Revealing My $1,000,000 Data-Backed Crypto Investing Strategy

YouTube monologue by Ben Simpson presenting a seven-step, data-backed crypto investing framework (the “Shift List”) he says produced over $1M in gains. He emphasizes fundamental analysis, on-chain metrics, narrative mapping, asset screening, timing/entry, and portfolio construction, illustrates with trade examples (SUI, Hype, Syrup), and closes with a paid coaching offer (platinum program, application required).

I've made over a million dollars investing in crypto using data backed research insights. And today I'm going to walk you through the framework that I've used over the last nine years so you can stop gambling, stop trading your way to try and make it in in crypto, quitting your 9 to 5 and actually having a proper wealth framework to stop thinking about speculation and actually create a blueprint to success. But if you skip this video, ultimately going to continue just to gamble, following these idiots online that are pushing out all sorts of ridiculous content from influencers and you're not going to be able to actually build your wealth through in this bull market because we're in that time right now and I genuinely want to help you guys. Now if you don't believe, here's a little screenshot, wasn't even a screenshot. It's literally like the live feed of my bank account.
Just in my bank account alone, just to show you guys that I'm not just some bro in his bedroom sharing you tips to try and flog off his shitty trading course at the end of it. Genuinely I want to try and help you guys today with my seven step framework. So let's jump into what that is, how that actually works and how you can stop thinking about crypto as just a gambling speculation play. Now everyone wants to build a multi million dollar portfolio, but so many people think about it the wrong way. So many people come into crypto, they start listening to influencers, they have a mate that's starting to like, you know, throw off, you know, different tokens. Maybe you bought some a little while ago, maybe you just dumped a bunch of money in the market and you're following influencers, you're following Twitter people, maybe you've round tripped, maybe you don't have an exit strategy and you're literally just playing with this like a hobby and you have no idea what you're doing. Would you build a house without a plan? Would you drive a car without a destination? Would you build a business without a strategy? I tell you what, I've been in this business now for five years building collective shift. And if I didn't have a plan, if I have a strategy, then we wouldn't be going anywhere. You'd be going around and around in circles. The same goes with your crypto investments. You need to have a proper plan and blueprint to then reverse engineer and create that process. Now these are the seven steps really briefly that I want to walk you through to make sure you're covering off and we're going to go through each step in this video today. So the seven steps are having that macro view of the market, narrative mapping and understanding which sectors to be in and also which ones to not be in. Asset screening via the shift list. Actually looking at the analysis and the token ratings which I'll share with you today. The on chain metrics, not just looking at fancy like trading charts and influences. Draw some squiggly lines and tell you where the market's going. That does not give you undervalued assets. I have been in game changing wealth creation assets because of getting in on chain metrics and looking at the fundamental data early. And today I'm going to share with you some of that timing and entry. So, so, so important. So many people buy at the top, they panic at the bottom and share all of that portfolio construction, what percentages to actually hold in your in your portfolio and also how to review and trim and update as time goes on. That's super important because so many people don't even optimize. They continue to hold assets that have held for a long time, hoping it'll come back. But folks, hope is not a strategy. I'm going to talk you through that today as well. Now let's talk about the importance of having an altcoin watch list. How many of you have tracked an altcoin before, didn't buy and it rallied and you start to think, shit, what did I do? What did I buy into it? Or maybe, you know, you forgot about a coin that someone bought or maybe you bought into the wrong coins and then you didn't buy into the other ones. You're wondering what am I doing? Why did I buy those coins? It is a never ending game. Crypto has this sickening way of never really allowing you to win. So the shift list is really, really important to help you break through that. And because, you know, ultimately without the data, we actually see 80, 90% of retail investors lose because they buy and sell at the wrong time and they follow the same people as everyone else. Crypto markets have winners and losers. This is not some AI game, guys. When you buy a token, someone is selling you that. When I sell a token, someone is buying it. There's winners and losers in crypto and you need to understand what your edge is. If you're just sitting at home, you've got a busy family, you're running around with your business or your career and you're just trying to fly off and listen to some guy online, what do you think everyone else is doing? Do you think everyone else is just following the same shitty advice that you are from people online? 100% they are. This is why 10% of the market makes money, because they're actually counter trading. The retail investors, you are the exit liquidity, you are losing. And the 10%, the whales, the smart people, me included, are winning because you're following the same crappy influence as everyone else. So I want you to understand that you need an edge in markets and hopefully this video is going to help you give that answer. Right, so let's get in the shift list. What actually is the shift list? Now having a watch list is like the automated way of tracking which tokens are going to look to either win or lose you over time. All right? This is giving you the bullish and bearish indicators to give you the advantage again in the right time. Before I had the shift list, I made my biggest investing mistake on altcoins. It was actually on synthetics. Synthetics before it was called Synthetix, was called Haven. This was back in 2018, 2019. It was building a synthetic derivatives platform, an epic, epic platform. A great old coin that I bought in, held it for about a year, but I didn't end up holding it. I actually sold all of it, literally days, but maybe weeks before it went on the most obscene growth run of an altcoin. Back in the 2018-2020 bull market, it literally did probably 30, 40, 50, 60x and I sold out my entire position before it did that. The biggest mistake I made there was I wasn't watching the token. I didn't understand that it had one of the biggest upgrades it had on protocol coming up literally in the coming weeks. I held it for a year, got impatient. I thought the, the investment thesis was right, but I didn't have the patience and I wasn't tracking what the project was doing. So I sold it and then it pumped. And that is the like the precedent of most investors when I first started out as well that don't have a proper eye on the market or don't have time to monitor what their altcoins are doing. You need that data because that is could be the make or break. I would be retired at like 23. It's sickening to even think back how much money I lost out. So that's shift list comes in and this is how I look to leverage it. So let's look at Sui for example. Sui was one of my trades that I made earlier in the year, Got in just before $2, about a $90 and you know, here in the Shift list we can start to understand and look at the analysis that the team have done here. Collective Shift. So this is our analysis team. So really the best thing about you know, SUI is it has that real big narrative, right? The narrative, the layer one play and the gaming sector. The best thing about SUI that I really like is the UI and it literally allows you to sign up to their like, you know, their digital wallet using your Google account, right? The UI is really, really cool. The other thing that I really like is the, is the ecosystem and how much growth it's had inside the protocol over the last couple of years. Now RAO Power from Real Vision is a big believer in it. They're actually building Real Vision on sui. They're building the token on there and it's got so much growth. From a TVO and investment perspective, it's really been a big competitor against Solana and Ethereum in that Layer one space, which has been a big sector that we've been super bullish on. Now you can also see from a token perspective, the token utility is super, super interesting as well. One of the best things here is around, just around the fair compensation from the, from the validators and the distributing of the staking rewards. It's also got a supply capped at 10 billion, which is really good, really distinguishing it against Ethereum. Sorry, Solana and a lot of other altcoins that have huge inflation rates. Something like XRP for example, has massive inflation rates. They, they print new supply each and every month. SUI does not do that. It has a cap supply. It's why Bitcoin is so good, right? Because it has its cap supply. So that is exciting because essentially other tokens have infinite inflation rates, meaning you need to continue. It's like fiat currency essentially need to build more and more and more capital to grow that token because of how many new tokens are coming into supply. So that's really, really big. And also the community is massive as well. So look, I think that the tech side of things, SUI is really innovative. The global adoption, the development, also the features that it's got from a user, user experience standpoint is super interesting. That's why SUI has been a big winner for us. And you know, I shared this back, I think it was about $2 when I invested in SUI. And you know, one of the best things that from a timing perspective, and this comes back to the timing and entries that I spoke about, is that being able to time before big fundamental things happen and also before the market moves based on where we are in the macro conditions. So this was actually back in March just as the market was, you know, coming was on a downwards trajectory because of Trump and the tariffs and things like that. And this was really around that u shaped recovery that was happening. You know, the market was down 60, 70%. We got into some really good positions really cheap because we could actually forecast and see what was coming up. And that was one of the best things that got us really, you know, undervalued assets like Sui for example, under that two dollar mark and now it's, you know, about four bucks this time. So that's really cool. Now the other ones on my, on my, on my shift list or my watch list at the moment, Hype is a big one. Hype is being a new layer one protocol. It's another derivatives platform but also has some defi integrated in it. Hype is another asset that I have exposure to really like Hype from its token tokenomics. Right. Hype has some really great buybacks and strong tokenomics with token buybacks and has a really strong product market fit with forced programmatic buybacks based on the token as it generates new fees, which is really, really cool. So it's called the. The revenue is allocated to the assistance fund that automatically buys Hype off the open market. So it has an automatic buying system that comes into Hype which is really, really cool. So that's really strong. I love fundamental qual. That is something that has always made me a lot of money in crypto, whether it be syrup, whether I made back in the metaverse, when I made life changing amounts of money back then, got in before 2030, 40x returns because of fundamental side of assets. This is what trading does not get you. It's why so many youtubers will come up and draw these fancy squiggly lines telling you when the market's going to go up and down. That doesn't give you access to good investments. Looking at their fundamentals, fundamental analysis is the most valuable thing in my opinion and what we are known for and it's why we made so much money and all of our clients so much money because of that fundamental side. You can find projects before they pump based on what they're building. It's like investing into a startup before it's grown. Do you think you could do technical analysis on a small startup, you know, as they're raising money with a 50 mil market cap project? Of course not. Right. Technical analysis is just, it's a waste of time in my opinion. When you're looking at early stage investments. Yes, it can give you a good indication of where the market's going and also when the macro market is looking to top or bottom. But it's not going to give you access to gonna do 20x. That's not a thing. And the reason most influencers don't talk about this is because they have no idea what any of this stuff. It's pretty funny because influencers are entertainers. They're, you know, they're great at creating content, great at what, getting you to watch their videos which is entertaining, terrible and actually helping you make money. Oh, sorry, I laugh. I used to work for YouTube influencer and just it's funny to see the YouTube influencers put out content because it's, it's funny, it's great, it's great to watch but you're not going to make any money. So hype is one again, you know, from, from a, from a summary perspective, you know, these guys have you know, really trying to build a transparent low latency audible exchange essentially. And there's a reason why Hyper Liquid actually isn't available on most of the large exchanges is because they're a massive competitor to Binance and Coinbase and things like that. So that is a big one there. Last one, as I just mentioned Syrup, Syrup I recently took profits on. I actually shared this at 5 cents when syrup was first coming out. They just recently crossed 3 billion in TVO. It's a D5 project. I think Defi is a big under underdog of this cycle and you know the price performance has been unbelievable. Like I was buying this sub 50 mil market cap for a long, long time. I've been very public. I don't put out a lot of altcoin, you know, insights online for free. I've been huge on, on Syrup. I put this out on Instagram for free. Twitter for free. I really, really promoted this as an investment that I thought it was going to do really well and it has, it's grown massively. The chart is unbelievable. You know I was really buying and accumulating a lot down here in this territory here in that 5 cent range. It's now hit 50 cents and done extremely, extremely well. So well done to everyone that jumped in on that. But again, why are they here? Why is this token here? Because fundamentally it's super strong. The tokenomics here around the way it generates debt from the marketplace, it brings in and raises capital and then the revenue that it generates from those investments gives back to the token holders. Beautiful. And it's one of the very few projects that actually made it through the D5 bear market of 2021. When, you know, Luna was blowing up, FTX was blowing up, everything was blowing up around it and, and syrup just made its way through. I held this thing down 80. I had massive conviction in this. And it's a fine line between having huge conviction and being wrong and being an idiot and actually having conviction and doubling down and watching it come back. And that folks, that comes back from understanding the fundamentals, understanding the community strength, understanding the activity of the platform, understanding on chain activity, the narrative fit, everything you need is why this is successful. Did I mention technical analysis in any of that? Absolutely not. All right. I made life changing amounts of money from not trading, not doing technical analysis and actually looking and investing from a fundamental perspective. That is my edge and that is what the shift list gives, you know, our team and all of our clients, which is why so many people are successful. So this really keeps you ahead of the market, the shift list. It keeps you understanding and having confidence and understanding where the narrative fits are and not just backing something because you know it sounds good, but actually understanding the investment insights behind it and understanding where the metrics are lining up to go to the right direction. And that is why the shift list is so important. So on top of that, if you're looking to really save time and learn real strategies, you can work with me one on one in our platinum program. It's going to save you hours and hours and hours of time. It's going to fast track so many of you that are looking to really not round trip this cycle. Invest a large amount of capital and not just chase the gains, really build your wealth and freedom. You need to have at least a net worth of over 250,000. You need to be investing at least $100,000 in crypto. You can book a call below and see if it's a good fit. You do need to apply. We only work with so many people, but there's so many amazing stories here from Liz, who literally, she's not a crypto person. She's, you know, her and her husband invested, took some bitcoin profits, traveled to Europe. Ron doubled his portfolio. Brady, a dad, you know, talks about, you know, teen that he can talk to 24,7 in our WhatsApp community, Indigo doubled her portfolio. Look, there's so many success stories, you can check it out, but these are from proven strategies that actually work, folks. You know, we're actually genuinely helping people, which is really cool. Now let me show you how I actually get my edge. That's not on Twitter, that's not on YouTube. It genuinely helps you build a multi million dollar portfolio without following again these influences and people online and listening to your mate and just holding these tokens and not know what you're doing, right? The reason why so many fail to build a long term proper portfolio is because everyone just acts on emotion and hype. We can see this on chain, right? And we can see this with our on chain data. On chain data is such a beautiful thing, right? On chain data, if you're new to crypto, literally allows us to see who's buying and selling on the blockchain, right? You can't go and see in the stock market or a bank who's buying and who's selling, right? Checkmate is our lead on chain analyst. And literally over the, you know, the last few days we saw billions and billions of dollars absorbed from sell pressure. The market was selling off. There was one ancient bitcoin address that was selling 80,000 bitcoin, right? In a literal like few day period, which was insane. Now if we saw a $80,000 sell transaction a number of years ago, this would be a 30 or 40% dip. But this is where we can really start to see where the market is buying and who is buying and who is selling, right? And this just gives us such good insights as to what's going on. Now the realized profit and loss here on chain, we can literally see the peak of these buying and selling and the realized profit taking place as the market's moving up. You can see these push here of bitcoin as the price goes higher. The green chart here is the realized profit, people literally taking profit. And you can start to see here as the market moves up, we start to see older wallets taking profit. Now this is what gives us the edge because we can actually understand who's selling. All right? And this is what gives us the deep dive into what happens on chain. So when there's big movements in the market, rather than acting emotionally and going, oh, why is the price going down, we go in on chain and we can start to look and see where these drawdowns are and why it's happening. And literally these drawdowns in this period in this bull market is so, so small in contrast to previous cycles. So once we look at that, we can start to see it, you know, who's actually buying, who's selling these short term periods. And we know that modest profit taking happens. And now we're in that cooling off period which is really cool. The next thing as well as I always look and check over in trading view, this is really where I'm looking to look for breakouts. I'm looking for patterns. One of the big patterns that's happening at the moment is the EBT BTC chart. We really, we've been in a four year downtrend like against ETH for basically just capitulating altcoins for a long period of time and we're starting to see that breakout. When we see an ETH BTC breakout, this is where we can start to see altcoins really moving. This is why Syrup's doing well. This is why SUI is doing well. This is why altcoin's doing well is because we're starting to see that ETHBTC breakout. Now if we look at where this has been in the past, like we've essentially been on this multi year. If we look at from the peak, we've basically been on a, from the bottom 80% drawdown of Bitcoin outperforming ETH by 80% for literally like four years. All right, and now we're starting to see that move upwards. So we're up about 80% from the lows. But if we look at where we were back in 2021 when we had that magnificent altcoin run of 2021, we went on a 285 increase, basically a 3x and at the moment we're about just less than a 1x. So in terms of previous cycles and also we weren't down that far. So I believe we still got at least a 2.3x left in altcoins this cycle before we start to take profits, which is really cool. The other one, again just that on chain that I mentioned and from our platform is also just looking at, you know, when, when there's token unlocks, when there's actually these like Solana for example and XRP produce so many new tokens when those unlocks come out. It's really important to understand that because that's what builds sell pressure into the market. It's something we look at very often. Now next I want to talk you through my 10x I made on syrup and why syrup was such a good investment and how I made so much money there. So let's bring this up. Why syrup was a 10x opportunity and the tools that I shared are powerful, but they're not everything. The key things you need to really do to break down is understanding like the key points on understanding why an investment is good but also when these assets are down 80%, you really need to have conviction. All right, so the first thing is perfect timing. Syrup really broke through the credit collapse of Celsius Blockfi. Maple survived and it expanded during this point. It continued to double down. And the products that developed was really, really amazing. The narrative was really big. All right. Syrup stood out because of the narrative. And this was something that came out on the shift list. We looked at it from a sector perspect. We're looking at the on chain activity, the growth. And this is why I bought in and doubled down at that 5 cent range, is because the early bet on institutional defy, the entire industry gave up on Defi. No one was talking about it. Right. No one was thinking about it. And that's where I really saw that trend and that narrative. If it was to break through and Defi was to come back, I thought it was going to do well. And it did. It had real fundamentals. It was like genuinely creating proper revenue, generating strong token value. My goodness. You know, imagine that a crypto project actually creating value for the world. Wow. Like, imagine it. And that is what Syrup has done. It's a genuine equality project that has done really great things for its token holders and it's growing its revenue. Right. And that's really exciting. And it's actually delivering value to people that use it. Okay. The next one is just that major macro tailwind. We had Trump and the election and. And he started to go pro. Crypto defy had huge regulation, regulatory, you know, issues. Last administration, Trump basically removed all that. Then I doubled down and had high conviction. And this was a real process that played out. And that's the real difference between just hype, investing and guessing. Having actual conviction. Because when you have conviction, you know the narrative and you can back yourself based on fundamentals. That's what gets you in early before just chasing the hype from influences. And guess what? By the time it comes out on influences, but by the time it comes out on YouTube, by the time it comes out on Twitter, you are too late. No one was talking about Syrup two years ago. Nobody. What happened recently? People started tweeting about it. It's caught up to blackrock. Anthony Pompliano started tweeting about it. That is the time for me to start taking profits. I started taking profits when that happened. All right after it 10x. By the time you've heard about it, you are too late. That is why you need to get in early and get these insights that come to the shift because that is what's going to give you the most returns. So those are all the systems and insights that I put in place to help me scale my portfolio. The sectors that I really want you guys to be aware of is what we're really bullish on for the upcoming, you know, cycle in this and this bull market. These are narrows I'm really interested in. Number one is the layer ones, right? If we have a look at the layer ones, this is where we're really like, this is the backbone that's happening, right? This is where VCs allocate. This is where a lot of the capital continues to flow into, which is the layer one sector. Think about the layer ones is like the App Store, right? The App Store being the road that the apps get built on, right? And that's where the VCs are investing. But no, there's a lot of, there's a lot of projects in this space, right? You've got Solana, Ethereum, Tron, Cardano, Sui, Stellar, Hedera, Toncoin. There's, there's literally so many layer ones they are not all going to survive. So you need to make sure you've got good exposure to the, to the good, the good assets and making sure that you also understand they're competing against each other. A lot of these older chains like Polygon and, sorry, not Polygon, Polkadot and Cardano and you know, they're all competing against one another. Okay. So you need to make sure you're in the right sectors. Meme coins, the gateway drug for retail. You know, I think Meme Coin is going to do really well. I'm exposed to a meme 5 project that recently also did me a 10x because I see that the Defi overlaid on the Meme Coins. When retail arrive, I think Meme Coins are going to do really well. Make sure you're backing good quality memes that are on the right chains. Ethereum is big for me. Solana is going to do well as well. You've also got AI tokens, you've got things like SPX, you've got AR16Z. I think AI is going to do really well again when a retail market arrives. DeFi 2.0 again, super pumped about Defi. I think Defi is underrated. It's going to be that sort of like underlying real fundamental, you know, value of a sector that's going to continue to grind higher and do well this cycle regardless of the market. And that's why Syrup's done so well even before retail. And then you've got underrated gems, you know, got different sectors RWAs and you've got social fire, DPIN, etc. I don't have exposure to those, but they're the sort of main sectors that we're looking at. So there you have it. There's my full one million dollar crypto portfolio strategy laid out so you can take it away and apply it for your own self. The frameworks that I just shared with you allowed me to make millions dollars in crypto and also allowed me to work with over 180 high net worth clients that I've worked with now in in our platinum program, currently 180 right now to help them take their hundreds of thousand dollar portfolio into millions and help them really make sure they have the right exit strategy and the support that I work with them one on one. So if you are interested in working with us and taking out the guessing work, taking out the time to get fast tracked, make sure you book a call below, see if it's a good fit and you can apply to join our program. Otherwise, thanks for watching and I'll see you on the next video.
