Your guide to the crypto markets I show you how to make money online and invest the profits

WHAT DID I STRUGGLE WITH WHEN I FIRST STARTED INVESTING IN CRYPTO?

» HOW TO EXCHANGE MY MONEY FOR CRYPTO: My bank accounts where temperamental, exchanges would cut down, I was unsure about KYC…

» HOW TO BUY ALT COINS: I would watch videos about multiple coins but I would never know how invest in them

» RESEARCHING ALT COINS: It would take me forever and I would struggle to have true conviction and understanding of what I was buying

» WHEN TO BUY AND WHEN TO TAKE PROFITS: I would ask in Telegram groups for other people's opinions and I would feel nervous when charts would dip
» MONEY MANAGEMENT: I would never have enough money to buy the dip and I would be so confused how influencers had the money to buy so many coins

» DECENTRALISED EXCHANGES: I didn't know what one was: I have questions like, what if my transactions got stuck and how did I know if my money was safe and how to avoid scams

You might have had or you may go through a similar experience.

SETTING UP A CRYPTO EXCHANGE
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?
Centralized Exchanges (CEX)
Centralized exchanges are platforms where people buy and sell cryptocurrencies.

Benefits:
» User friendly
» Easy access to get crypto

Downfalls:
» Tax
» You're not in control of your crypto

Tutorial later in this course
Decentralized Exchanges (DEX)
Decentralized exchanges (DEX) allow users to trade cryptocurrencies directly with each other using smart contracts, without an intermediary, offering more privacy and control.

Benefits:
» Seriously early tokens
» Fast and easy to use

Downfall:
» It's the Wild West, you can get hacked, rugged, honey pot

Tutorial later in this course
Do I need both?
You don't actually need both to have success in crypto.
Some projects on CEX do very well.

But DEX offer a very good opportunity get into projects and experience crypto.

Risks are very high either way.
CEX - as we have seen - are not always safe.
But DEX are no fairy tail story either, you can lose everything!
GUIDE TO NAVIGATE CRYPTOCURRENCY EXCHANGES
(TIMESTAMP - 9.15)
Part 1
Centralized Exchanges (CEX)
  1. Choosing an Exchange:
  • Research and select a reputable centralized exchange (like Coinbase, Binance, or Kraken).
  • Consider factors like security, fees, available cryptocurrencies, and user interface.

BEST EXCHANGES

TIP: Not every coin is on each exchange, I personally sign up to all exchanges as it means I always have fast access to investing into coins.

For example: UPO and NAKA both have done more than a 10x… THIS YEAR. They were on KuCoin but not Coinbase or Binance.
That's why to make it easier click the names; I just joined all of the ones below:

STEP 1

Get a VPN and buy the pro version - Don't be tight

If you want to be a millionaire you must make sure your investments are safe

​Click here​ for 65% off the BEST VPN for crypto: ​NordVPN Discount​
STEP 2

Join each exchange and KYC; i use BYBIT / BITFLEX for daily trading and the others for spot - Takes 20 mins just do it and get it out the way.

For UK based traders i have attached the best one that i know at the moment below

» ​Bitflex​ - Up to $38,000 in bonuses

» ​Coinbase​ - 1st most trusted exchange

» ​Binance​ - 2nd most trusted exchange

» ​Bitget​ - Very low fees

» ​BYBIT​ - New coins & $30,000 in bonuses

» ​KUCOIN​ - New coins & $10,000 bonuses

» ​phemex​ - Best for UK - $5,000 bonuses

Bonus: MetaMask wallet.. yes within MetaMask you can buy crypto with Applepay

Remember: Join all of these exchanges, you might only deposit into one at first but in the future you'll need them to access tokens that may not be on them - You simply deposit the crypto you brought from one exchange to the other - If any exchange isn't available in your area just move to the next.

Creating an Account:
  • Visit the chosen exchange's website and sign up.
  • Provide necessary personal details as required.
  1. Verifying Your Account (KYC Process):
  • Complete the Know Your Customer (KYC) process, which may require uploading identification documents.
  • This step is crucial for compliance and security reasons.

    FAQ: Do I need to KYC and why?

    Yes, you need to KYC for most crypto exchanges, especially in the U.K. and America. This helps to reduce the amount of scammers but also means your trading is likely going to be taxed. We'll discuss more about how to keep up to date with tax for your country's exchange soon, so stay TUNED.
  1. Securing Your Account:
  • Set up two-factor authentication (2FA) for added security.
  • Use a strong, unique password and consider using a password manager.
  1. Depositing Funds:
  • Choose a deposit method (bank transfer, credit card, etc.).
  • Follow the instructions to deposit fiat currency or cryptocurrency into your exchange account.
  • Don't be afraid to shop around. Sometimes you bank might be the issue, just as you have to have a few crypto exchanges you may have to get a new bank account thats more crypto friendly

PS. consider having one exchange to buy crypto with from your bank and others you just deposit crypto with
  1. Navigating the Trading Interface:
  • Familiarize yourself with the exchange's trading interface.
  • Understand the difference between market orders, limit orders, and other trading options.
  1. Buying and Selling Cryptocurrencies:
  • Select the cryptocurrency pair you want to trade.
  • Enter the amount you wish to buy or sell and execute the transaction.
  1. Withdrawing Funds:
  • Navigate to the withdrawal section.
  • Choose the withdrawal method and follow the instructions to withdraw your funds or transfer your crypto to a personal wallet.
Part 2: Decentralised Exchanges (DEX)
  1. Choosing a DEX:
  • Select a decentralized exchange like Uniswap, SushiSwap, or PancakeSwap.
  • Research its compatibility with different wallets and tokens.
  1. Connecting Your Wallet:
    Step-by-Step Guide to Setting Up MetaMask Below
Step 1: Download MetaMask
  1. Go to MetaMask's Official Website: Visit ​MetaMask.io​
  1. Choose the Correct Version: Select the MetaMask version suitable for your browser (Chrome, Firefox, Brave, or Edge) or mobile device (iOS or Android).
  1. Download and Install: Click "Download" and follow the instructions to install the MetaMask extension on your browser or the app on your mobile device.
Step 2: Create a New Wallet
  1. Open MetaMask: Click on the MetaMask icon in your browser's extension area or open the app on your mobile device.
  1. Choose to Create a New Wallet: If you're a new user, select the option to create a new wallet.
  1. Agree to Terms: You'll be asked to agree to MetaMask's terms and privacy policy.
Step 3: Set Up a Password
  1. Create a Strong Password: Enter a secure and memorable password.
  1. Confirm Your Password: Re-enter the password to ensure it's correct.
Step 4: Secure Your Secret Recovery Phrase (Seed Phrase)
  1. Reveal Your Secret Recovery Phrase: MetaMask will generate a 12-word secret recovery phrase. Click to reveal it.
  1. Write Down the Phrase: Write the phrase down on paper in the exact order shown and store it in a safe and secure place. This phrase is critical for wallet recovery and should never be shared or stored digitally where it could be hacked.
  1. The Importance Of Your Phrase: if you lose your phrase, you will lose all access to your wallet. There is no way around this! Keeping your phrase safe is a priority.
Step 5: Confirm Your Secret Recovery Phrase
  1. Verify Your Recovery Phrase: To ensure you've recorded it correctly, MetaMask will ask you to input the secret recovery phrase in the order it was provided.
  1. Complete the Setup: Once you've correctly entered the phrase, your wallet setup is complete.
Step 6: Accessing and Using Your Wallet
  1. View Your Wallet: You can now see your wallet interface, including your account address (public key).
  1. Start Using MetaMask: You can use MetaMask to store Ethereum and ERC-20 tokens, interact with decentralized applications (DApps), send and receive tokens, and more.
Bonus Tips:
  • Security: Always keep your secret recovery phrase private. If someone gains access to it, they can access your wallet.
  • Regular Backups: It's a good idea to keep multiple backups of your secret recovery phrase in different secure locations.
  • Browser Safety: Be aware of the extensions and websites you use with MetaMask to avoid phishing attacks.
Next, Connect your Metamask to your chosen DEX (Timestamp 42.20)
  1. Understanding the Interface:
  • Familiarize yourself with the DEX's interface, focusing on the swap and liquidity pool features.
  • Understand the pricing mechanism, which is often based on liquidity pools rather than order books.

  1. Trading Cryptocurrencies:
  • Select the tokens you want to swap. ( Soon i will explain token research tools and strategy )

  • If interested in providing liquidity, navigate to the liquidity section.
  • Choose the token pair, add the specified amount to the liquidity pool, and understand the associated risks and rewards.
  1. Completing Transactions:
  • Confirm all transactions through your connected wallet.
  • Be aware of network fees (gas) which can vary significantly.
Bonus Tips
  • Stay Informed: Regularly update yourself on the exchange’s features and security practices.
  • Practice Caution: Start with small transactions to become comfortable with the process.
  • Security First: Always prioritize the security of your funds and personal information.

    Fee Structure Explanation:
  • Detail the types of fees users might encounter, such as trading fees, withdrawal fees, and network fees (especially for DEXs).
  • Explain how fees can vary based on transaction size, frequency, and chosen payment methods.
You don't have to be a genius trader with 5 screens, saying big words to trade.

For example…
You would think this is the martial arts master champion of the world, right?


Instead it's this guy…
It's no different in business: Wall Street traders with 4 degrees and years of experience sometimes make less gains than a kid living in his basement locked into the crypto world.

It's just about getting started… You'll make mistakes, maybe lose money… But you'll learn a lot!
  1. Market Analysis Tools:
Let's start with the basics - the most important tool you'll need for market analysis is trading view.
Join for FREE here:
​https://www.tradingview.com/pricing/?share_your_love=tyrellewm​

I've also taken the watch list from my crypto portfolio which you can copy here:

​https://www.tradingview.com/watchlists/116564231/​

Now that you're signed up to trading view, let's get started with how I like to read charts and what indicators I use.

Moving Averages (MA):
  • Simple Moving Average (SMA): Calculates the average price of a security over a specific number of days.
  • Exponential Moving Average (EMA): Similar to SMA but gives more weight to recent prices, making it more responsive to new information.
  1. Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD):
  • Shows the relationship between two moving averages of a security’s price.
  • Useful for identifying trend direction, momentum, and potential reversals.
  1. Relative Strength Index (RSI):
  • Measures the magnitude of recent price changes to evaluate overbought or oversold conditions.
  • Ranges from 0 to 100; typically, readings above 70 indicate overbought, and below 30 indicate oversold.
  1. Fibonacci Retracement:
  • Uses horizontal lines to indicate areas of support or resistance at the key Fibonacci levels before the price continues in the original direction.
  • These levels are 23.6%, 38.2%, 61.8% and 100% retracement.
  1. Volume:
  • Not a technical indicator in the traditional sense, but it's crucial for confirming trends.
  • High volume indicates a high interest in a security at its current price.
5. Ichimoku Cloud:
  • Offers more data points, which provide a more comprehensive look at resistance and support levels.
  • Consists of five lines, each giving information about the price action.
6. Market Cypher B
  • Market Cypher is an amazing tool not just for large market caps - but recently I have found smaller marketcap strategies that work too
How I Use Trading Indicators
  • Combine Indicators: Use multiple indicators to confirm trends and signals.
  • Understand the Context: Indicators should be used in conjunction with market analysis and other forms of research.
  • Customize Settings: Tailor the settings of indicators to fit your trading strategy and time frame.
  • Practice: Use a demo account to familiarize yourself with how these indicators work in real-time before applying them in live trading.

    Placing your first trade... Let's do it together!

    First… We're going to plan our trade.

    WARNING - PUT YOUR GROWN MAN HAT ON!

    Before we get into this, let's start off by:

    Devise a Cut Your Loses Limit:
  • Determine a maximum allowable drop in your trading portfolio (drawdown) and adjust your strategy or pause trading if this limit is reached.

    TIP: Understand the poker stakes strategy

    Read this:
    ​https://www.cardschat.com/poker/strategy/poker-bankroll-management/​

    Example: I'm going to take $20 trades till my account hits $5,000 but no matter what whatever you put in be prepared to lose it all... Similar to taking your bank card to a casino. Having $50k in your wallet and you work a 9-5 at McDonalds - maybe pull a bit out and use it to increase your active income.
  1. How I Plan My Trades:
  • Set Stop-Loss and Take-Profit Orders: Set predefined level where you will automatically close your position at a profit
  • Stop-Loss Orders: Set a predefined price level where your position will automatically close to limit potential losses.
  • Take-Profit Orders: Specify a price at which to exit a profitable trade to lock in gains.
  1. Risk-Reward Ratio:
  • Before entering a trade, evaluate the potential reward relative to the risk. Common ratios include 2:1 or 3:1, where the potential profit is double or triple the potential loss.
  1. Position Sizing:
  • Determine the size of each trade based on a percentage of your total trading capital. A common rule is not to risk more than 1-2% of your capital on a single trade.
  1. Diversification:
  • Spread your investments across different assets or markets to reduce exposure to any single risk.

    Personally, I loop profits from my trading account, into my longer term holds. Sometimes within platforms like Bybit, I will even use my trading profited spot holdings as collateral of my trades.

    Meaning I can use the same amount of ETH I'm holding as USDT for my longs but if I lose, I will lose the ETH so you have to be carful and prepared. That's why I don't use my longer term holdings of ETH.
My portfolio is split between
» Personal Cash Holdings: Two years survival expenses

» Business Cash Holdings: Payroll etc.

» Trading Account + Sub Accounts: Never have a lot of money in your trading... you will trade with it

» Long Term Holdings: Cold/hot wallets

» Altcoin Holdings: Split between different narratives and Market caps - D.W I explain this later in the course

» Private Sales: Long term very early start up investments… Yes, also covered later in the course

» Equity Deals & Buying Other Businesses

TIP: When I got started it was just my business money and a trading account - for you, it could be a job and your trading account.
D.W we all start somewhere and to be honest, it's more stressful having loads of stuff. It all depends on your personal goals and risk tolerance. Always consult a financial advisor for advice on your personal finances.

At different stages of the market my portfolio varies from my trading accuont, altcoins and NFTS.
During the market cycles I will move more into NFTs, private sale and cash.

I find using a portfolio manager like: ​https://coinstats.app/​ very helpful to see where my portfolio is weighed out, I'll also use the market cycles chart from this course to see when it is time to start taking profits.

One lesson that I learned over a few cycles is there is never a perfect time to take profits, averaging in and averaging out has helped me a tonne.
Here is my portfolio list and the narratives i know will perform this cycle - I made this in august in a collaboration with Coach K who has already made 3.5m from this list this cycle

YES…. There is still an opportunity for all the coins in this portfolio now

Use the strategies from the trading strategy to find good entries on these coins.

Steps To Use Leverage Correctly
  • While leverage can amplify gains, it also increases potential losses. Use leverage judiciously, especially if you're a beginner.

    Leverage is powerful if you understand how to use it.

    But if you don't, you'll lose money as fast as you wish to make it.
Leverage Calculation
  1. Determine the Leverage Ratio:
  • The leverage ratio shows how much more you can trade relative to your actual investment.
  • For instance, a 10:1 leverage ratio means you can trade $10 for every $1 of your own capital.
  1. Calculate the Total Position Size:
  • Multiply your own capital by the leverage ratio.
  • Total Position Size = Your Capital × Leverage Ratio
  1. Understand the Implications:
  • Higher leverage can amplify profits but also magnifies losses.
  • The margin requirement (the amount you need to open a position) will be your capital.
Example:
Suppose you have $1,000 and you use a leverage of 10:1.
  1. Calculate Your Total Position Size:
  • Your Capital = $1,000
  • Leverage Ratio = 10:1
  • Total Position Size = $1,000 × 10 = $10,000
  1. Trading Scenario:
  • You open a leveraged position with your $10,000.
  • If the market moves in your favor by 5%, the gain is on the total position size.
  • Profit = 5% of $10,000 = $500
  1. Comparison Without Leverage:
  • Without leverage, a 5% gain on your $1,000 capital would have been just $50.
  • Profit = 5% of $1,000 = $50
Key Points to Remember
  • Margin Call: If the market moves against you, you might face a margin call, requiring you to add more funds to keep the position open.
  • Risk Management: It’s essential to use stop-loss orders to limit potential losses, especially when trading with leverage.
  • Sensible Use: Leverage should be used cautiously, especially for beginners. High leverage can lead to large losses quickly.
This example shows how leverage can increase both potential profits and risks. It's crucial to understand these dynamics and apply leverage wisely in your trading strategy.
Regularly Review and Adjust Your Strategy
Here is a little trick from my E-commerce days:

Advertising, like trading, is a strategy

But.. when money gets involved it can become hard to follow a startegy. You can spend hours going through YouTube, watching one strategy that has made someone $100 per day.

Then, you try it, It doesn't work…. then what? You wing it…

…fail again!

I've been there and it's not because the YouTube strategy doesn't work. Yes, the dude is probably talking ass but… that's not it.

I'll tell you what it is, you didn't test and optimize the strategy. Like a scientist, you must test the strategy, keep all the variables the same and judge each strategy.

Here is an example:

Say I want to try money flow cross overs on ​market cipher​. Personally, I would use a small amount of money for me… let's say $10,000. Then I test this as a fixed... no variable changes strategy.

MY TRADING STRATEGY
» Deposit 10k

» 2 Months

» Time Frame Money flow cross 1-4 Hour cross overs

» Risk 2% Max

» Risk / Reward ratio 3+

» Cut test - 30% Account Loss

» Confirmations before taking the trade: Looking for money flow cross overs where we have follow crossed taking the trade on the next confirmed candle. Also looking for confirmed support and resistance

This gives me very clear, do's and dont's - of course. I can add just to this strategy alone, maybe it's not the money flow cross over that's the problem.

Maybe:
» It's the time frame

» I'm front running the trade

» I need to work on making sure I'm marking support and resistance correctly

» I'll continue to refrain and test the strategy along with personal and mental development towards trading

Of course… If you want to trade for fun, or you could just have a strategy to long in the bull run when things go up in crypto everything is the same - you can have a simple strategy or get really detailed with it.

But whatever you do at least have some kind of stragy and your way ahead of most people.
Implement a Trailing Stop-Loss:
  • A trailing stop-loss adjusts the stop price at a fixed percent or dollar amount below the market price, locking in profits as the price rises.
Understand Market Conditions:
  • Different market conditions (volatile, trending, range-bound) require different trading strategies, adapt your approach accordingly.

    Questions to ask yourself:

    Is the current market bullish or bearish? What's the long month price range high/low?
Emotional Discipline:
QUIZ
» Whens the last time you have had cognitive bias?

» Personally - I experience a ton of bias especially when I have trades open I look for other trades on YouTube who are also in a similar trade to gain confidence.
Continuous Education:
Backtesting and Paper Trading:
  • Before implementing new strategies, backtest them using historical data. Practice with paper trading (simulated trading) to evaluate their effectiveness without risking real money.

    Personally I got started off at college with paper trading but I didn't find it that appealing as like Mike Tyson says: 'Everything changes when you get punched in the face'.

    When you trade with real money, it's a completely different ball game.
Contingency Planning:
  • It's a science test… You have to be prepared to react to both scenarios.

    Always ask yourself, what if I'm wrong?
Quite often I will draft out different scenarios ahead of time and use the trading view long and short plans to plan out the potential scenarios.
Hedging Strategies (Advanced):
  • If you hold long-term investments, consider using protective puts or other hedging strategies to limit downside risk.
You can hedge your long term HODL bags with leveraged positions or even your swing positions with short term trades in the opposite positions.
This worked amazingly well recently with MYRIA Games.

Recently, MYRIA Games launched on BYBIT - which I predicted would happen as we close upon getting to the same market cap as GALA.

Currently, I hold 24 Nodes which would currently cost you over $130k and earns about $13k Per Month worth of MYRIA token paid out daily.
Understanding Liquidity:
Picture this…
You get a 10x on some degen meme coin… Your 5k investment is now worth $50k and you've jumped two tax brackets in one week.

You're telling your parents all about how you always knew you'd be rich and it's time everyone starts taking you more seriously.
You're late to work... the boss asks you why you're late

You say: "Watch ya bumbaclart mouth rude boy... you're lucky I'm even here…"

You check your wallet to take some money out to throw into another meme coin some guy on YouTube said… Then… What???

30% price impact…

Transaction rejected…

WTH is going on… you jump on Telegram to find everyone acting normal, yet you cant take your profits

LIQUIIDTY….!

What Is Liquidity?
Liquidity in the crypto markets refers to how easily and quickly a cryptocurrency can be bought or sold at a stable price. A market is considered liquid if you can quickly trade a significant amount of cryptocurrency with minimal price impact.
Here's a simple example to illustrate this concept:
Imagine you're at a fruit market where there are many stalls selling apples. If there are plenty of buyers and sellers, and you can buy or sell a large number of apples without significantly affecting the price of apples, that market is considered to have high liquidity. In this scenario, you can easily enter or exit your apple position (i.e., buy or sell apples) at a consistent price.
Now, apply this to the crypto market. If you're looking to buy or sell a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin, a liquid market would allow you to do so quickly and at a stable price. This means there are enough people willing to buy or sell at any given time, so your transaction doesn't drastically move the market price. If the market is illiquid, a large transaction could significantly impact the price, either spiking it up if you're buying a lot or crashing it down if you're selling a lot.
So, in essence, liquidity in crypto markets is about how easily you can trade a cryptocurrency without causing major price fluctuations, similar to buying or selling apples in a busy, well-stocked fruit market.
Let's head over to DEX Tools and look for some pairs to see the difference in liquidity:
​https://www.dextools.io/app/en/pairs​

Beam as you can see has over $8M of liquidity which means the buying and selling of a thousand dollars isn't going to give a FTX style red candle.
SHOPX on the other hand only has 170k Liquidity, which for it's market cap isn't bad. But you know that if you make a large purchase of if you had a large bag to sell.. It's going to get volatile.
Here's a bonus tip… different exchanges and DEX exchanges have deifferent levels of liquidity you can see this below:

Let's use $NAKA for example… if your looking for the best liquidity to make a big buy / sell of the token, which exchange would you buy?
Alternatively, for decentralised exchange you can use 1inch exchange which is a DEX aggregator. imagine them as a third party which will shop around and get you the best price on a token.

1inch Network

1inch Network | Leading high capital efficient DeFi protocols

The 1inch Network unites decentralized protocols whose synergy enables the most lucrative, fastest and protected operations in the DeFi space.


Security Best Practices:
What do pirates do?… They bury their treasure
Would you ever walk around London at 1am wearing your whole bank balance on your neck?

I wouldn't….

That's the same as going around the decentralised crypto world with all your money in one wallet, or trading crypto with all your money on one exchange.

It's just not worth the risk!

Personally, I spread my money across multiple crypto exchanges, hot wallets and cold wallets to ensure I'm safe and also give me quick access to cash to invest.
When I made my first $10k in crypto
It would look like this:

$2K in my trading account on BYBIT (ADD LINK)
$2k crypto holds in my Ledger
$4k in early ICO investments
$2k in USDT on a metamask for an Alt coin dip

- When you first get started all your eggs might be on one basket on one exchange and that's cool I've been there too, but it's important to have HARD lines you have planned in advance where you know once you have X amount it's time to keep it safe.
Regulatory Compliance and Legal Aspects
Crypto is unique in the fact that it can be all things!

Crypto can be used as financial transactions, real estate, technology and more… Meaning regulators have struggled for years to find the correct way to keep it safe and usable.

This means regulations change A LOT.

I use blogs and consult legal advisors like ​https://silklegal.com/​
Here is an example of the legalities for different regions which you could be in:

​https://www.investopedia.com/cryptocurrency-regulations-around-the-world-5202122​

If I'm not respected by my country, I simply move.

To me freedom is more important than money, and having the ability to do what I want without being told what to do has always been a dream.
I made this happen by getting a Dubai residency, if you can afford it I definitely would consider giving it a go.

Personally, I used an agent here is her number, if you want to learn more just Whatsapp it:

I recommend adding some ETH to your wallet so you can get started trading on Uniswap.

Remember you always need to have the related token to your chosen chain to trade on in your wallet, if you require a gas fee to trade.
MY $1,000,000 Mistake… (3:36:45 TIMESTAMPS)
I also experienced a few of the feelings discussed earlier.

There was a time when my portfolio was unbalanced and some areas of the market were pumping but not the tokens I had. Launchpad tokens would be up 10x, gaming tokens would pump and I would feel like I'm chasing the pump.

There were times where I haven't set stop losses on trades and I've been liquidated, other times where I've made emotionally biased decisions.

I found one of the biggest things that has helped me stay away from those mistakes is having a strategy and a plan before entering.

Knowing where I am in the cycle, and creating scenarios in the market where I'll enter and where I'll take profit.

This is called market cycles.

Now knowing about market cycles and actually executing a plan based on market cycles are two different things.

The BIG Mistake (3:50:02 TIMESTAMP)
Diversifying Your Portfolio
When I started I was over diversified and when I was balls deep, I was under diversified. Balance is key in this game and understanding when to bet big and when to move with the cycles this program will show you.
Setting Stop Losses and Taking Profits
It's not about who has the most money… it's about who survives - everyday millions are wiped out from the markets because someone went to sleep with no stop loss.

Understanding and Using NFTs (3:50:58)
Definition of NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens)
Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) are like the digital snowflakes of the art world - no two are exactly alike. They're unique digital assets verified using blockchain technology, which is like a digital ledger but way cooler and more complicated. While cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are like the dollars in your wallet, interchangeable and identical, NFTs are more like that one-of-a-kind, slightly quirky trading card you refuse to swap because there's nothing quite like it.
Key Concepts of NFTs
  1. Uniqueness: Each NFT is as unique as your fingerprint or your ability to remember movie quotes. They're digital one-offs.
  1. Ownership and Provenance: Owning an NFT is like having a deed for a piece of digital land. It's proof that you own a piece of the internet, and you can trace its history back through the blockchain, just like you can trace your family tree, but without the awkward family reunions.
  1. Interoperability: This fancy word means you can trade NFTs across different platforms. It’s like being able to use your Playstation controller on an Xbox, but don't get your hopes up; that's not happening.
  1. Royalties: When an NFT is resold, the original creator gets a cut. It's like getting a dollar every time your sibling uses the slang word you invented.
  1. Digital Scarcity: NFTs bring the concept of rarity to digital items. They're like digital diamonds, rare and sought after, but please don't try to propose with one.
Websites for Exploring NFTs
  1. OpenSea (​opensea.io​): The Amazon of NFTs, where you can browse an endless aisle of digital goods without getting sore feet.
  1. Rarible (​rarible.com​): It's a bit like an art fair where everyone's wearing VR headsets and trading futuristic collectibles.
  1. Foundation (​foundation.app​): This is where digital art meets VIP lounge, but without the dress code.
  1. SuperRare (​superrare.com​): As the name suggests, it's like finding a four-leaf clover in the digital world. Good luck!
  1. Nifty Gateway (​niftygateway.com​): They sell 'Nifties', which sound cute but are serious business in the NFT realm. It's like the boutique shop of the digital world.
In the world of NFTs, you’ll find everything from the Mona Lisa of memes to the Rembrandts of pixel art. Dive in, explore, and maybe even own a piece of digital history, or at least something that will make your friends say, "You paid how much for that?!"

Introduction to NFTs
  1. Definition and Concept:
  • NFTs are: unique digital assets verified using blockchain technology, representing ownership or proof of authenticity of a digital or physical asset.
  • NFTs can represent, like digital art, collectibles, music, videos, and more.
  1. How NFTs Work:
  • Overview of blockchain technology and its role in ensuring the uniqueness and ownership of NFTs.
  • Explain smart contracts and how they govern the terms of ownership and transferability of NFTs.
The NFT Ecosystem
  1. Marketplaces:
  • Introduce popular NFT marketplaces (e.g., OpenSea, Rarible, Foundation, SuperRare).
  • Discuss the differences between them, such as fees, types of NFTs, and blockchain compatibility.

OpenSea

OpenSea, the largest NFT marketplace

OpenSea is the world's first and largest web3 marketplace for NFTs and crypto collectibles. Browse, create, buy, sell, and auction NFTs using OpenSea today.

  1. Creating and Minting NFTs:
  • Step-by-step guide on how to create and mint an NFT, including choosing a platform and understanding gas fees.

    This is where the MONEYYYY is made in the NFT market.

    Minting NFTs and listing them is the reason we see such volume enter the NFT market.

    Imagine you buy a NFT for 0.1 ETH and instantly on market it's 5ETH.

    This happened to me with Sneaky Vampires... Yes, it's dead now.

    But I made a lot of money from these NFTS:

  • Install the Wallet: For MetaMask, you can install it as a browser extension on browsers like Chrome, Firefox, or Brave.
  • Create Your Wallet: Follow the instructions to create a new wallet. Remember to securely store your recovery phrase.
Step 2: Add Funds to Your Wallet

  • Transfer to Wallet: If you bought ETH on an exchange, transfer it to your digital wallet address.
Step 3: Connect Your Wallet to OpenSea
  • Visit OpenSea: Go to the OpenSea website.
  • Connect Wallet: Click on the wallet icon in the top right corner of OpenSea and select your wallet type (e.g., MetaMask). Follow the prompts to connect.

  • Select an NFT: Click on an NFT to view its details, including price, history, and properties.
Step 5: Purchase the NFT
  • Buy Now or Make an Offer: If the NFT is available for a fixed price, you can click "Buy Now" and proceed with the purchase. Alternatively, you can make an offer.
  • Confirm Transaction: Your wallet will prompt you to confirm the transaction, including any associated gas fees (transaction fees on the Ethereum network).
  • Complete the Purchase: Once you confirm and the transaction is processed, the NFT will be transferred to your wallet.
Step 6: View Your NFT
  • View in Wallet: Your purchased NFT will be visible in your OpenSea profile and in your connected wallet under the collectibles section.
Tips and Warnings
  • Gas Fees: Be aware of gas fees (transaction fees), which can vary based on network congestion.
  • Security: Always be cautious of scams and only buy from reputable sources. Never share your private keys or recovery phrase.
  • Research: Do some research on the NFTs you're interested in to understand their value and authenticity.
Investing and Research for NFTs
  1. My stupidly simple strategy

    Go to Google Trends
Look for a turn around in NFT traction.
When nobody is searching for NFTS and the volume is low, I go for blue chips like:
Pudgy Penguins, Bored Apes, Mutant apes
Gaming land also could be a narrative I'm looking at as we know games will do well, so presumably the land should follow:
Decentraland, Sandbox, Medieval Empires, Nakamoto Games - all have land to research into
When people start searching NFTS, this is when the degen comes out, I start following Twitter influencers, join trading groups and discord communities to find the latest ALPHA.
When that time comes, I will let you know who to follow and where I'm finding the next big thing on my Twitter here: ​https://twitter.com/thekryptoking_​
Let's talk about the Risks to Consider with nfts
NFTs are illiquid… remember when we spoke about liquidity, you need buyers and sellers to have a value for anything.
So what happens if nobody wants to buy your JPEG and they don't care about the roadmap.

Then, my friend you are a bag holder… whatever you thought this thing was worth it no longer is.
This is why I always say, 'I will never sell the top.. but I'll be close enough.'
Let's take a practical scenario using the Sneaky Vampires NFT collection I sniped:

defillama.com

NFT Collection - DefiLlama

Dashboards

Let's say I minted at 0.5 ETH and then sold at 2ETH.. I could have sold at 4ETH and maybe for a few weeks I'd be upset about not getting the full gains as my old bags continues to pump and I look at all the Twitter posts going viral with people making gains.

But just a few weeks later… we see a HUGE decline in value and now you can buy the same NFTS for 0.04ETH
….silence.
PRO TIP
  1. Portfolio Diversification:
  • Just like altcoins, private sales and trading - we diversify with gaming, L1, L2, Di-Fi, etc. (If you don't know what that is skip to the part of the course and learn.)
NFTs are the exact same, we must be diversified within the realm of NFTs. As mentioned earlier we have our blue chips, these are good simply because they're early and have a good community.
Then soon we will have our land, gaming NFTs and more.
As the narratives comes, I remind myself to keep diversified and NEVER… I repeat… EVER marry the bag.
Conclusion
You now know how to buy NFTs, where to buy them and the tools you need to spot the emerging trends when money starts flowing into these JPEGS.
Remember to save this video, and document so you can keep your research links and remind yourself of the NFT landscape when it's time.

This is the best company to reach out to.
Now you might be thinking… But I only have a small amount of money why would I want to learn about tax?

Well, my friend…

You got in this game because you wanted to make a lot of money, right?

To become the $100M version of yourself you must be that person before the money.
My lessons in crypto
This is no fairy tale... I've made and lost money in this game.

1. Never short the bull market

2. Stack Bitcoin… Seriously think about it imagine if you actually couldn't afford 1 BTC forever

3. Don't marry your bags, remember the cycles

Finally, I recommend looking up the laws of frequency, vibration, remember getting stressed out, emotional and jealous of other people can lead to you losing gains. What you put out is what you get back.

ICOs & Private sales
This is going to be my magnus opus… I will leave no stones unturned on this subject as it is the single most affective thing that changed my life when it came to crypto.
Before we get into the theory I want to show you the returns some funds have had in this space from private sales and ICOS... later I'll show you how Iget in as a normal guy.

CryptoRank

List of Upcoming IDO IEO and ICOs | CryptoRank.io

List of upcoming token generation events and token sales. Information about the date of the event, initial capitalization, total raise.

As you can see this is no joke, 100X on an investmnet is unheard of in normal peoples lives, we still think that buying a house after saving for 20 years and paying a 30 year morgage is the sensible thing to do.
Yet… right under our noses, people are making 100x their money in a few years... sometimes months.

What are private sales?
Crypto private sales and ICOs (Initial Coin Offerings) are methods used to raise funds in the cryptocurrency world, each with its own unique approach:
Crypto Private Sales
A private sale is an early stage of fundraising where a cryptocurrency project sells its tokens or coins to a select group of investors before a public offering.
Key Features:
  • Exclusive Access: Typically, only a limited number of accredited or institutional investors are invited.
  • Lower Price: Tokens are usually offered at a lower price compared to future public sales.
  • Higher Risk and Reward: Investors in private sales often face higher risks due to the project's early stage, but they also have the potential for higher rewards if the project succeeds.
  • Example: Imagine a new blockchain project offering its tokens to a group of venture capitalists and blockchain investment firms before the tokens are available to the general public.
ICOs (Initial Coin Offerings)
An ICO is a fundraising mechanism where new projects sell their underlying crypto tokens in exchange for Bitcoin, Ethereum, or other cryptocurrencies.
Key Features:
  • Open to Public: Unlike private sales, ICOs are typically open to the general public.
  • Early Investment Opportunity: Investors get a chance to buy tokens early in the hope that the project will be successful and the token value will increase.
  • Similar to IPOs: ICOs are akin to IPOs (Initial Public Offerings) in the stock market but are unregulated and come with higher risk.
  • Example: Ethereum's ICO in 2014 is a famous example, where early investors purchased Ether (ETH) tokens, which later became one of the most valuable cryptocurrencies.
Summary
In essence, crypto private sales are like early, exclusive previews for select investors, offering a chance to invest before the public at potentially lower prices. In contrast, ICOs are more like public grand openings, where the general public gets a chance to invest in a new crypto project. Both carry risks, particularly due to regulatory uncertainties and the nascent nature of many projects.
My Take Profit Strategy
» All eyes are on 2025 «

So far this cycle has played out, personally for the lowest price, Bitcoin is on track for the mid cap cycle. Next, I'm looking at smaller market caps and taking profits in 2025.

During this time, I will always take initial if I'm up more then 2x on a investment.
I will cycle my cash into the next goal, e.g. if I'm holding a 2x bag of a DOT, after BTC halving I'll take my initial out and move into a low market cap gaming project. Then, from the profits of the gaming projects I've invested into, I'll move to NFTs and private sales.

Bitcoin Market Cycles By The Krypto King for BITSTAMP:BTCUSD by tyrellewm

This is my bitcoin market cycle strategy - I am following these 4 Year cycles

FAQ: Do I ever fully exit the market?
One of the biggest lessons i've learned is its not cash that is king.. It's cashflow.
This is because cash devalues over time, and sitting on too much cash can sometimes be a problem... now I'm not talking about a few 100k.. but in the millions it becomes smart to keep investments into assets that bring yield. Like property, other businesses etc.

Think this, let's say someone is in a full time job while investing into crypto; starting with a $5k portfolio they manage to flip it to $20k.
Taking profits might not be enough to buy a house, but maybe using a portion of the profits to invest into higher education, or into a new business venture that can increase their monthly income makes sense.
I personally did this, when I first made money from crypto I invested it into Freelancer Fast Track, which now makes $100k+ Per Year in profit.

I have also spent money on courses and mentorship that has helped me learn more about sales, marketing and online business.

SUMMARY

2025 exiting the market moving into cashflow assets until then, cycling the profits.

RISK: This could all go wrong, I could be wrong… which is why high income skills are very important if investments fail.

This is why a portfolio becomes very important personally, I put a very small amount of my net worth into private sales and I have high income skills and cashflow businesses as a procession incase crypto goes wrong.

How do you get into ICOs (4:23:54 TIMESTAMPS)
Before getting involved in ICOs, I recommend giving psychology of money a read, it's an insightful guide on finance and will prepare you for what is to come.
Because of the risky nature of ICOs your risk lies the earlier you invest, however the reward tends to be higher.
If I'm in a seed round of a project that just had a roadmap and a few pictures to it's name, it's going to be risky but I'm going to get a lower valuation.
Let's say the project is already out, they have a load of users and they are just about to launch on a new launchpad…
This round is probably going to be the public round just before the ICO - this means it'll still be a risk. But I'll have a lot more confidence with the project and in turn I'll pay a higher price.
For example: let's take Sidus Heros which launched on paid network, Seedfi and some other launch pads.

CryptoRank

Sidus Heroes

Discover fundraising information: %crowdsale_type% %funding_rounds% return on investment (ROI), prices of investors, and funds raised by %name% %code%. Review the white paper, team, and financial overview.

From Seed price: 5.8x - Example: $10k in would be $58k

Private Round: 4.7x
Pre-Sale: 3.2x

ICO: 2.8x
Each of these rounds have their own vesting period - this is how long the tokens come to you, this is where the fun starts.
I see a lot of people take bad deals in crypto because they over value the technology and forget about a strategy.
Sometimes a project may launch in the bear market and be at a cheaper price than some private sale rounds. Infact Sidus, Kasta, Naka - are all coins which where at one stage cheaper than public sale and sometimes private sale on market to the public and are now 2x-26x up.
Imagine Nakamoto Games was cheaper than public sale and is now 26x higher.
This shows it's not always a good opportunity just because it's a private sale, and even if you don't get into a sale, it's not a problem buying on the markets either.
Building a private sale portfolio is exactly the same as a normal crypto portfolio - it's a diversification between narratives and timing the markets to make sure that there is still bullish momentum in the markets.
Time is also a factor: I didn't look at this when I first started with private sales, I forgot to set my time horizons with investing, and plan. For example: with MYRIA Games, this time, I planned in advanced that it is going to take a while before this investment plays out.
3 WAYS TO FIND AND GET INTO DEALS
  1. Launchpads
Launchpads like Paid Network, Seedfi, Polkastarter, Launchblock are crypto projects for which, if you buy their token, they give you access into their early stage projects.
2. Network
Networking directly with projects through Telegram or reaching out on Twitter and getting involved in the space can often open doors for new opportunities.
3. Private communities
Private DAO based communities can open allow you to co-invest with others depending on your location, if you would like to apply to join a community you can book in a application call below:
