Navigate markets & grow wealth strategically

When financial protocols are transparent, you get less of an edge by being an insider and more of an edge by being diligent.
The stress of careful investing is nothing compared to the stress of massive losses.
I am actually starting to imagine ways crypto can help people make useful transactions beyond financially nihilistic games of hot potato.

did you even read the white paper
While I do believe, like most of us in the crypto industry, that Web3 is going to transform a host of industries and provide gigantic opportunities for investors. It is IMPERATIVE that you, as an investor, realize that the best way to make sure you make money is to be defensive with your hard earned cash.

Take risks, but make sure your risks are calculated and not wanton.

Spend more time researching projects, narratives, and macroeconomics before investing more than 25% of your net worth into crypto.

And never let the crowd shake you out of your strategy if you have confidence in it.
BlackRock just filed for a fund with a target date of *2070*.

The world’s largest asset manager is targeting younger and younger investors.
