning

Advice in Altucher’s Investment Network Pro UK does not constitute a personal recommendation.

Any advice should be considered in relation to your own circumstances, risk tolerance and investment objectives. Before investing you should carefully consider the risks involved, including those described below. If you have any doubt as to suitability or taxation implications, seek independent financial advice.

General – Your capital is at risk when you invest, never risk more than you can afford to lose. Past performance and forecasts are not reliable indicators of future results. Bid/offer spreads, commissions, fees and other charges can reduce returns from investments. There is no guarantee dividends will be paid.

Small cap shares - Shares recommended may be small company shares. These can be illiquid meaning they are hard to trade and can have a large bid/offer spread. If you need to sell soon after you bought, you might get back less that you paid. This makes them riskier than other investments in larger share companies.

Overseas investments - Shares may be denominated in a currency other than sterling. The return from these may increase or decrease as a result of currency fluctuations. Any dividends will be taxed at source in the country of issue.

Unregulated investments - The Financial Conduct Authority does not regulate certain activities, including the buying and selling of commodities. This means that you will not have the protection of the Financial Ombudsman Service or the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.

Taxation – Profits from share dealing are a form of income and subject to taxation. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may be subject to change.
