What the 2024 Halving is and What it Means for the Price of bitcoin

Posted on by TME in Cryptocurrency

A lot of crypto curious investors on the sidelines have been itching to get back into the market and checking in to ask me two things: 1) is the current bear market finally over? and 2) why is bitcoin consistently going up with all of the economic uncertainty in the larger markets?

QTNA. Questions that need answers.

If you’re wondering the same things Tonya, this update will give you an answer, an opportunity and a secret that most inexperienced crypto investors don’t know (but should!).

Crypto is on the rise. And even conservative naysayers on CNBC have predicted that bitcoin will be one of the top five performing assets in 2023.

But why? Why is bitcoin on the rise and energizing the rest of the crypto ecosystem?

An Answer

Experts point to the Bitcoin Halving Season as a primary reason. This is something you definitely need to understand to maintain your first-mover advantage.

Three years ago today, the percentage increase in price from the halving to the height of the market was approximately 300% to 400% after the May 11, 2020 halving! Historically, with each halving event, the price of bitcoin saw an upward trend.

The halving happens approximately every four years. And the next one happens in 2024.

Are you ready to ride the wave to the top in the next bull run?

It’s a historical fact that when the availability of newly minted bitcoins goes down, the price goes up. So think of all the gains you’ll never enjoy if you miss the next wave by watching others win from the sidelines.

Your future is in your hands. And one huge obstacle separating you from winning in the next bull run is the right opportunity to learn so you can earn.

But you’re in luck.

Will Fear Keep You From The Future of Fortune in the Digital Economy?

Posted on by TME in courses, Cryptocurrency, Digital, Education

Investing in cryptocurrency can be daunting, especially if you’ve had a negative experience in the last year with the pandemic-led global financial crisis and crypto market crash.

This latest price correction wasn’t my first “crypto winter”. In fact, my best financial wins came after price pullbacks when the market restructured and recovered. That’s because wealth is created in down markets and realized when markets return. “Buy low, sell high” is an investment first principle that has made a lot of informed investors rich when they built a foundation based on facts, not fear.

If you rushed into the market without all the facts in a fear of missing out frenzy, you are not alone. When the value of the crypto asset industry took a nosedive in 2022 maybe you quickly sold your holdings because of a fear of losing out. Lots of nervous new investors did that, too. But folks are starting to buy again to get the return they missed out on when they were sitting on the sidelines.

But now that bitcoin has increased in value from $16K in December 2022 to over $28K this month (a 64% positive change!), Ethereum and other blue-chip cryptocurrencies are up, and CNBC recently reported that analysts predict the crypto winter is over and bitcoin could hit $100,000 by the end of 2024, now you’re faced with yet another fear: fear of getting (back) in.

See a theme here? Every move was motivated by fear: an emotional response to a perceived threat.

Here’s the thing about fear …

“Be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful.”

This quote from Warren Buffett’s 2003 letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders highlights the importance of taking advantage of market conditions while objectively managing risks. But you can’t take advantage of market conditions to prepare an emotion-proof wealth-building plan without the right information and a solid future of wealth foundation.

Long-term wins are never created with fear-based emotions or false evidence appearing real (F.E.A.R.). It requires the calm, confidence and courage that comes with the right coach, community, and content.

That’s where I can help!

I created a quick start bundle of tools and resources to help you get off the sidelines and back into the game. Because you have to be in it to win it.

If you believe in the power and promise of cryptocurrencies as a vital part of your investment portfolio growth but lost money in the market and fell victim to fear, the Digital Money DemystifiedBundle is the perfect spark to jumpstart your journey so you can create money-making momentum quickly and easily.

When I kick off my pre-launch book tour for Digital Money Demystified, the DMD Resource Bundle will be sold as a web-based companion to the book starting at $497.

You can access it now for only $47 (a $450 savings!).
