It takes 3 cycles to make money in crypto
It takes 3 cycles to make money in crypto. The first cycle, you lose money. You get in near the top after hearing you could make money easily, and ride it all the way down. Hopefully, you learn your lessons and stick around; most quit. Maybe you also get caught in a an echo chamber or are a victim of clever marketing, and put too much hope in a coin that’s going nowhere. Maybe you also try to ‘trade’ to compensate for your losses; you fail, and lose most of what you put in, which was more tha...

What If Ethereum Was The Face Of The Crypto Industry?
Bitcoin occupies about 80% of popular mindshare when it comes to the crypto industry. It’s probably because attention goes to the largest things - and Bitcoin has always had the largest market cap of any cryptoasset. It’s currently about 3 times larger than Ethereum’s - and it’s undoubtedly the ‘face of the crypto industry. But by any other metric, Ethereum is bigger:Number of UsersNumber of TransactionsVolume of Transactions ($)Total fees paid to transactThe list goes on. Ethereum flipped Bi...

Notes on the US crypto 'pivot' from someone who's been talking about it for ages
This isn’t a pivot. The SEC has never hated crypto. There are videos of Gary Gensler lecturing about crypto years ago - he definitely knows his stuff, and he’s not an idiot. The SEC are, and have always been, broadly neutral on crypto. But the SEC have a job: to protect people from scams. Crypto is FULL of scams, rugpulls, and other shady behaviour. It’s the SEC’s job to stop the scams and protect investors. The SEC doesn’t have the resources to go after all the scams in crypto. They are alre...

Why Ethereum Will Flip Bitcoin: The Big Picture
It’s odd to compare Bitcoin and Ethereum, because they’re so different. They are both blockchains, but that’s where the similarities end. It’s like comparing apples to oranges and asking ‘which is better?’. Or, like comparing gold to stocks; they may both be investable assets, but they’re completely different. I’m going to explain the differences, how they drive investment returns, and explain why Ethereum has historically outperformed Bitcoin. I’ll also explain why this outperformance will c...

Why ETH?
Eth is outperforming. Over the last 5 years, ETH has outperformed clearly, consistently, and dramatically. This chart shows ETH’s outperformance over all other cryptocurrencies, excluding bitcoin and the top 3 stablecoins:The trend is up.This graph is actually biased against ETH, because it shows the total market cap, not real performance. That means it doesn’t account for the inflation of other cryptocurrencies, and includes new token launches that an average investor wouldn’t gain from. It ...

Things I'm Watching For In 2024
1. New BTC All-Time highs The classic 4-year cycle predicts Bitcoin will make a new all-time high at the end of 2024. Some people are expecting it could happen earlier, perhaps even the first half of the year, and I agree; a lot of macroeconomic indicators are suggesting that. With Gold currently testing all-time highs and set to break higher, and the Nasdaq and global stocks already at all-time highs, there’s no reason for Bitcoin not to catch up shortly.The counterargument is that there cou...
