Chapters

1. Intro (00:00:00)

2. Finding the bottom (00:01:14)

3. We’re almost halfway through 2023 now. Bitcoin saw prices below $17,000 in January, and traded up past $30,000 in April, according to Cointelegraph’s Bitcoin price index chart. So far, June has seen prices between $25,000 and $28,000 roughly. From a macro (00:01:21)

6. What do you think will impact Bitcoin’s price the most for the rest of 2023? (00:08:21)

7. What do you think about future possible Bitcoin cycles? Will the bull and bear cycles continue? Maybe what will they look like, and have things permanently changed from the past? (00:09:38)

8. Trade secrets (00:12:55)

9. As much as you’re comfortable, talk to me about your background. When you were a kid, what did you want to do when you grew up? (00:12:59)

10. So you’re a full-time trader, correct? (00:15:44)

11. Do you trade and invest in multiple different markets or just crypto? (00:16:11)

12. How would you describe your trading strategy? Are you technical analysis based? What does it look like? (00:17:49)

13. How much time, effort and of your capital do you put toward trading versus investing? (00:19:55)

14. What was the hardest part about learning to trade, and what was learning to trade like for you? (00:21:19)

15. The next bull run (00:23:14)

16. If I’m not mistaken, I think you mentioned that you think we are already in a new bull market for Bitcoin, is that right? (00:23:16)

17. What might happen in your opinion in the next several months if Bitcoin does sweep the lows, and then what might happen in your opinion if Bitcoin possibly doesn’t sweep the lows? (00:23:47)

18. So correct me if I’m wrong but it sounds like you use a lot of other factors other than just charting. Do you maybe want to just explain a little bit on what, how much you use charting versus other information for your investing and your trading? (00:27:18)

19. Conclusion (00:29:13)
