Thomas Hlohinec is Certified in Blockchain & Digital Assets and has been involved in the blockchain and cryptocurrency space for about a decade. You’ll hear his journey and Thomas will break down the pros and cons of investing in digital assets as you plan for your golden years. \n**This event is purely educational.

Products will NOT be pitched.** \nAgenda\n\nWelcome & Introductions\nAlternative Investments Overview\nIntro to Cryptocurrency\nEstate Planning & Tax Considerations\nCrypto Allocation Hypotheticals\nQ & A\n\n🔹 Cryptocurrency in the Context of a Modern Portfolio\nWe’ll explain how cryptocurrency is typically viewed alongside traditional and alternative assets such as stocks\, bonds\, real estate\, and gold. This includes: \n\nWhy crypto is often discussed as an alternative asset\nHow it differs from traditional inflation hedges like gold\nCommon reasons investors consider (or avoid) crypto exposure\nWhere crypto may — or may not — fit in long-term retirement planning\n\n🔹 Risk\, Volatility & Suitability\nCrypto introduces a different type of risk profile than most traditional investments. To help make this tangible\, we’ll walk through: \n\nThe primary risks associated with crypto ownership\nHow volatility impacts portfolio behavior\nWhy risk tolerance matters more than headlines\nHow time horizon and financial goals influence suitability\n\nAs part of the seminar\, attendees will be guided through a risk questionnaire designed to help assess whether any crypto exposure should be considered — and if so\, what amount may be appropriate. \n🔹 Crypto Allocation Considerations\nFor those evaluating whether crypto belongs in a portfolio at all\, we’ll discuss: \n\nHow institutional investors and professional investors typically think about allocation size\nCommon mistakes investors make with over- or under-allocation\nThe importance of integrating crypto into an overall plan rather than holding it in isolation\n\n🔹 Different Ways to Access Cryptocurrency\nThere are multiple ways investors gain exposure to crypto\, each with different trade-offs. We’ll provide an overview of: \n\nDirect ownership vs. investment vehicles\nCustody considerations and access methods\nTax implications across different access structures\nPros and cons of each approach from a planning perspective\n\n🔹 Tax & Planning Considerations\nCrypto creates unique tax and planning complexities. We’ll cover high-level considerations such as: \n\nGeneral tax treatment of crypto transactions\nHow buying\, selling\, gifting\, or inheriting crypto may differ from other assets\nWhy record-keeping and coordination matter\nHow crypto interacts with retirement and estate planning conversations\n\n🔹 Q&A and Next Steps\nWe’ll conclude with an open Q&A where attendees can ask questions and explore topics most relevant to their situation.
