Investing in Crypto is Harder Than Ever, But Still Worth It

Outside of stacking Bitcoin, crypto is back to being the Wild West!

It seems like every day there's a new headline about an attack draining millions from a protocol.

You heard last week Binance got hacked. And the same day Polymarket got hit. And if it's not a new hack, there are frequent scams and rug pullshappeneing.

It's hard to stomach. ANd I understand why so many people have given up on crypto.

Even with all the insanity, I think it's still worth putting up with the craziness. So I've continued to test and tweak BC25 Defender and I'm still investing in Bitcoin and a few other "blue chips."

And that is the key. Although there are millions of memecoins still being created every week, 99.9% of them are utterly useless and will never amount to anything.

But that doesn't mean they're all worthless. There are some projects that are more valuable than ever.

The problem is there are still many, many people wasting money investing in memecoins… or creating them in hopes of hitting the next top 100 coin.

But the chance of finding a viral memecoin is far worse than the odds of winning the lottery. If I had to choose between the two, I'd play the lottery.

Garbage can with the words, "99.9% of crypto is garbage!"

Despite all the nonsense in crypto these days, I think we're on the verge of the biggest opportunity where an average investor can still make massive gains if they invest in the right cryptos. Yes even with the political turmoi;that directly affects the crypto industry.

But in order to capitalize on what's coming, you have to invest in the right "blue chips" like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and a handful of other coins that are actually useful.

But you also have to know when to get in, when to get out, and not do so emotionally. You probably know, that's much harder than it sounds.

That's why I built Bluechip 25 Defender Index (BC25) and that's why I keep improving it and bringing it closer to its release on Base.
