Why Being Comfortable With Uncomfortable Ideas Will Pay Off in 2025 |
Back in 2021, I stirred a major controversy that shook up the financial newsletter industry. |
If you’re not familiar with the newsletter industry, it’s full of men and women who have diverse views on the markets. |
Some specialize in trading options and futures… Others invest in stocks and bonds… And a smaller cadre focuses on commodities and real estate. |
I’ve been in the newsletter business for nearly two decades now. And whether they’re short-term technical traders or long-term fundamental investors… There's only one asset I’ve seen unite this diverse crowd of financial thinkers: Gold. |
Regardless of their background or specialty, nearly every one of my colleagues shares the belief that gold is the best protector of wealth against the corrosive effects of inflation. |
For years, I counted myself among this group. I’ve even made several gold recommendations to my subscribers over the years. |
For instance, at the start of the pandemic in 2020, I urged my readers to up their allocations to gold to shield their wealth from the inflation I saw coming. |
But a year later, my research led me to an incredible revelation. And it generated controversy among my readers and colleagues. |
On March 22, 2021, I officially recommended my readers sell most of their gold and reallocate it to what I called “digital gold” – bitcoin. |
Here’s what I told them: |
I no longer expect gold to adequately protect your wealth against the money-printing happening right now. I believe bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are doing a better job – and will continue to. More than that, I believe they’ll benefit from a surge in new demand as the rest of the world wakes up to the same realization. |
|
|
You can’t begin to imagine the pushback I got when I reduced the gold position in our asset allocation model from 10% to 1% while raising our bitcoin position from 1% to 10%. |
People said I was reckless. Some even accused me of putting my subscribers’ retirement savings at risk. But I stuck to the research. And time has vindicated my decision… |
Since March 2021, bitcoin is up 2,414% and gold is up 58%. |
To put that in terms of cold hard cash, if you’d followed my recommendation and reallocated $10,000 to bitcoin, it would be worth $251,425. Meanwhile, the same $10,000 in gold would be worth just $15,784. |
Friends, I’m not telling you this story to brag. Rather, I want to show you why you need to think outside of the box if you want to achieve financial freedom this year. |
Many of my subscribers are hardcore gold bugs. So the idea of reallocating from gold to bitcoin sounded blasphemous to them. |
Despite my research making a compelling case that bitcoin would outperform gold, I had to drag them kicking and screaming out of the proverbial “gold box.” |
But those who put their faith in my research and followed my recommendations were richly rewarded. |
I get it. Bucking conventional wisdom isn’t comfortable. |
But if you want to make life-changing gains in the markets in weeks or months instead of years or decades… You have to learn to get comfortable with uncomfortable ideas. |
Because by the time the mainstream is comfortable with what was once uncomfortable, the opportunity to make 10x, 100x, or 1,000x gains from it is long gone. |
Wall Street Is Now Comfortable Allocating to Bitcoin |
Recently, the most powerful player on Wall Street shocked the world when it recommended investors consider allocating up to 2% of their portfolio to bitcoin. |
I’m talking about BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager with over $11.5 trillion in assets under management. |
Friends, I can’t tell you how incredibly bullish this is. Five years ago, BlackRock wouldn’t touch bitcoin with a 10-foot pole. And CEO Larry Fink was a major skeptic. He once called bitcoin “an index on money laundering.” |
How times have changed… |
Today, BlackRock manages the largest spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) in the world with net assets of $54 billion. And Fink now considers bitcoin a legitimate asset class. |
Last month, the asset manager published a research report highlighting the benefits of diversifying your portfolio with up to a 2% allocation to bitcoin. It said bitcoin’s weaker connection to the other main asset classes might improve portfolio results. |
The report said a 1-2% BTC allocation poses “on average, about the same share of overall portfolio risk” as a typical allocation to “the Magnificent 7 group of mostly mega-cap tech stocks” in a portfolio comprising 60% stocks and 40% fixed income assets. |
The “Magnificent 7” includes companies like Amazon, Microsoft and Nvidia. |
Friends, you wouldn’t believe how many times I’ve been called crazy for recommending investors allocate bitcoin to their portfolio. |
Before BlackRock became comfortable with the idea, I was already telling people that not only would bitcoin shield their portfolios from inflation… But improve their overall portfolio results as well. |
The case was simple to me… |
Bitcoin and gold offer many of the same benefits. They’re both scarce, durable, divisible, and private. Based on all the government money-printing we’ve seen over the years, gold’s chart should look like bitcoin’s. But it doesn’t. |
|
I knew my logic would be uncomfortable for gold fans to accept. Gold has thousands of years of history as a store of wealth. Bitcoin has been around for only 16 years. |
But people also used horses to get around for thousands of years. Then, in less than a decade at the start of the 20th century, the automobile rendered horse-drawn transportation obsolete. |
I viewed gold as the horse and bitcoin as the automobile. As more people come to terms with this, bitcoin’s price will soar higher. |
And those who got comfortable with this idea before BlackRock did have seen their bitcoin position skyrocket as much as 2,414% since March 2021. |
Get Ready for More Uncomfortable Ideas From Me in 2025 |
Friends, BlackRock recommending investors allocate up to 2% of their portfolios to bitcoin at the end of 2024 will be a huge catalyst for 2025. |
Already, we’re seeing strong corporate interest in buying bitcoin as a treasury reserve. Companies like KULR Technology, Rumble, and Genius Group began adding bitcoin to their balance sheets in the fourth quarter of last year. |
MicroStrategy, the largest bitcoin holder in corporate America, increased its holdings from 252,220 BTC in September to 446,400 BTC by December 2024. |
|
As you can see, corporate America is becoming much more comfortable with my “crazy” idea of allocating to bitcoin. |
But what I’m going to tell you next could make you even more uncomfortable… You see, I believe we’re on the cusp of the biggest crypto catalyst ever. |
It could be bigger than all of the bitcoin halvings combined. And even bigger than the approval of bitcoin ETFs. Here’s why… |
A week before Election Day last year, I predicted Donald J. Trump would be reelected president. Not only that, but I also said his victory would trigger a rally in crypto. |
Since November 5, bitcoin has been up as much as 64% and reached all-time new highs. |
But as big as his victory is, it’s not the full story. |
That’s why on Tuesday, January 14, at 8 p.m. ET, I’m holding a special event called Freedom 2025 to tell you the rest of the story. |
I call it Freedom 2025 because the opportunity I’ve identified could help you achieve your Freedom Number in 12 months or less. |
If you don’t know what your Freedom Number is, it’s the amount of money you need to live the life you want. |
For the average American, the ideal number is $1.46 million. Maybe your number is a bit higher or a bit lower. Each person’s number is different. |
For some, it’s the freedom to own a new car every three years. For others, it’s the freedom to spend your time doing volunteer work. |
Whatever your Freedom Number is, I want you to write it down now. |
Because when President Trump returns to the White House, he’ll trigger an epic melt-up in crypto bigger than the explosive rally we saw after his election victory. |
And some of the tokens that skyrocket during this melt-up could potentially help you attain financial freedom this year. |
During Freedom 2025, I’ll put all the pieces of the puzzle together for you. And reveal a brand new method we’re using to reap the biggest gains from this melt-up phase. You can sign up here now to join me for free. |
Now, I have to warn you. This method is completely different from anything I’ve done in my career. And I can almost guarantee it’ll make you uncomfortable. |
The moves will be lightning quick and could give you a heart attack. So if you can’t stomach that type of volatility, I understand. |
But if you want an opportunity to achieve financial freedom in 2025, you have to train yourself to become comfortable with being uncomfortable. |
By the time BlackRock and other major Wall Street firms get comfortable with this method I will reveal to you on Tuesday, January 14, the window on your chance to hit your Freedom Number this year will be closed. |
Let the Game Come to You! |
