With her vast experience in Wall Street, Krawcheck shares her perspective on cryptocurrency and whether EllaVest includes it in their investment strategies.The second interview brings forward Nick Mayer, the founder of Provocative Science, who unveils a fascinating approach to the environmental impact of Bitcoin mining.
