Cosmos Takes Off Despite Crypto Market Correction

By Adam Sharp on January 7, 2022

Most of the crypto market has had a pretty rough week. Bitcoin’s down around 12%. Ethereum is down 15%. And a lot of altcoins are down 20% to 30%. However, our new portfolio pick Cosmos (ATOM) is taking off. It’s up 31% over the last week! There is a ton of excitement building around the Cosmos ecosystem. Many of the top influencers I follow on Twitter are now extremely bullish on Cosmos.  I would…

Separating Signal and Noise in Crypto Markets

By Adam Sharp on December 10, 2021

Back in September, I wrote a piece called “Beware the Cardano Price Mirage.” In it, I warned that “cheap” tokens like Cardano (ADA) aren’t actually cheap at all. Here’s an excerpt: So although Cardano does currently trade at “just”…

Bitcoin Hasn’t Reached Its Peak Yet

By Adam Sharp on December 3, 2021

Bitcoin has pulled back significantly, but I still think we’re in a long-term uptrend. I just don’t believe this cycle has peaked yet. With a high of $69,000 so far this year, we’re only up about 3.5x from the 2017 cycle high of around $20,000.  In…

Investors Overreact to Crypto Dips

By Adam Sharp on November 19, 2021

Bitcoin and DeFi (decentralized finance) tokens have been on an absolute tear over the last year. One year ago today, bitcoin’s price was around $18,600. Today it’s above $58,000. Ethereum was around $500 this time last year, and it’s over $4,000 today. Solana (SOL) is up…

How to Time a Crypto Exit

By Adam Sharp on November 12, 2021

I am a long-term investor. I make investments while expecting to hold them for at least 10 years.  But I do plan on selling some crypto during this bull market at some point. I may sell as much as half.  But I don’t think…

Layer One Ethereum Competitor Performing Well

By Adam Sharp on October 29, 2021

Layer one blockchains competing with ethereum have been on FIRE, especially Solana (SOL). One of our portfolio coins falls in that blockchain category, and it’s been doing extremely well too. In fact, it’s been doing well enough that some of you might be thinking about taking profits.

Bitcoin Poised for More All Time Highs

By Adam Sharp on October 22, 2021

Bitcoin has pulled back from the all-time-high of around $67,000 it reached earlier this week. But it’s still looking great at around $60,000.  A pullback here is actually quite healthy. We don’t want it to go up vertically. Parabolic (near vertical) moves inevitably correct hard. Steady…

Bitcoin Keeps Outperforming Altcoins

By Adam Sharp on October 15, 2021

Bitcoin continues to perform well against altcoins, after lagging significantly earlier in the year.  It’s hard to say how altcoins will react if bitcoin goes above $100,000. They may soar higher right along with it. Or they may struggle for attention in the face of a…

Why You Should Avoid Crypto Trading

By Adam Sharp on October 8, 2021

Almost everyone I know in the crypto community considers themselves a “trader.” Not an investor, a trader. They try to time the market, often using leverage. A lot of people assume that trading is the path to riches.

By Adam Sharp on September 24, 2021

This week I struck up a conversation with another parent at my kid’s tennis lesson. The topic of cryptocurrency came up. This gentleman — whom we’ll call Bill — told me that he likes Cardano (ADA) and Dogecoin (DOGE) because they’re so much cheaper than bitcoin…

The Dark Side of NFTs

By Adam Sharp on September 17, 2021

A few weeks ago, I wrote a piece about how NFTs (non-fungible tokens) are the perfect viral asset. NFTs have a lot of interesting characteristics. They’re speculative, subjectively valued and community-based. You could say they’re the perfect viral asset.
