Here’re five charts and visuals that should be part of every investor’s handbook: 1/ The early bird gets the summer house in The Hamptons The sooner you start investing → the sooner you can start compounding your returns → the greater the potential outcome. 🐦️ Check this out: [Source: @QCompounding]( 2/ Learn to read the market → avoid max pain Ah, buying the top and selling the bottom – an age old tradition followed by many first-time investors. It ain’t a fun time! Learning to listen to the market’s signals is like taking a daily baby aspirin – both can help you avoid a heart attack. 💔 [Source: @QCompounding]( 3/ “This too shall pass” So you’ve learned to read the market’s signals enough to avoid max pain… But it doesn’t mean there won’t be any pain. Bear markets are inevitable. 🐻 But thankfully, they tend to be shorter than bull runs: [Source: @QCompounding]( 4/ Reinvest your earnings – seriously, the power of compounding is WILD! If you took $0.01 and doubled it every day for thirty days, you’d have – I dunno, what, like $1,000? Checks correct answer $5.3M!? Wow. Ok. Guess there’s a reason Einstein (yes, that Einstein) called compound interest "The eighth wonder of the world." [Source: @QCompounding]( Are you going to be able to double your money everyday for 30 days? No. But when you’re playing the long game, you don’t need to – investing $5,500 per year compounding at an average of 10% per year would make you a millionaire in 30 years time. 🤯 5/ Traders make millions, investors make billions There are very few billionaire traders in the world, while there’s a glut of billionaire investors.

[Source: @worldlibertyfi]( DeFi platform launch + public swing at the banking system = catnip for Crypto Twitter. Now, imagine going back in time, to 2021 (right after Trump [came out against Bitcoin]() → finding your past self → and telling them that modern-day DJT: - Has made $7M from selling NFTs - Currently holds $2.8M worth of [$ETH]( - Has taken in $119M of crypto campaign funding - Plans to launch his very own DeFi platform - And is launching the platform two months out from the close of his second re-election bid You’d sooner expect Ashton Kutcher to jump out of some nearby bushes and say “you’ve been Punk’d,” than actually believe yourself. 🤣 But here we are… On the upside: Trump now has skin in the game, which means if he wins, it’s in his interest to support the crypto industry outside of his re-election bid. On the downside: If he loses, the US crypto industry could have an even larger target on its back, from political opponents looking to twist the proverbial knife and amplify Trump’s defeat. But remember: [Crypto will succeed no matter who wins.]( [breaker] WHAT WILL BE THE 'MONEY' OF CRYPTO? 💰 Within the Bitcoin ecosystem [$BTC]( is money. Within Ethereum, [$ETH]( is money… But as we see ‘wrapped’ assets (e.g. $cbBTC = $BTC on Ethereum) spreading across ecosystems – could one asset become the dominant ‘money’ of crypto? [Kyle Reidhead]( joins us on today’s episode of [The Milk Road Show]( to shed light on this potentiality, covering: - Will $ETH remain a viable form of money over time? - Can $ETH face competition as money within its own ecosystem? - The bull and bear cases for L1 tokens as money in their ecosystems Click below to catch the full episode! 👇 [YouTube]( | [Spotify]( | [Apple Podcasts]( [breaker] BITE-SIZED COOKIES FOR THE ROAD 🍪 [Hawaii, crypto just got easier with Transak -]( Along with partners like MetaMask and TrustWallet, Transak can now instantly convert fiat to 170+ tokens for Hawaiians who seek a gateway into Web3. * [MicroStrategy acquired 18,300 more Bitcoin, bringing its total holdings to 244,800 $BTC, now valued at $14 billion.]( This purchase was funded by stock sales and aligns with their long-term Bitcoin strategy​.
