The Crypto Lifer Story: Manifesting dreams into reality, a quest for financial freedom.
This incredible journey began as a dream. My first encounter with Mark Twain's biography as a child was magical; strangely prophetic since my parents named me after the celebrated author. Twain's work remains groundbreaking and timeless. Perhaps my favorite quote of his is that "I never let my schooling interfere with my education." This statement awakened in me the consciousness that valuable life lessons could be drawn from my environment rather than solely from formal education. Thus, I set out on a lifelong pursuit of self-improvement, seeking to develop myself spiritually, emotionally, physically, and financially. My unquenched thirst for knowledge compelled me to delve deep into books, films, and magazines on topics of financial development and self-improvement. I believed self-improvement of body and soul would translate into financial prosperity.
Fiat currencies across the world, after a study, revealed themselves as unsustainable. Countless examples in history exist of how central banks print money forever, ultimately devaluing it to nothing, resulting in hyperinflation and economic ruin for many still within the system. The realization that over a thousand fiat currencies have collapsed throughout history gave rise to the term "fiat graveyard." My foreknowledge of the Dollar's downward spiral compelled me to seek out alternatives. Unfortunately, gold and silver, while valuable, proved inconvenient and cumbersome, with the added risk of theft. But then came Bitcoin, a revolutionary innovation that caught my attention much later than I would have preferred, as it was already over $350. Nonetheless, my investigation into the network advanced my knowledge by remarkable strides, revealing similarities between gold and this amazing new asset. Bitcoin's convenience and security make it the perfect store of value, with a fixed supply and a mining difficulty that increases every year. My purchase of Bitcoin under $2,000 marked my first crypto move, one that would soon transform my life as I knew it.
The 2017 bull run catapulted me into the world of cryptocurrency. As new crypto coins were introduced daily, I realized that most would not last. Cardano became my first altcoin, skyrocketing to nearly one dollar and thirty cents from two cents. After researching previous market cycles in Bitcoin, my investments during the bear market paid off during the Bitcoin halving, occurring every four years and baked within the Bitcoin algorithm. I position myself before each Bitcoin halving, studying weekly charts searching for bullish divergence, and using my macro approach to investment. Financial gains form only a part of my reward, despite their profusion. Ultimately, my eagerness to lend a helping hand has enabled people from all walks of life to achieve financial independence, setting them on a path of self-discovery and growth. My journey has led me to inspire others in their endeavors, achieved through the establishment of a Youtube channel and Trading School on Discord to share my technical analysis knowledge, abilities, and approach. With over 1100 days of Live Streaming, the meaningful testimonies of my valued students continue to humble and inspire me, driving me to relentlessly work harder for my trading family.
