Thank you. I am in my pleb year and the emotions are very overwhelming. Wrapping my understanding around a whole technology ecosphere of crypto. And then trying to explain to my loved ones a concept for profoundly game changing, when even I do not understand the fundamentals. First principles.
Thank you again for providing me with the strentgh to learn and more importantly share. Passing on to those close to us so they are not left behind. So they may pass it on to their friends.

hmm… on that topic of people dying with their seed phrase not written down and the money goes with them to the grave.
What if, if crypto is widely adopted and since there will only ever be 21 million bitcoins, everyone who has bitcoins dies without giving access to their seed phrase essentially 21 million coins carried to their graves… does the coin become extinct?
Granted it might take decades or centuries depending on the coin and global catastrophe and what not.

I came here to learn how to invest after listening to a guy on radio talk about the importance of investing and how he made $460,000 in 4 months from $160k, somehow this video has helped shed light on some things, but I'm still confused, I'm a newbie and I'm open to ideas.

Nice Videos! Very engaging from beginning to the END. I'm 50 years old, am working on
my retirement plan that will soon come up, my dream is to accumulate a million dollar portfolio within 12-18 months before my retirement which I have currentily saved a capital of $10,000 for it, please can someone tell me how to go about it?

Quite interesting, you have mentioned in one of your videos that u only invested on btc, Eth and Chainlink and I did not hear about Solana…

What if someone steal your personal data through virus or somethings like that and threaten to reveal everything unless you send him bitcoin. You cant find him. So it is dangerous when use like that, can that be regulated?

The key to big returns is not big moving stocks. It's managing risk in relationship to reward. Having the correct size on and turning your edge as many times as necessary to reach your goal. That holds true from long term investing to day trading

I wouldn’t send people to YouTube to learn about crypto. Most influencers don’t know what they are talking about, and are just sponsored to promote different coins and leverage exchanges that make people lose money.

It won't be "unceasable" when there's only one world government, which has been the most openly named major agenda of most all world leaders for the last 50-75 years.

To answer the question about volatility, just use stable coins pegged to the dollar .to pay people.

Wow I am new to crypto but have been researching it since may , I have had these complicated conversations with family and friends ,and the way you explain it was great and simple to follow thank you for all your hard work .

I am surprised of Tom here.
I dont see any value as a currency,
How many pizzas can i buy with a Bitcoin in one month?
What is the regulation?
Will China and USA allow?
What about the environment?
The day that elon musk says no to criptos, everybody Will colapse.
Only narrative, block chain? Of course It is valuable but criptos no.
From my point of view Tom is wrong in this one.
Great Risk asset with tappering and fed deleting stimulous..

Besides that thank you for your often great work.

Big fan. Good Intro. Great explanations. However, you’re not using some terms correctly. Solana is a first layer. Polygon Matic is not a fork of ETH. It’s a defi second layer solution on ETH.
