The Investment Truth I Must Confess to You
I have a confession to make. A recent YouTube comment got me thinking:

No worries, I am going to translate
Someone was saying that it’s hard to invest in crypto as they all went down.
And it’s a bit my fault. I've been a bit vague about the reality of investing.
Investments are often depicted like this:

That’s my representation of Bitcoin.
It's climbed quite a bit.
Just for reference, Bitcoin averages about a +75% gain per year.
Now, let's add another dimension that changes everything:

I don't know about you, but my mind stays stuck on the highest point, here at 60K, and thinks it lost 50%.
But if we look at the whole picture, from start to finish, it's a massive increase.
So why does our brain trick us?
Probably because of its age-old survival instinct.
The good news? There's a strategy to take advantage of these fluctuations: trend following.
And this strategy becomes even more effective when there's uncertainty.
I'll talk about all of this in detail in an upcoming Masterclass.

This is the biggest lesson I've learned over the last 12 months. And yet, it's been around for over 20 years!
It just goes to show it's never too late to learn…
See you there live!
