“Solve the real problems. What are the biggest problems people have? People are depressed, people are anxious, people are broke, people are unhealthy. We need to see more crypto projects in the biomedical industry.” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Today, industries can hide behind closed doors.

Blockchain can change that.” - Tai Lopez    (click to tweet) Points to Keep In Mind Most new tokens will be developed on top of the Ethereum platform When diversifying your investment portfolio, find assets that move in opposite directions Focus on the team when making crypto investments Bitcoin Cash moves in the opposite direction of Bitcoin The real trick to diversifying is finding things that are uncorrelated Always go after the unsexy businesses/coins There’s opportunity for influencer coins (ex: A Kim Kardashian coin that fractionalizes access to her brand/TV show) Many crypto projects are trying to solve problems people don’t know they have The biggest opportunity in crypto is in the biomedical industry Look at Power Ledger for an example of a crypto project doing social good There will always be a huge adoption curve to any platform-based technology

“If you know what you don’t know, it’s better than not knowing what you don’t know.” - Dave Levine (click to tweet) Don’t be attached to your ideas. In a field like cryptocurrency, this will close you off to new information, preventing you from absorbing the knowledge of others. While an initial spike in your portfolio may have you feeling invincible with your investment thesis, it’s always important to stay open to outside education. That’s why on today’s episode of The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind show we are joined by Dave Levine to talk about many things crypto-related, particularly the value in Ethereum. Dave has committed his entire life to researching and understanding which coins deserve our attention. In this discussion, we hear his insights, the same ones that have helped him profit $700,000 in the past year investing in cryptocurrency. Don’t forget!

Most of us spend our lives firing from the hip, making decisions based off word-of-mouth or emotional chatter. Rarely do we sit down and take the time to research a subject, connecting the dots of fact inside our own heads. However, when we begin to do this, we start to make more nuanced investment decisions that not only provide higher returns but also a calmer peace of mind. On today’s episode of The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind Show, we are discussing the value of an informed opinion in the cryptocurrency space. Compared to other investment sectors, cryptocurrency has a particularly high level of noise. This makes it especially important to separate yourself from the chatter to conduct your own research and form your own opinion.

“In a way, ICOs are an evolution of crowdfunding. But they’re allowing for immediate liquidity.”   (click to tweet) Is the company actually utilizing the blockchain? Or, are they just placing it in front of a pre-existing business model? Questions like this cut through the marketing noise found in most cryptocurrencies and tap into the core of the technology. When a cryptocurrency integrates blockchain technology in a way that has everyone benefiting in the network, it is worth your investment. On today’s episode of The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind Show, we are joined by a panel of experts to discuss the many different factors to consider when evaluating a cryptocurrency. From Greg Gilman of Science Blockchain to Reeve Collins of BLOCKv, this panel brings all perspectives to the table.

Click “Follow” and let me know what you think! “Crypto does not have a working use case right now. It’s all speculation.”   (click to tweet) Points to Keep In Mind Platforms over tokens because tokens can be built on top of the platforms Be concerned about the team, more than the technology The coins with the most hype are the ones with the least focus on technology You won’t be invested in learning about crypto until you put money in it Studies show people value and retain paid information much more than free information Research who the team is, and why they’re building their ICO Always inquire about the terms of the deal, and whether previous investors were offered the same Evaluate whether the technology actually utilizes the blockchain technology, or just places it in front of something Buy Bitcoin and Ethereum for your first step into the market Look for tokens with high-quality commits on their GitHub repository Examine whether that’s part of the conversation on Telegram Seek out infrastructure-tokens like EOS, Dragonchain, Lumens, etc. Find tokens that are within your industries of interest You can be an expert on anything you spend your time on Be skeptical of the cryptocurrencies that are just gift cards to use the business Look for tokens where everybody in the network benefits from using it Download the highest-rated podcast app Castbox for FREE here!

“Cryptocurrency shouldn’t feel shady. It shouldn’t overwhelm people. It shouldn’t feel like, “God, I can’t figure this out.”   (click to tweet) The projects with the greatest hype are the ones you must stay away from. This might sound counterintuitive; you’ve been given advice to invest in the coins with attention and news headlines because crypto is an emotional market. But the teams behind those tokens are spending their resources on marketing, not technology.  And if the coin doesn’t have the technology to back up the hype, then it will ultimately drain your investment portfolio of any profit. On today’s episode of The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind Show, we are joined by a panel of experts to discuss all things related to cryptocurrency. From discussing the value of Telegram communities to the nature of financial markets, this discussion touches on every aspect of blockchain technology and cryptocurrency.

“The real good, intelligent marketers have singled in on that key word that differentiates the coin.” (click to tweet) Cryptocurrency is a technically driven industry. But the marketing is equally, if not more, important. Without a compelling story, your coin will blend into the hundreds of other coins being developed. This is why if you’re starting a company on the blockchain, you must give equal consideration to the branding of your ICO as you do the technology. On today’s episode of The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind Show, we are joined by multiple marketing experts to discuss the marketing strategies in the cryptocurrency space. From Neil Patel to Chris Sacca, these speakers cover everything from how to market your ICO to what your coin’s name should be. Tune in to understand crypto from this marketing angle, and apply the insights to your investment strategy! And don’t forget!

Everytime you make a PayPal transaction, 600 different parties can see your data Always try to have a unique story when marketing your ICO Try not to only accept investment from people who can also provide value Read Nick Bostrom’s Superintelligence 3 types of artificial intelligence: cyborgs, supercomputers, and collaborative intelligence All problems can be solved by collaborative intelligence If you give people value, they will come back for more Try to create a product to show investors Keep it simple and stupid when marketing your ICO When evaluating a problem, ask yourself if it’s something you wake up frustrated about Look at pre-existing businesses to adapt to the blockchain Know your audience Everything in life comes down to problem and solution Don’t fake it until it you make it; actually make it Make content and the people will come to you because there’s so much online buzz Be careful of the cryptos that aren’t ICO because they aren’t relying The SEC says that 100% of tokens are utility tokens Don’t fake it until you make it; actually make it Experiment often; your ego will tell you that you don’t need to

“Crypto has ignited a movement where everyone is an expert. I’m worried it’s descending into a massive cult.” - Tai Lopez     (click to tweet)  600 different different parties are alerted with each PayPal transaction. This is the flaw in the modern banking system. Your most personal information is exposed to that many people instantly and without your knowledge. In a blockchain network, however, your assets are cryptically held safe amongst other users. This is why privacy is the most important piece of criteria to evaluate when judging a coin. On today’s episode of The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind Show, we are joined by crypto-expert Jacob to walk through the top coins right now. With Bitcoin’s price hovering around $7,000, it’s easy to focus on that and lose sight of all the other major technologies being developed. But when you start to evaluate privacy, you’ll learn about the newest coins in the market. Tune in to take your investment portfolio to the next level by introducing privacy coins! And don’t forget!

That’s what would kill Facebook. Watch out for Steem.” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Points to Keep In Mind Ripple is now worth $100 billion Learn to write the smart contract code for Ethereum Read Crossing the Chasm to learn about adoption curves Binance is now valued at over $1 billion Don’t forget to ask whether the coin makes sense or not Walmart has now reduced shipment tracking time from 7 days to 2.5 seconds using blockchain Be sure to dollar-cost average when investing Understand that nobody really knows anything in the crypto market Be sure to take your coins offline; Coinbase only protects their hot wallet Cardono is trying to be a better Ethereum, but doesn’t have a product yet Monero is the most privacy-focused cryptocurrency 600 different parties have access to your PayPal transactions

“The fact that crypto has come in as an alternative puts pressure on the mainstream Federal Reserve and banks to do a better job.” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) There are 7.4 billion people on planet earth. And that number is only continuing to grow. Population predictions have the world at 9.8 billion by 2050 and 11.2 billion by 2100. What this means for blockchain technology is more people in the networks and more brain processing power for whatever problem the technology is trying to solve. On today’s episode of The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind show, we are discussing the current state of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. At its core, blockchain technology is a type of artificial intelligence (collaborative), so we take most of today’s discussion to discuss just what is at the core of the human experience. By dissecting it to this level, we can extrapolate the features A.I. and blockchain must integrate to create a collaborative intelligence that harnesses the power of all 7.4 billion people on planet earth.

“One of my mentors told me, “Never be the first or last to try a new idea.” If you’re first, you might get burned. And if you’re last, you’ve missed the trend.” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Your idea is useless if nobody knows about it. And in a space like cryptocurrency where there is so much noise and competition, marketing becomes of utmost importance. If you don’t take your marketing seriously, you will implement outdated philosophies and get lost in the crowd with the rest of the players. On today’s episode of The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind show, we are discussing how to market your crypto ideas. While many thing it’s just the white paper and website, there are many other marketing avenues for crypto technologies.

“2018 will be the year of the privacy coin because people want anonymity.” - Howard Marks (click to tweet) The whole purpose of cryptocurrency is to move away from the government. But as the crypto space grows, we are starting to see corruption grow. With 70-80% of all crypto transactions happening in Asia, many of which are the products of bot-farms, artificially generated price inflation is becoming a reason for concern.

“What if we had a rational currency where nobody or no government could print more? That was the basis of Bitcoin.”   (click to tweet)  Blockchain will save the world. We hear this a lot in our crypto conversations. The overeager blockchain enthusiast is quick to say that every problem will be solved by this technology. Whether or not that’s true is beside the point; what we do know is that the blockchain will continue to cheapen the cost of financial transactions, saving both you and the whole world money. On today’s episode of The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind Show, we are at the Affiliate Summit to talk about all things related to cryptocurrency. From empowering the bottom 2 billion people living in poverty to easing banks’ transfer of money, the blockchain technology will revolutionize the global financial system.

“Develop the tools and technology to empower people to be in control of their lives.” - Anthony Diiorio (click to tweet) A racing mind can’t innovate. If your inner monologue is constantly leapfrogging from thought to thought, how will it ever cut beneath the surface? Counterintuitively, a slow mind is much more capable than a fast mind. It has the ability to pierce through the noise because it’s undistracted by it. On today’s episode of The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind show, we are joined by Anthony Diiorio, a cofounder of Ethereum, and also the CEO & Founder of Decentral & Jaxx.

“The paradigm is shifting where Google and Facebook won’t control your identity. You will decide how it’s monetized.” - Anthony Diiorio (click to tweet) A passion for cryptocurrency is a passion for truth. So much is behind closed doors in the fiat currency model. The national governments can print more money whenever they want, putting the surplus into circulation to create inflation. With cryptocurrency, the entire network of transactions is exposed. And someone who has a passion for this model has a passion for truth. On today’s episode of The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind show, we are joined by Anthony Diiorio, a cofounder of Ethereum, and also the CEO & Founder of Decentral & Jaxx.

“It’s only a matter of time before all Facebook’s features and functionality get written on the blockchain, so instead of Facebook making billions a year, we as the users make money.” - Amith Nirgunarthy (click to tweet) Facebook is worth $350 billion. And all of its information is ours. We upload our most personal life details, photos and statuses, to the platform, for which Facebook can then turn around and sells the data to ad-buyers. In the future, when a blockchain-based Facebook enters the market, we the users will be compensated for our contribution to the network.   On today’s episode of The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind show, we are joined by Amith Nirgunarthy, the Founder and CEO of the cryptocurrency research institution Blockstreet, to discuss this possibility.

Any time, any day, any place.” - Amith Nirgunarthy (click to tweet) Points to Keep In Mind The biggest threat to cryptocurrency is quantum computing, the ability to break code Dash is an anonymity-based coin, has a very active code and community In India, developers are flocking to Eos for the code efficiency There are less politics in Eos than Ethereum Right now, it is near impossible to hack a private key Trezor over Ledger because it’s easier to set up Go to Bitcoin Talk Forum to see Satoshi Nakamoto's original posts Any coin you invest in, join the Telegram group A blockchain technology (like Steem) would eliminate Facebook’s ability to profit off the people’s information; instead the people would be paid for their info  

“Crypto is one of those rare situations where you want to risk more than you’re generally comfortable with.” - Dan Fleyshman (click to tweet) Investing without a strategy never works. Aimlessly throwing money into the cryptocurrency space will not yield the profits you want to see. You’ll be spinning your hamster wheel searching for answers with each turn of the market. Instead, you must enter the investment space with a specific strategy to prevent this from happening all together. On today’s episode of The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind show, we are joined by Dan Fleyshman to discuss the 40/40/20 investment strategy. Since first investing 4.5 years ago, Dan has closely followed the crypto market. He installed the first Bitcoin ATM into a casino, and knows the ins and outs of everything crypto-related.

“The hype is very dangerous. When you start to feel everyone is investing in a certain coin, it’s too late.” (click to tweet) Cryptocurrency is entering its next chapter. With Bitcoin’s price now steadily hovering around $10,000, it’s clear the attention is being distributed amongst other coins. Knowing which of these coins deserves our focus will separate the great investor from the mediocre. How you isolate which variables to examine is something we can learn from the experts.

“The idea of a social network that would pay its users. That’s what would kill Facebook. Watch out for Steem.” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Cryptocurrency is an emotional market.

You log onto your Twitter and there’s the Bitcoin headlines. You go to CNBC and there’s the latest report on Ripple. It seems when a crypto starts to gain media traction, it’s near impossible to ignore it.

“If you think about a token and add the experience layer, now you can create an entire new economy that’s much richer.” - Reeve Collins (click to tweet) Learn more than Bitcoin If you believe in the future of cryptocurrency. Some of us are unwilling to accept this reality. We have our investments in Ethereum and Bitcoin, and we think that’s enough.

“I think blockchain will have a material impact on the world, but I don’t think blockchain will cause world peace. It’s a pipedream to believe that.” - Fluffy Pony (click to tweet) Most governments are blind to the activity of their citizens. Sure, our browser history is traceable, but we are far from a dystopia where government officials our surveilling our every step. Blockchain technology can change that though, and in a good way. By putting whatever activity on the blockchain, the public ledger will have the network surveilling itself.  On today’s episode of The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind show, we are joined by Fluffy Pony of Monero to discuss privacy.

“The promise of a decentralized world is how can we have the same benefits we are used to getting from centralized entities, but in a decentralized way where the power remains in the people.” (click to tweet) All industries are centralized. To grow and scale, a company or entity must form some sort of governing board that sits at the top of the hierarchy. There, at the top of the pyramid, decisions are made and passed down through the rest of the network. This is how the model has historically worked since the Industrial Revolution, but now blockchain technology aims to change that. On today’s episode of The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind show, we are joined by Nick Spanos. He is the Founder of Bitcoin Center 2013 and Former Director of Contract of Ron Paul 2012.

“SALT is the only place you can borrow against your crypto assets to get leverage. This is only the beginning of the tokenization of value.” - Shawn Owen (click to tweet) Getting a loan is a stressful process. You have to meet with a bank, fill out the piles of paperwork, and be bound to their outrageous interest rates. But what if there was a way for blockchain to streamline this loan process? SALT Lendings aims to do just this. And on today’s episode of The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind show, we are joined by Cofounder of SALT, Shawn Owen.

“That’s what BLOCKv is. Expanding beyond the use cases of tokens and blockchains well beyond currencies to digital goods.” - Reeve Collins (click to tweet) Your brand probably advertises online. Through a combination of social media channels and SEO, most companies today are spending their marketing budget online. This drives traffic to their site, where they can then convert visitors into paying customers. But what if companies introduced digital currencies that gave potential customers value instead of advertisement? That is why on today’s episode of The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind show, we are joined by Reeve Collins, Co-Founder and CEO of BLOCKv.

“Dragonchain says, “Come use the blockchain platform. You don’t need to know the technical side of things. We’ll get you passed that.” (click to tweet) It used to be you were either a token like Bitcoin or a platform like Ethereum. But with each day, new crypto technologies are being developed. No longer is the opportunity binary. Companies are finding new spaces and market opportunities to provide value to the crypto investor.

“Education is the biggest opportunity for crypto. Is Blockchain the catalyst that finally causes change?” - Trevor Koverko (click to tweet) Most people in crypto don’t know what they’re talking about. Often times, we find ourselves stuck in circles of conversations where each person is speaking from a place of ignorance. It’s important to recognize these times for what they are, and not fall into the trap of them being our only source of crypto-related content. On today’s episode of The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind show, we are taking a moment to review top highlights from this week’s content. From Trevor Koverko breaking down how blockchain can integrate with the education system to Ben Oberg spelling out his investment strategy, the knowledge-dropping will have you walking away with a new lens on crypto.

Syscoin offers an alternative to typical commerce methods Have both short-term and long-term profits in mind when investing

“No offense to Ripple, but is wiring money the thing that’s going to change our world? Where’s the biomedical ICO that makes it so pharmaceutical companies don’t have a monopoly?” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) The token is just the thing that empowers the network to participate in the technology. So are you in it for the technology or the prospect of your token rising in price? This is the debate every crypto investor should be having with themselves. Once you become invested in just the profits, you lose sight of the greater blockchain mission, which is a necessary element of participating in this movement. On today’s episode of The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind Show, we are discussing the further applications of blockchain technology. So many people right now are focused on the get-rich quick strategy of holding onto profitable coins, but what about seeking out the technologies that are going to change the world? And don’t forget!

“People like to move these assets from the very speculative alt coins back into Bitcoin. If people feel uncertain, they invest in Bitcoin.” (click to tweet) Think of the cryptocurrency market as a pizza a pie. As more and more cryptocurrencies are released to the market, the pie grows. More money is being invested in cryptocurrency as a whole. But how much of the pie is a Bitcoin slice? At the end of 2017, when Bitcoin was at it’s all-time high around $20,000, we saw the Bitcoin slice occupying its smallest percentage. On today’s episode of The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind Show, we are discussing Bitcoin dominance. As the price of Bitcoin increases, people gain confidence in cryptocurrency as an asset, and invest in alt coins with their Bitcoin profits. On the flipside, when Bitcoin’s price drops, people hold their Bitcoin. And don’t forget! You can also listen to The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind Show on Spotify! Click “Follow” and let me know what you think! “Bitcoin dominance has consistently declined each year. That doesn’t mean Bitcoin’s price has dropped. It just means people are starting to invest into other assets.” (click to tweet) Points to Keep In Mind Dominant coins appreciate more reliably than alt coins People are continuously moving money into alt coins Bitcoin dominance has consistently declined each year That doesn’t mean Bitcoin’s price is falling Think of it as a growing pie where money moves to speculatives over alts Approximate alt coin percentage of the market cap is: $75 billion Bitcoin will likely increase in value, even at the expense of being a smaller chunk of the pie People will move their money from Bitcoin into alt coins

“Crypto shouldn’t be perceived as a ‘get-rich’ thing but that’s what’s happening.” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Cryptocurrency has entered an interesting phase. As the price of Bitcoin continues to fall, more and more coins are released to the public. And the buzz surrounding cryptocurrency seem to be tapering off. So what do we make of these seemingly contrasting trends? On today’s episode of The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind Show, we are joined by multiple panels of experts to discuss the current climate in the cryptocurrency space. From Chase Hero of The Watchers Group to Fluffy Pony of Monero to Chris Sacca of Shark Tank, these panels cover everything from how to get involved in Telegram communities to how to think about ICOs.

Click “Follow” and let me know what you think! “Crypto is financial anarchy on a global scale.”     (click to tweet) Points to Keep In Mind Intelligent people are not passing information in crypto because they are ridiculed by the media Some argue that the crypto space is an unprecedented risk-reward ratio Reach out to the developers behind the cryptos you invest in Cryptocurrency is no different than financial markets in that the richest, most intelligent people skim a layer off the top The only way to not be a sucker is to hold Check your ego at the door when describing cryptocurrency to another person Don’t buy anything that isn’t well research and picked by multiple experts Read books about game theory Diversification is unsexy in a world built on 1000x returns The token should do more than just be a funding source ICOs are an evolution of crowdfunding, but it’s allowing immediate liquidity Most tokens with ICOs don’t have workable code Don’t judge purely by number of people in Telegram channel Invest in cryptos in industries that you’re interested in or passionate about Only ICO your company if the premise of your business has a logical link to blockchain technology Ask yourself: does this need to be on blockchain technology before investing in a crypto Platforms over tokens because tokens can be built on top of the platforms Because cryptocurrency welcomes all kinds, there is a challenge of personalities Look for tokens with high-quality commits on their GitHub repository Make content and the people will come to you because there’s so much online buzz Be careful of the cryptos that aren’t ICO because they aren’t relying The SEC says that 100% of tokens are utility tokens Don’t fake it until you make it; actually make it Experiment often; your ego will tell you that you don’t need to Read Nick Bostrom’s Superintelligence

“Solve the real problems. What are the biggest problems people have? People are depressed, people are anxious, people are broke, people are unhealthy. We need to see more crypto projects in the biomedical industry.” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet)  There are coins other than Bitcoin. But we are continuously bombarded with the latest news about Bitcoin. With its recent falling price, it’s easy to get caught up in the mass hysteria and forget about the bigger applications of blockchain technology. On today’s episode of The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind show, we are taking a moment to revisit some of the other coins in the conversation. From Monero to QDUM to Tron, today’s conversation has us thinking about the many different applications of blockchain technology. And don’t forget! You can also listen to The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind Show on Spotify! Click “Follow” and let me know what you think! “Monero is the most private coin right now. You can’t tell how many people have it. So it will go up.”     (click to tweet) Points to Keep In Mind Siacoin is like the AirBnB of cloud storage Sidechain will make Bitcoin transactions more affordable We need to welcome new people to crypto to activate ‘the network effect’ The downside with Binance is Chinese investigators crack the whip out of nowhere As long as Binance is around, it’s smart to invest in Asian currencies RaiBlocks (XRP) has a $2.4 billion market cap Try to buy when the coin is low volume before it moves sideways Tron (TRX) peaked at $13 billion market cap Trying to be an entertainment ecosystem like YouTube but lacks user base Litecoin announced a partnership with Monero a few days ago Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin are in a public smearing debate Litecoin over Bitcoin Cash because of better press Don’t speculate purely on upside potential As long as Bitcoin is big, Litecoin will be big too Real estate is the biggest market around Focus on the team when making crypto investments Bitcoin Cash moves in the opposite direction of Bitcoin The real trick to diversifying is finding things that are uncorrelated Always go after the unsexy businesses/coins There’s opportunity for influencer coins (ex: A Kim Kardashian coin that fractionalizes access to her brand/TV show) The biggest opportunity in crypto is in the biomedical industry

“Education is the biggest opportunity for crypto. Is Blockchain the catalyst that finally causes change?” - Trevor Koverko (click to tweet) Incentivization doesn’t exist in education. The Board of Education is not incentivized to create engaging systems, teachers aren’t incentivized to go above and beyond, and the students themselves aren’t motivated to push their academic progress. Cryptocurrency could change all of this by decentralizing the powers at hand. Suddenly all parties would operate inside an economic exchange that would promote our youth’s intellectual development. On today’s episode of The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind show, we are joined by Trevor Koverko, the founder and CEO of Polymath. While Trevor has made a killing in the crypto space, his vision for blockchain technology is far beyond a get-rich-quick scheme. The technology behind Polymath removes the barrier of entry for people to create their own security token. He sees the future of crypto as one where flawed infrastructures like the education system can be solved. And don’t forget!

“The promise of a decentralized world is how can we have the same benefits we are used to getting from centralized entities, but in a decentralized way where the power remains in the people.” - Nick Spanos (click to tweet) This past week Bitcoin dropped below $10,000. What do we make of this news? Is it time to panic or is this just the market testing the validity of cryptocurrency again? Regardless of your opinion, the undeniable truth is that non-technical crypto investors are unable to analyze the fundamentals due to lack of relevant information. That is why on today’s episode of The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind show, we are taking a moment to recap the highlights from this week.

“You have to find the right people who can show you the right way.” - Sofia Nikole (click to tweet) You have to start at the beginning. And that’s daunting for someone looking to dive into a field as technically complex as cryptocurrency. If you don’t have a background in computer science, the beginning feels like The Wild West. But, if we don’t accept starting there, then we’ll never start.

“We believe privacy is a basic human right. And if you believe your transactions shouldn’t reveal the balance of your bank account, then Monero is the thing for you.” - Fluffy Pony (click to tweet) When you pay someone with Bitcoin, the recipient can see your balance. This is the unfortunate reality that comes with the public ledger. Crypto criminals can infiltrate the network by garnering payment and seeing net worths to seek out. However, the privacy coins like Monero prevent this from happening by nesting your balance outside of the people’s view. On today’s episode of The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind show, we are joined by Fluffy Pony of Monero to discuss privacy. Monero is a privacy cryptocurrency that protects your balance from others’ view.

“We are down on Verge. The development of Wraith Protocol doesn’t address a public need.” - Alex Cho (click to tweet) Every day a new coin is in the limelight. First, it’s Ripple, then it’s Verge. What will it be next? To stay on top of the ball requires tracking the limelight. In doing this, you will develop a sense of the pattern and know which coin is next on the list before everyone else. On today’s episode of The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind show, we are discussing what to look for inside each token.

“EOS is what’s going to bring around the infrastructure of Blockchain 3.0, the instant and free transactions.” - Reeve Collins (click to tweet) Listen to the CEO of any crypto company. To hold that position right now means you have front-row seats to the cryptocurrency space. With that vantage point comes a special type of information about how the crypto world is moving. We must give that perspective the extra attention it deserves because it’s derived from a place of true personal experience. That is why on today’s episode of The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind show, we are joined by Reeve Collins, Co-Founder and CEO of BLOCKv.

“SALT is the only place you can borrow against your crypto assets to get leverage. This is only the beginning of the tokenization of value.” - Shawn Owen (click to tweet) Every crypto has a unique angle. And it is our job as investors to predict whether or not that angle will be valuable in the future. To accurately do this requires understanding both the micro and macro trends. And when it comes to cryptocurrency, there is no greater macro trend than the fact that Bitcoin and other crypto assets will eventually take over all currency. That is why on today’s episode of The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind show, we are joined by Shawn Owen, Cofounder of SALT. SALT is a lending platform that allows you to borrow money against your crypto assets. It is the only platform of its kind and currently has over $1 billion in demand.

“The promise of a decentralized world is how can we have the same benefits we are used to getting from centralized entities, but in a decentralized way where the power remains in the people.” - Nick Spanos (click to tweet) Blockchain technology is the new Internet. But it’s potential is far greater. By decentralizing systems through the open ledger, we can eliminate trust from human transactions. The individual will become the most enlightened consumer in economic history, and the people will host the power away from the third-party institutions who currently hold it. On today’s episode of The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind show, we are joined by Nick Spanos. He is the Founder of Bitcoin Center 2013 and Former Director of Contract of Ron Paul 2012.

“Siacoin is going to totally remove the need for Amazon web servers while being tons and tons cheaper.” - Jai Bhavani (click to tweet) Crypto investing is not a get-rich-quick play. Contrary to popular belief, to do crypto investing right requires hours of extensive research, education, and commitment. The investor who sweats the most earns the most. This is unlike other markets out there where the sure-fire profitable plays exist. But here, the best crypto investors are the ones who understand the whole landscape. That is why on today’s episode of The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind show, we are taking a moment to recap the highlights from this week. From Amith Nirgunarthy’s wallet advice to Trevor Koverko’s pitch on Polymath to Jai Bhavani’s top alt coins, the range of insight will help us take our crypto investing game to new heights.

Because if you lose it, you’ve lost your Bitcoin.” - Amith Nirgunarthy (click to tweet) Points to Keep In Mind The web initially presented itself in 1994 as a decentralized form of sharing information Bitcoin decentralizes the centrally controlled financial system/institution Make the goal to be able to “invest intelligently” What percentage of your portfolio do you want to allocate to crypto assets Invest a minimum of 1% into crypto assets And a maximum of 10%; these are the early innings Think about how nobody thought about social media in the early days of the Internet Use the wallet that the white paper recommends that you use Use Google Trends to get pulse on public’s perception of certain coins Siacoin aims to decentralize the cloud storage typically offered by Amazon Web Services (AWS) App developers can spend upwards of $5,000/month on cloud storage According to the terms and agreement, AWS can lok through the contents of your storage; Siacoin would negate this 6x cheaper per byte compared to AWS Status is an app store for other apps/cryptos There’s a public key (shorter) and private key (longer) Both are sequences of letters (uppercase and lowercase) + numbers Sometimes represented as QR codes for easier admission Don’t ever show this to another person With Coinbase, you do not control your private key, meaning the government could take away your Bitcoin if they wanted to Toronto is the crypto Silicon Valley; Ethereum was founded in Toronto and made 1,000 millionaires Polymath wants to be the Ethereum for security tokens Removes the barriers for you to create a token Be honest with your token launch; is it a security, utility, or protocol token

“Then I realized this isn’t just a coin. It’s a platform that promises to be bigger than the Web itself.” - Dave Levine (click to tweet)  Don’t invest with your gut instinct. In the long-run, this ‘strategy’ has never produced financial gains. The intelligent and methodical investor is the one who comes out on top. He/she reads books and articles, listens to podcasts, and seeks out mentorship in whatever topic it is that they want to become an expert in. On today’s episode of The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind show, we are joined Dave Levine to talk about how to invest intelligently. With his personal business on autopilot making $14 million/year, Dave has committed his entire life to researching and understanding cryptocurrency. His insights are rooted in fact and will undoubtedly help propel us to make the $700,000 he’s made in the past year investing in cryptocurrency.

“The number one key success factor in crypto is not connections, not intelligence, not money. It’s taking action.” - Trevor Koverko (click to tweet) It’s no secret that money breeds ego. And it’s also no secret that ego clouds your vision. So the question becomes: how do you stay humble while getting rich? In the cryptocurrency space, this is particularly important, as many have come upon instant wealth. Using humility as a filter can help you isolate the true crypto players from the fakes, as their vision will tend to be clearer.   On today’s episode of The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind show, we are joined by Trevor Koverko, the founder and CEO of Polymath. While Trevor has made a fortune in the crypto space, his vision for crypto is beyond the get-rich-quick scheme. The technology behind Polymath removes the barrier of entry for people to create their own security token. He sees the future of crypto as one where things like the education system can be solved.

“Substratum is a coin that I’m very bullish on, especially with the news of Net Neutrality coming out.” - Jai Bhavani (click to tweet) There’s more than just Bitcoin. Each day a new cryptocurrency is released to the public, and much of the crypto discussion is becoming which of these alt coins deserve our attention.

“With your key, do not expose that to anyone or lose it. Because if you lose it, you’ve lost your Bitcoin.” - Amith Nirgunarthy (click to tweet) Don’t let crypto wallets intimidate you. They are just part of the process and can quickly be demystified. Owning cryptocurrency is unlike any other type of ownership because it requires storage inside a public/private key-based wallet. These can be online or physical, and hold the proof of ownership, so you can buy/sell Bitcoin.   On today’s episode of The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind show, we are joined by Amith Nirgunarthy, the Founder and CEO of the cryptocurrency research institution Blockstreet.

“There are 3 things I need to understand. Does the token address a market need? Is there a big market opportunity? And is there adoption?” - Alex Cho (click to tweet) Do your due diligence. Reading the white paper, learning about the management team, understanding the distribution; these are the things we must do before investing in a token.

“Is the person successful? You always want to ask that first.” - Dave Levine (click to tweet) Cryptocurrency is confusing. That’s why we seek the opinions of experts. Those most knowledgeable and closest to the action are able to take take their vantage point and distill it into the wisdom and insight we can absorb. But knowing who are pure sources of knowledge and who are the phonies is what separates the great self-educator from the average. So today, on The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind show, we are discussing what makes a Bitcoin expert and who can we seek out for advice and opinion.

“Platforms gain more value than individual companies operating on top of the platform. You’re investing in the base-layer.” (click to tweet) Is Bitcoin crashing?  What was once at $18,000 is now hovering around the $12,000 marker. Is it time to get out or double-down? What can we take away from this drop in price? To answer that question most accurately requires continuing to pursue your cryptocurrency education. That is why on today’s episode of The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind show, we are taking a moment to recap the highlights from this week. From discussing Facebook’s viability as a blockchain technology to learning about small but promising coins like Nimiq from Amith Nirgunarthy, this week’s crypto conversation will shed light on Bitcoin’s falling price.

“Read the distribution mechanism in the white paper because you don’t know how much dilution you might experience with new token issuances down the road.” (click to tweet) The white paper is everything. It distills the complex world of cryptocurrency into layman’s terms. Without it, we are just as lost as the next non-techie. But with it, we are able to learn the technology in a way that empowers us to hold our own inside conversations with crypto technologists. On today’s episode of The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind show, we are discussing two points we must look for when we read a crypto’s white paper. First is the token distribution mechanism; how will dilution work when new tokens are issued? And the second is: what are the project milestones and what is the company’s progress to reaching them?

“EOS is Ethereum on steroids. That’s not what it stands for, but it is Ethereum on steroids.” - Amith Nirgunarthy (click to tweet) Delegated Proof of Stake (DPOS) is the future. Its technology enables the network to operate more flexibly and efficiently than any other consensus model out there. It is only a matter of time until all cryptos are forced to move to this type of network, and that is why we must focus our attention to coins that are built on top of the DPOS model. Today, on The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind show, we are joined by Amith Nirgunarthy to discuss EOS and his other favorite, Nimiq. Amith is the Founder and CEO of the cryptocurrency research institution Blockstreet. He is also the former Director of Marketing of Bitcoin IRA.

“Platforms gain more value than individual companies operating on top of the platform. You’re investing in the base-layer.” (click to tweet) There is no crypto so unanimously loved like Ethereum. And that makes sense. Its technology enables other crypto developers to build networks on top of it. It is the power source behind so many of the cryptos we see today, and for that reason, it can be regarded as a type of mutual fund investment. If an Ethereum-based crypto is doing well, then that means Ethereum is doing well. Today, on The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind show, we are joined by Dave Levine. Dave is an expert at detecting which coins deserve our attention.
