EP. 9: University of Greatness – The Best Cryptocurrency You Should Invest Your Money in If You Truly want Greatness

Someone asked me recently “which cryptocurrency do you advice I invest in that could guarantee return of over 100% in 2 months assuming I have $3000”? That ought to be an easy question for a professional crypto trader but it was a tough one for me.

Crypto is known to give the best and huge return on investment within a short period of time compare to traditional financial markets such as stocks, bonds and mutual fund.

So I wouldn’t say anyone looking for over 100% return on investment in this industry is greedy. They are not because they are smart people if they know what they are doing.

token

However I replied “Don’t put your money in any crypto listed on Coin Market Cap; invest all $3000 in “ME TOKEN” and I mean “YOU TOKEN” and I mean yourself.

That’s the best cryptocurrency, stock, pair, (call it anything) that I could guarantee will yield brilliant return in the short and long term and even up to 1000% in 2 months.

The best Blockchain project that could give the best return on investment is investing to increase your blockchain and crypto knowledge.

Blockchain is a technology that will produce more billionaires in the shortest time possible than the internet has produced in the longest time since inception. (Mark my words)

Those that will become part of the millionaires and billionaires which will be produced by blockchain technology are the people with much knowledge of this industry and that will leverage on the acquired knowledge fast to develop world changing blockchain projects that will eventually solve major problems of our society.

How Investing in YOU TOKEN can make you more money faster than Investing in any crypto listed on coin market cap


I HAVE TWO BRILLIANT EXAMPLES


Vitalik Buterin: this 23 year old ethereum founder is my number one example of how "YOU TOKEN" can help achieve greatness and give the best return on investment simply by investing in you first before going out in search of undervalued crypto’s to jump on.

According to what I read on Fortune.com

“In February of 2011, Dmitry Buterin (Vitalik Dad) introduced his son to an intriguing development he had come across online: Bitcoin. Initially Vitalik didn’t show much interest. The idea of digital money sounded boring compared to World of Warcraft. And he didn’t share the same stringently libertarian values as his father. But after doing a little research on cryptocurrencies, Buterin adjusted his thinking. Maybe the math appealed to him.”

I also read Vitalik DAD bought him a computer at age four. The seed of knowledge his father sowed in him early in life has yielded the best return on investment and will continue to yield for a long time.

I don’t know Vitalik net worth currently but he was number 31 in fortune 40 under 40 list of 2016. Check it out here

I’m pretty sure he’s one of the good example of how investing to increase your blockchain knowledge can actually make you a sea full of fishes instead of becoming a fisherman trying to catch few fishes.

Knowledge makes you smarter and in the end makes you more money than speculating and praying not to lose out.

Vitalik is exposed to many opportunities because of his knowledge, many companies are willing to compensate him for his name and knowledge.

I want to believe his many stakes in top blockchain project are enough for him to blow and become even greater.


Dan Larimer: I chose to call him the Mark Zuckerberg of Blockchain and believe me; this young man will make our world a better place with many of his blockchain projects which are products of his knowledge of this industry.

Dan Larimer is the founder of Bitshares, co-founder of steemit and the brain behind EOS. Unlike Vitalik he started right from the beginning in 2009 with Satoshi Nakamoto and with his wealth of knowledge he has been able to invent his own blockchain techbology called the Graphene Blockchain that powers Bitshares and Steem.

“If a man empties his purse into his head no man can take it from him. An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.” Benjamin Franklin

You will agree with me that Dan Larimer is on the edge of making pretty good profit in this industry than most people because of his knowledge of the industry is worth more than what everyone can ignore.

I found this below in his LinkedIN profile description which i believe he wrote

My mission in life is to find free market solutions to secure life, liberty, and property for all. I want to build a global brand known for creating and owning high-quality, industrial grade, economically sound and very profitable crypto assets. I am a tried and tested entrepreneur who has just deployed the first massively scalable technology in the industry. With investment, my knowledge and the industry experts Cryptonomex has to work with, we are now limited only by our ability to pursue all the opportunities before us.

Do you notice what Dan called his limit?

That’s what should be our goal if we want to make money and achieve greatness by getting involve in crypto and blockchain.

Summary

The aim of writing this post is not to condemn cryptocurrency trading or discourage people with trading skill from trading, i'm a crypto trader myself and i believe there is money to be made from speculating.

I used this analogy to only communicate my message in a unique way that investing in knowledge whether crypto, blockchain business, education or anything else always pay the best dividends.

Investing in yourself by acquiring knowledge, safeguards your money, prevent high tension when the market is going against you and over all pay the best interest and it pays it for life. Ignorance is ten times costly than knowledge.

Welcome @prettycynthia and thanks for your nice comment, i will keep posting inspiring posts here because people like you give me reasons to

Great post! As Andreas Antonopolous puts it....Learn, don't trade! :) :)

Lol Learning beats trading just as knowledge beat ignorance

Thanks Boss Lady for reading and commenting on my post

Epic post mate - nice work!

Welcome and thanks man

@bania Great Post,you are very right about looking for knowledge.
I used to hear a bout bitcoin but i didn't really take time to find out what it is.

It is until i came on Steemit that my world has been opened to the future,that is the future of cryptocurrency.
Invest in Yourself Indeed

Investing in yourself by acquiring knowledge, safeguards your money, prevent high tension when the market is going against you and over all pay the best interest and it pays it for life. Ignorance is ten times costly than knowledge
I am now reading and following things concerning cryptocurrency ardently because i want to increase my knowledge base.

That's a right step towards greatness man, knowledge is power so men of knowledge are always in authority

Definitely worth a resteem and upgoat - I mean, upvote. Oh boy, way too many upgoats wandering around Steemit land these days :P

Anyway.

I totally agree the best investment we can make is ourselves. Sure, we might not all be "successful" as Vitalik or Dan Larimer, but it depends how one measures success. As long as you're living life the way you want, you have enough money to accomplish your goals and live the lifestyle you can be happy with, and have found a way to bring meaning into your life through helping other people, animals, or the environment (or all 3!), that's a grand slam in my book.

On that note (investing in yourself), it's suggested that you set aside a % of your income in self improvement, whether that's udemy courses, conferences, some kind of lesson in whatever skill you're interested in improving, etc.

Not only investing money, but setting aside time is just as important if not more so in today's age of 1 million and 1 distractions.

Ok, went off on a ramble there, but I might write a post bout this... good stuff! :)

Thanks man

I agree investing in oneself should be diversified and calculated if we want this to really produce good result.

Thanks for reading and sharing your opinion on this

Absolutely, thanks for the comment. Just followed you so I'm definitely looking forward to more good stuff to come. By the way awesome that you're 19 and you're getting into all of this, you're going to have a head start when everyone else jumps on the Steem bandwagon in a year or two.

Yeah, i am always happy anytime i remember how young i am compared to many things i am involved in. Its a great privilege to discover oneself early in life.

Thanks for the follow , i would be checking out your blog too

For sure, always helps to have a head start no matter what it is you're trying to accomplish in life.
