Cryptocurrency investors have been on an emotional roller coaster over the last 18 months. And if you're just getting into the game, choosing the right digital currency exchange can be intimidating. In this episode of The Spencer Lodge Podcast, I am speaking with Nick Saponaro from Divi. Divi is a blockchain startup that creates an exchange for digital currencies and shares alternative ways to diversify and hedge your portfolio, including cryptocurrency investing. Divi's main goal? Making digital currency trading as easy as using PayPal. Nick and I discuss Dubai's adoption of crypto, how anyone can get into the crypto space through Divi, Divi's business model and how to mitigate any risks with cryptocurrency trading. Nick was a fascinating guest to speak to, and at only 29 years old, he's one of the youngest and brightest CEOs I've met in a very long time.   Discussion points 01:45 Nick’s thoughts on Dubai 03:23 How Dubai is adopting crypto 04:12 Nick’s background 07:00 About Divi 08:44 How Divi helps others get into crypto 16:13 The creation of Divi 19:38 Is crypto gambling? 22:50 How Divi is making crypto easy 27:13 Divi’s clients 27:30 La Liga partnership 35:20 Divi’s revenue model 37:12 Different uses of crypto 40:20 Wallet hacking 44:03 Mitigating risks with crypto 46:35 NFTs Show Sponsors: Smartkas: Providing food security as a service Arabian Business: The region’s leading source of business news, analytics, thought-leadership and features.
