In this episode of This Week in Wealth I discuss our inaugural Women's Investment Boardroom, the current state of the markets and double click on the implications of rising bond yields. I also ask if the volatility of Bitcoin means it's classified as an investment, speculation, or gambling.

Takeaways:
- The importance of community in investing and finance.

- Bitcoin's volatility raises questions about its classification as an investment.
- Understanding bond yields is crucial for making informed financial decisions.
