Investing Smarter, Not Harder
Alright, let me hit you with a thought.
We, humans, exert so much effort to figure out what stocks are worth.
I mean...
The brightest brains on earth have busted their chops to achieve stellar GPAs. Earning millions yearly. Trained by successful traders. Enjoying expansive support. Pulling in even more millions if they outperform the benchmark.
And you think you've got an edge betting on Apple's earnings or Tesla's funky new truck launch?
We're not cut out to play that game and win.

Well, maybe you are. But I certainly ain't.
I can stay 5 minutes into an ice bath and tell a few jokes in broken English…
Luckily, we don't need to play in the big leagues.
Enter the world of crypto.
In 2021, Sina Estavi shelled out a whopping $2.9 million for an NFT version of Jack Dorsey's first tweet. Now it's up for grabs, with the best offer sitting at a laughable $1200 (you can check on opensea).

It’s not even called twitter anymore…
Celebrity hustler Gary V forked out $5.9 million for this... gem.

Try to flip this in a garage sell…
Now similar punks are trading for around $100k. Talk about a kick in the guts.
I could go on, but here's the takeaway.
Stock investors? Calculated, spreadsheet-driven, and always thinking about future cashflows.
Crypto enthusiasts? Emotional, their identity entwined with the lottery ticket outcome.
And the average crypto investor? About as bright as a dimly-lit room. But guess what... that's not a bug. That's a feature. 😂
These inefficient new markets are a gold mine.
Why? Because your competition is about as sharp as a bowling ball.
Which means the market is yours for the taking.
For the first time in roughly 40 years, the little guy can get a fair go (as we Aussies like to say).
But who actually wants to wade through the muddy waters of crypto themselves?
Some days, I feel like I need to scrub twice to wash off the stench of the crypto markets.
But now, it's a whole different ball game.
I made trends following the core of my trading strategy. The algo buys what's going up and sells what’s on a nosedive.
It sounds nuts, but it's proven successful in every market for centuries.
If ten people or more comment on this post, I will do a masterclass to present it to you.
Antoine.
