In times of uncertainty in the global economy and volatility in the markets, investors tend to rely on safe haven assets to protect some of the downside in their portfolios. There has been some controversy in recent years as to whether Bitcoin should be considered a safe haven asset and an alternative to gold. This subject will be discussed at the cocktail, and we hope that the presentations will help you to better understand these markets and find actionable investment ideas.

We hope to see many of you on November 19^th!
