The 2018 Crypto Crash Is Bigger Than The Dotcom Bubble

Published

on

The carnage witnessed in the cryptocurrency market this year has left investors licking their wounds. Virtual currencies touched an all-time high in January 2018, but have plunged to wipe out more than $640B in value.

The MVIS CryptoCompare Digital Assets 10 Index is down 80% since the all-time high of January. Compared to this, the NASDAQ Composite Index had fallen 78% from its peak in 2000.

The Great Crypto Crash of 2018 has now surpassed the decline witnessed during the dot-com bubble of 2000.

Bitcoin And Ethereum Have Lost Substantial Value

Bitcoin and Ethereum are the two biggest cryptocurrencies as per market cap. The price of Bitcoin fell nearly 70%, from close to $20k to around $6k. This was after its value accelerated 60x in the years leading to the crash.

Ethereum has not escaped the fall either—it shed over 40% of its value in September alone.

Investors who had pumped in money before the start of 2017 have still garnered strong returns. However, people who entered the crypto market post September 2017 have lost a significant chunk of their money.

Crypto investors had placed huge bets on what is still a revolutionary technology in its infancy. But there was way too much speculation coupled with investor hype and security concerns for cryptos to sustain the record levels reached earlier this year.

Bitcoin Was Likened To Digital Gold

The crypto mania witnessed last year was driven by the hope that Bitcoin and other currencies would revolutionize industries with their breakthrough technology. But emerging economies like China and India are still sceptical about cryptos.

Further, the slower than expected Wall Street adoption and tighter regulations have also contributed to this bear market.

Can Bitcoin And Cryptos Rise From the Ashes?

There have been ardent supporters of crypto currencies such as John McAfee who are optimistic about the Bitcoin price reaching even a million dollars sometime in the future. Ā In July 2017, McAfee tweeted this.

And this.

 

When Bitcoin was a part of a spectacular bull run late last year, McAfee tweeted :

Crypto enthusiasts remain unconcerned about this crash and believe that bitcoin and alt-coins will be as revolutionary as top internet companies. Bitcoin though has survived many such declines in the past. Its price fell from $1163 in November 2013 to $152.4 in January 2015.

Many still believe the blockchain tech to be the start of something special but the ride to riches will be more bumpy than smooth.

Once crypto currencies find a way to integrate with traditional financial assets there will be no stopping that bull market. For now, it is time to wait and watch.

How Big Real Estate Moguls Avoid Taxes (And How You Can, Too) šŸ‘€

Published

on

I was looking around Google for an old article on tax strategies and this five-year old video of myself happened to pop up.

I’m interviewing a tax expert about how real estate investors avoid paying taxes in perpetuity—AND how everyday citizens can do the same thing.

(Real estate—our TEMPLE I and TEMPLE II projects included—has a number of tax benefits savvy investors have capitalized on for years, including Opportunity Zone breaks and 10-year tax abatements.)

There’s the 1031 exchange, of course, which I’ve shared with you guys before. 

Just to refresh your memory, the 1031 Exchange allows you to roll over gains from your last project into a new property TAX FREE—as long as said property is worth the same or more.

But there’s ANOTHER TAX LOOPHOLE that can take your portfolio to an entirely new level by splitting your capital gains into MULTIPLE properties.

So I thought I’d share it with you guys. šŸ’Ž

You can check it out here.

Let me know what you think. šŸ˜Ž

PS: In our next update, I’m going to break down how real estate moguls get paid from their properties…tax free. šŸ‘€
PPS: If you want to learn how to implement generational wealth strategies like this one, you can join our NYCE wealth academy (TRIBE U) here.

How I run a $300M+ business from the beach…(and how you can TOO!)

Published

on

Yes, you read that right.

If there’s anything the pandemic taught us, it’s that the paradigm of ā€œofficeā€ and ā€œworkspaceā€ has been shaken to its CORE.

Universities are teaching via Zoom, court dates are done virtually, FULLY REMOTE businesses are valued at $1B+, and legitimate Inc. 5000 startups are run from…wherever. šŸ“²

This is my office for the day…

I am actually running our business from the beach, typing this from here.

It’s 4:28 pm CET, which means it’s 10:28 am EST and I am CRUSHING my to-do list.

(And the team will continue to crush it while I’m asleep. That’s the šŸ—)

So how did we get here?Ā 

We launched NYCE and our mission to create 100,000 millionaires in March, 2020…just as the global COVID-19 lockdown happened. 😳

As a result, we shut down our main office and set EVERYTHING up to run remotely…

SMOOTHLY! And a system that allows us to outperform competition by 200%. (You can build this system, too. More on this in a second.)

Here’s what we were able to do since then:

  • Gained 6M+ followers across all platforms šŸ“ˆ
  • Add 1500+ new apartments to the portfolio šŸ¤‘
  • Grow to $300M in real estate šŸš€
  • 105% investor returns šŸŽ‰
  • 700K+ community members šŸ¤

And here’s the best part…

Having team members in all the main time zones gives us a 24-hour work cycle vs. 9-5/eight-hour on-the-clock performance.

This means we get 3x the productivity of a similar company. šŸ”„

Let me repeat that…3x PRODUCTIVITY vs. our competitors.

Meanwhile our project management software grants us 24-hour TEAM-WIDE connectivity that tracks all tasks and lets us know if productivity dips even a little bit.

There is ALWAYS someone senior awake. It could be Martin in Barcelona…Nat in New York…Vineet & Arif in New Delhi.

All the while giving YOU GUYS wealth hacks and daily content. šŸ”„

OK, so how can you do it?!

Well, the first step is to have an actual side hustle you’re launching. Not just an idea, a validated business.

MAJOR KEY: Do NOT spend money until you’ve made your FIRST DOLLAR! šŸ—šŸ—šŸ—šŸ—

(You can catch a replay Business Launch masterclass here and see TRIBE member Nessa launched her business on the spot and got her first $45K client shortly after.)

One of the easiest ways to start is with Airbnb—you can start that in 10 minutes. Literally. (Here’s a guide if you need it.)

Once you have your business, you build a virtual infrastructure (you really just need two softwares, which are FREE), manage the team accordingly and run the business from there.

I’m gonna put together a step-by-step video breakdown this weekend inside the new TRIBE U on the FIVE key things you need to do this for YOURSELF. šŸ’µ šŸ’Ž

From what software to use, how to build a team, how to keep.

In the meantime, drop a comment if you’re ready to build some wealth and any questions if you want more…

Let’s get to work. šŸ™Œ

PS: If you can’t be bothered with video and just wanna get to work, we’re hosting a TRIBE U workshop that will help you get this process started on the spot. It’s $479 $49. šŸ”„
