2024 Bitcoin Chart Prediction.

This is my Bitcoin chart.

I'm going to be very upfront and straightforward with what I see happening.

That's what I've realised about my accuracy.

When you take what you see on the charts, you become very objective, not subjective.

You trade what you see, not what you want to see.

Therefore, this approach brings the best results by maintaining a robotic approach.

.

Here is the link to the chart:

.

So before I tell you the plan for 2024,

Let me explain how simple the previous price action was.

This will shift your thinking of technical analysis if you really understand.

.

Notice that the bottom was called by a bullish divergence; we only got one touch, but as this was on the weekly chart, this is enough.

Now the top two arrows facing down clearly show a resistance.

That breakout after the second arrow facing down shows a break in bearish structure.

Resistance was tested twice, then we broke out, and then retested and held support.

Stay with me now.

.

This breakout also showed us another thing.

It shows the change in market structure.

How?

The entire trend was bearish as it was making lower lows and lower highs.

But as soon as we broke out and the price created a higher high, going above the previous lower high.

Also, what supported this break in structure from bearish to bullish is the fact that the price then failed to go below the previous lower high.

This is shown as the price held the retest and acted as support, shown by the two arrows facing up.

This was how I was able to exactly long from 25k, as it was a simple breakout and retest which continued higher.

.

Now what is going on now?

it is clear that after a breakout and retest from the lows, price is filling liquidity.

Liquidty from where you may ask.

Well the entire down trend from 2022 was bearish

and during 2023 I said we would be  basically retesting the bearish trend.

This was made clear in the 2023 outlook I posted on pattern and is exactly what happened as price pumped to 49k.

.

As price had reached 49k then we  expected a  correction as 50k got front run.

Why?

As its a key level as well as a psychological level by being a round number.

Also the fact we had many weeks bullish suggests we are due a correction before the real null run.

Now why do I believe this.

Not only because there is a bearish divergence at 49k where we topped of.

But also because the bitcoin halving is in April.

And by looking at every previous bitcoin halving there is a pattern in which bitcoin sells off  leading to the actual halving and then the bull run starts to go high.

This seems to be the exact same scenario happening here for bitcoin halving in April.

.

.

You may ask, why is there a sell-off in Bitcoin leading up to the halving?

I will explain why this happens.

But first, you need to understand who does the halving impact the most.

The answer is the miners, as their rewards for mining are cut in half.

So, the reason the price falls leading up to the halving is due to anticipation and uncertainty from miners as they start to sell.

Why do they sell?

Miners receive fewer new Bitcoins as rewards, impacting their profits.

This makes them want to sell their existing holdings to cover costs, increasing supply.

After the halving,

The reduced supply of new Bitcoins mixes with growing demand, creating a scarcity effect.

This, combined with increased interest and positive sentiment, can lead to a higher Bitcoin price during the subsequent bull run.

The market perception shifts from uncertainty before the halving to optimism about Bitcoin's scarcity and potential value after it, which leads to the bull run.

Interesting, right? Now, let's go back to the topic.

.

.

So, I see a pullback occurring as we reached 50k, which is a key level, and the Bitcoin halving is near.

From a chart perspective, we had multiple bullish weeks, and we need a retracement to go higher.

Now, you may ask, how deep will this pullback be?

I will tell you,

As the Bitcoin bull run is near, you do not want to be underpositioned because you missed your entry by a few dollars.

So, I decided to be very strategic about it.

We will Dollar Cost Average our entries and be well-positioned.

I have set multiple entries at:

• $38,000
• $34,500
• $31,400

.

There are confluences to why these levels are key.

Not only is it a key support after a breakout, but notice the trend line.

The trend line around 30k acted as resistance twice, then price broke out, and now the support of the trend line correlates with the support of the breakout.

This proves as extra liquidity of support needed to be taken before going higher.

.

The reason $31,400 will be my final entry is because that is also my invalidation level on my thesis.

If the price goes below that level, this idea will be wrong.

This is what separates me from other traders like CAPO.

I know where I am wrong and will be willing to accept it.

Why is this my invalidation level?

This is simply because that will be the perfect retest for bitcoin from a resistance that turned into support.

So if the price fails to hold that level then it would have broken bullish structure.

And remember breaking structure is the first signs of a change in trend.

.

Here is the link to the chart:

https://www.tradingview.com/x/JmFC6z6g/ 

.

Nevertheless, this is a bullish market, and pullbacks will be buying.

This is what I mean by buying strategically, knowing your entry as well as knowing your exit.

Now, this is what separates me from other fake traders.

It would be in my best interest for me to set some silly target that Bitcoin will reach $150k, and we will sell there.

That is what most people do.

But I actually care about you if you are reading this post.

So the truth is the top will be when the charts tell me, and each divergence will be a warning.

Let's not forget this is coming from ionicXBT, the person who publicly called the top last cycle at 69k.

I actually know how to spot the top and will do so again this cycle.

So let's win properly.

How Do You Start Trading With Low Capital?

Avoid This Silly Mistake That 90% Of Traders Do.

Unlocking the Trader's Holy Grail.

You Must Stay Away From This 1 Mistake.

Do not make this mistake.

This mistake has cost people thousands during a time where they could have made millions.

This simple mistake is not spoken enough.

I have fallen victim to this many times.

Even the most aggressive minded traitors have struggled with this in the past.

That my friends is called the "Cost Of Hesitation"

.

.

First let make this clear, this is a natural normal process.

There are some times when you should hesitate and it's a good thing.

For example you're going to cross a busy street you stop and we've all been taught you look to the right you look to the left.

This is good hesitation.

So the next question is what is harmful hesitation?

This my friends can be put in one simple sentence.

"when you chicken out"

What i mean by this is when you've gone through the checklist you've checked off all the things, you've gone to that street you've looked to the right you've looked to the left, and then you chicken out.

At that moment that's stupid hesitation.

.

Now we are going to link that with trading.

Why do people hesitate?

One is a reason that everyone is going to experience in their life, and that is 'pain'. 

Hesitation comes from pain.

Let me explain.

When you start trading, you're excited, a little bit nervous, but you haven't experienced the pain of a loss.

Once you experience that pain, you get marks in your brain, and they build up.

So, when you come to a similar situation in a trade, you remember that pain, and it causes you to hesitate.

.

.

Another reason why people hesitate is due to 'uncertainty',

Uncertain about taking action during the trade, that's where hesitation occurs.

It's the uncertainty of whether to exit the trade, take profits, cut losses, or make adjustments

The fear of making the wrong decision in the midst of market movements can be paralyzing.

.

Now, let me share an example related to the hesitation before a trade.

I know for a fact there has been instances where you've analyzed a trade setup, everything aligns perfectly, signals are there, but there's that moment of uncertainty.

Instead of confidently executing the trade, you find yourself saying, "Well, it's not the absolute best setup I've ever seen," or "What if I'm missing something?" 

This kind of hesitation often leads to procrastination.

You delay entering the trade, and by the time you decide to act, the market has already moved in your favor, and you end up chasing the trade.

.

.

Now, let's explore the second phase of hesitation—during the trade.

During a trade there's a constant battle between the fear of losing more and the hope that the market will turn around.

It's a challenging moment that requires decisive action.

However, hesitation during the trade can lead to missed opportunities or increased losses.

Let me give you an example that illustrates hesitation during a trade?

You will relate to this point if you have traded before.

There definitely has been instances where a trade is in the negative, but instead of you cutting your losses according to your predefined plan, you find myself hesitating. 

The fear of realizing a loss becomes a mental roadblock, and you end up holding onto the trade longer than you should.

This hesitation often stems from recent experiences of painful losses, creating a mental barrier to executing necessary actions during the trade.

.

.

Now, let's move forward and discuss how traders can work on overcoming hesitation.

Overcoming hesitation is an ongoing process that involves self-awareness, discipline, and continuous improvement.

By addressing the root causes and implementing practical strategies, you can enhance your decision-making and execution in trading.

Because if you do not you will get stuck in trades you should not be in.

Getting stuck in a trade is a common pitfall, and it often arises when you deviate from your original plan.

Let me elaborate on how this can happen.

You enter a position with your clear plan: "I'll enter at a certain price, and if it goes below a specific level, I'll exit to limit my losses."

However you don't follow through with your exit plan and the market moves against you. 

The price goes below your predetermined level, but you hesitate to cut their losses.

At this point, they become stuck because the market has invalidated their initial trade idea, and yourre uncertain about what to do next.

This hesitation is often driven by emotional attachment to the trade, fear of realizing a loss, or the hope that the market will eventually turn around. 

You find yourself waiting for weeks or even months, hoping the trade will recover, which rarely happens. The longer you stay stuck, the more emotional and psychological toll it takes.

.

Now, the key is to avoid getting stuck in the first place.

You can do this by strictly adhering to your trading plan, setting clear stop-loss orders, and being disciplined about cutting losses when the market doesn't validate their initial analysis.

It's about recognizing when a trade isn't going as expected and having the mental fortitude to act swiftly, even if it means accepting a loss.

Now you can see how getting stuck in a trade can lead to missed opportunities.

.

.

So how do you overcome hesitation.

Overcoming hesitation is an ongoing process, and you should view it as an essential aspect of your journey toward becoming more successful the markets.

Here are some way;

• Self-awareness: Recognise patterns of hesitation and understand when and why it occurs. Identify whether it stems from uncertainty, fear of losses, or emotional attachment to trades.
• Stick to the plan: Develop a clear and well-defined trading plan, including entry and exit points. Adhere strictly to this plan, setting stop-loss orders and take-profit levels in advance.
• Risk management: Implement effective risk management practices, such as setting predetermined stop-loss orders. Define the maximum amount of risk you are willing to take on each trade and stick to it.
• Discipline: Avoid deviating from the trading plan, especially when faced with uncertainty or adverse market movements.
• Accept losses: Understand that losses are a natural part of trading. Accepting losses early and moving on to better opportunities is a sign of discipline and can prevent getting stuck in unprofitable trades.
• Emotional detachment: Cultivate emotional detachment from trades. Focus on the overall strategy and avoid becoming overly attached to individual positions.

.

.

Now how do i personally remove hesitation?

What i like to do is to remove the ability to see the current price on the chart. 

That's a big one.

Because what you do is you just focus on your levels and you put your orders out there.

If you have a buy limit order at a certain level, it will get filled if the price comes down to that level, regardless of what the current market price is.

So, if you're hesitating to get in, use these automated orders, especially the stop limit orders. It takes the emotion out of the entry. You've already predetermined where you want to get in. Set it and forget it.

Now, let's talk about getting out.

This is where a lot of hesitation happens, especially if you're watching the market. The market is dynamic, and it can make quick moves. If you're watching it, you might second-guess yourself and hesitate.

The best solution for this is to use automated exit orders.

This could be in the form of a stop loss order or a take profit order. Similar to the entry, if you find yourself hesitating to take profits or cut losses, set these orders in advance.

For example, if you're in a trade and you know you want to take profits at a certain level, set a take profit order. If you want to cut your losses at a certain level, set a stop loss order. This way, once the trade is executed, your exit strategy is automated, and you don't have to make emotional decisions in the heat of the moment.

Remember, hesitation often comes from uncertainty and fear, and by automating your entries and exits, you eliminate a significant portion of that emotional struggle.

It's about having a plan, sticking to it, and using technology to assist you in executing that plan without hesitation.

So, to overcome hesitation in trading:

1. Use automated orders for entry and exit (especially stop limit orders).
2. Remove the ability to see current prices on the chart.
3. Focus on predetermined levels and let the orders execute without constant monitoring.

By incorporating these practices, you will significantly reduce your hesitation and trade with more discipline and confidence.

I hope you learned something.

5 Types Of Projects You Must Stay Away From.

You should know by now that the crypto market is highly unpredictable.

One day, a crypto can be doing really well, but the next day, it can crash and become worthless.

92% of crypto and blockchain projects fail.

According to Yahoo Finance, of the 1,840 failed cryptocurrency projects since 2017, the majority were scams.

Of these, the fraudulent projects tend to live no longer than 1 year and the legitimate projects that don’t see success usually die off within 1-3 years. .

Know why? It’s because many of them are just rubbish.

This raises the question:

Why do some crypto projects fail, while others become very successful?

I will tell you.

.

.

1) If the Project Lacks a Clear Vision.

The most common reason for a project's failure is the lack of a clear vision. 

Imagine you're on a road trip without a destination in mind; you won't get anywhere.

The same goes for a project. Without a clear idea of what it aims to achieve, it's unlikely to make any progress.

For example, if a crypto project doesn't have a clear plan or goals, the team won't know where they're headed.

This lack of direction will cause frustration among the community and investors, which will eventually lead to the project's downfall.

Also if the projects lacks sustainable utility/uses cases, they will fade out eventually.

I will be real with you here "timing" is everything in the crypto space.

Some coins/token survived because the timing was good (i.e bull market, high demand/buying power etc).

While reverse is the case for others that have failed (i.e bear market, crash, low demand/buying power etc)

So the best time to acquire valuable coins or tokens is often during bear markets because the ones that survive have a higher chance of success.

While we're slowly moving away from the bear market and entering a bull market, it's not too late to invest in promising tokens.

.

.

2) If The Project Has An Inexperienced Team.

Another reason why projects fail is due to an inexperienced team.

I don't care what anyone says inexperienced teams will be unable to build a profitable crypto project.

They make stupid mistakes and poor decision-making, which can quickly mess up a project.

Also ask yourself are they just making a project because everyone is making a project or are they actually solving a problem.

Many developers are creating the solution to problems that don’t exist on the blockchain, even before the problem has been identified.

For some there is no real market or demand for their product at all.

That is what an entrepreneur needs to identify in his or her business plan prior to developing.

Really strong projects are those that address real problems, and make the world a better place in some way.

.

.

3) If The Project Uses Excessive Hype and Unreasonable Expectations.

A red flag for a failing crypto project is when it generates too much excitement, and people anticipate things that are not realistic.

If the project's team can't meet these sky-high expectations, it will result in disappointment and, ultimately, the project's failure.

For instance, imagine a project that promises unrealistically huge gains or claims it will revolutionize an entire industry overnight.

If the project's team can't deliver on these sky-high expectations, it will lead to widespread disappointment and failure.

The best advice in these situations is to approach with caution.

Look for projects that set realistic goals, have a clear roadmap, and communicate transparently with their community.

Investing in projects that rely on hype rather than substance is always risky.

.

.

4) If The Project Has No MVP or Product Released.

 A clear warning sign that a cryptocurrency project is headed for failure is the absence of a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) or any product release.

For example, if a project has been in development for a long time and hasn't produced any tangible product, it suggests that they might not do so in the future.

This situation raises concerns that the project could be a scam.

Also a lack of a working prototype is another warning sign that a crypto project will fail. 

A working prototype is crucial for a team to demonstrate the feasibility of their concept and their ability to fulfill their promises.

So if there are no signs of development or progress in recent weeks or months from the Team be careful.

For instance, if a project has been silent and hasn't made any major announcements or updates, it could be an indicator that the project is about to fail.

It's also concerning if the project's team is not actively engaging with their community or isn't visible on social media.

This lack of communication is a sign that the project is in trouble.

.

.

5) If A Project Seems Too Good To Be True.

A crypto project is in shit and is in trouble when its team cares more about making money than building a good product.

This can happen when they get caught up in the bull run hype.

They will use tricky marketing tactics like fake partnerships, making unrealistic promises about profits, or spreading fear and doubt among investors.

When you see these signs, you should always stay away.

Look for projects with a clear vision and honest marketing.

These are usually projects that have amazing fundamentals which lets the product's speak for itself.

For instance, if a project claims it's partnering with a big company, but it turns out to be false, that's a warning sign.

Or if they promise you'll get super-rich with no risk, be cautious.

Good projects focus on the product and honest communication.

I will see you at the next post.

Difference Between Winning Traders And Losing Traders.

If only 10% of traders actually win.

That means they are clearly doing something that most people are not.

So, it's about how and what they are doing that is making them stand out from everybody else compared to the losing traders.

The answer is that they are thinking differently.

So how do they think differently?

I will tell you how.

-

-

The average trader spends most of their time looking at charts, markets, patterns, and trading strategies.

They are often fixated on finding the next 'big winning trade'.

In contrast, profitable traders shift their focus to a different approach.

They prioritize their trading performance, acknowledging that having a successful strategy is not particularly challenging.

They understand that, if they apply the right strategy in the appropriate market at the correct time, profits will follow.

Profitable traders assess their past performance, constantly seeking ways to enhance it on both the trade and micro levels.

They analyze their emotions, execution quality, timing, adherence to rules, and discipline. 

They work diligently on improving their discipline, mindset, psychology, and overall trading performance, as well as reviewing their trading history in detail.

These traders consistently ask themselves questions like:

• "Am I executing trades correctly?"
• "Should I increase or decrease my position size?"
• "When should I make adjustments to my trading approach?"

Why do they do this?

Because they recognize that these aspects are vital pieces of the trading puzzle. Your next trade, which occupies most of your thoughts, is just a small part of the larger picture. 

To draw a simplistic analogy, consider a pie chart.

Your next trade is only a small segment of the entire pie. The other, larger segments represent your discipline, mindset, approach, and whether you're doing everything correctly.

.

The crucial point here is that trading success isn't primarily about finding the next trade.

It's about making the RIGHT trade with the right size to maximize your profits.

When in a losing streak you adjust and manage risk so that you don't erode your capital.

These elements are far more influential in determining your overall profitability compared to simply chasing the next big winner.

Many traders make the mistake of obsessing over their next trade, whereas profitable traders understand the broader context and focus on what truly matters.

.

.

This next point is a crucial once – PATIENCE.

There is 2 aspects to this, from a 'Trade level' and from an 'Account level'.

From a trade level, they are patient for the trades to work. 

They've got the trade on, and they let it work, let it mature, whatever it may be. 

Just sit with it.

They know that they've got to stick to the rules, let it play out.

Yes, if there's a reason on the chart that says it doesn't work after a certain period of time, they'll cut it, of course, but they're patient to let the trade and the strategy run out.

They trust themselves!

.

Then, from an account level, this is probably the MORE important one.

They know that they don't focus on the next winning trade, the next two winning trades, or the next ten trades, whatever. 

They focus on doing the right thing and knowing that if they stick to the process of what they're trying to achieve, then the account growth will happen.

They'll have steady growth, and they'll have a boost where things fall into line.

• They know that they've got strategies to protect drawdown. 
• They know that over time, that account growth will happen.
• They're not looking to boost their account by a thousand percent in a month.

They know that if they work on the right things and consistently work on the right things.

And if they put effort into the things that matter they'll see the rewards.

.

.

That brings me to my next point.

PROCESS. 

They have a distinct process they're employing. It's like having standard operating procedures for each aspect of a business. 

Whether you're running a restaurant or a recruitment firm, you have standard procedures for each part of the business. 

It's the same with traders. 

The traders who are at the top of their game have a process in place for finding new strategies.

• They have a process in place for what they do when they're in a drawdown.
• They have a process for finding actual trades to execute or filtering their trades.
• They have a process for what they do before they place their trades or a process for adjusting their position sizes.

All these things are little processes that, when built together, form a ELITE trading business.

Instead of looking at the whole thing and saying it's not working, it's not working, they can identify which part isn't working and focus on making that part better.

,

.

The last thing I have for you is being AWARE.

You should have noticed that all these points are all very similar, and there's a synergy between them.

They are aware of which part of their trading isn't performing and which part is performing well.

• It comes back to having processes for each individual part of the trading business.
• It comes back to having patience and knowing that they have to let things play out.
• It also comes back to what they're focused on.

They're not spending time looking for the next trade; they're spending time being aware of what's causing growth in their P&L and what's causing a decline.

• Is there a pattern? 
• Is there something that can be worked on or improved?

Because next to trading, there's a part of the puzzle.

You see, you could stick with your existing trades, cut off the majority of your losses, and boost your size on your winners.

Suddenly, you'll see a turnaround in your P&L. 

These are the good things that profitable traders do in the market that losing traders don't.

So prioritize them.

I will see you at the next post.

A Simple Guide On How To Get Rich With NFT'S? (Part 2)

In part 1, I made a post about the understanding of NFT.

But now i am going to answer the million dollar question.

The question which everyone wants the answer to.

How do you know what is a good NFT and a bad NFT?

This is what you need to understand.

The same way you anlayse crypto altcoins is the same way you would do with  NFT.

It is no different.

There are certain things you need to research before putting your hard earned money into a project.

Let me get straight into it.

.

.

1. The Art:

For NFT projects to succeed, their art should be either adorable, impressive, or strange.

This means people should find the art either really cute, really cool, or really weird.

These qualities make NFTs more popular and valuable.

But you also must consider:

• Is the art new and creative? Does it bring fresh ideas? New ideas keep the NFT market fresh and exciting.
• How skilled was the artist? Skilled artists create high-quality and valuable art.
• Is this project doing something entirely new, or is it copying others? Unique projects stand out and attract more attention.
• Are there enough unique qualities to justify creating lots of NFTs? Uniqueness justifies the NFT's worth.
• Does the art look good and will it catch peoples eyes? Attractive art is more likely to be desired.
• Who is the art meant for, and will they like it? Art that appeals to a specific group are more successful.
• Can you imagine other people having a special feeling or connection to it? Emotional attachment can increase the art's value.
• How does the art compare to the other NFT projects in their niche, and in the market more broadly?

It's important to remember that when evaluating NFT art, you are not assessing it based on your personal preferences.

What we might not buy, others might find valuable.

It's about understanding the broader perception and appeal, not just our own tastes

.

.

2. Fundamentals:

This refers to the most important quality or characteristic that defines the project.

You need to ask yourself these questions:

• What's the core nature or fundamental quality that defines the project?

This helps you understand the central purpose and identity of the project. If it doesn't have clear essence, it lacks a meaningful direction - huge red flag.

• Is there a genuine and meaningful fundamental, or is it only about making money? 

This determines whether the project is genuine or just focused on making money. If it's primarily a money grab, it will lack clear substance or authenticity.

• When you engage with the project's community, do you sense a vibrant energy and a strong sense of togetherness? Or is it primarily focused on for a quick flip. 

This assesses the strength of the project's community and its engagement, beyond surface-level interactions.

If there's no strong community vibe, it indicates a lack of genuine interest or connection among participants. You would want to stay away from it.

These evaluations help you ensure that the project has a clear purpose and is genuine in its intentions.

.

.

3. The story:

The story is important as that is what sells.

This is what will attract the people.

It can either be why they made the NFT’s or about the story that is the narrative behind the NFT’s - either way it should be compelling.

• What's the history of the NFTs they've created? What story have they developed around them? Understand the origin of the NFTs and their narrative. Without it, the NFTs lack context and depth.
• How attractive is the narrative presented in their marketing materials?
• Does the story spark your interest in buying one? If the story doesn't appeal to you, then it lacks a strong emotional connection, which will affect peoples desire to buy.
• Why did they start this project, and what's their vision for the future? Understanding why they started the project and their vision tells us about the project's authenticity. If motivations are purely financial, this is not good for the project's longevity.
• How does their story compare to other NFT projects? The project should stand out in a positive way. If it doesn't stand out positively, it will struggle in a competitive NFT market.

These aspects matter because the project's value, sustainability, and potential is what attract interest and investments.

So you have to think ahead of the curve.

.

.

4. The Founders:

When assessing "The Founders" of a project,

consider these questions:

• Do you know who the founders are, or are they anonymous? I never invest in projects that are anonymous so you shouldn't. Knowing the founders' identities promotes transparency and trust.
• How big is the team, and what's their background? The team's size and previous experience directly impact their ability to succeed in the project. 
• Have they launched NFT projects before, and if so, how successful were those projects? They should have a clean track record of achieving targets and goals. Successful past NFT projects tell me they are competent and have reliability. 
• How do the founders stack up against those leading other NFT projects? You want to identify the strongest founders in the industry and bet on them. You want the more expertise, as this influences the project's potential for success.

The credibility, expertise, and potential of the project's creators directly impacts the project's success and trustworthiness.

If these aspects are lacking i would question the project's legitimacy and potential.

.

.

5. Scarcity:

When examining "The Scarcity/Rarity" of NFTs, think about these questions:

1. How many NFTs are they making, and at what cost for each NFT?
2.  Compare the project's total fundraising amount to similar NFT projects. Example: If this project aims to raise $50,000, check if this amount is in line with what similar projects have raised. Unrealistic fundraising goals can deter potential investors.
3. Assess if what they've created justifies the amount they're trying to raise Example: Are the NFTs they're offering worth the $50,000 they're asking for? If the project's value doesn't match the fundraising target, it can erode trust and hinder investment.
4. Are there processes in place to reduce the total supply of NFTs over time? Example: If they burn (permanently remove) NFTs from circulation, it can increase the rarity and value of remaining ones. Lack of mechanisms can lead to oversupply and decreased rarity, impacting NFT value.
5. Check the rarity of different character traits in the project. Example: If a certain character feature is very rare, it will make the NFTs featuring it more valuable. If all NFTs have common features, they may not stand out, affecting their appeal and value.

Look NFT markets operate based on supply and demand. 

So you need to consider why someone would want to hold an NFT after buying it (holding its value or rarity) and why someone might want to sell it (capitalizing on a profit).

.

When you're looking at NFT projects, it's important to consider the motivations of other buyers.

Here's why these considerations matter:

1. Buy to Flip or Hold:

If everyone's only buying NFTs to quickly sell them for profit, it can flood the market and drive prices down.

You want to invest in projects that people genuinely love and want to keep, not just those looking to make a quick profit.

2. Buyer Limits:

The number of NFTs each wallet can buy is crucial.

If there's no limit, it can suggest the project is more interested in selling quickly for a cash grab.

But If they limit buyers to just one NFT, it makes it harder for people to sell quickly, which can increase the value and scarcity of the NFT.

.

This is why i prefer projects that set limits on how many NFTs one can buy because it shows they're more focused on creating a strong, supportive community rather than just trying to make a quick profit.

In Part 3 we will continue...

This is all preparation for the bull market.

And don't worry when the time is right i will tell you my NFT picks and you will see for yourself everything i am teaching in action.

Who you are in the future is connected to the very decisions you make today.

The micro and macro decisions. You choose your destiny.

Every day there is an opportunity to make that ONE decision that will trigger the domino, that will eventually lead to your dream life.

Because every single successful person simply made a string of repeated good choices, that all started with one good choice.

It is unfortunately that simple.

.

Today, I am officially presenting you with one of those choices, one of those opportunities...

You will tell people about how this decision was the start of your journey to success.

This is the highest tier, the most exclusive, the most personal community.

If you wish to finally take your life seriously and wish to be serious about your crypto journey.

I am going to give you the opportunity to join a sharp community of serious individuals on Discord, that are thriving on a level that I have never seen before in any other community in the crypto space.

Or you can miss out on this opportunity and never know that life you could have, had had you triggered the domino fall.

.

.

Look I know you want to be rich - or else you wouldn't be here learning from me.

I know you have a limited amount of time or a limited amount of funds in order to change your life.

Well, I am here to tell you I will help you change that.

But unfortunately,

Your subscription has come to an END.

This message is for those who are not VIP MEMBERS.

Only VIP MEMBERS will continue this journey to become millionaires as they have access to the AI futures bot as well as the Private Exclusive Discord.

.

.

You started amongst 70,000 followers, and you have only made it this far because you really want success.

You see, most of my 70,000 people will never be successful.

It is true.

I have come to accept that bitter reality.

I can only help so many people.

• They must be driven…
• They must be dedicated…
• They must be willing to be in this game for long enough to learn from their losses.

Unfortunately, that is not everyone.

But I believe you are one of those individuals...

If you are seeing this, you have proven to be someone who acts.

Someone who doesn’t just watch as everyone else becomes successful, he acts for himself.

I believe in you…

It is for this reason that I am allowing you to join the most exclusive and highest tier of communities in all of crypto.

You will be working directly with me and my team.

Learning. Growing. Discussing the most effective route to a million in your bank.

.

Now it is your choice to make.

You either make this life-defining choice or you can end your crypto journey and simply go back to living your life, never triggering the domino-fall of unlimited possibility.

If you are hesitating, or doubtful, then it is probably best you do not join.

Why?

We have a community of multi-millionaires and other people who are serious on their journey to financial success.

We cannot afford you to join and ruin the spirit of the most exclusive group in which you will be in daily communication with ME!

I can’t risk having that bad energy...

Go join the other 70,000 or so people who are mere observers.

Some of you want success just as bad as they want to live, I know they will not hesitate at all.  

The time for you to make that decision is here…

What do you do?

Go on your Patreon, manage memberships, and subscribe to the VIP TIER.

This is, from now on, going to be the ONLY tier available.

I am getting rid of all other tiers. 

You are either ALL IN or ALL OUT.

You cannot be half pregnant, neither can you be half-hearted about how much you want success.

I am sick and tired of investing my time into half-hearted people…

I want to invest my time into people who are in the trenches with me, the serious and the committed, the people who are going to have chances of being successful (and in this business, your success is my success).

If you decide to join, you will have access to everything: private discord allowing you to access ME and my TEAM,

AND my AI signal bots, that cost me THOUSANDS to code, which people are already making money with. 

Look for yourself.

And if that is not enough for you.

Just look how accurately the AI bot called the local top of the recent move for Bitcoin.

It is very accurate.

But more importantly,

You will continue to learn how to actually WIN this cycle so you do not have to report to your boss on a Monday morning.

It is possible - I am a testament to that.

And the most valuable part: the quality community of purely driven and smart traders that have made a family together.

And I hope to see you in the Private Discord.

So now it is up to you.

ALL IN OR ALL OUT.

A Simple Guide On How To Get Rich With NFT'S? (Part 1)

Most of you reading this likely have never bought an NFT.

I don't blame you.

It is because you don't have the right people around you.

You don’t have a network of:

• Full-time Crypto degens,
• Venture Capitals or Hedge funds
• High net-worth individuals,
• Army of researchers
• Crypto/NFT project founders

Fortunately for you, you know someone who does,

ME.

I receive CRUCIAL information from these people which allows me to make money during a bull run. 

How?

Because I have built GENUINE relationships with these people and have helped them make a significant amount of money - so whenever they see an opportunity to make money they share it with me.

And this cycle I will return the favor and share it with you all here first.

Let's get into it.

.

.

I have already covered the basics in the previous video.

So I am not even going to waste your time explaining again.

All you need to know is:

NFTs are mostly an ARTWORK and GAMING-based industry. 

These are the 2 MAJOR use cases of an NFT. 

.

Art-based example:

One of the major uses of NFTs is related to art.

Artists create unique digital artworks, which can include paintings, illustrations, animations, or any form of digital creativity.

Instead of traditional physical art, these pieces are stored digitally and associated with an NFT.

Game-based examples:

Another significant use of NFTs is within the realm of gaming

NFTs have introduced unique features and opportunities in the gaming industry:

This is what I will be FOCUSING on this next cycle.

I believe the last cycle was the cycle of artwork but this time money and capital will flow into gaming.

The NFT gaming space is super interesting as it is the first space outside of Decentralised Finance to achieve genuine product market fit. 

For example, Axie is played by real users and isn't just a tool for speculation, like 99% of other Crypto projects out there.

The NFT gaming side hustle is REAL and is making people who don't have access to a good wage serious money.

.

This is what you need to understand.

When an NFT project launches, there are TWO methods you can buy an NFT:

You can either MINT an NFT project or buy it on a SECONDARY marketplace.

Let me tell you the difference:

.

1. Mint 

When an NFT project launches, they own all the NFTs, and they SELL these out to the community by ‘minting’ them.

This is where the community sends their Crypto token, in exchange for ownership of an NFT.

This is basically retail - which is like directly buying from the store.

How are NFT projects set up?

Here's a breakdown of how most of them work:

1. NFT projects create a set number of unique digital items, like 10,000 of them.
2. They will have a presale for their early community members who complete tasks like invite competitions to get these NFTs at a discount.
3. These NFTs are launched on blockchains like Ethereum or Solana.
4. You can buy them during the minting phase at a cost of around 1-5 SOL on Solana or 0.05-0.2 ETH on Ethereum.
5. After the initial sale, they might give current NFT holders new NFTs or share a percentage of their earnings with NFT holders.
6. They create a community through a DAO where verified NFT holders can participate, vote, and engage in various activities.
7. Each NFT can have unique characteristics, usually between 50-150 of them, randomly assigned during minting.
8. The minting phase assigns NFTs randomly, so you won't know which one you get until after you buy.
9. Some NFTs have rare attributes, while most have common ones.

.

2. Secondary marketplaces

Once an NFT project has launched, the community is able to buy and sell their NFT which they MINTED on whichever NFT marketplaces the project decides to launch on.

For NFT’s built on Ethereum, this is mostly done through the marketplace OpenSea.

For NFT’s built on Solana, this is done through a variety of different marketplaces as there is no clear winner.

These are:

• Solanart
• Digitaleyes
• Magic Eden
• Solsea

This is where you will look to sell your NFT on the secondary marketplaces to make money as they will sell for much higher than the MINT.

Now I hope this is simple, stay with me.

.

.

THE FLOOR:

The floor is an important concept in the NFT world.

You likely have heard the term used already - "What is the floor price?"

The floor price in NFTs is the LOWEST price at which you can buy a particular type of NFT within a specific collection.

It's like the "starting price" for NFTs in that category.

If you want to purchase an NFT from that collection, you can't buy it for LESS than the floor price.

It's often used as a reference point for assessing the value of NFTs within that collection or market

The LESS NFT’s available at the ‘floor’ price, the easier it will be for the floor price to move UP once they’ve been bought up.

.

Imagine you have two groups of people selling NFTs.

In the first group, they are all selling their NFTs for almost the same price, like $49, $50, or $51.

This is called a "STACKED FLOOR." 

There are MANY NFTs available at these prices.

.

In the second group, people are selling their NFTs at different higher prices, like $53, $57, or $62.

This is called a "WEAK FLOOR."

There are only a FEW NFTs available at these prices.

If you want to sell your NFTs and the floor price is weak like in the second group, it's better to sell them a bit higher than the lowest price.

Why?

Because in a weak floor, there are not many NFTs available at that price, so you can sell yours for MORE.

It's a sign that not many sellers are offering NFTs at that specific price.

.

You want to sell into WEAK Floors to make money.

Let me tell you why:

• Weak Floor:

When there's a weak floor you can INCREASE the price because there are FEWER sellers, and you have more control over pricing. 

You might gradually raise your asking price as demand grows.

HOWEVER, be careful as weak floors could also mean there's NO demand.

In this case, you would want to sell into a STRONG floor.

Why?

• Strong Floor:

A strong floor typically means there's MORE demand and liquidity.

Because everyone will be paying the SAME price.

So it would be EASIER to sell at or slightly above the existing strong floor price. 

This is often the case when you want a QUICKER sale.

.

.

Now when it comes to selling your NFT - It is not as EASY as selling crypto.

Let me explain

In trading, when selling your investment you can sell a portion (like 20%, 30%, or 40%) when the price goes up and keep the rest.

But with only one NFT, you can't do this.

This is why people don't like NFT.

As well as the fact that it is not easy to sell as the market is not LIQUID - you can not sell instantly.

Some people would even say NFTs are risky compared to altcoins - why?

Buying just one NFT during its initial release can be risky because, once it's available for buying and selling, the only way to profit from it is by selling the whole thing. 

This WILL be frustrating because NFT prices can be very unpredictable.

And to manage your risk wisely, you'd want to take back your initial investment while KEEPING the rest for potential gains.

You can't do this with an NFT.

You either sell or keep.

.

So, how are you going to solve this issue?

The STRATEGY is to buy multiple NFTs from the SAME project.

Ideally, you'd want to get 2-3 NFTs from each project, and even more, if you're okay with taking more risk.

With 2-3 NFTs, if the price goes UP after they're available for trading, you can sell one or even two of them.

This way you can KEEP the others in case the project becomes REALLY popular.

Before NFTs are initially released, it's hard to predict how successful the project will be, especially since it's usually after the project's creators have made their profits.

So, having a few NFTs from the start gives you more FLEXIBILTY to manage your investment as the project unfolds.

.

Now in part 2,

I will go deeper into how you know what is a good NFT and a bad NFT.

The next post here will be on the details of the private discord and Ai futures bot for those who are NOT in it.

I will see you then.

How To Become A Millionaire in Crypto. (Part 2)

A reminder that all 'VIP MEMBERS' will get access to the AI Futures bot and the discord in 10 days.

Keep learning and engaging with this content - it is for your own benefit.

Keep increasing your knowledge.

This is just the beginning.

LIKE THIS POST IF YOU ARE EXCITED.

.

.

So how will you become a millionaire during this crypto bull run?

It is simple.

I need you to create a 5-year plan.

Bill Gates is famous for saying a very powerful quote:

.

This is what you need to understand.

Crypto is here to STAY- It is the future.

Blockchain technology is a revolution that will RESHAPE industries on a massive scale.

Some of these projects will become the NEXT behemoths that are the equivalent of Google, Amazon, Facebook, etc. 

So you need to create a 5-year plan and STICK to it.

For an idea of what your plan should look like, here is a brief summary of mine:

.

Years 1-2: 

• Focus on INCREASING income. 

Now is the time to make SACRIFICES and cut out all the bullshit.

Forget about the next party or the next luxury holiday; TRUST ME, those will always be there.

But opportunities like this do NOT come often.

.

• Use these next few years to focus heavily on making AND saving money to INVEST.

You cannot save your way to riches; therefore, you should ONLY save in order to invest.

This is the mindset you NEED to have.

I will sacrifice NOW and enjoy the fruits of my labour later when the ‘only up’ bull market comes to an end. 

Invest 90%+ of savings into crypto buying a little bit each month of my favourite long-term projects, and buying in heavily on 20-40% dips.

.

• Trade when the market is in EASY mode with leverage to increase the size of my long-term positions while they simultaneously appreciate.

This is what my 8 FIGURE crypto trader friend told me last cycle:

They used low leverage at the beginning of bull markets where their risk is very minimal and reward is huge.

.

• Constantly research for NEW and upcoming projects.

While the money printer is firing, HODL my bags and never sell, unless allocating to another project.

I would only SELL if I noticed 2 Bearish divergences on the WEEKLY chart -  which is ACCOMPANIES with 2-3 bearish divergences on the DAILY chart - which would tell me the top is very close.

Simple.

.

.

Years 3-5: 

• Keeping a closer eye on the FED.

Why?

For potential changes to their monetary and fiscal dovishness.

.

Let me QUICKLY explain how the decisions and actions of the Fed can impact crypto markets during a bull run:

Interest Rate Hikes: 

If the Fed decides to RAISE interest rates during a crypto bull run, it can have a BAD effect on crypto prices.

Let me tell you why.

HIGHER interest rates make traditional investments like bonds and savings accounts more ATTRACTIVE compared to riskier assets like cryptocurrencies.

This shift in investment preference will lead to a DECREASE in crypto demand and a potential price correction (dump).

You see how I SIMPLY explain things.

.

Tapering of Asset Purchases:

If the Fed REDUCES its bond-buying program (known as tapering), it will signal a TIGHTENING of monetary policy.

This will lead to concerns about reduced liquidity and LESS easy access to capital for speculative investments like crypto.

Traders and investors will be MORE cautious, which would also SLOW down price increases.

.

Economic Indicators:

The Fed closely monitors economic indicators like inflation and employment.

This is the JOB of the FED to keep employment HIGH and Inflation LOW.

Now, If it perceives a significant threat of HIGH inflation, it will adopt a more hawkish stance, which could involve RAISING interest rates aggressively. 

And as we know INCREASING interest rates would NEGATIVELY impact crypto prices, as higher rates will make borrowing more expensive and reduce risk appetite.

This is all the basics you need to know about FED for now.

Interest Rates control everything.

Now let's go back to my strategy.

.

By this stage, I should have a SIGNIFICANT balance.

The focus now would be shifting AWAY from capital growth into PRESERVATION.

No more sketchy shitcoins, etc.

.

.

Here's my recommendation for you to implement right now:

Buy on dips and hold.

You need to understand that trading is a very SPECIFIC skill.

Do you know what the biggest misconception is?

"That you need to actively become a full time TRADER to become rich in a bull run."

Let me tell you the actual TRUTH.

More of my friends have become millionaires just by buying my recommendations early and HOLDING.

Then sell when retail gets on board.

They understand TIME in the markets will always beat TIMING the markets.

And to become a trader that’s profitable consistently it will require almost your entire focus.

It’s not something you can do an hour a day like going to the gym and expect results.

The only time this differs is if you are trading during periods where the market is trending up strongly and it becomes super simple, OR you follow my advice.

.

But for some of you, it makes more sense to focus on your income and invest the proceeds into crypto.

You are much more likely to make money this way than through trading.

Or Another way which is what I RECOMMEND is:

Have your large SPOT portfolio which you DON'T touch, and have a separate portfolio just for trading - Then with the profits of that TRADING BAG, you INCREASE your spot bag.

The goal of profitable trading is to sit on your hands and enter big when the opportunity presents itself.

Part 3 will be everyone's favourite post.

Remember this is just the beginning.

NFT Fundamentals You Need to Understand.

How To Become A Millionaire in Crypto. (Part 1)

This is a no Bullshit and honest guide based on more than 6 years of deep experience in the crypto space.

Let me get straight to it.

.

.

Fix your mindset.

The reason why you lose quickly is because you THINK you can win quickly.

That's NOT how you win in this game.

Small Steps, Long-Term Patience.

Get rid of the 'get rich quick' mindset.

Crypto success is made on PATIENCE and DISCIPLINE above all else.

Many people have seen their wealth DISAPPEAR because they lacked the patience to HOLD onto promising projects.

In fact, this previous bull market has witnessed more losses from quick decisions to sell assets that should have been held, rather than from holding onto investments that should have been sold. 

.

.

Achieving success in crypto is a TWO-WAY approach.

First, you need the SMALL steps of work – the ability to stay updated with the latest trends and narratives. 

If you fall behind it can COST you the opportunity of a lifetime.

Then with that comes the Second step - Long term patience.

This is implementing a consistent and disciplined strategy, such as dollar-cost averaging and buying the dips, to secure favourable entry points.

It also means having the endurance to hold onto promising projects even as they surge 2x, 5x, 10x, 50x, or even 100x+.

Remember:

• If you can’t be bothered to research crypto, you won’t make much money. (You are lucky to have me as I will do the research for you.)
• If you can’t HODL during market corrections, you simply don’t deserve the profits of the bull run.
• If the market presents you with more AFFORDABLE prices during this bullish trend, TAKE the opportunity. 

With ongoing money printing from the FED, it seems like we're on an "ONLY UP" trajectory for the foreseeable future.

Because of this, Time in the market will BEAT timing the markets.

.

.

So now that you have a good mindset, what are the ways?

First, you need to understand making £1 million in crypto depends on 3 factors.

It is very simple.

1. How much money do you have?

2. How much risk you’re willing to take?

3. How much knowledge do you have about these projects?

You have to decide where you place your risk tolerance.

In INVESTING the earning potential you can make can be a 10% return, 50% return, 100% return, or 1000% return, but it’s CORRELATED with the risk.

So the more chance you take, the better the return you’ll get.

If you have a high-income job versus a low-income job, that will change the investments that you make and the size of your portfolio.

How?

Because if you only have £10,000 to invest, you’re going to take a lot MORE risk than someone who has £100,000.

And so, everyone has a different risk tolerance, and some people are naturally happy to take more risks. Others are very risk-averse, and they don’t want to lose money no matter what.

And everyone has a different goal.

Some people are happy to wait ten years, 20 years, or even 30 years.

In this case, we’ll take a time horizon of 3 to 5 years - one cycle

.

.

• Scenario 1:

This is the LEAST risky option.

If the crypto market is expected to GROW  by a factor of 5 over the next 3–5 years.

That means it would take £200,000 of your OWN money.

So, in general, you’re going to pay one of two ways either you invest with your own money, or you’re going to take more risk.

And so if you want the LEAST amount of risk in the crypto market, it will cost you more money,

So £200,000 is needed to get a 5x return.

.

So now, what assets are you going to invest in?

So usually on the least risky option.

Most people would SOLELY focus on the top 10 crypto projects.

That's wrong - why?

Previous cycles have shown that each top 10 is replaced by a new top 10.

So instead you want to focus on strong teams that are reputable with high valuations - not just the top 10.

And so, in the first place, we find Bitcoin at almost $16,000.

In second place is Ethereum at $1,090, so generally, the higher you are, the less risk you take.

Based on the price predictions over the next 3–5 years, it’s possible to get with the least amount of risk a 5x return over 3–5 years.

.

So why is it the least risky cryptocurrency?

It’s because they have one of the LARGEST market caps.

The higher the market cap the LESS risk.

Also, companies and institutions have chosen it.

And indeed, Ethereum has established itself as the most exciting crypto project for its decentralized applications; it is on Ethereum that we find the most exciting applications in decentralized finance, DeFi, and the NFT sector.

And so, for scenario number one, you would theoretically only need LARGE CAPS. 

Today, bitcoin is around $26,000. We had a peak of $67,000 on Bitcoin during the 2021 Bull Run.

So we could easily project bitcoin at $100,000 over the next 3 to 5 years.

And so, the LEAST risky option in the current environment and with the data we have today is investing in Bitcoin only. 

And if you want to make $1 million, you must invest at least $200,000 in Bitcoin minimum.

.

.

• Scenario 2 :

This is the BEST option for most people.

Why?

Because it’s the most attractive scenario between RISK and REWARD.

And it’s based on the assumption that you can get an x10 to x20 return over the next 3-5 years in crypto - (With me that is NOT a lot.)

Meaning you only need £50,000 to £100,000 of your OWN money.

And so it’s POSSIBLE to turn £50,000 into £1 million.

And it’s also more feasible for a lot more people.

.

.

So which crypto currencies should you invest in?

Not Bitcoin.

Why?

It already has a market cap of almost $400 BILLION.

And to get a return of x20 and even x10, it’s going to require a lot more MONEY.

So you’re going to have to go LOWER on the risk curve. 

And so that means you’re NOT just going to invest in Ethereum.

YES indeed, Ethereum in the next 3 to 5 years will do a 10x which is entirely possible.

But, we can diversify with other more SPECULATIVE crypto projects.

And so we’re going to look for cryptocurrencies in the top 10 and the top 20.

For example, CHAINLINK project, which I REALLY like.

Also projects with higher valuations like POLKADOT, MATIC, SOLANA, and CARDANO.

You see how in this second scenario, I would STILL stay in the top 20.

You see a project like COSMOS, which is at about 2.5 billion dollars in valuation, we only have to reach 80 billion dollars in valuation over the next 3 to 5 years, which is half of the valuation of Ethereum today.

So you would go for coins such as  $SOL, $ADA, $LINK, $MATIC, $XMR, $RNDR, $IMX.

These are at the top of the list with high valuations that will stay STRONG next cycle and not be EASILY replaced.

.

.

• Scenario 3:

The RISKIEST option is based on the assumption that your crypto will grow 50X over the next 3–5 years.

I have done this before.

This was me in the previous cycles so I will show you how to do it this cycle - STAY WITH ME.

The most significant ADVANTAGE of this option is that it requires the LEAST amount of money to turn less than £20,000 into £1 million over 3–5 years.

.

Now, this time, in just 3–5 years, it’s NOT going to happen in the top 10.

You'll have to go WAY down the risk curve and drop below the top 20.

And the sweet spot here is to look at a cryptocurrency with LESS than a $500 million MARKET CAP.

And so that means looking at projects like:

• ALEPH ZERO, symbol AZERO, has a valuation of $200 Million.
• IMMUTABLE X of symbol IMX today has a valuation of $500 Million.
• CONSTELLATION with the symbol DAG, has a valuation today of $30 Million.
• VECTORSPACE with the symbol VXV has a valuation of $10 Million.

You see below the $500 Million market cap, it’s still risky, but that's where the MONEY is.

And so what you need to do in scenario number 3 is look for projects that are in between the Top 40 and the Top 100.

Anything below is either through insider information from hedge funds or Venture capital.

That is where I got information from for ENJINSTARTER.

Keep in mind the assumption that cryptos will be adopted over the next few years.

The ETF will be approved.

The Bitcoin HALVING is coming close.

This means some cryptos will grow way over 50x over the next 3.5 years.

And so they say that bull markets make you money, but bear markets can make you RICH because the prices are collapsing, so you have more upside potential in the current market.

So YES, you CAN make £1 million investing in projects, especially over the next 3 to 5 years.

Just stay with me.

Part 2 is where we will go more technical.

See you then.

The Dark Truth Behind CBDC's.

Everyone is fascinated by the new technology introduced by central banks.

The Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC).

Which is expected to revolutionise the future of our financial system, right? 

However, that's quite far from the truth. 

In fact, it's far from accurate. 

Before I proceed, let me explain what the CBDC actually is.

.

.

A CBDC, or Central Bank Digital Currency, is like a digital version of the money we use today.

It's issued and regulated by the government's central bank, just like regular cash.

There are a few reasons why Governments want to introduce CBDCs.

I will explain them below:

.

1. Improving Efficiency: 

CBDCs will make transactions faster and cheaper, helping people send and receive money more easily. 

For example, sending money to a friend or family member in another country can take days and involve high fees with traditional banking systems. 

With CBDCs, these transactions could be completed in minutes, and the fees might be much lower, making it easier and more affordable to send money internationally.

This is similar to bank transfer but with Speed and easier accessibility.

See it is a digital pound or a digital dollar.

.

2. Reducing Fraud: 

Digital currencies will be more secure than physical cash, reducing the risk of counterfeiting and other types of fraud.

For instance, physical cash can be easily counterfeited, causing significant financial losses.

Think of all the dirty cash that is out there that the government doesn't know about.

All the drug money or untaxed cash.

CBDCs would put an end to this.

CBDCs would use encryption and blockchain technology to make sure each unit of currency is genuine. 

This reduces the risk of fraud and ensures the money's authenticity.

.

3. Financial Inclusion: 

CBDCs will provide access to banking services for people who don't have traditional bank accounts, promoting financial inclusion.

In many parts of the world, there are "unbanked" populations who can't open bank accounts due to various reasons, like lack of documentation or living in remote areas. 

CBDCs can be accessed through digital wallets on smartphones, allowing these individuals to participate in the financial system.

For example, a farmer in a remote village could receive payments for their crops in CBDC and use it for other transactions.

Yes, this is similar to crypto, but in this case, the government controls it.

.

4. Tracking Transactions: 

CBDCs will help governments keep track of money flows, which can be useful for things like tax collection and preventing illegal activities.

They can identify tax evasion more easily.

Also, prevent money laundering, and ensure that each business pays its fair share of taxes.

This transparency can help governments fund essential services and infrastructure projects.

.

5. Adapting to a Digital World: 

In a world where many transactions are already digital, CBDCs help governments keep up with the times.

So, the government sees CBDCs as a way to address some of the problems with the old cash system and make the financial system more efficient and secure for everyone.

Just look at the chart below which shows the decline of cash payments.

This chart shows that the majority of payments in the UK are now made by transfers of bank deposits.

Nearly half of all payments that were previously made in cash are now made by card (debit and credit).

Now, you might be thinking that everything discussed so far seems reasonable and perhaps even beneficial.

However, here's where things take an interesting turn. 

Keep reading on.

.

.

While Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) have legitimate reasons for the introduction.

There are some concerns.

These concerns are regarding potential misuse for more control or surveillance. 

Here are some reasons why governments might want CBDCs for more control:

.

1. Enhanced Surveillance:

CBDCs provide governments with the ability to monitor citizens' financial transactions more closely.

For instance, governments will track how people spend their money to ensure compliance with tax laws, but this level of surveillance would come at the cost of an individual's privacy.

Do you know what is ironic?

While governments argue that increased surveillance can help combat tax evasion and illicit activities,

It will erode your personal privacy.

Imagine a scenario where every financial transaction you make, from buying shopping to donating to a charity, is closely monitored and recorded.

And then it gets even worse my friend.

Imagine where your financial transactions, combined with other data points, contribute to a government-issued social credit score.

This score can influence your access to various services, including loans, jobs, or even travel.

This level of intrusion raises concerns about personal freedom and the potential for abuse, where citizens may fear repercussions for their financial choices or beliefs.

.

2. Reducing Cash Usage:

Governments will want to discourage the use of physical cash because it is harder to track and control.

I am not saying it will replace cash.

However, there will be benefits to using the CBDC which will discourage the use of cash.

CBDCs will help the government monitor and control every financial transaction within their jurisdiction.

Discouraging physical cash usage might seem convenient, but it is unsettling for those who value financial anonymity. 

CBDCs offer governments unprecedented control over citizens' financial lives, which will lead to restrictions on how people can spend their money. 

In extreme cases, governments might even freeze or confiscate assets digitally, leaving individuals with little recourse to protect their financial well-being.

.

3. Negative Interest Rates:

In economic crises, governments will want to implement negative interest rates to encourage spending and investment.

Why?

With CBDCs, they will directly impose negative interest rates on people's digital holdings.

This will effectively charge people for saving money and force them to spend and "boost the economy".

While this is an economic policy tool, it can also be seen as a way to influence citizens' financial decisions.

Dirty game, I know.

And the most dangerous of them all is this next point.

Point number 4.

.

4. Easier Money Creation:

With CBDCs, governments can create and distribute money digitally, making it more accessible than printing physical currency.

With greater ease and speed than printing physical currency. 

This ease of money creation can be tempting for governments, especially in times of economic crisis, as they can quickly inject funds into the economy.

This flexibility is advantageous during economic emergencies because it enables rapid response.

However.

I am sure you know it can lead to inflation and devalue the currency.

Which will potentially harm citizens' purchasing power and savings.

.

.

Now, you can see how this poses a significant threat to our society.

It's a threat that affects every individual.

One that jeopardises the freedom of every individual, transferring power into the hands of governments.

So, what's the solution?

Investing in MONERO ($XMR).

It offers genuine privacy.

As people become aware of the truth, they will gravitate towards this.

Why?

One of the main reasons is because of the PRIVACY.

Monero offers unparalleled privacy.

Shielding your financial transactions from government scrutiny.

Especially in comparison to CBDCs, which will involve increased surveillance.

3 Future Trends for 2024 You Should Know.

I want to emphasize the importance of learning from the content here. 

It might seem like a lot, but don't let it overwhelm you. 

Take it one post at a time, and go at your own pace. 

Make sure you thoroughly understand each concept.

I also have Technical Analysis (TA) lessons which will teach you how to identify market tops and bottoms. These lessons are incredibly valuable, so be sure to check them out as well.

Yes, you will get access to the AI bot and the discord in 2 weeks. 

For now please keep learning and indulging yourself in this knowledge.

Knowledge is power.

.

.

But let's get into it.

You know I am always 1 step ahead.

I like to think that it is my job to look ahead, 

So i am going to tell you which trends will shape the digital world in the next 12 months.

I have talked about this previously but I'm just going to update you on this post.

I will keep it short and simple so you understand.

.

.

1. More Businesses Are Embracing Blockchain

BlackRock recently introduced a Bitcoin spot ETF, which has sparked fresh interest from big financial institutions in crypto. 

This move has triggered discussions about how such investments could affect the wider financial world.

Importantly, BlackRock's ETF is unique because it holds actual Bitcoin, not just futures contracts.

This approach has prompted other major players like WisdomTree and Invesco to consider their own Bitcoin spot ETFs.

Experts in the industry see institutional acceptance of crypto as a crucial step forward.

This Institutional adoption shows that, 

Despite all the uncertainty and fear spread across media channels, the utility is still being bought by smart money.

It shows that there's confidence in Bitcoin becoming a mainstream financial tool and will help stabilise the market by reducing wild price swings. 

Which would also mean less substantial gains as it becomes less hot.

Institutional involvement may also make it easier for more people to invest in crypto and shape the future of digital assets.

Even though concerns about regulations and security remain, the potential for a more stable market and wider access to crypto underscores the important role that institutional players play in advancing digital assets.

.

.

2. Wall Street Adopts Asset Tokenization and Digital Transactions which will change Finance.

Institutional adoption of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology will continue to rise in 2024.

You will hear a lot more about this during the bull run.

Large financial institutions, asset managers, and corporations will invest in crypto, 

They will view them as alternative assets with potential for diversification and hedging against inflation.

This will cause crypto to mature.

As it will be providing custodial services, derivatives markets, and compliance solutions tailored to institutional needs.

Big names like JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, BlackRock, and Fidelity are diving headfirst into the exciting world of blockchain technology. 

They're getting into things like turning real-world stuff into digital tokens and making digital transactions smoother.

To do this right, they're teaming up with trusted financial partners and making sure there are clear rules to play by.

Experts even say this could be worth $10 trillion by 2030!

Even though there are some challenges, like figuring out the best way to use this tech and which types of digital 'blockchains' to use, more and more people from Wall Street are getting excited about it.

.

.

3. Central Bank Digital Currencies and National Adoption

With the rise of digital payments, central banks are realizing the importance of creating reliable digital currencies to keep our economies stable. 

These are called Central Bank Digital Currencies or CBDC.

They're like a safe and steady digital version of money in our changing financial world.

Several countries are exploring the development of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) to modernize their financial systems and improve payment efficiency. 

By 2024, some nations may have fully implemented or even launched pilot programs for CBDCs.

The adoption of CBDCs will offer greater financial inclusion, reduced transaction costs, and increased transparency in monetary policies.

The shift to digital money makes us question if physical cash is still the best way to keep our money safe. 

CBDCs help us keep a single and strong system for money and let us switch between different digital currencies. 

But remember all this comes with a price.

That price will be dangerous to humanity as they gain total control.

I will do a post on the dark side of CBDC.

How To Actually Avoid Crypto Scams.

Scams.

Memecoins.

Shitcoins.

These all refer to coins that are considered worthless.

They have no clear value proposition, use case, or long-term development plan.

They appear during the heights of a bull market, promising high returns and innovative technology, only to disappear when the market turns bearish.

.

.

Should I tell you what will happen to these coins?

They get RUGPULLED.

What is a Rugpull?

Rug pulls, also known as pump n’ dumps, are when an asset’s value is disingenuously inflated, only for those that have been doing the inflating to run away with the inflated value.

This leaves everyone else with valueless assets.

It is a dirty trick in crypto.

Especially when the founder makes the digital assets seem really valuable, but it's not.

Then, they suddenly take all the value and disappear, leaving everyone else with worthless stuff.

.

Here's an example:

Imagine there's a new cryptocurrency called "ShinyCoin."

Some people talk about it a lot, saying it's the next big thing. Many people invest their money in it, and the price goes up a lot. 

But then, the people who created ShinyCoin suddenly sold all their coins and made a lot of money.

The price of ShinyCoin crashes and everyone who invested in it loses their money because the value was fake from the start.

That's a rug pull. It's like a digital con job.

.

.

Now you know what happens, how do you identify them?

Just as I carefully analyse cryptocurrencies to find potential investments that could multiply in value (100x gems),

I also use careful analysis to make sure I don't invest in scams or fraudulent coins.

Here's what I look for;

1. No Clear Use Case:

A fundamental red flag is when a coin lacks a clear purpose or value in the real world.

For example, if a coin claims to revolutionize the future of digital payments without any plausible explanation on how.

Or if it fails to explain how it's better or different from established cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum.

- it's likely a "SHITCOIN."

Always ask yourself, "What problem is this coin trying to solve, and does it make sense?"

.

2. Overpromising or Vague Whitepaper:

Beware of projects that promise the moon in their whitepapers but provide little substance or evidence to back it up.

For instance, a whitepaper might claim to create a decentralized social media platform that will replace Facebook, but it lacks technical details and implementation strategies.

This is a classic example of overpromising without substance.

They often use complex words but in most cases is often just jargon and a lot of crap.

.

3. No Visible Development Activity:

A dead giveaway of a potential "shitcoin" is the absence of recent updates on the project's GitHub page.

Imagine you're considering investing in a cryptocurrency, but you find that the last code commit was six months ago, with no explanations or progress reports.

It suggests that the developers have abandoned the project, leaving investors in the dark.

.

4. Shit or Anonymous Team:

Trustworthy projects have identifiable and experienced teams.

If a cryptocurrency project's team members are anonymous or have no verifiable track record in blockchain or related fields, it's a warning sign.

For instance, if a project claims to be led by "Blockchain Expert X" but provides no proof of X's expertise, proceed with caution.

.

5. Pre-mined or Insta-mined Supply:

Some shady projects pre-mine or insta-mine a significant portion of their coin supply, giving them a massive advantage and potential to manipulate prices.

Always take a look at their tokenomics on their whitepaper and ensure the team is NOT holding a significant amount

This could be a threat if they decide to sell it later.

For example, if a coin's creators hold 90% of the total supply and can flood the market at any time, it's a clear indication they might be planning a "pump and dump" scheme.

.

6. Lack of Exchange Listings: 

Reputable cryptocurrencies are typically listed on well-known exchanges like Kucoin, Binance and so on.

If you can only find a coin on obscure, low-volume exchanges with little to no trading activity, it's a red flag.

The team should at least have a roadmap on when they are going on new listings - not just staying on dextools.

As legitimate projects aim for broad exposure to maximize liquidity.

.

7. Lack of Transparency: 

Trust is essential in the cryptocurrency space. 

If a project lacks clear communication channels with the community, or if they provide sketchy or contradictory information, it's a warning sign. 

For instance, if the team avoids answering tough questions about their project's roadmap or technology, it's time to be cautious.

-

In summary, when evaluating cryptocurrencies, it's crucial to conduct thorough research and apply critical thinking. 

Don't chase the quick gains - Let it come to you.

When you chase something it runs away from you, but do your due diligence and be patient and you will attract the right projects.

So look for projects with genuine use cases, transparent teams, active development, and a history of responsible behaviour in the market.

.

And by the way,

I hope you are all actively engaging with all the content on Patreon because it really has the potential to profoundly impact your life.

Go all in and learn - take it seriously.

In just two weeks, you'll receive access to the Discord community and the AI futures bot, which has been consistently delivering positive results.

You will see for yourself soon.

It's absolutely crucial for you to learn and undergo a paradigm shift so that you can approach the upcoming bull market with the right mindset. 

I want to emphasise that having the right mindset is essential, as I firmly believe that without it, you will continue to stay broke.

4 Unspoken Laws To Winning Big In Crypto.

The Future Of The Internet - Web 3.0

3 Things Every Crypto Millionaire Knows.

38) How to structure your Crypto portfolio.

37) 3 Quick Crypto Lessons.

First, I have something exciting to say:

Next post I will be switching it up.

If you think this content is amazing, wait till you see what's coming.

I don't want to speak too much.

You will see what I mean.

But let's get into it:

.

.

1) Crypto and Stocks are now best friends.

Crypto and Stocks are besties.

They go with each other, spend time together every day, and are doing their separate thing for not very long at any given time.

Crypto is now just a high-beta stock play.

High beta = higher volatility in comparison.

Crypto Whales can hold a level or area of price temporarily, but crypto's direction now depends almost entirely on stocks.

Why is this?

• Crypto is offered as an investment option on most of the traditional investment platforms.
• The Crypto market has entered mainstream consciousness. 
• Large fund managers have allocated substantial investment capital to the Crypto space, meaning there are large players who follow the Stock Market and the FED very closely for buying/selling crypto.

It has never been more important to have a solid understanding of the FED, the Macro environment, and the future direction of major US Stock Indices.

These are just one of the reasons why the upcoming bull run is expected to be the last and most profitable.

The crypto market is maturing, attracting more traditional investors who view it as a valuable investment opportunity.

-

-

2) Crypto is Poker on easy mode.

Some of the BEST Crypto speculators I know are ex-Professional Poker players.

The game of Crypto and Poker is incredibly similar because:

• Both are negative sum ($1 in is at max .99 out as the house takes its share)
• The 95% of losers are what enable the 5% of winners
• The vast majority are actually gambling, only a small few ever play with a proven edge over their competitors
• The best Poker players have a profound understanding of human psychology
• The key to being profitable is building a system that will make you money over time and STICKING TO IT.

The reason so many Ex-Poker players come to Crypto is simple:

Trying to make money in the Crypto Casino is the equivalent of turning up to a Poker tournament against a room of amateurs.

Most Crypto speculators are genuine morons, implementing nothing more than spread betting and wishful thinking.

The amount of money you are able to take from a market comes down to how much your counterparty is willing to lose.

And in Crypto, your counterparty is willing to lose A LOT.

.

This is what you need to understand:

Being profitable is like attracting a Butterfly.

You can't attract Butterflies by chasing them.

Gardeners attract butterflies by gardening, allowing flowers to grow which will attract butterflies.

Profitable trading/investing works in the same way.

Those who try to chase profits will have them scared away, for they do not deserve them.

Those who build their knowledge, and their systems/strategies, and patiently wait for the correct setups (flowers), will be rewarded with profits in time (the butterflies).

There are no ifs or buts to the reality of this metaphor, it is absolutely true and there are

zero exceptions to the rule

-

-

3) You will never TRULY understand Crypto until you’ve experienced a full market cycle.

The biggest issue new investors have who enter in the bull market is falsely believing that they are entitled to profits simply by being in the market.

That Crypto prices just continue up to ad infinitum and all they need to do is ‘buy the dip!

And ‘HODL’!

There are two distinct ‘modes’ you need to operate in to be successful as an investor:

• 1. Surviving
• 2. Thriving

Thriving is all about maximising your returns in the bull market, by understanding that prices will go higher than anyone can imagine.

Speculators always underestimate the upside in the early phase of a bull market (disbelief), and underestimate the downside in the early phases of a bear market (denial)

Speculators who have experienced a full market cycle will be able to identify which stage of this cycle they’re in, and make adjustments to which ‘mode’ they should being accordingly.

The wealthiest investors in a bull market:

Are the individuals who implemented ‘bad habits’ early (HODL, no profit taking, 100x, high risk, etc)

The wealthiest investors in a bear market:

Are the individuals who implemented good habits before they saw the decline coming, being mostly in cash, low risk, sitting on their hands, etc.

Understand the full cycle to be able to act accordingly.

With that being said.

See you at the next SPECIAL post.

36) One of my top 5 favourite Altcoins.

Before we begin,

I'd like to mention that DISCORD access for the NEW people will be granted at the end of this month.

This decision was made INTENTIONALLY.

It's crucial to recognise the distinction between my approach and others.

The reason 90% of people in groups FAIL is because they rely on someone else to make money for them.

In fact, it applies to 100% of groups.

Otherwise, everyone would be wealthy.

Instead, I will demonstrate what to do and how I'm doing it so you can replicate the success.

This is the winning formula.

-

The coin is called $DAG (CONSTELLATION)

"Constellation is a feeless decentralized network that enables anyone to build the future of Web3 on a secure, infinitely scalable and cross-chain interoperable protocol."

What does this mean?

Constellation Network is a special network that allows people to create the future of Web3.

It's FEELESS, which means you don't have to pay any fees to use it.

The network is secure and can handle a LARGE number of users and transactions.

It also works well with OTHER blockchain networks, so you can easily connect and communicate between different blockchains.

-

-

Why is it special?

Constellation Network is a unique decentralized network that operates as LAYER 0 in the blockchain ecosystem.

Layer 0 standard is the protocol that serves as the fundamental for all other protocols built on it.

To understand its significance, let's look at the differences:

LAYER 1 refers to the base layer of a blockchain, such as Ethereum or Bitcoin. 

It is where the main transactions and smart contracts take place. 

However, Layer 1 blockchains often face challenges like scalability and high transaction fees.

LAYER 2 solutions, on the other hand, are built on top of Layer 1 blockchains to address these issues. 

They enable faster and cheaper transactions by handling them off-chain and settling the final result on the Layer 1 blockchain.

Now, Constellation Network operates as LAYER 0, which means it provides a fundamental infrastructure layer for various Layer 1 and Layer 2 blockchains.

It offers a secure and highly scalable protocol for building decentralized applications (DApps) and connecting different blockchains together.

By being interoperable and feeless, Constellation Network aims to overcome the limitations of traditional Layer 1 and Layer 2 solutions, opening up new possibilities for the future of Web3.

-

Remember we always stay one step AHEAD and base our investments on the FUTURE.

Ask yourself this question.

What is the most valuable intangible asset in today's world?

The answer is DATA.

How?

It provides:

• valuable insights,
• enables informed decision-making,
• drives innovation,
• enhances various aspects of operations.

Companies that can EFFECTIVELY collect, analyse, and leverage data have a competitive edge in today's digital landscape.

They will need Constellation Network because it provides solutions for securing and managing big data.

The project addresses issues related to the security of data, which is CRUCIAL for advancing technologies like machine learning and artificial intelligence.

-

AI relies on data, but it's only as good as the data it has.

Right now, it's difficult to make sure that the data used by AI is VALID.

The audit trails available for AI devices can be MANI.

Constellation Network aims to prevent situations like when Uber's autonomous vehicle caused an accident but no one took responsibility because there was no CLEAR record of the data used.

Constellation Network uses technologies like HYPERGRAPH network and state channels to create a TRANSPARENT audit trail for data.

With Constellation Network, data is validated by a community of people, and the network is governed by this community.

This ensures transparency and RELIABILITY in the data used by AI.

Constellation Network is focused on speed, security, and development experience while also prioritizing safety and trustworthy data.

-

-

Constellation Network uses a special structure called Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) to keep track of transactions.

This also allows for faster and fee-less transactions.

This is DIFFERENT from traditional blockchains.

Traditional blockchains use a LINEAR  structure to record and store transactions.

Let me explain:

Imagine each transaction as a point connected to other points in a graph.

The graph only goes in one direction, with new transactions building on top of previous ones.

This way, transactions can be validated without checking the entire ledger, making it faster.

Now Constellation Network takes it a step FURTHER.

They use multiple independent graphs that come together to form a bigger graph, called a HYPERGRAPH.

It's like connecting different puzzles to create a BIGGER picture. 

This allows the network to combine data from different networks and systems into one evolving structure.

The HYPERGRAPH is useful for building complex applications and making transactions between different networks EASIER.

It's like having a universal language that allows different systems to communicate and work together.

-

-

The DAG ecosystem has formed PARTNERSHIPS with MANY organizations to enhance its capabilities and EXPAND its reach.

Above are SOME listed on their website.

Also to mention recently it has also partnered with the US AIR FORCE.

Including the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL).

This makes Constellation Network one of the FIRST blockchain companies to successfully fulfil a GOVERNMENT contract focused on delivering a working prototype.

The partnership aimed to establish a secure and efficient method for transferring confidential DATA within the Defense Transportation System commercial airlift partners.

This DAG structure is what sets $DAG apart from OTHER blockchain projects.

The support and involvement of the US Air Force REINFORCE its significance and make it an intriguing project to consider.

-

-

Let's take a look at the technical of $DAG

The Market cap is currently only at $40 MILLION.

This is an absolute STEAL in comparison to other token valuations.

The room for growth is INSANE.

There has been 3 divergence taps already which suggests the bottom is NEAR.

Max pain would be the blue line at around $0.015 which would only provide a better BUYING opportunity.

The reward clearly OUTWEIGHS the risk.

Note that in a bear market, it is normal for prices to fall.

AS LONG AS THE PROJECT IS STILL BUILDING.

This project has achieved its roadmap target and continues to do so.

It is ranked #423 with nearly 100,000 people having it on its watchlist.

You can not ignore this.

@ionicXBT

35) Crypto psychology lessons no one shares.

Before we start let me get this point across:

I am not your average Crypto Educator, and I want to make this very clear from the get go.

Nothing I teach here is ‘conventional’ Crypto knowledge.

I’ve been in the Crypto space for many years, and:

• Have networked with several Crypto Billionaires.
• Have seen the deep, dark secrets of how the Crypto industry works.
• Spoken directly with many of the big influencers of the Crypto world.
• Spent years full time in Crypto, deep diving to find only the most accurate and credible sources of information
• Trade with people who have 15+ year experience in markets, 8 figure traders.

And what I’ve learnt is that there is a clear divide in the QUALITY of knowledge that the 90% of investors are learning VS the top 10%.

My goal is to bring YOU from that shit 90%, into the top 10%.

So let’s begin.

.

.

- All markets are largely the same.

Want to know the one thing in common between EVERY market, regardless of if it is stocks, bonds, commodities, Crypto, Real Estate?

Every market is traded by HUMANS.

And what do all humans have in common?

All humans have the same base level programming, a set of biases, of emotions, of instinctual triggers, and survival mechanisms.

This programming is what defines the majority of our decision making in crypto.

Only a small % of people are able to act DIFFERENTLY.

The reason WHY our programming is so tough to overcome is this,

Humans evolved into who we are today through MILLIONS of years of hardwiring and adaptation.

The reason we follow the herd is because those who went separate from the herd hundreds of years ago would DIE.

The world was built through collaborative TEAM effort, and interconnected belief sets and action taking.

This is the EXACT thing NOT to do in Crypto; If you do what the majority do, you will LOSE money.

.

.

- Supply & Demand.

Supply and demand is an absolutely crucial concept to understand in Crypto investing.

SUPPLY refers to the amount of an asset that people want to SELL

DEMAND refers to the amount of an asset that people want to BUY

When you go into a supermarket, the supply = the food, and the demand = the shopper.

The changes in supply and demand are fundamental to predicting where the prices of the Crypto market will go.

In simple terms:

Supply increasing + demand decreasing = falling prices

Supply decreasing + demand increasing = rising prices

We want to buy Crypto, when we expect demand to increase, supply to decrease, OR both.

We want to sell Crypto, when we expect demand to decrease, supply to increase, OR both.

Bear markets are caused by the demand decreasing for people to buy, and the supply of coins being sold increasing.

And thus, vice versa for when bull markets begin.

.

Now, what determines the supply/demand of Cryptocurrencies?

Stuff that causes supply to rise:

• Inflation of new coins into the market.
• Investors losing hope for their investments and deciding to sell.
• Hacks that lead to hackers selling coins after they’ve been stolen.
• The macro economy getting weaker.
• Totally separate new coins being created, spreading the attention span of the current investor pool.

Stuff that causes demand to rise:

• Either the decrease in new coins being inflated into the market, or total stopping of inflation.
• Investors becoming more bullish on a Crypto investment.
• The macro economy getting stronger.
• ‘Buy back’ programs, where the coins buy back their own tokens off the market.
• New partnerships, new team brought on, project updates, exciting narratives, adoption of new investors using their platform, etc.

.

.

- Bear Market Yields Don’t Really Exist.

You’ve probably seen the yields that are available for simply lending your coins to others.

You put your coins on the platform, you lock them up, and in return, you receive free money!

There are projects out there, offering 50%, 200%, 500%, 1000%+ yearly yield on coins if you lend/stake them!

What could ever go wrong??

Well, here’s the problem:

In the traditional world, the yield you receive is a function of the supply of money, and the demand for that money.

In the Crypto world, this is NOT true!

Let me tell you why these projects don't survive:

In bear markets, the demand for borrowed money is VERY low, as people don’t expect to really make any money from the borrowed money.

An individual will only borrow money, for example at a 20% yearly rate, if they expect to make more than 20% on that borrowed money.

In bear markets, investors don’t expect to make ANY money, and thus they aren’t willing to pay exorbitant amounts for extra capital.

.

So how do these projects pay you 500% in a bear market?

The answer is simple:

Instead of taking your money, lending it, and giving you a slice of the pie, they do something else.

These Crypto projects pay your yield in newly inflated tokens, instead of in the interest payments from the borrowers.

.

For example:

Coin XYZ has a supply of 100,000 tokens at a price per token of $1.

90,000 tokens are locked, receiving a 500% yearly return.

Coin XYZ PRINTS 100,000 new tokens to pay the holders of the existing tokens a yield.

Because there is 100,000 new tokens added to the total supply, this causes a 100% inflation of the market cap of the project.

Everyone just got twice as rich!

Good right? No

There is one problem:

Each token is now worth 50 cents, so even though you have twice as many tokens, these tokens are worth half of what they were before, meaning you made zero dollars!

So during this ENTIRE process, you made NO money, and took on the huge risk of the project being rug pulled, and you losing ALL your money, for zero upside.

This is why, the aim of the game is SURVIVAL, and why we say everyone is here to take your money, because they are.

When trying to identify if a yield-bearing opportunity is a worthwhile investment,

You ALWAYS need to consider who is paying for the profits I will be making?

Where is the profits coming from?

What is the psychology of the person losing money in this ecosystem while I am able to make a profit?

If you cannot identify who the person is who pays for your profits, it’s YOU.

- Shiny Object Syndrome.

The probability of an old coin ‘shining again’ (outperforming the market significantly and going to ATH’s) is less than 2%.

That means, if you buy 100 old coins, only 2 historically performed as well as the new frontier.

They will still do well (10x), but not better than a NEW coin.

Why is this?

There are a series of characteristics which define the new and old projects as I will describe below.

Old Project Characteristics:

• Has been pump and dumped before, with a sea of bagholders waiting for price to rise to exit.
• Likely built around an old narrative in Crypto, e.g. Exchange token, DeFi 2.0 protocol, DEX governance token, etc. No one cares about old narratives.
• Project has likely failed to deliver its huge promises of adoption, meaning investors have less conviction.
• A large prior decline makes it much harder for the coin to enter ‘price discovery’, which is where all the action takes place.
• It’s easier to convince a first time buyer, then a second time buyer. If everyone has seen your shit coin for years, and still achieve little, they’re
• gonna be MUCH harder to convince.
• Token emissions increase typically as the project goes on = more inflation

.

New Project Characteristics

• No bagholders, as the coin has not had a huge retracement. This means investors don’t have the mentality of ‘I will exit when I recoup my losses’, they have the mindset of ‘I will HODL this to the moon’.
• Built around a new, and promising narrative of mass adoption such as AI. The coin is shiny because the potential upside is HUGE, this is the new paradigm.
• The project is new, no one is clear what they’re actually capable of, but the hype and potential is huge, so hopefully it pays off.
• No large prior decline, price only needs to rise slightly to enter price discovery, where every single holder is in profit, and anything becomes possible in their minds. (It’s much easier to HODL a winning position rising in price, then a losing position rising in price)
• It’s easier to convince a first time buyer, then a second time buyer. New projects have the ‘new to town advantage'.
• Token emissions initially are typically smaller = less inflation.

All of these characteristics RELATE back to the key concept of supply & demand.

How?

Old coins suffer from supply issues (lots of people wanting to exit + more inflation) and demand issues (less people are interested to buy).

As an investor, you need to focus on finding the NEXT promising coins that haven’t experienced a full Pump & Dump market cycle.

This is why I like NEW coins such as

- $VXV

- $IMX

- $EJS

- $NAKA

- $VR

So take a moment to examine the charts of these coins.

You'll notice that they are all relatively NEW and have experienced a decline after their initial listing.

This presents an opportunity for us as investors.

The ideal time to buy is when the market structure shifts from bearish to bullish, signaled by a bullish divergence on a higher time frame.

Simple.

If you enjoyed these exclusive lessons that you won't find on the internet, just like this post, and I'll create a part 2 for you.

34) This is the next 5 figure AIRDROP.

Airdrops can be a great way to increase your trading capital with very LITTLE cost and risk involved. All it takes is a little time, patience, and organization.

I'm sure you know that already.

So I'm going to share with you one of the BIGGEST potential future airdrops.

This is one of the major upcoming airdrops, funded by MANY reputable global enterprises such as PAYPAL.

This project already has a pre-valuation of 3 BILLION dollars.

This is HUGE.

So let's get straight into it.

The project is called LAYER ZERO.

.

.

Let me tell you about which PROBLEM they are solving.

Blockchain technology has a challenge known as INTEROPERABILITY.

This is like having different financial systems that DON'Teasily connect with each other.

Imagine you have money in one bank, but you can't easily send it to someone who uses a different bank.

Similarly, in the blockchain world, different blockchains often operate independently.

This makes it DIFFICULT to transfer money seamlessly between them.

.

This lack of interoperability LIMITS your options for moving your funds across different blockchain networks.

To solve this problem, developers are working on layer zero solutions.

These solutions aim to create software that acts as a UNIVERSAL connector, enabling smooth communication and transfers of money between DIFFERENT blockchains.

It's like having a bridge that allows you to send money from one bank to another without any hassle.

By achieving better interoperability, these layer zero solutions will empower you to access a wider range of blockchain networks and seamlessly transfer your funds across them.

Absolutely amazing.

.

The Layer Zero team has raised from TOP VC funds, including: 

• Sequoia Capital, 
• a16z, 
• Binance Labs, 
• Coinbase, 
• Tiger Global, 

More funding provides the capacity to carry out a BIGGER airdrop.

For comparison, the Arbitrum team raised $123 million and its airdrop was one of the BIGGEST in history.

Whilst the Layer Zero team has raised over $263 million.

To sum up, I think we can expect a JUICY airdrop from Layer Zero.

.

How to Receive the Potential LayerZero Token Airdrop?

There is no defined list of tasks that you need to perform to qualify.

But if we refer to previous airdrops of other projects, we know that what counts the most is the NUMBER of interactions with the ecosystem.

So what can you do to maximize your chances?

1) Use Stargate Finance.

Stargate is the core dApp on Layer Zero so it makes sense to use it:

• Bridge assets on Stargate’s transfer page
• Provide liquidity to pools on Stargate
• Stake the STG token on Stargate’s staking page

To stake STG, you need to acquire it on a centralized exchange, such as Binance, KuCoin, Kraken, Bitfinex, Gate.io.

By staking STG on Stargate, you earn voting rights for Stargate Finance, so use them to regularly vote on proposals.

.

.

2) Bridge funds using other bridges.

To "bridge" in this context means to transfer or move funds from one blockchain network to another.

Using Layer Zero's solution, you can bridge funds using different bridges that are part of their ecosystem. 

Here are some examples:

• Aptos Bridge: 

This bridge allows you to transfer tokens from an EVM-compatible blockchain to the Aptos network.

• BTC Bridge: 

This is a good way for people on a budget to interact with the LayerZero ecosystem.

Doing 20 transactions on BitcoinBridge will only cost around US$15!

Here’s how to use BitcoinBridge:

- Buy BTC.b on Trader Joe here.

- Connect your EVM and Aptos wallets here.

 - Bridge assets between different networks.

• Harmony Bridge: 

The Harmony Bridge enables you to bridge assets from Ethereum or Binance Smart Chain (BNB) to the Harmony blockchain. It allows for the transfer of tokens between these different blockchain networks.

.

.

3) Interact with other dApps on Layer Zero

In this context, "interact" refers to actively participating in the functionalities provided by these dApps, such as trading, swapping, lending, borrowing, and transferring assets.

Many apps use Layer Zero.

Some of the main ones are SushiSwap, Tapioca, Rage Trade, Hashflow, and Radiant Capital.

For example, you can make cross-chain swaps on SushiSwap which leverages Layer Zero’s omnichain messaging protocol.

RageTrade is a yield and perpetual protocol built on Arbitrum and Layer Zero. You can trade on Rage Trade or deposit into its vaults.

Tapioca is a lending and borrowing protocol based on Layer Zero. You can also use it to transfer assets across 3 different chains.

Hashflow is a multi-chain decentralized trading protocol that uses Layer Zero’s message-passing system for cross-chain transactions.

.

.

Now this is what you need to understand:

Interact with protocols using Layer Zero’s solutions on a regular basis over a longer period.

The most important aspect of airdrops is to show real interest in the ecosystem by using it repeatedly.

Most people will complete a few transactions and then FORGET about it.

Set time apart for airdrop-related activities.

You do NOT need to do transactions on a daily basis.

However, if you don’t decide on a specific time of the month to farm the airdrop, you’ll most likely forget.

The most expensive aspect of airdrop farming is transaction fees.

When bridging funds on Layer Zero, use low-fee networks such as Polygon, Avalanche, Arbitrum, BNB Smart Chain, or Optimism (basically, steer clear of Ethereum).

-

I chose LAYER ZERO as:

The higher the pre valuation the more valuable the airdrops will be.

This pre-valuation is one of the highest out there.

So many people waste their time on airdrops that are only worth $50, because the pre valuation are so low.

Don't waste your time.

Airdrops that are EASY will not be worth much, as everyone will do it.

You can see LAYER ZERO has quite some work.

This means many people WON'T do it, which is exactly what we want.

As the rewards should be nothing less than $40k.

33) You MUST Know these 10 Crypto lessons.

With many years of experience in this crypto space and dedicating several hours each DAY to learning,

I feel responsible for ensuring you DON'T repeat the same mistakes I made.

-

1) It will be 2-3 years before you make money as a trader.

If you're reading this and thinking:

 “Pssh, this guy doesn’t know what he's talking about.

I know me. I know I am good at managing my emotions. I’m really smart, I went really well in high school!”

The market doesn’t care what your GRADES were, how well you can discipline yourself to have COLD showers, or how fast of a learner you are.

You WILL pay your tuition to the market.

The only way to speed up this process is to directly LEARN from a mentor who already trades.

Luckily for you, I am here teaching you. You are in safe hands.

Make sure when you begin your trading you trade with small amounts.

Enough to feel pain when you lose, but not enough that you can’t sleep at night.

-

2) Understand why the Bitcoin price moves as it does.

Bitcoin’s price action can be explained up into two distinctive driving forces:

1. On a LONGER timeframe, Bitcoin’s price is driven by INVESTORS and it’s adoption curve.

This includes:

• The number of users,
• How valuable Bitcoin is to use/hold, 
• How developed the surrounding infrastructure gives Bitcoin an underlying ‘price floor’.

2. On a SHORTER time frame, price is determined by which direction can liquidate the most TRADERS on derivatives exchanges.

Here is a simple illustration to help you visualise:

Reflexivity if you only use one word to describe Bitcoin’s volatility it’s this

George Soros said it best

reflexivity is the theory that a two-way feedback loop exists in which investors' perceptions affect the market environment, which in turn changes investors' perceptions.

-

Put SIMPLY, higher prices beget higher prices, and lower prices beget lower prices.

Why does this occur?

Because reflexivity is foundational to the nature of Bitcoin, as no other asset on earth derives such a significant portion of its valuation from its own NETWORK effects.

Network effect = total number of users of the network

As markets are future-looking (people are trying to PREDICT what happens) the market is collectively deciding what the future adoption of Bitcoin will look like.

But because Bitcoin’s main use case is its ability to make money through speculation, it creates this two-way feedback loop:

This is why we get really big PUMPS and subsequent big PULLBACKS.

This is the base level understanding you need to have.

-

3) ‘Alts are dead and they will never pump again’ simply means it’s time to buy.

Altcoins pump because humans are GREEDY.

Bitcoin leads the rally at first. It makes news headlines as it breaks old ATH’s.

People get excited but annoyed that they missed the big rally.

As humans do, we look for the ‘next big thing’.

What will that thing be?

ALTCOINS.

It doesn’t matter if the coin is bad or good, as long as it seems legit to newcomers. Human nature hasn’t changed and likely won’t ever change.

Because of this, the cycle of ‘alts are dead, they won’t pump again’ to ‘buy alts for financial freedom, moon time!!’ will continually play out.

As a trader/investor, your goal is to identify PEAK fear and PEAK greed. It is in these moments that the greatest opportunities present themselves.

Buy when people are chanting that alts are dead.

Sell when people are chanting about how their grandparents are now buying altcoins, and looking at all the islands they can buy.

-

4) STACK CASH, THEN INVEST SERIOUSLY.

Unless you have 5-6 figures+ in Bitcoin, your focus should be on increasing your income.

Because you’re not going to get rich off of your $2000 Bitcoin investment.

‘B-but Bitcoin is going to $500,000!!!!, A-and-moon lambo!’

You spend all day looking at the Bitcoin chart, HODLing your $3000 for dear life, and turning it into $35000.

Even if you're finding small altcoins with large upside potential (20-100x+) You still need capital.

The more money you have to invest the EASIER it is.

-

5) Diversification in crypto is a myth.

TRADITIONAL diversification is a great tool for reducing risk, as you allocate your funds to investments in different industries, instruments, and other categories.

For example,

when you buy stocks you may allocate to FANG stocks, as well as the energy industry, and also stocks that perform well in market declines (food, consumer staples, etc) to reduce risk.

Too many investors believe this same concept works in crypto.

Truth is, it DOESN’T!

99% of alts are driven by the same macro catalyst (normies entering creating an alt season), and also act as a high beta to Bitcoin’s price movements.

In an alt season (which is what investors hope for when buying alts)

EVERY alt pump regardless of if it’s bad or good.

When 99% of alts all move relatively the same, diversification simply adds issues

-

6) Do you need leverage in Crypto?

To answer this question, you need to be real with yourself, and ask 'Why am I needing more capital to trade with?'

If the answer is: "I have a profitable strategy that I have tested for 6+ months and I wish to reduce my counterparty risk by using leverage so that I can free capital up to be used in other ventures" then the answer is, YES use leverage

If the answer is: "I want to trade with more to make more profits" then the answer is ABSOLUTELY NO

Leverage is not a tool used to trade with MORE, it's actually a tool used to trade with LESS.

If you're worried about not making enough profits from your trading, then increase your income.

Leverage, for the sake of leverage, is the single most harmful tool you'll ever come across in your trading.

Leverage essentially increases emotional toil, stress, gambling chemicals like dopamine, and the desire for quick riches.

The emotional turmoil of trading with $100 using 10x leverage, and $1000 using 0 leverage is much worse for the former.

And the entire goal of trading is to reduce emotions, so using leverage is the exact opposite thing that helps you in 99% of cases.

DON'T USE LEVERAGE UNLESS YOU'RE PROFITABLE WITHOUT IT

-

7) The key to getting rich is to combine solid cash flow with capital multiplication avenues.

Capital can be multiplied through various methods.

Most people have little to no creativity or work ethic and thus just look to Crypto to grow their money.

The ones who see the greatest success in life and in achieving financial freedom, invest their money not just in unique ways, but in a large degree of ways.

You need a method to create wealth (income), And you need methods to multiply this wealth CRYPTO.

And you need to focus intensely on both income + investments.

Crypto is a great method of creating wealth, but YOU NEED something coming in as this place is full of opportunities

-

8) Don't be a Crypto loser.

Losers: "Let me try to figure this out myself!"

Winners: "Who has already solved this problem?"

When you spend money to invest in education like this you're essentially purchasing that person's mistakes and compressing the learning time for yourself.

In Crypto, there is an ENDLESS amount of mistakes that every trader has had to make prior to becoming profitable.

The same can be said for investing.

This is why good trading requires years to learn.

There are simply so many mistakes that need to be made, and learned from, before you're in a position where your correct decisions outweigh your incorrect ones (and you become profitable)

If you choose to take the 'lone wolf' path to trade, it's 2-3 years before being profitable.

If you choose to learn directly from my mistakes, the process is a lot QUICKER.

-

9) It's not about WHAT you buy, it's about WHEN you buy it.

If you haven't noticed by now, Crypto as a whole is very much correlated to the price action of Bitcoin.

However, even with this knowledge, most newcomers fall for the false mindset of

• 'What is the next 100x altcoin!"
• 'Which coin can I buy to be set free!'
• "If I just buy a good coin it won't matter what price I buy it at! Just as long as I own a good coin!"

The truth is, 

if you magically buy an altcoin because it's 'good', without a proper strategy for when you bought it, the returns you'll achieve will be 8 out of 10 times the same, or underperforming the rest of the market.

To outperform the benchmark in Crypto you need to have an effective strategy like the ones i teach.

-

10) How to always stay ahead of the next big societal trends/innovations

Bubbles are actually your best friend:

Bubbles are periods of time where the valuations of an asset far exceed its underlying value.

They reflect an intense underlying enthusiasm for what the project/company/asset class is building.

• Bubbles act as a magnet for talent from many different industries who look to build companies in the sector to capitalize on the boom.
• Bubbles typically represent technology that has the capacity to revolutionise the world, bringing in revolutionaries who reshape entire industries.
• Bubbles related to new technology ALWAYS occur for a reason. Hype is rarely unwarranted, it’s just too early.

It’s for these reasons that you need to get involved, and the process for doing so is rather simple:

• Notice a bubble in a particular asset class - Allow your curiosity to run wild - learn the basics
• Don’t FOMO, simply continue to research and allocate a small sum of money
• Eventually, the bubble dies down, it is here where you begin to accumulate positions in projects with the best teams/founders
• Don’t let several months/years of bear market scare you off - as long as the magnetic effect of talent entering the space continues, you’ll be sweet.

-

If you’ve read this far,

I GUARANTEE you have just increased your profits for the next bull run immensely.

You have done yourself a major favour, so congrats.

This is what I wish I had known earlier and would have maximized my profits, but I learned this through surrounding myself with smarter and more intelligent people.

32) Lesson 7 of Technical Analysis.

31) MEME COIN UPDATE.

On April 6 I shared the post number:

 25) My next 100x meme coins?

One of the coins I shared was MONKEYS and how Elon musk being the reason for this narrative was strong enough.

Since then the price has over increased way over 1000%.

-

Also, remember Elon Musk's Twitter list.

When I first shared it with you, it was only ay 3000 followers

You can literally go back to Post 25 and see for yourself.

Now take a look at how many followers the list has:

And the funny thing is that Elon hasn't even tweeted yet.

So everyone is buying the rumour as everyone looks into anticipation.

Now people are taking profits and you should take out your initial out and some profit.

And leave the rest.
