In this blunt monologue, the speaker warns that most crypto investors—especially those over 50—approach crypto without any professional strategy, coaching, or methodology. He argues that without a clear plan, there are only two outcomes: a sudden revelation that teaches you the right way, or a painful loss that wipes out years of earned salary invested in crypto. He emphasizes that treating crypto like a hobby rather than a disciplined investment is akin to trying to make the NBA without a coach. The speaker attributes failures to either ignorance of what it takes to succeed or prideful belief in being special, and urges listeners to adopt a professional, coached approach to avoid catastrophic financial loss.

If you do not have a strategy for how to make money off of crypto, and I'm telling you, the older people, the people 50 years old, I'm telling you, you, I'm telling you, you don't know what you're doing. You could have all the wisdom in the world, but go ahead. If you've never picked up a golf club, go ahead. Go ahead and see if you're going to make it. That's how life works. If you don't know what you're doing, there's only 2 ways. You go through revelation. You have somebody reveal it to you. Or you go through tribulation and you lose all of your money. You need to listen to what I'm saying. 98% of you are not treating your investments in crypto on a professional level. Do you understand? Like, you're not. And the amount of money you have in crypto is years of your life work. Like, I know people that put 5, 10 years of their salary in crypto They have no help. If you just invest in crypto, you're by yourself. You have no coach, you have no trainer, you have nothing. You have no formulas, you have no methodologies, you have no strategies. It's like trying to go to the NBA with no coach, no effort, no help, no professionalism, and at the same exact time you're putting up 5 years of salary as a bet to bet that you're gonna go to the NBA. There's only one or two things. You're either— you're ignorant to what it takes to be good at something, or number 2, you're prideful and you think that you're special. I know people don't like to hear these things, I like to say them.
