Prior to discussing her purchase of bitcoin, Orman had spoken several times about her interest in crypto and her investment in Microstrategy stock last June, which she used as a proxy for bitcoin.
“Truthfully, I didn’t really know how to buy a large amount of bitcoin,” Orman said.
Orman also expressed her frustration with the technical aspects of buying and holding crypto, including how to create a crypto wallet.
But Orman’s interview with NextAdvisor wasn’t all looking through rose colored glasses: The financial guru also admitted being concerned about bitcoin due to the regulatory crackdowns happening in China and the looming specter of U.S.
