Cryptocurrency seems to be the hype and making waves these days with many people gaining crazy returns from their crypto investments. It certainly sounds very exciting but before we pour our life savings into cryptocurrency, we need to ask ourselves some fundamental questions: how should we form our investment strategy when it comes to cryptocurrency, how do I go about investing in it and how do I make money in this space?

Did you know that The Financial Coconut covers more than just personal finance? This week, we're sharing an episode from one of our podcasts, Our Entrepreneurshit Show (OES). You can get the rest of OES here: https://spoti.fi/35SXxQiMost of us often think that one needs a grand idea to start a business and become an entrepreneur. Chris doesn’t think so. Unlike many entrepreneurs who started their own businesses, he ventured into entrepreneurship as a volunteer at Edible Garden City, a social enterprise that focuses on horticulture and education in Singapore. He then moved his way up to a managerial role where he had to work with both the founders and the team itself.
