If You’re Looking for Financial Freedom in 2025, Stocks Aren’t Enough

If You’re Looking for Financial Freedom in 2025, Stocks Aren’t Enough

When I first recommended bitcoin (BTC) in 2016, the entire crypto market was worth about $7 billion…

About 460 of the 500 companies on the 2016 Forbes Fortune 500 had larger market caps.

A year later, bitcoin rose 138%… from $420 per coin to about $1,000. By 2019, the value of the crypto market skyrocketed to about $130 billion… an increase of more than 1,700% in just three years.

Today, the entire crypto market is worth $3.6 trillion, with bitcoin alone making up nearly $2 trillion of that.

So, in about less than a decade, we saw an entire market sector go from being worth less than the average Fortune 500 company… To being worth more than the combined market caps of global credit card giants and Fortune 500 mainstays Visa (V), Mastercard (MA), and American Express (AXP).

If you want a visual representation of bitcoin’s rise, take a look at the chart below from the website Infinite Market Cap. As you can see, bitcoin is now among the top 10 in global assets by market cap.

In a bit over a decade, bitcoin has grown to have a higher market valuation than silver. And at one point in December – when it was trading over $108,000 – had a market cap higher than Amazon.

Here’s why I’m telling you this…

You’ve been told your entire life that if you want a shot at complete financial freedom, you have to invest for decades and decades in the stock market.

That’s Wall Street’s playbook, and it’s anything but true…

I know because I worked on Wall Street for more than 15 years. First as a vice president at Shearson Lehman Brothers. And then as head of my own private equity fund.

Wall Street promises you freedom… on its terms… and laughs all the way to the bank with your money. The ugly truth is that most people never reach the level of freedom they want… not even after decades of investing.

They’re stuck on Wall Street’s treadmill while being told financial freedom is just around the corner. If you want true financial freedom, you will need to think outside the box.

And for the past decade, I’ve been showing people how to think outside the “wealth-building” box by investing in cryptocurrency.
