Tell us about your publication?
The Daily Dollar is where I break down investing, making money, and crypto in a way that actually makes sense. No jargon, no overcomplicated theories—just practical strategies, mistakes I’ve made, and what’s working right now. I keep it honest, simple, and straight to the point.
Can you describe your investment style?
I focus on asymmetric bets—small, high-upside opportunities where the downside is limited, but the upside is huge. In crypto, that means spotting undervalued projects before they blow up. In stocks, it’s about buying when there’s blood in the streets. I don’t chase hype; I look for things people are sleeping on.

How do you find the investments you want to invest in?
I watch what smart investors are doing, track data, and study past market cycles. For crypto, I analyze on-chain activity, narratives, and early-stage projects before they hit the mainstream. For stocks, I look for panic-driven sell-offs or sectors that are underpriced. Most of my best investments have been things that felt “boring” at first but had massive potential.
How do you reduce your risk?
I never go all in. Risk management is about survival first—because if you stay in the game long enough, you win. I spread my bets, take profits when things go parabolic, and never invest money I can’t afford to lose. In crypto, that means securing assets properly, avoiding scams, and staying unemotional when prices move.
When do you sell?
I sell when something hits my target price, when the original reason I bought no longer makes sense, or when the market gets irrationally euphoric. The goal isn’t to sell at the top but to lock in gains before things go south. If I believe something still has long-term value, I’ll hold through the noise.
What is your most memorable investment whether good or bad?
One of my best investments was getting into a crypto project early, back when almost no one was talking about it. I spent weeks researching, digging into the team, and analyzing on-chain activity. Everything pointed to it being undervalued, so I took a calculated risk. A few months later, the hype caught on, and the price exploded—50x from where I bought in. I took profits along the way and walked away with life-changing returns.
But my worst mistake? Getting greedy on another project. I was up big, but I convinced myself it had more room to run. I ignored the warning signs—insiders selling, momentum slowing, hype fading. Then, overnight, the market collapsed, and my unrealized gains turned into a 90% loss. That was the moment I learned the hard way: profits aren’t real until you take them.

What advice would you give your younger self?
Learn how money works earlier. Stop chasing quick wins. Bet small, but think big. And always take some profit—because what goes up fast can crash even faster.
