In volatile markets like cryptocurrency, the best investment strategy is to continue buying small amounts regularly (Dollar-Cost Averaging) during periods of extreme pessimism and price capitulation, because these depths of despair often precede major market recoveries and innovation cycles, as demonstrated by historical patterns where significant market bottoms (like the 2008 GFC) led to subsequent technological booms.

Your Biggest Risk Is Being SIDELINED
Added:I've got $10.00 and a dream. We've been DCA buying crypto because it's been disgusting.
Remember, you buy when there's blood in the streets, even if it's your own.
That's the full saying. When you can no longer find the strength and the courage to look at that stupid piece of garbage Ponzi industry called crypto, you should be buying more. Cuz chances are you're looking at generationally low prices. I know I say this with confidence, and trust me, every day I wake up, I want to flip the phone. I start want to BREAK THE FREAKING I'M GOING TO FREAKING CRAZY.
WHY WON'T YOU GO UP? LISTEN.
We've been here for a long time. You know there's Metcalfe's law. You need more people joining crypto. Everybody's busy losing money in every other asset around the world. Jim Cramer already told >> [laughter] >> told everybody to buy the top of Nvidia.
It's going to take a while for this grand rotation and stuff to come out.
Also, you got to think about this. We are repeating the spiritual ghost fractal of the Nasdaq tech blowup, where we had the tech bubble in 2000. We then had a crash, which is our FTX, and then we had a little fake bubble, which was the GFC real estate recovery. Similarly, we had a pump fund saga for crypto in 2024, where we've just vomited out layer two VC coins and just participated in P2P altcoins, continuously trading in the trenches.
All of them spiral to zero. So, we have not really added any innovation, but through these depths of despair comes the spark we need. Because in the depths of the GFC, we actually made Bitcoin. That's when Bitcoin was made in 2008. And then after that, in 2009, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, we had Apple booming. We had Amazon booming.
We also had Facebook appear, social media. So, the new tech wave did come.
And that might be what we're looking at right now.
In the next 1 2 3 4 years, we might look back here and say, "Oh, wow.
Stablecoin supercycle.
Tokenization supercycle.
People are using credit cards and debit cards to come into crypto.
People are connecting stocks, cash flow, businesses.
We don't know exactly what's going to be the real winner. If we did, we would be getting 1,000 x leverage long on them. But something is being built. You can see it right now, just taking time. And I know we've been waiting a long time, but it is these depths of the sphere where you do get the follow-up of up only. You just don't think of the up only right now because it feels like it's absolute garbage.
That's why we are still adding friends.
So, I make capital has added $10 to the crypto treasury. We still continue to buy. It's been very tough.
And look, the lower your clip size, the higher risk you can take.
If you want more than a 2x, step outside of Bitcoin. Start looking for stuff.
There are communities everywhere. Yeah, tokens are abundant, but there are communities around. Communities are scarce, but you can still find them around.
And before you listen to all the naysayers, friends, because they always come out uh literally after every move, you got to remember in this marketplace, it's a bunch of dudes who are not rich, who are trying to get authority over other people who aren't rich.
>> [laughter] >> That's literally the game. I want you to look at this.
Wojak.
Guy who didn't retire from the 2024 cycle is now begging you to listen to him, sell the bottom, and chase whatever snake oil he's selling.
No, thanks. Back to my shift. So, >> I'm lonely. couldn't have said it better myself.
Those are the voices of people out there in the marketplace. Because what happens, friends? You get to see, right?
It's just it's all it's all in the mind.
Humans, when we do things, we really want other people to follow us. So, we get this cognitive bias.
When other people are doing the same thing as us, it's your own brain and mind and body and spirit confirming that it's the right path.
That's why when people sell, they start fighting it. Cuz they want other people to sell.
When people exit, they go, "Oh, it's all trash. Going to zero. I've given up."
They really want everybody else to do it. That's what would actually upset them more is if you buy. Not that you do things to upset them, but just observe.
Say, "Hey, why do you care what somebody else is what somebody else does with their money?"
If you've left based off time and or price capitulation, why are you upset other people are buying?
They're scared of it working out.
That is the biggest pain point in crypto. Cuz if people miss it, you know, there's no coming back. You know how thin the liquidity is. And you know, nobody shuts up about it.
When things going, they really go.
That's the most important part, especially when you understand how thin all the liquidity is, which we always talk about. And we know crypto's very reflexive.
So, if you're seeing Ethereum break highs and people are coming into crypto, no longer are they going to sit there and just wait for prices to go into a dip and leave limit orders. They just start climbing into these things. But, it's been a long time since we saw that.
This is also hilarious.
Guy who told you to buy Solana at $270 is now begging you to sell altcoins at their bottom and stop accumulating them.
Do the opposite of losers who cry in the casino. That is a very common thing we see in the crypto industry. It happens in stocks as well, but in crypto it really gets accentuated. People, when they sell, they really want everybody else to exit. It's like they're begging everyone, "Please, please exit with me.
Please." No lettuce hands, Larry.
We want to keep DCA buying, even if it's $10 doonies.
I think Ben's one of the best important lessons from our $10 doonie plight is I get a lot of people from third world countries calling me poor.
>> [laughter] >> I can't actually hilarious when you find one in the wild.
Like, >> [laughter] >> "Look at THIS POOR GUY."
BUT YOU GET LOOK, BEN. The thing is, when you're adding $10 doonies, it doesn't have to be $10 doonies, but you get the point.
You're putting on a feeder position.
Okay? There will be a point where you'll see my subscribers up, view counts up, new people in, new faces appearing, so many interviews appearing all over the place. You'll be looking around wondering where the hell all these people came from.
Why didn't you come like 6 months ago?
Where are you? You you were not even looking at your phone. Exactly. So, you'll get this idea that there's this bid support under you. Okay? So, you're not only just seeing it in the charts, but you can look around. And all these people will have capital, and they want us to drop. Okay? But they're not all looking at each other because they don't have that ability because they're all coming in like NPC plebs. They have tunnel vision. But you will be able to see it cuz you're adding $10 doonies every week, staying in the game with me.
So, when they come and appear, and they'll all go like, "Oh, one more crash. One more crash." But you know there's a problem. When there's like 30 people around you, and they're all waiting for one more big crash, you know how this ends. Hey, you're a retailer pleb. You don't buy dips. You all end up buying higher because you all are desperate to get in. You understand?
And that's the most important part.
I I even said it here, friends. Now that every crypto influencer has pivoted to trad-fi, it would be a real shame if crypto started going up.
It would be a real shame if altcoins, the thin liquidity ponzi garbage with no utility, started rising for no reason.
A real shame. Here we have a boomer saying buy stocks, not toys.
So, very hilarious, yeah.
You know, friends, just some personal anecdotal evidence, right?
Uh in the news websites, Bankless, for example. Bankless, where we're Ethereum maxis. Now their channel, they have a stocks area, they have an AI area.
You know, that's like one one data point. You're like, oh, you know, are there more? Yeah, there's more. Yeah, there's more.
The biggest crypto media, you have WatcherGuru and CoinTelegraph.
70% of their posts are Elon Musk, AI, semiconductors, non-crypto related stuff.
70% of the posts. So often, it'll be like literally out of three posts, two-thirds of them will just be like junk generic finance stuff.
That's another signal for you as well.
Many crypto influencers pivoted away.
You saw like even ElioTrades started doing trading cards.
One example.
I could list many other examples, friends. They go into trading, they go and just literally everything outside of crypto. Everything.
Cuz it's really tough, right? Makes you wonder, why am I the only guy saying, "Ah, it hurts, but I got TO KEEP BUYING!"
WHY DO YOU THINK THAT IS?
I'LL TELL YOU THE ANSWER. It's because I'm not trying to grab subscribers.
That's why.
There are no people who are interested in DCA buying Ponzi altcoin garbage trash.
There are none. There's no market for that. Obviously, the prices are low. I'm still buying.
Cuz I know the people who are fading it are the exact types of people who remain poor in 5 years. I'm just doing the opposite of them.
And we understand Metcalfe's law, Reed's law, and network effects.
So, if you really cared about just gaining subscribers and followers and views, start talking about Pokémon cards. Start talking about AI. Start talking about semiconductors.
Start talking about the AI hardware, AI software. Oh, make an AI agent with Klaatu barada nikto.
That's what they do. That's what they have a gift of doing. That's what they've been doing since the very beginning. It's a different skill set to buying low and actually trying to make outsize returns. You know, a lot of the influencers you watch, friends, they came early enough such that they could be given token allocation and then they could get better insider prices and just dump on the open.
You know, happened all the time in 2020 and 2021 and even before that.
That was like a big cash out area for them, but it did not repeat in 2024, 2025.
Anyway, not to the extent that they were expecting.
The YouTube engagement and viewership is a good metric just so you can get an idea.
From 2021, it's still down like 80%.
That's wild. So, like 5 years after >> [snorts] >> the industry got its cycle top of 2021, 5 years.
You had an ETF of Ethereum, of Bitcoin, worldwide adoption, Trump likes your coin.
There's a US strategic reserve, all these talks.
All of that, yet still 80% less people give a damn.
That's crazy.
That's how destroyed we are. A true alt apocalypse.
What's it going to take to reverse? I don't know. I personally just think the consumer sentiment has to go up. People just need more money in their pockets. I don't know what the answer is for that.
It could be a bribe, it could be robotics, you know, one of the examples I just used, friends, is look, they have to get the cost of food down.
Food is just way too expensive out there. I don't know how they're going to do it. Maybe they use, you know, maybe robots and warehouses and the transport.
Maybe helping you with your car payments in terms of having more robo taxis around. They just They've got to do something. There's not enough money.
People are literally getting squeezed.
I'm just throwing out basic ideas out here, but someone will solve it. And I think once that starts to happen, people have money to go throw in some Ponzi altcoins. But until then, we're not going to wait until that world appears because when that world appears, maybe that's when that top start happening.
We've got $10 Doonies in a dream. Going to keep DCA buying. Like, subscribe.
Catch you soon.
