What The Elle - 💸 Money Cheat Sheet: Got Crypto FOMO?

This week’s money mood: Crypto FOMO

Bitcoin and NFTs and blockchain … oh, my! Crypto and its cousins are new to the news cycle, but lately, it’s felt like the conversation’s getting louder. It’s understandable to wonder whether you should be “getting in on the ground floor” of the “next big thing” — or whether it’s OK to just avoid it and move on.

So we turned to the person we always ask when we have big investing questions like this: Ellevest’s chief investment officer, Dr. Sylvia Kwan. She wrote an article on the topic (check it out below), and we chatted about it on IG Live, too.

We hope these resources help you feel good about your next move.

See you next week!
