Artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency aren’t a passing trend, according to Fred Hubler, Chief Wealth Strategist at Creative Capital Wealth Management Group, who argues the next decade of technological change will move faster than anyone has imagined.
- Blockchain analogy: Hubler compares the blockchain to an “App Store,” with Bitcoin and Ethereum functioning as apps built on top of it, providing security and scarcity to digital assets.
- Real-world use cases: he points to property records and smart contracts (such as selling tickets to someone you don’t know) as areas where blockchain technology could remove the need for intermediaries.
- Business impact: private blockchains between companies handling accounts receivable and accounts payable could reduce the need for many traditional back-office roles.
- How to invest: since major tech companies aren’t yet advertising their own blockchain projects, Hubler says the clearest way to gain exposure right now is investing directly in crypto, even in small amounts like $25 to $50.
- Risk management: he treats crypto as “fun money” outside a retirement portfolio, and recommends dollar-cost averaging over time to reduce volatility rather than investing a lump sum all at once.
