2022 has been marked by one of crypto’s most challenging bear markets. Countless companies have filed for bankruptcy, including FTX, one of the biggest crypto exchanges in the world.

But this isn't the first time the industry has faced challenges. From the collapse of Mt Gox, to the end of ICO mania, to the sharp crash on Black Thursday 2020, I lived through several crypto cycles, and this is just another year where the market purges bad actors from the industry. There will probably never be a better time to get involved in the digital asset industry than now. Closer than ever to mass adoption, yet priced like it was still 2017.

If you are able to position yourself correctly right now, the upside can be enormous once the next bull market starts. I, personally, will use this opportunity to position my firm in a way to make us the biggest crypto fund in the world in the next 5 years. The bear market is when you build. It’s when you learn. It’s when you prepare yourself for that 18 month stretch of life changing opportunity that a bull market provides. In Crypto Academy, you will learn from me directly, how I view the markets, how I identify opportunities, and how I ultimately play them for the best risk adjusted return. This will be my final year in the teacher seat, and I hope to see you on our next call.
