In this monologue, Ben Simpson argues that the crypto investors who earn the most money do not chase rapid growth or get‑rich‑quick schemes. Drawing on his experience advising thousands of high‑net‑worth clients, he explains that focusing on aggressive expansion often backfires, especially for investors who allocate most of their capital to crypto in hopes of quick gains. Instead, Simpson advocates a patient, long‑term approach: staying in the market for years, weathering sideways or down periods, and preserving wealth. He cites his own track record—four out of six recent years delivering over 90% returns while two were negative—as evidence that patience pays off. A core component of his strategy is holding a large portion of the portfolio in stablecoins that generate yield, providing downside protection. The overall message is to treat crypto investing like wealth creation rather than gambling, emphasizing strategy, stability, and patience over excitement and rapid growth.

The crypto investors making the most money aren't doing what you think. Actually, it's the last thing most people would ever try, and that is to not focus primarily on growth at all costs. This is something that, you know, working with thousands of high net worth investors now for a long, long time have really taught me around, you know, growing wealth is not easy, to do it quickly. And people that try and grow money and grow, you know, their wealth really fast and try and, you know, get rich quick usually do the opposite. And it's what I find. People that have less money in the markets or that they're putting all of their capital that they have in their bank account into crypto to try and get rich quick, it usually does the exact opposite effect. So for me, the way to make money in crypto, it is not fun and exciting. It's actually boring. And that is to remain patient. And you have to do that in years like we've seen in 2025 when the market is going sideways. Two out of the last six years I've had red years, but those other four years, I've made over 90% in every single year. So you have to remain patient through the chop because that is what gets you to the other end and you have to preserve your wealth. That's what I'm doing right now. I have a large percentage of my portfolio in stable coins. I'm earning a yield on that because I want to protect to the downside. All right, so stop thinking like crypto, like a gamble, thinking about wealth creation and have a strategy. And that is how not only you create money, but you keep it as well.
