It’s about time we meet face-to-face to talk about cryptocurrencies.
Not in person, mind you. Our experts live all over the world. Besides, I’ve got the flu.
So we’re getting together online, and three guys are joining besides me: Juan Villaverde, chief architect of our cryptocurrency ratings model … Tristan Amzallag, a Bitcoin veteran from the old days … and Gavin Magor, our Senior Risk Analyst.
All extremely timely for a host of reasons!
First off, news is popping like crazy in cryptoland.
You’ve got Arizona moving to accept income tax payments in Bitcoin. You’ve got Venezuela launching the Petro cryptocurrency … with Russia, Iran and North Korea possibly next in line. Meanwhile, the new social media giant, Telegram, is gung-ho in its fundraising via a high-profile Initial Coin Offering.
So anyone who thought “things are dying down” should take another look.
Second, the entire cryptoworld is coming up to a major crossroads.
It could change our life for the better. It could deliver life-changing profits to early investors. And it’s all happening very quickly right now.
But that world also has a dark side. It’s replete with speculative fever, lax standards, murky operators and periodic crashes.
Third, Bitcoin lovers are in an uproar over the C+ grade we gave to Bitcoin.
I’ve been called vile names I can’t print.
Even some people I admire are unhappy.
But I’m not backing down.
In fact, that’s why I’ve invited Tristan. He’s one of the staunchest Bitcoin defenders I know. He began mining Bitcoin when it was selling for just $35. He gave college lectures recommending Bitcoin, when Bitcoin was still selling for a small fraction of its current value.
And he’s going to hold my feet to the fire.
The online conference will be this coming Wednesday, 2 p.m. Eastern Time. Juan’s going to name the three cryptocurrencies currently at the very top of our rankings. He’s also going to name five relatively popular cryptocurrencies to avoid.
Then Gavin will reveal the breakthrough cryptocurrency strategy that could have turned $10,000 into $599,512 since January 2017, over seven times better than Bitcoin.
Best wishes,
Martin
