He emphasizes patience, discipline, and maintaining liquidity to capitalize on market crashes. ### Key Points - **Market Always Offers Opportunities** [00:31] — The market always provides opportunities; the mistake is thinking it's your last chance to buy, leading to FOMO and buying at all-time highs. Patience is key. - **Bitcoin Crash Example** [01:15] — Bitcoin hit an all-time high of $126,000, then dropped ~30% to $88,000-$90,000. He bought there, but later it fell to $62,000, which he couldn't take full advantage of due to lack of liquidity. - **Altcoins Absorb Liquidity** [02:38] — Most altcoins are designed to absorb market liquidity during euphoria, not to grow long-term. They rise quickly but fall faster; if you don't sell in time, they may never recover. - **Two Portfolios Strategy** [03:39] — He holds a long-term portfolio with Bitcoin and BNB, and a trading portfolio with other altcoins. He shows losses in the trading portfolio, illustrating the risk of not selling during euphoria. - **Bitcoin DCA Strategy** [05:26] — His first Bitcoin investment on March 23, 2020, is up nearly 1000%. He advocates for regular, consistent DCA purchases in Bitcoin, avoiding the need to predict the market. - **DCA Example** [06:23] — Investing $1,000 monthly for 4 years ($50,000 total) would now be worth $87,000, a 75% profit, accumulating 1.24 BTC. Early on, it was negative but recovered over time. - **Always Keep Liquidity** [09:07] — Besides DCA, always have cash on hand to buy during crashes, which happen every 2-3 years. The problem isn't Bitcoin falling, but not having money to buy. ### Conclusion The key to successful crypto investing is patience, discipline, and liquidity. The market always offers opportunities, altcoins are risky, and a simple Bitcoin DCA strategy can yield excellent long-term results. ## Transcript investing in crypto in approximately 10 minutes. This isn't going to be a " Look how great I am" video; this is a video to honestly and transparently share the things I've done well and the things I've done wrong. To make this easy to understand and apply, I have summarized it in three points. If you can understand them and, above all, apply them, they will save you a lot of mistakes and money. Let's begin. The first thing I want to share with you is that the market want to share with you is that the market always offers opportunities. The mistake is thinking that this might be your last chance to buy. This is where the anxiety begins. You see the price go up every day. Everyone's talking about it and you feel that fear of being left out. Your head tells you, "If you don't buy today, it's never going to go down again." And because of that pressure, that FOMO, you end up buying high, just when it's at all-time highs . You buy at all- time highs and months later you watch your investment fall by 30, 40 or even 50%. That's where regret comes in. You start thinking, "If I had waited a little longer, with the same money, I could have bought twice as much." The solution is to be patient and understand that the market always offers opportunities. Let me recent months, when Bitcoin was at its all-time high of $126,000 and then took a sharp drop, I think it was about 30%, which was here in the $88,000 to $90,000 range. I saw a lot of selling, negative news, people were scared, and it seemed like a good area to buy, so at these points, between $8,000 and $90,000, I invested a significant amount of money. But guess what? The market offered another opportunity to buy even lower around here for $62,000. The problem is that I didn't take advantage of this sharp drop as much as I would have liked because I no longer had the liquidity to invest, or at least not the same amount. In fact, if I hadn't understood what I'm telling you, I would easily have bought here at all-time highs . But fortunately I already understood this point that the market always gives opportunities and although I did n't buy here at 62 when it fell, I still entered at a good point, but I could have entered at an even better point. It's not that there aren't opportunities, but sometimes we're not patient enough to wait for them. The second point I want to share with you is that altcoins are designed to absorb market liquidity. The mistake many people make is thinking that most altcoins are designed to grow in the long term. During periods of euphoria, hundreds of new projects appear with very aggressive marketing and enormous promises. They make you think you're getting an early start on a revolutionary project that will change the world. The consequence is that many of these alcoins rise quickly, but fall even faster. If you don't sell in time, you'll be left with alcoins that will probably never return to their all-time high. The solution is not to demonize alcoins, but to understand what they are designed for today. Most altcoins are designed to absorb liquidity during times of euphoria, not to build up over years, or at least that's how they work today. And when one refers to altcoins, one is referring to , except for Bitcoin, the alternative cryptocurrencies. During the cryptocurrencies, I currently have two portfolios. One of the cryptocurrencies is very long-term, where I currently hold Bitcoin and BNB. They are the only two that I don't plan to sell for a good while. And I also have a portfolio with several other cryptocurrencies that I buy and try to sell at some point, but of course, I don't always manage to sell them. And here I show you this portfolio to illustrate this point. All these cryptocurrencies you see here are cryptocurrencies in which I have currently lost a lot of money if I were to sell them today. And to give you an idea, this is the amount of money I've lost if I sell today. And this is the percentage. I already know how this game works when Bitcoin is going up. Some other cryptocurrencies rise along with it, some even a little more. But when Bitcoin falls and experiences a sharp drop, other cryptocurrencies fall much more. Ideally, these altcoins should be sold when Bitcoin is at all-time highs. I sold some of them, like Solana and a few others, but I didn't manage to sell most of them. So if you decide to play this altcoin game, you need to be quite clear about something. If you don't sell during the euphoria, you probably won't have a real opportunity to sell for a profit afterwards, because in recent years altcoins have simply been designed for that, to absorb liquidity from the market. So be careful, because if you're going to play this game, you need to know that if you don't sell, you'll probably be left with a bunch of projects that we don't know if they'll ever come back. After understanding how the market works and how altcoins work, there is one conclusion I always come back to. In Bitcoin, less is more. Not everyone wants to be chasing projects, narratives, or cycles of euphoria, and that's okay. That's why I want to show you something very specific. This was my first investment in Bitcoin on March 23, 2020. Many years have passed since then . Bitcoin has had sharp drops, moments of fear, moments of euphoria, and yet this investment is still close to 1000% up. If you don't want to complicate your life, one of the best strategies is still something very simple: doing DCA in Bitcoin. You invest regularly in amounts that make you feel comfortable without trying to predict the market. You don't need to be an expert, you don't need to be glued to a screen, you don't need to be hunting for gems, you just need to be disciplined and consistent. Here's an example. If you had invested, let's say, a monthly amount that you feel comfortable with, let's say 1,000 pesos or $1,000, whatever you want. And let's say we started this investment in the last 4 years. By investing this amount, you would have invested $50,000 of your own money. That investment would have a value of 87,000 and investment would have a value of 87,000 and a profit of 75%; with $37,000 you would have accumulated 1.24 of Bitcoin. But this investment didn't always yield profits. For the first few months, this investment would have even been negative. At this point, for example, you would have already invested around $10,000, but your investment would be worth $6,400. But at some point this investment found its balance and over time it has yielded very good results. In fact, in recent months I have started a public portfolio with this strategy. What I'm doing is October 17th, the second on November 2nd, and so on between the 2nd and the 1st of each month. I consistently make a purchase of $1,000, no matter how much Bitcoin costs at that time. And I know that this portfolio, looking at the history of how over time, as the years go by, it will give me very good benefits. It is true that today, of the $5,000 I true that today, of the $5,000 I have put in, I have invested $3,800, I am 11.17 down, or 23%. But this portfolio also went down at one point and will eventually recover. And if you want to buy Bitcoin, you can do so through a platform like our sponsor of this video; this is a crypto platform with a global presence, regulated in Switzerland, Argentina, and the European Union. Here you can buy Bitcoin or other digital assets with a plastic card, bank transfer, or using crypto you already own. Or you can also buy a bank that basically works like a cryptocurrency investment basket . Instead of buying cryptocurrencies one by one, chasing the hype, here you invest in a group of assets already selected for you. Another product that requires no investment is Cloud Miner, a service with which you can earn Bitcoin for free. When you create your account, you receive sparks that you use to activate mining blocks. After a few minutes you press them and watch as your amount of chis increases. You can also level up to earn more. At level one you can earn up to $3 per month and at level 80 up to $160. I'll leave the official Youler link in the leave the official Youler link in the description. And if you use the code INGr50 before creating your account, you'll receive 50 extra sparkles completely free. With them you can mine more blocks and earn more Bitcoin from day one. Returning to the main topic, apart from making DSA purchases, another very important point is to always have liquidity. Aside from the SA purchases I make monthly, I always try to have some money on hand for when the market crashes, because as we saw at the beginning of the video, the market always offers opportunities, and these kinds of big crashes that Bitcoin occasionally experiences, which happen every two or three years, are what make the difference. The problem isn't that Bitcoin is falling, but not having the money to buy it. After what we've seen in this video, the lesson is very clear to me. The first thing is that the market always offers opportunities, but only to people who are patient, who have the discipline to wait and also the liquidity to buy. The second point is that altcoins are not for everyone. Understanding how they work today and the timing is what makes the difference between selling at a profit and getting trapped. And if you don't want to complicate things, a simple strategy focused on Bitcoin has proven to yield very good results.
