Cryptocurrency, a digital currency used to buy goods and services, or is traded for profit, is growing globally and has at least one excited investor in Door County.  One form of cryptocurrency you may be familiar with is Bitcoin, the forerunner that started back in 2009.  Sean Linnan of Sturgeon Bay started researching over twenty forms of cryptocurrency about five years ago and began investing about a year after that.  Not a fan of Bitcoin, Linnan says he is no cryptocurrency expert by any means.  Still, he recently did a presentation at a Sturgeon Bay Rotary Club meeting sharing his knowledge of how to buy, why to buy, or not to buy digital assets.   Comparing it to investing in stocks, he predicts that cryptocurrency will be a technological revolution that will eventually overhaul the entire financial world.

Linnan spends about five to six hours a day dabbling in cryptocurrency and estimates he is part of the one percent who invested early on.  He says it is also about investing in the companies using the technology.  You can listen to the entire interview with Sean Linnan on the podcast page.
