Is crypto just hype, or the foundation of the next financial revolution? Brett Rentmeester, Founder and Managing Director at WindRock Wealth Management, joins Maggie Lake to reveal why he’s been investing in crypto for over a decade, and why he believes we’re only in the early innings of this transformation. In this interview, Brett breaks down the four key categories of crypto—from Bitcoin’s role as a digital store of value to decentralized finance (DeFi), fast-growing consumer platforms like Solana, and the explosive potential of AI-powered blockchain networks. He also shares why tokenized assets and stablecoins could permanently change how money moves. 💡FREE access to our 15 Rick Rule Symposium Interviews by signing up for our Accredited Investor List here: https://wealthion.com/accredited/ 💡Get a one-on-one free review of your portfolio with Brett Rentmeester.
