I listened to Sam, I think you should too

Paolo Cabrelli | 26 Feb 2021 Confessions of a HODLER Dear Reader,   In 2017, I was the victim of a kind of assault…    For months upon months, Sam Volkering had been telling me to take a punt on crypto.   "Do it now or you will regret it" was his constant refrain.   Every phone call.    Every email.   Every time we crossed paths in the office.    It was the same thing: "jump in now, or you'll kick yourself."    Eventually, I yielded.    To be honest, I didn't fully understand cryptocurrencies. But I took the time to read up on it. I spent time with Sam's deep analysis and decided to stake a little bit of money at a time.   This was quite a moment for me. I do not have a great risk tolerance. When it comes to investing my money, I confess to being the anxious type.     So, over the course of the year, and into 2018, I invested around £600.   Invested is the key word.    I did not consider my stake in one particular crypto to be a wild speculation. I was in it for the long run.   Sam's research on the coin I invested in made me a true believer in the project.   He had helped me see the bigger picture, and the huge potential.   I'd decided—I was in, through thick and thin. It was money I could afford to lose and I was prepared to ride it out.    I was officially a 'hodler' – crypto parlance for someone willing to hold for the long-term.   Over the last few years, my resolve has been tested.    The highs of 2017 were followed by a bleak 'crypto winter'. The ultimate bear market that shook out the weak hands.    Still, I hodled strong.    And by taking that long-term view, I never felt under any pressure to sell out and cut my losses.    I didn't check prices every day.    I didn't worry about my small stake. And to be completely truthful, I went through the whole of 2019 without checking in at all.    Thanks to Sam, my gradual investment of around £600 now looks like this:     Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results, of course.    As I pointed out before, I'm not really interested in looking back when it comes to cryptos. I want to look forward.    The above is not a life-changing amount of money, by any stretch. And if you were looking at the prices daily (I wasn't), it's been quite the rollercoaster.    I only risked money I wouldn't lose any sleep over. So, if it all went 'poof', I had nothing to cry about.   That's the only way to do it, in my view.    It's snowballed into enough for a nice family holiday, when such things are allowed once again.    But guess what? I'm not selling.   I'm still HODLING…!   Because once again, Sam's issuing this rallying call for investors to make a calculated move into the market.    Sam has a long history as something of a crypto trailblazer, writing about bitcoin before most people had even heard it.    Bitcoin is up over 3,000% since he first officially recommended it to his followers. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.   And a number of other coins on one of his lists are sitting at triple digit percentage gains.    Right now, Sam believes we could be entering a whole new growth phase. Here's what he writes about Tesla recently hoovering up over $1bn worth of bitcoin:   For me, this epitomises the sheer size and scale of the opportunity present in the crypto market.   And it makes it easy to see why some of the wealthiest smartest investors in the world are extremely bullish on bitcoin, too.   Billionaire venture capitalist Tim Draper predicts bitcoin will reach $250k by the end of 2022.   The banking giant Citibank is even more bullish. It recently released a price target for bitcoin of $318,000 by the end of 2021.   The CEO of investment manager ARK Invest says: "[Bitcoin] could rise to somewhere in between the $400,000 to $500,000 range."   MicroStrategy's move is, in my view, a preview of what will be the norm in 5-10 years' time.   And right now, you have the opportunity to invest before that money gets here.    If you're not interested in that, frankly, I think you've got rocks in your head.    Former Goldman Sachs fund manager Raoul Pal puts it best in my view. He says this is the equivalent to "'Front-running' a wall of money".   My advice: get yourself clued up on what bitcoin is and how it works. Then make an educated decision on how much you want to invest.   With companies such as Paypal, Mastercard, Square and Apple opening up their payment networks to accept crypto…   We could be on the cusp of another tipping point..    Possibly a new, Global Monetary Reset, as Sam explains HERE:    READ HIS FREE CRYPTO INVESTING BRIEFING NOW.   I know I am biased by my own positive experience, but I don't believe there is any better way to understand and invest in what's happening than following Sam's lead.   He has a knack for opening up opportunities in plain English, and leaving no-one behind. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.   And he is the only investor I know who has cashed out on a 20,000% gain. He did that in 2017, after holding the crypto Ripple for just two years.   Right now, he believes two cryptos could be next to surge in price.    You can get details on those companies right now, on a complimentary basis:   Everything you need to know – and do – to grab your stake in this new phase of the crypto bull market is HERE.   Many thanks,    Paolo Cabrelli Publisher, Southbank Investment Research   PS.

5-year performance of Bitcoin: 2016 123.27% | 2017 1371.91% | 2018 -73.60% | 2019 92.65% | 2020 308.33%   Important Risk Warning   Before investing you should consider carefully the risks involved, including those described below. If you have any doubt as to suitability or taxation implications, seek independent financial advice.    General - Your capital is at risk when you invest, never risk more than you can afford to lose. Past performance and forecasts are not reliable indicators of future results. Bid/offer spreads, commissions, fees and other charges can reduce returns from investments. There is no guarantee dividends will be paid.   Small cap shares - Shares recommended may be small company shares. These can be relatively illiquid meaning they are hard to trade and can have a large bid/offer spread. If you need to sell soon after you bought, you might get back less that you paid. This makes them riskier than other investments. Small companies may not pay a dividend.   Overseas shares – Some recommendations may be denominated in a currency other than sterling. The return from these may increase or decrease as a result of currency fluctuations. Dividends from overseas companies may be taxed at source in the country of issue.   Cryptocurrencies – Cryptocurrency investing and investing in Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) is a highly speculative investment. The cryptocurrency market can be extremely volatile. Digital currency coins are encrypted to keep them secure. The encryption identifies the currency itself, but not its owner. This means that if a coin is stolen, you have very little recourse in getting it back. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) does not regulate the Cryptocurrency market. This means that you will not have the protection of the Financial Ombudsman Service or the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.   Taxation - Profits from share dealing are a form of capital gain and subject to taxation. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may be subject to change in the future.   Investment Director: Sam Volkering. Editors or contributors may have an interest in shares recommended.
