Why I Did It and Why I’m About to Do Something Similar Again

The Day I Gave Away $29 Million in Bitcoin
On October 26, 2017, I did something so outrageous… so unbelievable… that even my closest friends thought I had lost my mind.
I went on air, live, in front of 100,000 viewers… and announced I was giving away $1 million worth of bitcoin.
That’s right. I didn’t sell it. I didn’t trade it. I gave it away to anyone who subscribed to my newsletter. For free.
It was unprecedented. You could even call it historic. To my knowledge, no one had ever given away that much bitcoin before – and certainly not since.
At the time, bitcoin was trading around $3,920. So we had to purchase 255 bitcoins to distribute to new subscribers. (They’d get 0.1 BTC for joining.)
Still, people laughed. Others said it was a scam. Some even warned me I’d go bankrupt by giving away that much bitcoin.
But I knew exactly what I was doing.
I understood that to change lives, you’ve got to shock people out of their comfort zones. And nothing wakes people up like handing them a piece of the future… Before the rest of the world even realizes what it is.
Since that giveaway, bitcoin has been up as much as 3,071%. Today, those 255 bitcoins are worth $29 million.
And each 0.1 BTC we gave away during the live event – worth about $390 at the time to anyone who subscribed – is valued today at $11,400.
Even if they never followed one of my recommendations – and even if they cancelled their memberships after signing up – my subscribers had a chance to 30x their money from the bitcoin I gave them.
To put that gain in perspective, you would have had to own the S&P 500 for more than 30 years to see a similar gain.
That wasn’t the only life-changing gain I gave my readers.
Over the past decade, I’ve picked 27 coins that jumped at least 1,000%, including gains of as much as 14,927%, 150,000%, and 43,331% on Binance Coin (BNB), Neo (NEO), and Ethereum (ETH), respectively.
That type of performance is the reason a panel of 130,000 independent analysts voted me the most trusted crypto expert.
Friends, I’m not telling you this to brag. I’m telling you this because for the first time since 2016, I’m ready to hand you a similar opportunity.
Teeka: “I’ve waited six long years for this”
In 2019, two rare economic forces collided in the crypto market.
What happened next shocked everyone…
A handful of my readers turned $1,000 into $42,000… $55,000… even $715,000 — in less than two years.
I’ve been waiting six long years for those same conditions to return. And now, they’re about to collide again.
This October, I believe we’re standing at the opening of a brand-new Money Multiplier Window.
That’s why I’m hosting a free strategy session on Wednesday, September 24 at 8 p.m. ET.
During this event, I’ll share:
