Mason Versluis argues crypto trading is the most valuable skill to learn in the next five years. He covers charting, candlestick analysis, and using leverage, emphasizing disciplined trades with clear entry and exit points. He points to the Trump administration as a potential catalyst for trading opportunities.
Let's talk about what I think is the number one greatest skill to learn for crypto. This is the highest return on your time, which means if you put time into this, it's going to give you the highest return over the next 5 years. This is like the staple crucial skill for you to know going into the next 5 years. It's obvious that the money system needs an update, right? Money is slow. Why can't I send money anywhere in the world as fast and as free as an email, right? Why is there still fees? Why is it still slow? Why do I still have to wait for business days? It's so stupid. Why do I have to wait until Friday to get paid, right? I should be seeing my money go up as I'm in the bathroom on my lunch break, right? This is the type of stuff. So the number one skill is crypto trading itself. Now here's why. The only thing that doesn't disappear in a bear market is crypto trading. No matter where the market's going, if it's going up or if it's going down, if you know how to trade, you can make money. So it is the only skill worth investing your time into if you're a busy person, right? It is worth investing time into learning how to trade because it lasts the whole time, whereas meme coins The meme coin market, you know, dies every 2 months, right? And then it goes up, it has another big explosion, and it's kind of this trendy market. And, you know, some of the same crypto trading skills apply to meme coins. But what I'm talking about is the real trading skills like charting, knowing how to even place a long or a short trade, knowing how to leverage trade. If you only have $500 to trade with, leverage trading might help you because you can beef up your bag, right? And if you only take one safe trade a month or two safe trades a month, and by safe I mean like high confidence, you know, you're going for a very disciplined, I'm going for 10% and I'm closing this, right? I know that this Certain event is going to happen, so I'm going to place a long, which means I'm betting the market's going to go up. I'm going to place a long and I'm going to cash it out when I hit this and be very disciplined. That can do really well with leverage, right? Leverage is dangerous, but crypto trading— so we do have a free group, right? Like completely free. We believe that trading education should be free. You shouldn't you know, be buying someone's course on how to trade. The basics should be free. Maybe some advanced stuff can be in some dude's course, but we don't sell courses. Um, we have a free group though, link is in the bio. It is called The Owl's Nest. Uh, we do have a paid indicator company as well, so we build these trading indicators that basically help you see things on the chart that you wouldn't see without them, right? So you can use our trading indicators to find trades easier. It makes trading easier. It gives you the entries. It gives you the spots where you could take profit. It gives you the spots where you could put your stop loss. It just makes it like 100 times easier, especially for, for beginners. Our indicators are for beginners, but you don't need to buy them. I don't care, right? Get in the free trading group. That is the key. So you can start actually learning. But I just wanted to come on here and reinstate how important that skill is because it's timeless, right? Candlestick charts themselves and charts of assets will always exist. There will always be an asset that someone is speculating it going up and down. So if you know how to read the charts properly, And you know, one other thing, I'll end on this: equipping yourself with the skill of even knowing how to place a trade could be the difference between you making a million dollars in one trade, right? That could be the difference. There are people that exist that have no idea how to place a trade, and they're just unequipped. So even if they did know for sure that a specific asset was going to go up, they wouldn't even know how to place a trade. That's why you're about— it's about equipping yourself and arming yourself, because over these next years, especially with the Trump administration, there's going to be insane opportunities to place trades. And only— I only take high confidence trades right now unless I'm scalping, okay? And that you guys can talk to you know, me and Megan in the group, uh, in the trading group. But I appreciate all of you. That's my little rant on trading.
