Prosperous: Investing in Common Sense
Investing seems impossible to understand in lay person terms. The whole subject feels as the realm of acronyms and over-complicated buzzwords. Nonetheless we believe there are ways to break it all down to digestible pieces upon which anyone can feel they can make their own decisions. We discuss the world of investing and also crypto in a way you can understand and learn. Here we try to explain things in a simple way, rather than make us sound like geniuses.
