We’ve Profited from Crypto Volatility – Now Let’s Profit from Crypto Stability
Crypto volatility is the admission price we pay for the opportunity to experience life-changing returns.
If you’ve been following me long enough, you probably know that line by heart…
And it’s true. Volatility is how you make 10x, 100x, and even 1,000x returns.
Take bitcoin, for example.
Since 2016, I’ve done everything in my power to spread the word that bitcoin – and its underlying blockchain technology – would one day rule the investment world.
But it wasn’t an easy journey.
Along the way from $428 to $72,000, bitcoin has dropped 82% once… 50% four times… 40% two times… and 30% eight times.
Yet – no matter what price you paid for bitcoin since I recommended it – the longest you’ve had to wait to double your money was four years.
Another example is one of my Hall of Fame winners – a token called Waves (WAVES).
I first recommended Waves in June 2017 at $4. It’s a smart contract platform that allows users to build and develop decentralized finance (DeFi) apps.
I was right on the DeFi trend, but the timing was awful, as I recommended Waves right before we entered the brutal 2018–2020 Crypto Winter.
For years, Waves was a laggard in our portfolio. It barely budged from its lows.
But by mid-2021, it had rocketed to its previous all-time high of $36.84 – only to crash to as low as $8.40 in January 2022.
It then surged 593% to a new all-time high of $58.25 in March 2022. That’s when I initiated a sell alert.
Those who bought Waves in June 2017 saw gains of up to 1,205%. That’s enough to turn every $1,000 into over $13,000. But the volatility was agonizing.
Was it worth it? Sure. Most Wall Street money managers would give up their firstborn to 13x their money in less than five years.
Friends, the rollercoaster ride to 13x gains in crypto will nauseate even the most seasoned North Sea sailor.
So I can’t blame those of you who may keep a bottle of Pepto-Bismol nearby when you’re ready to look at your portfolio.
Here’s the thing…
Although crypto is still a relatively young asset class… It’s starting to mature. And with maturity comes stability.
We’ll still have plenty of opportunities to reap huge profits from the volatility inherent in crypto. But I also want to position you to profit when this asset matures.
