The Opportunity to Make Millions in Crypto:

In 2022, I mentioned we will see the crypto market pick up in early 2023. This was based on the historical pattern seen in prior crypto bear markets.

In this market, Bitcoin, Ethereum and many Altcoin coins are down 70-90% of their prior all-time highs. If you are looking to be making life-changing wealth in the crypto market, you should be buying now in preparation for the next bull run.

It is in the bear market where millionaires are made!

Top 100 Gainers - Last 7 Days

Over the last 7 days, the biggest gainers (within the top 100):

Threshold (T) +93% - Ranked #94

The T token is a cryptocurrency that serves multiple purposes, including making payments, influencing the direction of the project through voting, and staking for interest and other incentives.

Threshold is one of the most significant Web3 initiatives because of the cross-chain element of the network and the privacy and access control features it employs.

The coin is up 93% in the weekly, becoming the biggest gainer in the top 100 crypto-list.

Aptos (APT) +62% - Ranked #26

For a second week, Aptos has made the list. Aptos is a new, Layer 1 Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchain project focused on delivering the safest and most production-ready Layer 1 blockchain in the world. The team includes the original creators, researchers, designers, and builders of Diem, the blockchain that was first built to serve this purpose.

The PoS blockchain can achieve a theoretical transaction throughput of over 150,000 transactions per second (tps) through parallel execution. The cause for the doubling in price over the last week of Aptos is not yet known.

Aptos made a huge splash when it debuted in October 2022. Since then, developers have been busy building out the various facets of the chain’s ecosystem, including Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs).

Fantom (FTM) +35%  - Ranked #40

Fantom is a directed acyclic graph (DAG) smart contract platform providing decentralized finance (DeFi) services to developers using its own consensus algorithm. The FTM (PoS) token forms the backbone of transactions, and allows fee collection and staking activities, along with the user rewards.

eCash (XEC) +28%  - Ranked #62

eCash (XEC), is a rebranded version of Bitcoin Cash ABC (BCHA), which is itself a fork of Bitcoin (BTC) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH). This project calls itself a “cryptocurrency that’s designed to be used as electronic cash.” eCash strictly aims to be a means of transaction used to pay for goods and services. eCash was recently listed on three exchanges which is attributed to its increase in price.

Do You Own a Hardware Wallet?

If you own crypto, you need a hardware wallet. Period. Hardware wallets (also known as cold storage) are the best devices to keep your crypto investments safe and under your personal custody.

My favorite hardware wallet is Trezor as I own both the Model T and One. The Trezor suite also offers the ability to exchange cryptocurrencies within your portfolio without the need for any KYC, helping to keep you and your transactions safe and anonymous.
