Alert: Taking Profits and Selling

By Adam Sharp on February 19, 2021

Deciding when to take profits in crypto is extremely difficult. Based on past bull markets, we likely still have at least a year to go before things cool off (and probably more based on the unprecedented deficits and money printing today). But I think it would be borderline irresponsible to not take some profits here. We’ve had quite a run in just about everything in our portfolio.  Of course — as I…

Bitcoin Shows Strength After Correction

By Adam Sharp on February 5, 2021

It appears that the crypto correction is over for now, but I’m glad it happened. We did need to slow down a bit after bitcoin shot practically straight up from $20k to $40k, and altcoins soared. Those kinds of moves are unsustainable in the short term. So it’s…

Bitcoin vs. Altcoins: A Lopsided Battle

By Adam Sharp on January 15, 2021

Investors often ask me why I focus so much on bitcoin instead of altcoins. I get why people ask this question. Bitcoin is already huge. And many investors assume they’ve already missed the boat, so they want to find the next bitcoin. …

2020 Turned Into a Great Year for Crypto

By Adam Sharp on December 31, 2020

It’s been an amazing year in crypto! We had a nasty dip in the spring — followed by a roaring comeback once people realized crypto was created for these economic times (massive money printing and even lower interest rates).  Things are truly starting to get interesting…
