Why Blockchain Technology Has Your Best Interest In Mind

“If you know what you don’t know, it’s better than not knowing what you don’t know.” - Dave Levine (click to tweet) Don’t be attached to your ideas. In a field like cryptocurrency, this will close you off to new information, preventing you from absorbing the knowledge of others. While an initial spike in your portfolio may have you feeling invincible with your investment thesis, it’s always important to stay open to outside education. That’s why on today’s episode of The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind show we are joined by Dave Levine to talk about many things crypto-related, particularly the value in Ethereum. Dave has committed his entire life to researching and understanding which coins deserve our attention.

Receding hairline? Go to forhims.com/tai to turn it around with your $5 trial! “You have to ask yourself, ‘Fundamentally, do I think the concept of blockchain and cryptocurrency will survive?’ And if you do, then the rest is all noise and nonsense.” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) An informed opinion is rare. Most of us spend our lives firing from the hip, making decisions based off word-of-mouth or emotional chatter. Rarely do we sit down and take the time to research a subject, connecting the dots of fact inside our own heads. However, when we begin to do this, we start to make more nuanced investment decisions that not only provide higher returns but also a calmer peace of mind. On today’s episode of The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind Show, we are discussing the value of an informed opinion in the cryptocurrency space. Compared to other investment sectors, cryptocurrency has a particularly high level of noise. This makes it especially important to separate yourself from the chatter to conduct your own research and form your own opinion.

$100 Million Investment: What An Informed Opinion Can Offer You

“In a way, ICOs are an evolution of crowdfunding. But they’re allowing for immediate liquidity.”   (click to tweet) Is the company actually utilizing the blockchain? Or, are they just placing it in front of a pre-existing business model? Questions like this cut through the marketing noise found in most cryptocurrencies and tap into the core of the technology. When a cryptocurrency integrates blockchain technology in a way that has everyone benefiting in the network, it is worth your investment. On today’s episode of The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind Show, we are joined by a panel of experts to discuss the many different factors to consider when evaluating a cryptocurrency.

The 5 Questions You Must Ask Before Investing In A Cryptocurrency

“Cryptocurrency shouldn’t feel shady. It shouldn’t overwhelm people. It shouldn’t feel like, “God, I can’t figure this out.”   (click to tweet) The projects with the greatest hype are the ones you must stay away from. This might sound counterintuitive; you’ve been given advice to invest in the coins with attention and news headlines because crypto is an emotional market. But the teams behind those tokens are spending their resources on marketing, not technology.  And if the coin doesn’t have the technology to back up the hype, then it will ultimately drain your investment portfolio of any profit. On today’s episode of The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind Show, we are joined by a panel of experts to discuss all things related to cryptocurrency. From discussing the value of Telegram communities to the nature of financial markets, this discussion touches on every aspect of blockchain technology and cryptocurrency.

Why Only 1% Of The 1400 Cryptocurrencies Deserve Your Attention

“The real good, intelligent marketers have singled in on that key word that differentiates the coin.” (click to tweet) Cryptocurrency is a technically driven industry. But the marketing is equally, if not more, important. Without a compelling story, your coin will blend into the hundreds of other coins being developed. This is why if you’re starting a company on the blockchain, you must give equal consideration to the branding of your ICO as you do the technology. On today’s episode of The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind Show, we are joined by multiple marketing experts to discuss the marketing strategies in the cryptocurrency space. From Neil Patel to Chris Sacca, these speakers cover everything from how to market your ICO to what your coin’s name should be.

Everytime you make a PayPal transaction, 600 different parties can see your data Always try to have a unique story when marketing your ICO Try not to only accept investment from people who can also provide value Read Nick Bostrom’s  Superintelligence 3 types of artificial intelligence: cyborgs, supercomputers, and collaborative intelligence All problems can be solved by collaborative intelligence If you give people value, they will come back for more Try to create a product to show investors Keep it simple and stupid when marketing your ICO When evaluating a problem, ask yourself if it’s something you wake up frustrated about Look at pre-existing businesses to adapt to the blockchain Know your audience Everything in life comes down to problem and solution Don’t fake it until it you make it; actually make it Make content and the people will come to you because there’s so much online buzz Be careful of the cryptos that aren’t ICO because they aren’t relying The SEC says that 100% of tokens are utility tokens Don’t fake it until you make it; actually make it Experiment often; your ego will tell you that you don’t need to

Why 3 Words For Your Coin Is 2 Points of Failure: The Rules of ICO Branding

“Crypto has ignited a movement where everyone is an expert. I’m worried it’s descending into a massive cult.” - Tai Lopez     (click to tweet)  600 different different parties are alerted with each PayPal transaction. This is the flaw in the modern banking system. Your most personal information is exposed to that many people instantly and without your knowledge. In a blockchain network, however, your assets are cryptically held safe amongst other users. This is why privacy is the most important piece of criteria to evaluate when judging a coin. On today’s episode of The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind Show, we are joined by crypto-expert Jacob to walk through the top coins right now. With Bitcoin’s price hovering around $7,000, it’s easy to focus on that and lose sight of all the other major technologies being developed. But when you start to evaluate privacy, you’ll learn about the newest coins in the market. Tune in to take your investment portfolio to the next level by introducing privacy coins! And don’t forget!

Crypto Investing 101: Why Your Privacy Matters More Than Anything Else

“The fact that crypto has come in as an alternative puts pressure on the mainstream Federal Reserve and banks to do a better job.” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) There are 7.4 billion people on planet earth. And that number is only continuing to grow. Population predictions have the world at 9.8 billion by 2050 and 11.2 billion by 2100. What this means for blockchain technology is more people in the networks and more brain processing power for whatever problem the technology is trying to solve. On today’s episode of The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind show, we are discussing the current state of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. At its core, blockchain technology is a type of artificial intelligence (collaborative), so we take most of today’s discussion to discuss just what is at the core of the human experience. By dissecting it to this level, we can extrapolate the features A.I. and blockchain must integrate to create a collaborative intelligence that harnesses the power of all 7.4 billion people on planet earth.

The Power of 7.4 Billion People: Why Blockchain Technology is the Best Artificial Intelligence

“The number one key success factor in crypto is not connections, not intelligence, not money. It’s taking action.” - Trevor Koverko (click to tweet) It’s no secret that money breeds ego. And it’s also no secret that ego clouds your vision. So the question becomes: how do you stay humble while getting rich? In the cryptocurrency space, this is particularly important, as many have come upon instant wealth. Using humility as a filter can help you isolate the true crypto players from the fakes, as their vision will tend to be clearer. On today’s episode of The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind show, we are joined by Trevor Koverko, the founder and CEO of Polymath. While Trevor has made a fortune in the crypto space, his vision for crypto is beyond the get-rich-quick scheme. The technology behind Polymath removes the barrier of entry for people to create their own security token. He sees the future of crypto as one where things like the education system can be solved. “The trick is to find a vertical, find out who is the leader in that vertical, and then bet on them.” - Trevor Koverko (click to tweet) Points to Keep In Mind  To be successful in business/crypto requires being good at 2 things: fundraising and hiring Toronto is the crypto Silicon Valley; Ethereum was founded in Toronto and made 1,000 millionaires Polymath wants to be the Ethereum for security tokens   Removes the barriers for you to create a token   Look at app stores to see how many blockchains the market can handle (2) Evaluate the team when researching a token Litecoin is the petri dish to see what technology is successfully experimenting Beware of the cult-followers inside the cryptocurrency Research Neil Patel’s Capitvate to see decentralized peer-to-peer audience exchange Check out Aion for a technology that allows blockchains to talk to each other Those who took action have risen with the tide of crypto Most of the things that are fixable in our lives are people problems Education is the biggest opportunity for crypto Try to surround yourself with the humble crypto players Crypto is a great way to gain capital for you to run your business

“One of my mentors told me, “Never be the first or last to try a new idea.” If you’re first, you might get burned. And if you’re last, you’ve missed the trend.” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Your idea is useless if nobody knows about it. And in a space like cryptocurrency where there is so much noise and competition, marketing becomes of utmost importance. If you don’t take your marketing seriously, you will implement outdated philosophies and get lost in the crowd with the rest of the players. On today’s episode of The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind show, we are discussing how to market your crypto ideas. While many thing it’s just the white paper and website, there are many other marketing avenues for crypto technologies.

“2018 will be the year of the privacy coin because people want anonymity.” - Howard Marks (click to tweet) The whole purpose of cryptocurrency is to move away from the government. But as the crypto space grows, we are starting to see corruption grow. With 70-80% of all crypto transactions happening in Asia, many of which are the products of bot-farms, artificially generated price inflation is becoming a reason for concern. On today’s episode of The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind show, we are joined by Chris Smith, Howard Marks, and Alex Mehr to discuss the intricacies of the crypto space. Howard is the co-founder of Activision and founder of Start Engine LA, and Alex is the CEO and Founder of Mentorbox and former CEO of Zoosk, an online dating platform with over $1 billion in sales.

Why Your Crypto Portfolio Might Want Government Regulation

“What if we had a rational currency where nobody or no government could print more? That was the basis of Bitcoin.”   (click to tweet)  Blockchain will save the world. We hear this a lot in our crypto conversations. The overeager blockchain enthusiast is quick to say that every problem will be solved by this technology. Whether or not that’s true is beside the point; what we do know is that the blockchain will continue to cheapen the cost of financial transactions, saving both you and the whole world money.

Why Blockchain Will Save You and The World Money

“Develop the tools and technology to empower people to be in control of their lives.” - Anthony Diiorio (click to tweet) A racing mind can’t innovate. If your inner monologue is constantly leapfrogging from thought to thought, how will it ever cut beneath the surface? Counterintuitively, a slow mind is much more capable than a fast mind. It has the ability to pierce through the noise because it’s undistracted by it. On today’s episode of The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind show, we are joined by Anthony Diiorio, a cofounder of Ethereum, and also the CEO & Founder of Decentral & Jaxx.

“The paradigm is shifting where Google and Facebook won’t control your identity. You will decide how it’s monetized.” - Anthony Diiorio (click to tweet) A passion for cryptocurrency is a passion for truth. So much is behind closed doors in the fiat currency model. The national governments can print more money whenever they want, putting the surplus into circulation to create inflation. With cryptocurrency, the entire network of transactions is exposed. And someone who has a passion for this model has a passion for truth.

“Crypto is one of those rare situations where you want to risk more than you’re generally comfortable with.” - Dan Fleyshman (click to tweet) To understand cryptocurrency means understanding all aspects related to it. So when someone asks you what the blockchain is, you should have as thorough of an answer as which coins to invest in. How you obtain this thorough education is through continued self-education.

“Proof-of-stake is where you stake your coins in the validation in the network.” - Jeremy Gardner (click to tweet) Mining isn’t as complicated as people make it out to be. With each Bitcoin transaction, miners are given the data they need to validate the exchange. After completing the necessary math, they can approve or validate the flow of Bitcoin. There are different models of how this works: proof-of-stake, proof-of-work, and delegated proof-of-stake. On today’s episode of The Tai Lopez Show, we are joined by Jeremy Gardner, founder of the decentralized prediction blockchain Augur, to talk about the proof-of-stake model. At a market-cap of $300 million, Augur is said to be the most undervalued crypto-project in Silicon Valley.
