The world of cryptocurrency is full of misinformation and confusion. And in light of recent news stories around criminal activity tied to crypto, it’s time to debunk some myths.  This week, episode 146 of the Tech Intersect™ Podcast is about busting the myth that crypto is for criminals! 

Some of the talking points I cover in this episode include:
