Dear Reader, In the crypto world, we refer to arguments against bitcoin and other digital currencies as FUD. ‘Fear, uncertainty and doubt’. Each time a new piece of FUD takes hold, the mainstream media jumps on it to say this is the end of bitcoin. But countertrading FUD has actually been the best trade of the decade… There’s no doubt FUD attacks have hurt the Bitcoin [BTC] price in the short term. The BTC price is notoriously volatile and it’s hard for the average investor to make good decisions in the heat of the moment. Many buy in when it shoots higher, and sell when it plummets lower. And yet, if you zoom out a bit, you can see that bitcoin always comes out more resilient:

Over time, you can see how the last cycle’s ‘boom and bust’ ends up as a mere blip. I personally had to endure a two-year bear market between 2014 and 2016, with an 80%-plus fall in BTC’s value, before seeing any gains on my initial stake. You can hardly see that ‘scary time’ on the chart now! The fact is, despite the odds being heavily stacked against it — an entire system of grifters, middlemen and leaners who are gaming the system of money in their favour — bitcoin is now a serious alternative. And in turn, a threat to the fiat gravy train. The disruption in the crypto markets recently presents you with some intriguing investment opportunities. And I’m not just talking about buying discounted cryptos. Whole other avenues of wealth creation have just opened up, too. To find out what they are, watch this. Regards, Ryan Dinse,
