The cryptocurrency market is down 80% this year. Last year, an upbeat momentum in cryptos drove the market to all-time highs. It later came crashing down and burnt significant investor wealth, a freefall that was similar to the dotcom crash witnessed in the early 2000’s.
Bitcoin is trading at $6.5k, which is 70% lower than its all-time high price. Ethereum has lost 40% of its value in Sept. alone and is trading at $203. While most investors will never invest in crypto again driven by this crash, the enthusiasts are excited.
The massive erosion in the crypto market cap has provided another entry point for investors. The hardcore supporters remain unconcerned about this crash and believe that bitcoin and alt-coins will be as revolutionary as top internet companies.
Bitcoin, however, has survived similar declines in the past. Its price fell from $1163 in Nov. 2013 to $152.4 in Jan. 2015. So what will drive the next crypto bull run?
Scalability and application
In the past, the average cryptocurrency bull run has resulted in a 17x rise for investors. The Chief Investment Officer of Pantera Capital, Joey Krug expects the trading volume in the next bull run to reach $2T.
This will mean a 1000% rise in the global crypto market. This price surge will need to be supported by easily scalable crypto networks and an increase in adoption of the crypto tech. Bitcoin’s Lightning Network provides a faster and cheaper option for transfer of funds.
Ethereum, Tron, and Ripple are also looking to develop better systems to improve the speed of processing transactions.
Crypto exchange
The SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) has set up a committee to evaluate the introduction of a cryptocurrency ETF (exchange-traded funds). However, while crypto is expected to rise higher once trading starts on a recognized platform, the Bakkt might drive the markets starting Dec. 2018.
Bakkt is an NYSE-backed crypto platform. Intercontinental Exchange which is the parent company of the NYSE will list the Bakkt Bitcoin Daily Futures Contract on Dec. 12, 2018. Microsoft [MSFT] and Starbucks [SBUX] have also partnered with ICE to launch Bakkt.
Microsoft’s cloud solutions will enable customers to buy, sell and store cryptos on a global network. Starbucks aims to make crypto transactions more usable and wants to expand payment options.
This will drive the scalability and usability of cryptocurrencies to a large extent. Now that the big guys are coming in, the crypto markets should start its rise shortly. Experts believe bitcoin’s price to reach anywhere between $50k and $150k by the end of the next bull run.
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 taxesin 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.
PS: In our next update, I’m going to break down how real estate moguls get paid from their properties…tax free. 👀 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.
If there’s anything the pandemic taught us, it’s that the paradigm of “office” and “workspace” 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. 📲
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 🗝)
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. 🔥
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.
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! 🗝🗝🗝🗝
(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. 💵 💎
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. 🙌
PS: If you can’t be bothered with video and just wanna get to work, we’re hosting a TRIBE U workshopthat will help you get this process started on the spot. It’s $479 $49. 🔥
But what does it all really mean? How does it come together? In this week’s chart, our friends at CB Insights break down exactly how blockchain powers Bitcoin.
