My interest in cryptocurrency started a couple of years ago, I wanted to buy a Bitcoin but had no idea how to go about this. I’d heard about hackers and scammers, I had no clue how to go about finding out more and the “way in”. The jargon and blockchain information was slightly over my head and I like to think I’m a fairly smart person!

Whilst my interest in economics began in secondary school, I later worked in the Financial Sector for circa 10 years administering funds for high net worth investors and fund managers in addition to other managerial roles. This book is a culmination of experience, observation, knowledge, learning and re-learning!

I've made it my mission of late to assimilate the information I've since acquired so that more people can benefit by gaining knowledge and understanding. With context and advice delivered in a straight forward way this guide can be a great foundation for people to step into the world of cryptocurrency with more confidence. The cryptocurrency world and the way it works is still a relatively new approach compared with what we are used to and innovation is happening all the time, yet we can not wait in the sidelines for someone to hand us their solution, we need to understand and be involved in making our own choices. It has to start somewhere for everyone and that's where this guide can help.

My entire career in the financial industry and more recently in health and wellness has always been driven by a strong desire to empower people, a passion to share knowledge and tools that will make their job, role or lives easier. K.I.S.S. Crypto is another instance of that.
