This newsletter is about 10x’ing your earnings as an employee, entrepreneur or investor.

And I would be doing you a disservice if I didn’t point out the upcoming seismic shift in how our lives will change significantly moving forward starting on Jan 20th 2025 — even if this topic does not interest you, or you have a certain strong opinion about what I’ll be talking about.

I’m also making a prediction of sorts. It’s going to be fun for me to sort of look into the future, wait a few years and then revisit this post to see if the following turns out to be right.

Note that some things are so obviously going to change the world that when they do, they’re not really surprises.

They include the Internet browser which made images, sounds and animations possible for the Internet, smartphones which made surfing the Internet on your mobile phone as good as your desktop so that you can shop in the comfort of your toilet seat, or social media which makes connecting with your friends and making new ones easier and quicker than ever.

From the moment they appeared, it was clear they would revolutionise how we communicate, work, and live. While there were skeptics, the broader world embraced these innovations eagerly.

They were welcomed because they made life easier, faster, and more connected.

But the world of cryptocurrencies is different.

They didn’t get the same warm reception.

And this is because unlike other world-changing technologies, cryptos came into existence challenging entrenched power structures.

They are a fundamentally different system that threatened to remove our dependence on banks for money transfers and loans, and redefine who controls the flow of value globally (from the authorities, to us).

So, instead of being greeted with open arms, cryptocurrencies were met with fierce resistance.

Some of the biggest economies in the world tried to squash it outright.

Countries like China imposed outright bans on trading and mining cryptocurrencies, labelling them as threats to financial stability.

Other nations like India swung back and forth on their stance, creating uncertainty and fear.

Even in the US, where innovation is usually celebrated, regulators and politicians cast doubt, accusing Bitcoin as a tool for criminals or a bubble destined to pop.

And yet, cryptocurrencies persisted and couldn’t be killed.

This is because they were built on top of the Internet that itself cannot be shut down by a single party.

The resistance cryptos faced was all about control and who gets to decide the rules of money and finance in the digital age.

In any case, and just to show you some of the advantages of cryptos — I started receiving Bitcoin, Litecoin, XRP and stablecoins like USDT for my products and services since 2017.

This is 8 years ago.

I didn’t ask to be paid in cryptos. Some of my clients who are based all over the world asked me if I would accept them.

Because I truly believe that cryptos are the future of money — I said yes.

I remember one particular Bitcoin payment that I received, when Bitcoin was only $3,000 each. It duly appreciated to $12,000, in just a few weeks.

I knew Bitcoin would appreciate over time, but the speed at which it happened truly astonished me.

This is the year that Bitcoin eventually topped out at about $19,000+.

Of course, Bitcoin started breaking its own record for all-time high prices and the speed at which it breaks them — again and again and again.

As I write this, Bitcoin is still above $100,000 each.

And whether you like or hate Trump who will be inaugurated as the US President on Jan 20th 2025, the fact remains that he campaigned on a pro-crypto platform and won.

It’s obvious that Trump felt the pro-crypto crowd had played a big role in his re-election, as he started putting into place pro-crypto figures in important government portfolios like the previously anti-crypto SEC (see my previous post, “The Main Reason Why Trump Won?”).

As you can see, the future is very bright indeed for cryptos.

We will likely be seeing the most activities in the crypto space ever starting in just days.

Not only that, cryptos will be entrenched more and more into our lives in the future.

Why?

Because in the next 4 years, with a pro-crypto government in place, more and more Americans will own cryptos and take part in Decentralised Finance (DeFi).

They will form a huge voting block that may number 100 million or more, up from between 20 million to 50 million Bitcoin owners in the US currently.

When the next election comes around in 2028, how much do you want to bet that ALL the candidates for president will be pro-crypto — thus continuing the US government’s pro-crypto stance moving into the next decade?

Note that crypto’s huge breakthrough has just occurred.

Because America is the biggest economy in the word currently, she can easily take the lead in the crypto space.

Countries that hesitated on crypto can now see the U.S. blueprint and will scramble to catch up.

This is already happening with some governments now considering being more crypto friendly.

And you can be sure that other countries with a democratic system in place will soon have all candidates who are pro-crypto for their next general elections.

Now while it’s true that other forward-thinking nations have tried to lead in blockchain and crypto in years past, they don't have a big enough population, nor the resources, nor the clout to make a huge difference.  

The US has all three.

And so nations that embrace blockchain will enjoy economic growth, technological innovation, and a huge competitive edge.

Millions of new jobs will also be created in an industry that was once vilified, but is now legitimised.

Traditional finance in the form of banks will need to adapt by integrating blockchain and offering hybrid services if they want to thrive.

Those that cling to outdated financial models will not survive — and they will change.

But the real winners here are the people.

Cryptos have democratised finance.

They bank the unbanked (no documents are required to open an e-wallet), slash costs for cross-border transactions and level the playing field for everyone, regardless of their background or age.

Thus cryptos are both a financial and a cultural revolution.

Our younger generation and their children are growing up on digital gadgets and digital assets.

And cryptos are fully digital.

There truly is no turning back.

But if you’re still unsure about what all of this means or how cryptos like Bitcoin fit into the bigger picture in your life, I’ve got something for you.

My new book, "The 10x Cryptocurrency Investing Strategies" will be launched on Amazon.com in February 2025.

It will help you understand what the big deal about cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology is, so that you can see how you can be a part of it responsibly and legitimately — and more importantly, without falling for scams.

It’s FREE for subscribers of The 10x Factors, for a limited time.

To get it for free, simply reply to this email with "10x Crypto Book" and I’ll email it to you.

All I ask is that you leave an honest review on Amazon.com when it’s launched.
