Problem: How to tell a relative you don’t want to invest in their NFT scam

SHOW NOTES

This problem was plucked from ARTNews and their fairly new advice column for the art community, Hard Truths. Charlie delves into a problem involving a two successful brothers and the art and technology that divides them (among other things).

This is a great example of how we can miss a potentially huge opportunity to further our knowledge, experiences and maybe even our finances by being closed-minded to new, intimidating ideas.

Charlie suggests that, because everything (especially emerging technology) is evolving so quickly (thanks to the pandemic), we have to seize opportunities to continuously learn at every opportunity and continuously -- even if the opportunity comes to you buy way of your scamming younger brother and his Silicon Valley slick tech-investing friends!
