Blockchain and cryptocurrencies has been a hot topic lately. So what are they really?

According to Investopedia.com…

“A blockchain is a digitized, decentralized, public ledger of all cryptocurrency transactions. Constantly growing as ‘completed’ blocks (the most recent transactions) are recorded and added to it in chronological order, it allows market participants to keep track of digital currency transactions without central record-keeping. Each node (a computer connected to the network) gets a copy of the blockchain, which is downloaded automatically.”

“Originally developed as the accounting method for the virtual currency Bitcoin, blockchains – which use what’s known as distributed ledger technology (DLT) – are appearing in a variety of commercial applications today. Currently, the technology is primarily used to verify transactions, within digital currencies though it is possible to digitize, code and insert practically any document into the blockchain. Doing so creates an indelible record that cannot be changed; furthermore, the record’s authenticity can be verified by the entire community using the blockchain instead of a single centralized authority.”

If you were like me, it would still be difficult to understand what blockchain really is even with Investopedia’s definition. Fortunately, BBC came up with a simple to understand video about it…

Just a friendly reminder… remember the golden rule in investing — never invest in something you do not understand!

We are excited to announce the first batch of the Associate Financial Planner or AFP program in the UAE for 2018. The AFP’s schedule will be this March 3 & 10, 2018 in Dubai, UAE. This program is exclusive to Filipinos.

Since 2013 the AFP has been helping Filipino financial planners in the Middle East improve their level of competency and professionalism.

What is the AFP^®?

Statistics show that more and more people seek advice from financial planning professionals to alleviate the negative impact of unstable economies  Thus, because of these people, a career in financial planning will be filled with opportunities and challenges. However, even if many people turn to financial advisors for advice,  the dilemma arises in choosing the right financial planner for them, as an increasing number of people in the financial services industry call themselves “financial advisers.” Therefore, there is a need for true financial planning professionals to differentiate themselves and demonstrate confidently that they are truly competent and capable.

This differentiation can be achieved by choosing to become an Associate Financial Planner (AFP^®), a professional designation awarded by the Registered Financial Planners Philippines.
