Unlocking the Future: Why Crypto Matters

We probably all have heard stories of the “lucky” investors who made a fortune buying Bitcoin early, or, even worse, those “unfortunate” ones who lost everything betting big on a project that boasted a cute dog as a mascot. Those things just happen to other people though, right?

Be that as it may, I wholeheartedly believe that crypto matters and it is important that everyone build a general understanding of what it is and why it is important. Quite simply, crypto represents a paradigm shift about how we think about money, transactions, and the greater overall financial systems we currently use. Like the Internet before it, as the crypto industry matures, it promises to be integrated into most aspects of our daily lives.

So What is Crypto? 

While everyone has probably heard of Bitcoin, very few really understand the larger entity which is cryptocurrency, or “crypto” for short. 

Essentially crypto is built upon a technology known as the blockchain. This is a decentralized, distributed ledger that records transactions in a way that ensures security, transparency, and immutability. Using various types of consensus mechanisms, the blockchain validates transactions to ensure all parts of the ledger work in agreement. 

Some blockchains, such as Ethereum, utilize Smart Contracts, which are self-executing agreements that are written directly into the code. They are used to automate processes and reduce the need for intermediaries.

Because of the innovative approach it takes, blockchain technology has the potential to revolutionize numerous industries including not only payments, but A.I., Finance, Gaming, Real Estate, Real World Assets and much more.

Those Who Fail To Learn From The Past…

So why does all this matter? Quite simply, those who do not learn to embrace the most revolutionary technologies of modern times stand to be left behind and potentially find themselves at a disadvantage in a time of crisis.

Think about 2013, when the country of Cyprus closed all of its banks to prevent a bank run after it went through a financial crisis. Customers panicked because they had no way to access the money in their accounts. Think that couldn’t happen here?

Bitcoin prevents a hedge against these types of situations as it remains a decentralized digital currency that cannot be manipulated by the government. There is a finite supply and it offers a great store of value. It even topped an all-time high price of over $73k a coin earlier this year. While the value of the US Dollar continues to dwindle, Bitcoin’s value continues to rise year over year.

Understanding how crypto works opens the doors to not only being able to utilize a whole new suite of financial tools and products, but, to an even greater extent, allows you to profit from them.

However, you might be surprised to learn it’s not just those who bought Bitcoin early who have enjoyed astronomical gains. New projects are being released every day that have the potential for staggering returns. I personally have been part of several projects that did over x100 returns and even hold some now that I believe could eventually offer x1000 returns. Are those normal or easy to identify? Of course not. However I know of very few investment vehicles that every day people can take part in that offer such tantalizing potential. The key is to identify these projects in their infancy.

Enter Crypto Juggernaut

In the 10+ years I have followed crypto, I have had some incredible success, but also made a lot of mistakes along the way. Trial and error can be a great way to learn, but it is scary when investment dollars are involved.

The number one problem I hear from people who have not yet jumped into crypto investing is that it is “too complicated”. In the weeks ahead, I am going to demystify crypto and help you learn everything you need to get started and, more importantly, to successfully build both your general knowledge and investment wealth.

Things I plan to cover in the weeks ahead include:

• How to start your first crypto account

• The differences between centralized and decentralized exchanges

• How to keep your assets safe and secure from scam and fraud

• My methods for identifying under-the-radar projects

• And much more!

Additionally, I will be sharing key news updates, introductions to promising new projects, and answer any questions you may have along the way. My goal is to help you grow in comfort as a crypto investor and learn to make the system work for you.

Thank you for being part of the journey!
