This took me years to learn on my own… and I’ve condensed my learnings so that I can teach you this stuff very quickly.
However, “quickly” is a relative term. When I started my company, here are the assumptions that I made:
People from all walks of life want and deserve better from their money.
The financial system has many flaws and needs to be revamped.
Everyday people want some crypto in their portfolio.
People want to learn about crypto.
People are willing to pay to shorten the amount of time it takes them to learn about crypto.
Most of these assumptions were correct…. but there’s a big problem with numbers 4 and 5.
People want to learn about crypto
Don’t get me wrong - there are some people out there that would like to learn about crypto. Props to you - you’re gonna make it.
However, most people don’t want an expedited learning time - they want ZERO learning time. Seriously. Life is busy - and for some, even a few hours of precious time is too much. I think they’d feel different if they knew what they’re missing out on, but I digress. On to #5.
People are willing to pay to shorten the amount of time it takes them to learn about crypto.
This assumption goes hand-in-hand with #4. If people don’t want to learn in the first place, they certainly aren’t going to pay for it!
Countless students, clients, and prospects of mine have said something like:
“Chris, can you just do this for me?”
“Can I just give you money and you keep some of the profits?”
“Will you manage my portfolio for me? I’ll pay you!”
Here’s my revised assumption #5:
People are willing to pay to add crypto to their portfolio/get exposure to the asset class.
When I started my company, I did so with the understanding that learning the ins and outs of crypto is important for people that own it in their portfolio. I still believe that.
On the other hand, listening to your customer is also important. That’s why I’m slightly changing course.
Don’t worry - our existing products and services will remain unchanged - but I’m working to add another option:
In an ideal world, I’d like to have it work like this: Anyone, from anywhere in the world, can invest any amount of money (or very low minimum) and I will manage it for you. I’ll use my knowledge and my connections to find and discover asymmetric cryptocurrency opportunities and invest mine and my clients money. I’ll keep a charge a portion of the total profits, and the rest will be yours.
This way, you can:
Get exposure to Bitcoin and Ethereum
Get exposure to smaller, alternative cryptocurrencies
Profit from asymmetric cryptocurrency opportunities
Profit from yield farming and delta-neutral crypto strategies
Without having to do any of it yourself.
🌟 Your next steps
Just wait. When this is up and running - you’ll be the first to know… and I’ll be sure to run some kind of special or deal for my readers.
Your Takeaway
A slice of a watermelon is a bigger than 100% of a grape.
🚨 Action Items 🚨
Bitcoin is a hedge against government manipulation of currency.
I guarantee that many of you reading this have all of your assets in the current system. You need to get some money outside. Hedge your bets.
If you’re at all concerned about inflation and government control of currency, you need to:
Dont hesitate any longer. Money is changing… and you do not want to be late.
