Cryptocurrency represents a new form of digital asset that sits outside the traditional financial system. It is an asset class that is uncorrelated to the stock market providing investors with a greater opportunity for portfolio diversification. With crypto becoming a more and more popular investment, what makes it so appealing at a time when stock markets are volatile?
In today’s edition of the Knucklehead Podcast, our guest, Jeff Sekinger talks about what attracted him to cryptocurrency investing, why crypto is an important component of a portfolio, as well as the darkest point in his life that led him to where he is today.
Jeff Sekinger is the Chief Investment Officer at Boron Capital, an alternative wealth management firm that specializes in moving people from the volatility of the public markets into private investment fund options focused in real estate and cryptocurrency.
Jeff Sekinger is also the Founder of 0 Percent, a financial consulting firm that empowers people to accelerate their path to financial freedom through financial education and consulting services and Orca Capital, a cryptocurrency hedge fund that manages multiple 8 figures of assets for 60+ limited partners around the globe.

Favorite Quotes
05:49 - "I'm all about personal development. I took a lot of different courses, read books, and I figured out what my highest values were. My highest values were to have freedom, options, and choices to do what I want with my time, energy, and resources. I want to see impact on people. I want an untapped earning potential." - Jeff Sekinger
06:31 - "So, cryptocurrency was the underdog. It was unconventional, it was an alternative asset, and I was just naturally gravitating towards it. And I'm like, why not just shift into something that actually is aligned with my values, and then I'm naturally gravitating towards and doing that in my free time and being even more happy and inspired with what I'm doing." - Jeff Sekinger
10:55 - "There's no denying that crypto is incredibly important to have in your portfolio. The reason is that primarily it has been uncorrelated to other assets. So when you're designing a portfolio, you want to have proper portfolio allocation and well-diversified assets." - Jeff Sekinger
16:05 - "A lot of the coins don't actually have utility. And that's why we like to invest in the coins that are tied to the native blockchain so that we can look at the valuation based on the network effect of all of the data on that blockchain evolving and growing. " - Jeff Sekinger
18:52 - "I really do believe that your problems can become your purpose if you allow them to. And sometimes it takes time for those things to play out. And when they do, everything clicks and you realize those things were meant to be because I have what I have now." - Jeff Sekinger
