I’ve been reading the comments from my readers, and my followers on Twitter very closely. And the most common issue some of you have mentioned is “not enough money” or “I wish I had invested x amount of dollars back when it was only a couple cents.” Again, no one starts out with a huge sum of money, and not everyone gets to jump onto a bull market rally early enough to generate investment returns that are extraordinary. The media propagates the myth that you needed to be an early investor into Bitcoin to make a killing, and now they’re busy reporting on the successes of early investors, that drives a cycle of flawed reasoning that leads to the conclusion, “since I didn’t invest into bitcoin five years ago, I won’t get rich from investing into cryptocurrency.” It’s sort of like the mythical narrative of, “if I wasn’t born rich, I won’t be rich.” Again, many millionaires are first-generation, and they got rich by accumulating assets slowly, limiting expenses and investing consistently. Not that I’m trying to rehash a discussion from a book that was published in the 1990s (The Millionaire Next Door), because I’m not a huge believer in just save and invest, as there are tons of paths to riches, and the one most unique to your own path could be different from the one described in the book. Many of you are looking for a quick way to get rich from cryptocurrency, or virtually anything you put your mind or resources into. Again, I’m not trying to criticize you, because it’s a natural human tendency that drives intrinsically motivated behavior, and when the results fail to materialize overnight, many throw in the towel and give up. However, earning easy money by investing early is not a real strategy. I mean, there are professionals that focus exclusively on early-stage investment opportunities, i.e. Venture Capitalists, and if you look at the statistical returns from that activity, it’s performed worse than the S&P 500 for many consecutive years. It’s not the case that investing into early-stage opportunities always performs better, or you’d need to be a walking Nostradamus either. Keep in mind, that investing into cryptocurrency follows the same repeatable process that works in various other asset categories. Allocate a meaningful percentage of your budget to investments every month, i.e. defer your spending, and prioritize accumulation of appreciating vehicles, or income producing vehicles. Invest into quality assets before investing into speculative assets that are more volatile, i.e. buy what has an established pattern of growing in value. Ignore the day-to-day market moves, and keep accumulating a position in an asset every single month, because you’re not going to start with a lump-sum amount. I’m not saying you’ll get rich overnight, but the power of compounding paired with consistent contribution is an attainable strategy for the clear majority who are not rich. Why? Because, if you maintain a consistent investment schedule rather than on your ability to make consistent wins from day trades, the probability of success goes up considerably. A small fraction (according to various academic papers) have a definitive advantage when day trading regardless of methodology, information arbitrage and so forth. However, if you keep adding to your base capital, and invest each month into a sustainable crypto project, your strategy is dependent more on your ability to maintain an investment schedule rather than your win/loss record. I.E. even if bitcoin only appreciates by 100% each year, and you keep adding $1,500 to your investment account every single month, and did this for three-years you would have $200,000. Now, keep in mind, bitcoin has historically performed better than this, but even in a conservative scenario of investing $54,000 spread over three years, after investing $1,500/month, you would walk away with $200,000, i.e. 4x your initial capital outlay. That’s not Lil Wayne money, or big baller money, but setting aside $1,500/month is attainable if you go back to the budgeting part of your equation, and prioritizing investment over spending even if it means spending $1,500 less on extraneous activities in favor of investing consistently into an account that could grow to 4x its value spread over 3-years. Chances are Bitcoin and various crypto assets could perform better than this (bitcoin went up 3,000% in 2017), but even the conservative illustration shows you the potential of discipline over a well-tuned trading strategy. Furthermore, many of you have obligations and time constraints that limit your ability to actively trade in the market, much less time trades. So, if you can reflect on yourself, and utilize a strategy that’s best suited to meet your lifestyle, I genuinely believe you will get much further ahead.
