Austin, Texas-based advisor Jim Crider describes the global monetary system as “broken” and at risk of a host of scary meltdown scenarios. And while Crider believes [spot bitcoin ETFs](https://www.etf.com/topics/spot-bitcoin) are a nice way to ride the price appreciation of the digital currency, they still fall well short of providing people with the full benefits of owning bitcoin directly.

In this episode of Advisor Insider, Crider talks to etf.com Wealth Management Editor Jeff Benjamin about making enemies in the financial services space for his bold views on crypto.

Tune in to hear clear and concise education on why cryptocurrencies are gaining so much appeal, where it’s heading and what the risks are of ignoring the trend.

Jim Crider is the founder of the financial planning firm Intentional Living FP.
