Metaverse Leaders Vs Metaverse Gambles **For New Investors** Investors who are aiming at entering the Metaverse sector at this stage of the game are faced with two options. They either jump in on the big guns in the hope that they continue to increase in value over the next while, or they seek out some undiscovered projects that could ultimately also become leaders in the not too distant future. Projects such as SAND and MANA could still experience very significant moves…

The Best Way To Earn Interest On Your Stablecoins **Every Portfolio Should Have An Allocation** It’s a personal view and by no means financial advice but I believe every Crypto Portfolio should have some exposure to stablecoins. This is also quite important when locking in gains as a trader, or even as a long-term investor. **A Great Hedge** Holding stables will see your portfolio increase somewhat more modestly in a bull run but still rather significantly. The same is true…
A Healthy Purge In The Crypto Markets **A Grasp On Reality** It is not really encouraging to see your portfolio bleed out so quickly, as we have just experienced this weekend's flash crash. Bitcoin lost 15% in a single hour and was down as much as 22% in a 24 hour period. This is now a good and solid crash and could later edge even lower. What always transpires after such a dump is an immediate bounce. I personally added to my leveraged long ETH position in this dip. I…
The Truth About Investing In Altcoins **If You Believe The Lie** Most people believe the voice that repeats, as opposed to the accurate voice. Many successful traders or investors who have managed to make it without joining “The Club” will confirm this foundational truth. Understanding and interpreting markets accurately is a matter of emotional intelligence and discerning the game being played. Once you have a clear objective of what the goal is, as well as how the public…
Where I See Quality In This Market **Discerning Without Action Is Futile** In 2018 I was still a business owner and customers that entered my store often received the Bitcoin punt from me. In 2018 the price of BTC was in an excellent accumulation zone and even though I was so bullish, people were mostly laughing at me. I however understood what was busy playing out in my own country’s economy. To me, BTC at $3K was an absolute steal. You need to remember that there was no…
A Good Opportunity To Pick Up Metaverse Projects? **Look For The Silver Lining** No matter how bad a situation may appear, there is always some good that can come out of it. As you well know, a market dump does offer some great opportunities to accumulate quality projects at a discounted price. A good dump is often the best time to buy solid projects with a bright future, for the simple reason that everyone will be doing likewise. Investors want quality at a discounted…
The Real Money In Crypto Is Made During Bear Markets **Why 90% Of The Market Will Always Lose** Making money in any financial market requires a certain something that not everyone possesses. It is difficult to actually put into words because it is not merely one single attribute but rather a completely unique way of viewing things. Successful investors act in a way that many think is counterintuitive. However, It is actually rather imperative to their success. The "smart…
Crypto - A Gift In Troubled Times **Accelerated Adjustment** I don’t think even the most bullish of us Crypto enthusiasts could have imagined what we have seen unfold in the last 2 years. It has been amazing but also very troubling. In many ways, Bitcoin and Crypto as a whole has flourished due to the chaos and unraveling of government, economies, and society as a whole. Unfortunately, this is way more likely to get worse in the coming days. Fortunately, we do have this…
The Road Ahead For Bitcoin & Crypto **Advancement & Growth Is Unrestrained** Looking back over the past number of years that I have been involved in the Crypto space, I can definitely say that the narratives and goalposts have been shifted numerous times to accommodate the accelerating growth and development of this new technology. It is almost as if it is actually impossible to predict where this will all go next. If you look back on some of the narratives of the past, it…
Bitcoin - Practicing Patience **How Much Longer?** This is a question that I am sure many are currently wondering. The rocket ship appears to be late and many are concerned about the market changing direction in the long term. There are some that have come out and said that the bull run is officially over. One of these voices is veteran trader Peter Brandt. Mainstream media has been pushing headlines that credit Peter for calling the crash at the end of 2017. However, they…
Crypto Ignorance & Misinformation Is Still A Massive Obstacle **You Have Got To Be Kidding Me!** Yesterday I went down to one of my favorite beach restaurants for breakfast and got into a conversation with one of the locals who also frequents the spot. I was literally shocked at how he relayed multiple stories of people that he knows who have lost money "in Bitcoin". Before I go any further, I must mention that I popped in at another coffee shop shortly after leaving, only…
True To My Convictions Irrespective Of Price **Dedication That Rewards** I spent many years in the business world running businesses and sometimes managing as many as 60 staff members. Extreme dedication and long exhaustive hours were the order of the day. When I look at my reward for dedication within the Crypto realm compared to that of my past, the one pales in comparison. I am sure you can guess which one it is that outshines the other. Crypto has been extremely…
What You May Not Understand In Regard To Price Models **Everyone Busy Rethinking Their End Game?** A lot has happened in the past few months when it comes to the Crypto markets. Bitcoin went all the way down to $29K and then all the way past the previous all-time high to $69K. Currently, BTC is trading just below the $50K zone and many alts are not doing so well, with some exceptions of course. Many were expecting a yearly close for BTC at around $100K, which at this point,…
Frugality Is An Alternative Way To Earn More **It's More About What's Left** A lot of folks are attracted to Crypto as it is a way to earn additional money. Some are a bit more ambitious but at the end of the day everyone is trying to get more money. That is the bottom line! Earning extra money via a side hustle can be very draining to those with demanding jobs or careers. Frugality is often ignored as a strategy because it can remove or minimize the comforts of life.…
Research, Metrics & Crypto Investment Decisions **Some Investors Even Ignore The Basics** When it comes to the term “investors”, there is often hesitancy on my part to actually use that term in some instances. Anyone that purchases an asset is by default referred to as an investor. However, anyone who paints a painting is not necessarily an artist. Referring to certain individuals in the Crypto space as investors is actually not only inaccurate but also insulting to true…
Top 5 Crypto-Based Social Media Platforms **Monetizing Your Content** These days it is relatively easy to monetize the content you create and put out on social media. Earning Crypto via various platforms has become something that many people are beginning to warm up to. Many of these platforms already have hundreds of thousands of users taking advantage of these monetization models. Unfortunately, wherever there is free money to be had, there is also abuse. However, spam and…
Stack BTC By Earning Free PRE Tokens **Viewpoint & Creativity** When it comes to the accumulation of Bitcoin, creativity can go along way in generating BTC. Utilizing multiple free services and ideas can accelerate your accumulation of this scarce commodity. However, you actually need to remove the mindset of earning BTC! Any coin or token that can be earned without any to little effort, has the potential of becoming a BTC holding. These accumulation strategies can then be…
Creating Content On Hive Is Building Your Tomorrow **Hive Is Superior** I have often outlined the many reasons that make Hive superior to other blogging platforms that provide Crypto rewards. This is addressed more extensively in "Hive - The Communal Road To Independence" and is definitely worth a read if you are new to the Hive Ecosystem. https://sapphirecrypto.org/2021/10/07/hive-the-road-to-communal-independence/ The fact that Hive is actually on the blockchain and is…
Crypto & The Brilliance Of The Incentivized Economy **The Starting Point** I think for most of us who have been involved in Crypto for a number of years, the story is quite similar. Different ways of earning and learning were instrumental in onboarding us to the Crypto lifestyle. While doing a lot of research surrounding Bitcoin in 2015, I obviously came across many ways to earn a bit of free Crypto. Even back then there were opportunities at hand that Incentivized users or…
The 3 Tiers Of Generating Crypto **From Micro Earnings To Substantial Earnings** Whether you are looking to stack up a few extra sats or looking to compensate for your living expenses, Crypto is an absolute treasure trove of opportunities. Earning free Crytpo has evolved from a more niche opportunity to one where more and more people are getting involved. The recent trend of Play2Earn gaming has also been a massive awakening!
