#Crypto #Bitcoin
Good evening my beautiful people welcome back to another video. We are now seeing some green in the market today and we got a lot to talk about. A lot of amazing stuff has happened over the weekend and even today, we've been seeing some great things happening within the crypto markets themselves. We're getting some insane all coin rips happening right now, and we also saw bitcoin have an enormous green candle in this video.
We're going to be talking about why we are finally seeing some green back in the market, especially going into the month of march we're going to be talking about what is going on in the political atmosphere, because a lot of stuff is going on world war. Three is still sort of on the table. There's a lot of talks about what may happen next, especially with countries like ukraine and russia. Just a lot of terrible things happening in the world right now, but it does always make us feel just a little bit better when the markets seem a little green.
So before we get started with today's video, i do want to mention. Hopefully, you guys are hanging in there. This weekend was definitely a roller coaster. I know a lot is going on if you guys do appreciate these updates, and you like seeing the bit of green in the market like i do, don't forget to drop a like down below it, helps out these videos getting pushed out to other people and the More people that start to get back into crypto the higher the price goes and the more our bags climb to.
On top of that, we also had some pretty funny news happening over this weekend. That is something we're going to cover in this little live stream as well, and on top of that i did recently do that ted talk that i was mad stressing about over the past three four weeks, but we did knock that out. It was on crypto uh. It was actually talking about what the metaverse has in store for us next.
So a lot of you guys are asking me brian when's, that video gon na go up. It's gon na go up on ted's channel as soon as they finish, processing it uh going into the market update things are looking juicy we're up about 11.8 percent. Today. Market cap is closely approaching two.
Oh, oh just choked on my spit. It's closely approaching two trillion dollars and man. I there's so much. I want to talk about ethereum even approaching three thousand dollars check out that swing trade.
If anyone mentioned it or even entered that in our previous uh, live stream update as well uh before we do get started, though i do need to mention, we do have a little. Something we got to discuss seems like every video brian jung has now now got to talk to us about some type of advertisement or sponsor what a sellout, what a sellout i'll say it first nah i mean i do have to mention this. I have been using a product called titan uh. You guys are gon na see the ad soon once we knock that out, we'll go into the video straight away, uh, but actually my portfolio with them has been going up automatically so i'll.

Thank you so much for that, and thank you guys for enduring that as well. First of all, a lot of the questions that i'm seeing right now is brian.
Is this a bull trap? What in the world is going on, and can we continue to go higher anytime? We begin to see a lot of green candlesticks like this within the market. You do want to expect to see a little bit of cool down a little bit of pullback, but the rip that we saw today. This is pretty nuts we broke out of resistance levels that many people didn't expect for us to hit, not for a while, especially going into the month of march, with all the news that we've been seeing with uncertainty going on in the market. So it looks like right now we're really at a point where there is this divergence with how the market feels and the price action that we're seeing within the crypto markets.
And this is exactly what we've been talking about over the past few weeks. Just talking about how we may get to a point where not only all coins may decouple from bitcoin, but we would see all coins bitcoin st, like just any crypto on the market, decoupling from the overall investment sector uh and pretty much right now with seeing this. Just seeing 15 gains with bitcoin in a single day, a lot of us just did not expect it. I did not expect seeing this either, but this is crypto uh as soon as we get dumps, and we have bad days, you can expect there always to be a bit of greener pasture as well now before we get into some of the topics that i wanted To talk about, and some of the articles that we pulled out, we do need to mention uh, some all coins that are just going absolutely bananas, tara, luna, it's up 75. In the last seven days. Let me know in the chat, if you guys did end up buying tara luna up during the dip. You had a possibility within the last two three months, just having great price targets uh. If we pull this back even in the last three months, it's this whole zone right here, where you could have gone: tara, luna for even 44 dollars at one point before we start to spike back up and return back to similar levels of where we were before.
The pandemic or before the market started going down pandemic is still kind of around. I remember it was kind of bad back in december, but you know right now, at least in my area, the dmv, it's pretty chill when i got coven during december. I feel, like everyone got it during that time, but looking through guys man. This is definitely a sight to behold, and i know this is very exciting for a lot of people.
Another crypto that we've been mentioning a lot is just solana, i'm a huge fan of the nfts on this project. I know shaquille o'neal recently doubled down onto salon as well and uh. He did invest back into google during the day out of bing out of yahoo. Out of all the companies - and it looks like you know, he has a pretty good track record of having many different investments, so salon is actually back up to 99.
We were stuck within a channel way under that for a long time it was under 83 dollars. Even hitting seventy seven dollars at one point before in the market, and even with today, seeing a 17 spike in the market, just all coins getting flooded, it's nuts, it's crazy. It is amazing to see this within the market right now. Actually, uh big thing is, if you guys do, have positions that are you know that you've been holding for a while, and you are still seeing a little bit of life going back into your portfolio.
This is why we encourage, and - and you know, through our non-financial advice, they shouldn't be panic selling at the bottom. You shouldn't be freaking out whenever the market takes a turn, and you just want to have that money back when it's 50 of what you put in you want to be careful, you know you don't want to act on emotions, and you want to make sure that You navigate these markets with. You know somewhat a little bit of logistics behind your different moves, so even with our portfolio right now i just checked it, and i saw a huge recovery bounce just waiting on moments like this waiting on times within the market, and i know a lot of you Guys are, you know, scared that it's a bull trap and this could be another bounce to the bottom and yada ya. That is exactly what we heard before when bitcoin was actually approaching two of its different cycles. I remember seeing the exact same comments. So if we go into the all-time charts, it was this pump right here uh. It was a fake out that people assumed happened at this point where bitcoin was riding up and it dropped back down again to uh 30 thousand dollars before having a new all-time high. Dropping it again, then it went up.
History repeats itself. We see this happening time and time again. Bitcoin was approaching going hot 49 000, even higher than that. Then it dropped down below that it was approaching 40 000.
It was a bull trap or it was a dead cat bounce everyone's saying that it did pull back down, but then what happened after that? We had to bounce all the way to the top. Now, with that being said, there's an article today that really breaks it down on some of the key points that we should make note. I think they do a better job than i ever could in summarizing. What's going on right now, especially uh in terms of the invasion that we're having uh with ukraine, so top cryptocurrencies, like bitcoin, was up as over 15 in the last 24 hours running below the key psychological threshold of 40 000 for the past 10 days, when it Comes to crypto, we mentioned this time and time again: 30.
40. 50. 60. These are huge levels within crypto just because it is flat numbers where psychological support levels and resistance levels are created.
Another thing you guys want to keep a note of is what we're going to talk about in today's episode. This is going to be russia's invasion of ukraine very unfortunate things going on, but we're going to be talking about how this ties into the crypto markets, because there is influence on this um. But if you guys didn't know, the russian ruble went ahead and cratered more than 30, meaning it dropped and lost a lot of value, and on top of that, the russian federation ranks 18th in global crypto adoption according to chain analysis as well. A lot of this is going to have to do with the economic sanctions.
Like we mentioned. Something we have to talk about. Is a swift you're going to be hearing about this on twitter on instagram, on the news, probably from some of your family members, we're going to be breaking this down, because this is really important to know as well? And this is a really interesting fact. But if you also didn't know russia, they hold 23.9 billion dollars worth of bitcoin. It's a lot of money. So people often assume that many countries outside the u.s, maybe canada - they don't have a significant impact in the market. But there are other countries that do hold significant amounts of cryptocurrency and obviously, when you have billions upon billions of dollars, that is enough to be able to move the price of the market uh. You also have to ask yourself this: what is the purpose of crypto? What is the utility behind it? It's actually during times like this, it's when we start losing value within the dollar.
It's when we see other countries realizing uh. Other countries can step in and determine how much their money is worth and they're gon na resort to peer-to-peer currency they're, going to resort to something that doesn't have uh man-made limitations and it is controlled by decentralized technology, otherwise known as the blockchain. So that is where the principle of crypto is coming from. Let me know if you guys even thought we would ever be in a situation right now like we are experiencing uh, because even like even here, i got friends who are ready to start going back to the gun, store and buying up some ammo, because it is A lot of uncertainty, and it's just nuts thinking about all the stuff that we've endured over the past few years, the market ups and downs, the pandemic, and now even just talking about other countries invading one another.
In order to you know, just just keep pushing keep pushing their objectives wanting to get more land uh. On top of that, russian adoption of cryptocurrency is likely to increase. According to the 2021 chain analysis global crypto adoption index, the russian federation ranks 18th in the world. Something we just discussed and there's every reason to believe that the conflict that the russian government started will drive adoption within that federation to all-time highs.
Uh, as its citizenry tries to survive the specter of war any way it can something unique. That's also happening within my area, montgomery county maryland uh. They actually decided to prevent the selling of liquor so like russian vodkas as an example in order to stand in a an allegiance for the ukraine, uh um country, but uh. What's interesting about that, is you know the alcohol has already been bought by my county they're, just preventing people from buying it uh the message there itself i think, spreads positively, but in terms of economic, you know just impacts.
I don't know how big of an impact it has, i think, even with situations like that as much as guys want to hurt a full country like russia, it's one individual, it's it's putin right now, who's making the calls - and there are stories right now of russian Citizens and soldiers who who don't like what's going on either, so let me know how you guys feel about the whole situation. Let me know, if you guys are, you know, cutting out some of your vodka purchases too, or you know you're boycotting or or choosing a different way in life or if that even does make any type of impact at all either uh. What's really cool about all this, though uh, even though we are still seeing green in the market, because the crypto fear and greed index has not refreshed we're still seeing this in the extreme fear expect this to change, expect it to change rapidly and once we start Getting into the greed, that's when you guys know if you do have some bags in profit, you don't want to be holding on to your portfolio for an extended period of time unless you're hodling through, which is something i'm doing. But if you're going for swing trades short-term day trades, please don't get caught up in quick emotions. When the ball starts rolling with crypto and we're seeing 15 increases quickly, then everyone starts going uh pretty parabolic with their mindset, meaning they want to keep chasing the high. They want to make more and more money and they quickly forgot uh the endurance that we had to face recently before uh, but figuring. The fact that if you guys are watching this live stream, i'm sure most you guys are holding some type of crypto right now and it's just recovering up. Today.
It's going to be a lot better than the individuals who called it quits bought into sheba and said. Okay, i lost money, i'm done i'm out of it for good. That type of mindset is really what withholds a lot of people in order to make money in the world we live in today, you have to take risks. It doesn't have to be a full out.
50 50 gamble with your life saving, but take some risks where you know you don't have to over leverage yourself, but you do have positions within certain markets where, if we do see the volatility increasing, where it points us to the upside, you do have possibilities of Making money, rather than having your money, getting eaten away by inflation. I appreciate you guys uh, let me know if my mic does. I think my mic is good. Your camera's dead shoot dang mia.
Let me fix that thanks. What is up all right? Let me check my camera real, quick, oh okay, okay, ah check your cam. We can't see you got you got. You got you all right.
This is my macbook kim. So i'm gon na look real crusty on this, but let me catfish y'all real, quick with the uh, the other camera all right. Here we go. Okay, we're good! We good all right thanks! Ladies and gents.
Thank you javi all right guys, so moving on something else. We want to discuss let's back on, we can see now all right looks good. It looks great all right, so audio is good as long as audio is good. I feel like we're chilling right uh in terms of times like this something we do like to look at for all coins is the tvl we are.
We are actually seeing a huge pump within uh the total value locked happening within the past few days as well, but today, even though we're having that pump, it's not necessarily reflecting the amount of money that was locked in here. So i think it's just the overall sentiment that is doing extremely well today. Let me uh make sure this is good road, caster, pro yeah audio straight all right, taking a look. We are still seeing like lido up 16 right now we got compound 5. I mean most green within today, at least for a lot of the tvl locked up in the ecosystems, obviously tara. Today, this is going to reflect that price. It's going to be the amount of money getting locked up in there. Look at that run up.
That is insane uh avax. Let's see how they're doing not as big as a pump as we did see with tara, luna and salon is actually going down, but they're still up today in price. So a little bit of arbitrage here when you do see the tvl not reflecting the current price action. That is when you can find opportunities uh, but even these crypto projects guys my team and i we recently filmed like a new top five crypto project to invest in video.
It was supposed to go out this friday, but i i didn't have the thumbnail already. So we postponed it and i really wish it went up uh because tara, luna solana, we had the og cryptos on that list um and if we posted it actually, when i recorded it, it would have almost been 100 gain on people's investment uh. But we got we got time. We got time in this market and even with things going on with the uncertainty, i think it's better for us to have some stability with a lot of foundations, with support levels before even coming out with uh some type of recommendations.
As well through our non-financial advice, like always right, anyways, some additional data that i wanted to talk about, just referring back to where we are within the crypto market, and why, even though last week had so much terrible news, we saw this week going up. This is coming from block works, uh. Another reputable crypto site that shares really good information with us. Uh they actually had a 50 bips raised, is now effective off the table.
So bibs for the march meeting, higher energy prices and geopolitical uncertainty may do the fed's job. For it by slowing global growth, they continue to expand upon that and say consumers were not much in a spending mood. Anyways consumer sentiment was at a 10-year low and we can now add war to the below list of dis, inflationary words from a university of michigan study. We talked about this uh with a lot of people blowing money during the pandemic because of stimulus checks after that uh and this holiday season.
A lot of people have not been going out. Uh, the restaurant that i co co-own and have invested into we've been having not as many customers coming in since january uh and we've been seeing that actually with all of our partner chains. So i just know that a lot of people aren't really in that spending. Mood, i know i'm not either we're kind of just hanging out right now waiting to see what's next, especially when it's the start of the year, people want to budget more people want to invest a bit more into the markets and they continue to say there are Less dollars to go around the us personal savings rate has rounded tipped it back to 6.4, leaving less of a cushion against higher energy prices. So what does all of this mean? What do these charts have to do with anything? This is going to come back to central bank policy. It's going to come back to the idea of what crypto is intended for and why the markets respond in the way that they do whenever we have inflation going up when whenever we have people not wanting to spend money or saving rates going down, we open up The opportunity for people to find different investment assets to start putting their money into, and that's just going to be it something we like to also discuss on this channel, is just whether or not we can enter an altcoin season, uh index or an altcoin season. Where things are riding up co-related to the title that i have for this video, if we take a look into the all coin season index for the current season right now, uh, obviously it is still not it just because it is considered bitcoin season when many of The all coins did get wrecked uh. They were in the red over the last 90 days, but if we went ahead and actually put this into the year, it still does put us in a stronger all coin season indicator where even compared to bitcoin, which is right here, we had many more cryptocurrencies, like Luna up a significant amount just in the last year, so what does this mean? It means that if you do take your bets with cryptocurrency and you do want to have a focus on growing your portfolio, you got to know this.
There are still all coins that are going to amplify the amount of gains that you can make within the market uh. For me, i've been having less and less bitcoin. I've been shaving that down over the past year and putting it either into stable coins or putting it into other all coins in the market. Some of you guys have also been asking me like brian.
Why have you chosen some of the all coins that you did within your last top crypto picks video uh? Some of them were like ftxcrypto.com, i mean avax is one of them. Binance was one of them, and it's because if you don't have an optimistic approach to the market - and you do believe that we are going to see a bit more downside or we can enter that bare territory, cryptocurrencies that i believe that are related to exchanges. They will not, they will not get wrecked, they will not get destroyed, they may go down in price, but when i say wrecked, it means bottoming out uh, where it's like a 95 loss. I just don't expect that to happen.
We also had word where bank of america even stated: we went ahead and they said bank of america sees no crypto winter, given user adoption developer activity growth. So when you have large banks like this making huge headlines, huge statements like this is one type of a statement to make. You have to take that into consideration like some of these companies and these hedge funds, if they're so bullish about crypto, why aren't we? Why are we so bearish about it, even when the price action is down, if we're so bearish about it? Why are institutions continuing to buy up these dips? It's because long term is what everyone looks at when i say everyone, it's going to be the larger players. It's going to be people who succeed in this market. You do not look short-sighted. You don't look at what's going to happen tomorrow or next week, i'm playing this long term. If i look tomorrow or what's going to happen next week, it's not based on my portfolio growth, it's based on positions i'm going to enter, so i can continue making that bag within this market. So something else we really want to discuss is pretty cool feature.
As you guys know, ethereum is set to have that upgrade soon, where they move over from proof of work over into proof of stake. When this happens, it's going to enable some staking yields that are going to go up higher, imagine being able to buy ethereum and earning an additional 9 to 12 percent apr every year on your investment. So while ethereum continues to grow, you're compounding some additional interest on that, coinbase is actually expecting ethereum to be able to gain some additional yields up until this point for 12 to 18 or 9 to 12. This actually came over from a tweet which is not available here right now, but this is going to be good news for anyone who is holding ethereum long term if you're, a long hauler for ethereum, which i never think is a bad option.
This is still going to yield you way higher returns, assuming ethereum even just stays flat compared to most investments. Uh. If i were to loan money out to a friend right now, i'd probably match whatever rate they would get three four or five percent in the market. I wouldn't even do that right now, when you can earn staking yields at such a high rate even right now, if you guys don't know what staking yields.
Are it's pretty much where you lock up your crypto for a certain amount of time and while it's locked up in there, it earns you interest. So you won't be able to get that crypto out if you lock it in for a year, but they give you abilities uh to lock it in for shorter periods of time. I know you can do even like a few weeks on certain exchanges up until like a month 60 days, whatever you plan on uh doing with your investment, i think the advantage of doing this as well is that it forces you to lock in your investment. So if you're, not a hodler, and you just you're so panicky - and you don't know what to do forcing yourself to stake a crypto where you legit cannot pull it out. Even when your mind is screaming, uh is is something that some people may want discipline in. So that's obviously an option, especially when we're seeing that apr increase, do not sleep on these passive income strategies. If you don't even have that much money in your account, i'm telling you this adds up significantly over time and back when i joined coinbase in 2018. We didn't, we didn't see, staking yields of 12 apr.
A lot of this is still new. A lot of these features are amazing, and it's important for you guys to know about them, so you can take advantage of it as well. We have some people saying ethereum. 2.0 is never going to come out.
It's a fever dream. I disagree with that. It is going to come out. It's just going to take some time, but if you do believe it's never going to come out then place your bets with uh.
You know avax solana cardano, if you want, because these are all considered the ethereum competitors and if you're, trying to bet against this asset, which you know, i think you can play the market in several different ways, but betting against ethereum at 347 billion dollar market cap. With the amount of money that they have locked up, i don't think it's the smartest, but i understand it: uh someone says what happened to the execution order. I think you're in inferring the executive order, my guy uh, the executive order was set to come out this month. Obviously we didn't expect, for you know russia to invade ukraine, so it looks like uh.
The us government, especially the biden administration, is having their focus elsewhere, where the priorities matter uh. So i do think that's gon na get postponed until march. I do hope. Maybe you know things get settled down.
The dust goes down a bit and when that happens, and when we do get some further word on regulation, i personally believe that it would help the market significantly long term, all right guys in addition to that, while we're on the topic of ukraine, let's talk about This ukraine went ahead and raised 13 million dollars in crypto after crowdfunding appeal uh, just like what we saw with canada and the truckers not have like having their gofundme uh just completely wiped out their money sent back the donation sent back to the people. People are going to crypto, they are finding the wallet address and people are able to easily donate to their cause. Uh, it's insane seeing the amount of money that is going in here. It started at less than a million dollars.
When we first heard of this news and quickly every day, we're seeing more and more just going into this wallet here, uh and right now, this all going towards the efforts of just being able to stand behind the people of ukraine and just being able to fight Uh the russian invasion right now - uh - we mentioned this earlier in today's video. This is pretty important, but the russia ruble russian ruble is now worth less than one u.s cent after swift bank sanctions, if you don't know swift bank sanctions is this twitter thread right here. Does a great job, i don't want to do a full dive on it in on today's live stream, just because it is so long. It's about 31 different tweets, but it looks like most people do have an idea of how this works. If you guys don't know swift is you know just focusing on sending payment orders? He stated right here: the u.s sanctions to date on the systematically important russian banks specifically exempt energy payments, so europe can keep paying for natural gas. Taking russia out of swift adds admin costs to the payment process, but does not prevent these payments from happening. I also pulled up an extra article as well regarding some additional news. Ukraine went ahead and asked binance coinbase and six other crypto exchanges to block russian users.
It looks like this war is happening on many different fronts. We are seeing bullets ammunition and uh. You know physical violence like detonations war related terrible stuff, but when we're talking about the other side of the war, it's going to be what the u.s government has decided to do. It's going to be the swift actions, it's going to be ukraine, taking away exchange rights from you, know the country of russia in order to limit the amount of finances that they're able to get.
So you know a lot of this that is developing. It's still insane. Uh, i personally can't believe how much is going on all across the world, but it looks like the market is responding. You know optimistically to everything that is still going on.
On top of that, we do have to mention a little bit of good news. Ebay is actually talking about adding some crypto payment options, as well, so imagine being able to buy something on ebay and using usdc or any type of crypto in order to buy your purchase. We talked about this a lot in the previous bull run, where crypto companies would pour in money just uh. You know crypto or sorry exchange related companies would relate uh start pouring money back into crypto platforms, and this is just gon na overall push the innovation going on.
So, on top of that, the ruble denominated bitcoin volume went ahead and surged to a nine month high and the increase comes as the west sanctions on a rusher russian trigger a flight from the ruble. Let me get that out. Man some stumbles going on, but i think that's pretty much it uh. The one funny story - guys i didn't want to talk about - was this right here: there's an nfc project that went ahead and raised 70 million dollars - i literally bursted laughing over the past weekend.
So this is a company called pixelmon. You know they're verified in everything, they raised a lot of money and they even showed what their uh their nft project was supposed to look like. So let me blow this up real quick. So it's supposed to look like a full 3d amazing virtual game right here. Uh - and you know it looks pretty promising it's something that you know i could consider playing the characters, look great uh. They raised a decent amount and uh. They actually even showed some additional footage of what uh you know like some of their pokemon based crypto uh pixelmon, we're gon na do but uh. This is what it actually ended up.
Looking like uh. This is what they promised if we can load this up. Actually, this is not what they promised. This is actually what people got.
People got like these beat up looking things. One of these guys were literally in the dirt and then right after that, uh the price of this project started plummeting, so they did make a statement talking about this, and i think this was probably the funniest one out of all of them. Some dude literally minted an nft and got nothing like, and i believe there were three ethereum. So it's like four eight twelve, three, six: nine nine grand right, yeah close to nine thousand dollars uh for these ethereum nfts.
So this is just a gentle reminder. We're gon na be seeing a lot of this within the crypto markets uh. This is why, when it comes to play to earn games or metaverse related games like man having real in-game footage is so important. We can see like the most cinematic uh high quality games to exist, but camera died.
Camera died again. You know what it is. It's because the usb my bad guys, because the usb is not plugged in but uh yeah - be careful of these nft projects uh. It looks like they are working towards it, be careful folks, all right, i'm gon na do a couple q, a questions i apologize for like running back and forth in today's live stream.
It's just because the camera is connected to the hdmi and not on usb. So it is just going to sleep uh, but evan made a little donut. He says: is this a bull trap? If so, what will the top be? Well, let me uh pull out my crystal ball from underneath this. I think i got it over here.
Actually, i don't know where i put the ball this time. I think i put it in the bathroom today uh, but you know based on the charts right now. Obviously i know a lot of you guys can be worried that this is a bull trap. Just when you see a lot of green happening within the markets like this, but you also have to realize just within the last month too, we've been so suppressed within the price range.
We had so much good news, so much innovation going on just within the last month, and even though the price of crypto was going down, this forces positions at a certain point to accumulate it's where people are just holding on holding on waiting to see life and As soon as you get momentum, that is where crypto has popped off, at least ooh, at least within the last two months, choking and dying, even during these bull runs right here, everyone. This is something i mentioned earlier. Everyone just thought it was a bold trap. Constantly constantly constantly and we were able to make some insane new all-time highs, so you know, according to my walmart crystal ball, i personally don't think this could be a bull trap. I do think we will see a pullback. I think bitcoin will cool down a bit before we can make some more higher highs. But then again i was even wrong about march. Well, we're technically not in march yet, but i would assume that march would be a rough month for crypto.
So i think only time will tell um yeah. I think only time will tell. I think it just depends if you are feeling more bullish within the market. Make sure that you do have proper bets placed alongside this, and i think, if you guys are looking at this in terms of a basic investor standpoint, just make sure you aren't over leveraged make sure that you do have positions that are diversified and, if you are Afraid that this is a bull trap and you do have positions now in the green, you can always make sure that you reallocate that - and i think that's one of the best ways to move about this all right so guys.

๐<< I totally agree with what you are saying….The fact is, BTC is the future of crypto and the questions traders ask themselves now if this is right time to invest? before jumping into conclusion i think you should take a look at things first. for the past few days the price of BTC has been fluctuating which means the market is currently unstable and you cant tell if it is going bearish or bullish. while others still continue to trade without the fear of making lose, others are being patient. it all depends on the pattern with which you trade and also the source of your signals. i would say trading has been going smoothly for me, i started with 2.5 BTC and i have accumulated over 11.6 BTC in just three weeks, with the trading strategy given to me by expert trader Larren Martins…..
Thanks Brian, congrats on the TED talkโ๐
