The event was aimed at educating the community about the shift to digital currency and to make the digital world less intimidating.
“Right now it’s the wild Wild West out there and that’s why we say it’s important to look for the signs of what’s good and what’s not,” said Reginald Braziel CEO of Highrise Elite Marketing.
Braziel said before people should ask which cryptocurrency or NFTs are best to invest in, you should first know what they are. In short, cryptocurrency is essentially digital value or money while NFTs are like one-of-a-kind trading cards.So, you can trade Bitcoin for Bitcoin because they are the same. But, if you trade NFTs, which are not fungible, you’ll have something completely different than before because each is unique.Cryptocurrency and NFTs are valued by how sought-after they are, so the price varies almost like stocks.“Basically, like teach you from every different angle.
Unfortunately, with new opportunities comes new scams and people should be aware before navigating the digital world. The crypto series had a handful of speakers giving insight, trying to break down what to know, what to look out for, and what to be wary of. “The best way to not allow something to consume you is to stay ahead of it and that’s what we’re planning on doing at this event,” said Adrian Vega, who is vice president of marketing at Highrise Elite.
