Great podcast, it was interesting to listen to. I think books about cryptocurrencies and trading are great, but they are not suitable for real trading, especially for beginners. That's why I use https://nonbank.io/. I like the fact that I can connect a hardware wallet to my unbanked account, which provides offline storage of private keys and protection from online threats.
