Today I asked some guys in our crypto market update class how long they've been part of our Wealth Building Community. And after looking at the numbers, our average member has been with us for over FIVE YEARS. And over 50% have been with us 7-10 years!. I'm so proud of what

.@YouTube just removed most of my crypto videos citing "harmful or dangerous content" and "sale of regulated goods". it's been 10 years of making videos, 200k+ subs, and 7M+ views. WTF are you guys doing @TeamYouTube?!

The "bitcoin is bad for the environment" argument has been debunked many times. Here's a great overview from @danheld -.
1/ Bitcoin’s energy consumption is not “wasteful.”. - It is much more efficient than existing financial systems.- No one has the moral authority to tell you what is a good or bad use of energy (ex: watching the Kardashians) . Let's debunk this FUD👇.

Haha, it's been 4 years since my first #Ethereum trades. We thought the breakout from $1.50 to $15 was insaaaane. Never underestimate what the crypto markets can do! 😎🤘.

Over-active day trading is like fighting elephants for peanuts. You’ll probably get crushed, and the reward isn’t worth the effort. The biggest profits typically come from investing in good projects early and swing trading highly emotional / volatile markets.

#bitcoin loves to take the stairs up and elevator down. Why? Because people pile into leveraged longs on resistance breaks, stack stop sell orders below support, which creates a fast waterfall of selling on retests. Backtest how many times this has happened over the past decade.

Thanks for the support and comments guys. The crypto community truly is awesome. I should've put my videos on decentralized platforms a long time ago, but lesson learned! This is a clear example of why we need to decentralize the web! 💪😎.

People are mocking this, but @profgalloway is dropping some real wisdom here. Time is your most valuable resource and you don't have to obsess over charts all day to be a success trader or investor. I wasted over 10k hours in my 20's looking at charts. Trade less - Profit more.

I’ve traded every boom and bust pattern in bitcoin for 10 years. Here’s what I’ve learned about the mental game of market cycles and how to be a profitable trader or investor after going full-time in 2013. A non-ai generated thread based on my real-life experience 👇

It's wild how market sentiment can flip from euphoria to panic because of the comments of one dude. If you've been through previous market cycles, then you know #bitcoin is much bigger and more powerful than ANY one person, including billionaires with a cult following.

How altcoin seasons start and end:.1 - people buy Bitcoin, creates bull run.2 - some profit takers on Bitcoin buy alts instead of fiat.3 - alts hit gainers list.4 - breakout buyers feed buying momo.5 - rookies chase, causing parabolic spikes.6 - pros take profit.7 - prices crash.

Buying dips is way harder than buying breakouts. It never feels "comfortable". I actually questioned my sanity when we were buying the March 2020 crash to $4k. But it's often the most uncomfortable actions that turn out to be the most profitable.

Banks can lock your accounts…. PayPal could fine you for misinformation…. Governments can print their way to hyperinflation, over-spend, and steal through taxation…. But no matter what, bitcoin will be here waiting to serve you.

1/ @YouTube was initially created so its founders could illegally share movies with each other. Now it's become one of the world's biggest threats to free speech.
So That Escalated Quickly --> From a Single Video Warning to the ENTIRE CHANNEL Being taken down by @YouTube 🤷♂️. If @TeamYouTube can't resolve this, might be a career change in the near future. Will just trade during the day & have a Nutrition @ytcreators channels at night

$10k emotional price level = volatility. There will be spikes, dumps, traps, breakouts, fakeouts, chop, Bart Simpsons, v-tops, washouts, dragouts, parabolics, and capitulations. This. Is. Cryptooooooo! 🔥🙌.

Unpopular opinion: . Bitcoin is a tool to massively improve your quality of life, not just end up the richest dead guy with the most sats. Yes, stacking sats is important, but it’s ok to liquidate bitcoin to do things like:. - buy a house in cash.- pay off all your debt.- move.

It's strange to see people getting shamed for using their BTC to buy lifestyle-improving assets like real estate. Sure, there's opportunity cost if you spend it now, but a major goal of bitcoin is to improve your quality of life. Do you, boo.

Crypto market cycles 101:. 1) noob buys BTC/alts and believes "prices can't crash" narrative.2) doesn't take any profit during bull market.3) panic sells the low of washouts .4) doesn't buy dips.5) blames others for their losses, quits crypto, calls it a scam.6) Rinse & repeat.

This is a great quote for traders and investors. “The more you sweat in peacetime, the less you bleed during war.” Chinese Proverb. In other words, develop your skills BEFORE a great opportunity comes along so you can execute with confidence.

I have a friend in Myanmar who’s bank just froze everyones’ assets because of the military coup. Without #bitcoin, he wouldn’t be able to pay his employees, contribute to protestors, or eat. BTC is one of the best tools to fight back against repressive regimes.

The brain drain from Wall Street into crypto is in full swing! If you ever find yourself questioning the survivability of crypto, just look at all the talent and effort being poured into the space. Nobody is working to make Wall Street or fiat better.

During the $1k #bitcoin all-time high breakout in Jan 2017, it took over 100 days and two 35% dips before finally breaking out. Price gets choppy & volatile around ATH's. An undisciplined investor's pain is a patient investor's profit. My trades during this time changed my life.

At 23:.• Went broke.• House was foreclosed.• Hated my corporate job. At 25:.• Made $1.2M in a year.• Started loving my work.• Travelled to 45 countries. Your situation can pull a 180 fast. Stay in the fight!.

This is why I don't try to pick tops. bull markets / parabolic runs can go way further than seems "rational". And the markets can stay irrational way longer than someone can stay solvent.

One of the most evil regulations in the U.S. is accredited investor laws. Wanna gamble your life away in Vegas or with lottery tickets? Sure, go ahead!. Wanna invest in early-stage, high-growth companies? Sorry, you're not rich enough, yet. 🤡.

IMO, the only way individual traders can compete is to increase the hold time of their trades. Stop trying to day trade. Look for the bigger price swings, and ignore short-term price action. In other words, less trading can = more profits.

Like this if you think @coinbase should have to prove they can handle some volatility before going public. Yes, they're not the best exchange for seasoned traders, but so many noobs panic sell every time their shitty platform goes down.

What if we gave extra points to younger voters since their futures are impacted most by politicians today?. Something like:. 18-24: Each vote = 1.5.25-44: Each vote = 1.25.45-64: Each vote = 1.65+: Each vote = .75. It forces politicians to think about future generations. 🤔.

Time-based profit goals in trading are counterproductive. Forcing your desires on the market leads to forced entries, over-trading, & emotional trade management. Instead, focus on personal performance goals like only taking A+ rated trades (high probability w/ solid risk/reward).

When someone says “you got lucky for investing in #bitcoin early”, kindly remind them you took on massive levels of risk when everyone was calling us crazy. That’s not luck, it’s seeing a solution to a massive problem and getting skin in the game.
Early Bitcoiners weren’t lucky, they were smart.

I'm seeing a lot of people charting the $13k #btc dip buy area. This kinda feels like when everyone wanted $1,200 after hitting $3k in 2017. During that bull cycle, most dips got bought up faster than people wanted, which added FOMO juice to breakouts. I'm ready either way.

This is 100% true. In my experience, no market has ever come close to the profitability of cryptos - clear trends, huge volatility, and commonplace 10X moves
Advice to those who have made a killing trading only cryptos. When you finally take profits do NOT start trading other markets. All other will disappoint.

The worst thing an investor can do is wallow in regret, calculating missed opportunities or woulda-coulda-shoulda’s. Look forward and realize there’s ALWAYS another opportunity around the corner (as long as you don’t do something stupid that takes you out of the game permanently).
