Hey Degen Fren,
So you're probably wondering what my background is.
I'd prefer to stay anonymous for safety and privacy reasons.
Imagine sharing a badass project, and it gets exploited several months later. Someone loses their life savings in it. They're pissed off and want revenge. But the devs and the hackers are anon. So they want to target the person who told them about the project.
I never want to be caught in that position. Especially with a family. I hope you understand from I'm coming from.
I love how when you're anonymous, you're only judged for the quality of your work.
Nothing else matters.
I can share a few things about me.
I bought my first bitcoin around 2013. I lost it all in the Mt. Gox hack. Those Bitcoins would've been worth millions today.
It made me lose faith in Bitcoin and I stayed away for a few years.
I entered the Crypto space again in the summer of 2017. It was an insane time where everything was going up.
I was able to turn a 6 figure investment into low 7 figures.
Some of my best plays were 50x Raiblocks (now known as Nano) and XRP (Ripple).
I should've known that the bubble was about to burst. The Uber Drivers and barbers were talking about it!
But I got greedy.
"I just need to hold for one or two more months and I'll be set for life. Diamond hands baby."
Then everything crashed in January 2018.
- Some of the projects rug pulled.
- Other coins that I loved never recovered to their previous highs.
- And worst of all, I never took profits along the way. (The dangers of the HODL mentality)
Once again, I stayed away from Crypto for a few years.
During late 2020, one of my friends started telling me about DeFi. I didn't understand it.
"What the heck is a liquidity pool?"
"Where are these yields coming from?"
I went down the rabbit hole. I haven't left since.
My portfolio is now at an all time high even with the dip. How?
By being early to solid projects. I was early to PancakeSwap, Abracadabra, and DeFiKingdoms.
And how did I do that? I spent all day on discords, Crypto twitter, telegram groups, and more trying to find information
It's exhausting. There's no way that someone with a full time job or kids can keep up.
So in January 2022, I started my Twitter account for fun. And then I started getting thousands of subscribers.
"What's Your Background?"
I graduated from one of the top universities in my nation.
I immediately started my own businesses online after graduating. I became a millionaire from the eCommerce and digital marketing space.
No formal investing background. I did spend over a decade studying and understanding the financial independence movement. I'm a huge Boglehead (fan of Vanguard index funds).
"What's Your Goal with The DeFi Edge?"
Everything's happening way faster than I ever expected. I'm barely keeping up with writing content, so I haven't thought too much about what I want.
I'm already financially independent.
So I'm honestly not interested in doing any private consulting, discord channels, or anything of that nature. It's not worth my time.
My goal is to build my audience as larger as possible.
I'm interested in potentially advising projects one day.
Instead of sitting on the sidelines as an investor, it'll be awesome to start affecting the industry.
By seeing my end goal, I hope you see why I have zero interest in doing pump & dumps or taking advantage of you.
I'm playing the long game where trust & credibility are everything.
Talk soon,
The DeFi Edge
p.s. You've reached the end! No more automated emails from me. Thanks for still being here!
