I'm finally revealing exactly how I'd put $100,000 into crypto today.

It's so obvious you'll feel stupid for not figuring this out earlier:🧵

PS. Do you have $1M+ in liquid capital & want crypto exposure?

I've recorded a full breakdown of the three pillar crypto framework we use to help build our client's portfolios that hold between $1M to $32M of crypto.

PPS. If you'd like to see how we re-structured Alex's $2 million crypto portfolio to build his long-term wealth, I've wrote a full thread on this.

PPS. Want to learn more about crypto?

Last month, I dropped a short video on how I think about different cryptocurrencies right now, from XRP to Solana to Bitcoin.

7. Custody - protecting large holdings
8. Multi-sig wallets
9. Estate planning - don't let it become a "boating accident"

Meeting with Fidelity Ventures today, one of the largest crypto friendly wealth managers in the world here in Boston.

Just a wild experience to actually be in the room where the biggest crypto funds are making moves. Pumped.

[Ben Simpson @BBcryptoX_X]

If I had $50K in cash and wanted to deploy it into crypto today, here's exactly what I'd do.

Not a 100x meme coin hunt. Not "bro just buy Bitcoin."

A proper framework for the period we're in right now.

And the part most people skip entirely:

The exit strategy.

The money isn't made on the buy. It's made on the sell.

I took profits at 42c on Syrup last year after buying at 5c. Not because I didn't believe in it. Because 20% in one asymmetric bet is too much risk.

[Ben Simpson @BBcryptoX_X]

Walked through the full framework in an 18-min video.

DCA vs lump sum, why the 200W MA matters, the exact portfolio allocation, and the exit rules most people never learn.

Fundamentals tell you what to buy.
Technicals give you direction.
On-chain shows you who is moving.
Sentiment tells you when to sell.

Most people use one. Maybe two.

That is like flying a plane with a single instrument.

1/ I turned $20,000 into $100,000. Then $100,000 into seven figures.

Not from one lucky trade. From a system that combines four things most investors use in isolation.

The full framework, free. 🧵

[Ben Simpson @BBcryptoX_X]

6/ Sentiment tells you WHEN to sell.

This is the hardest one. And the most valuable.

I sold metaverse positions in late 2021 when the market was euphoric. It felt nauseating. Within 6 months, those positions were down 80%.

If selling feels easy, you are probably too late.

[Ben Simpson @BBcryptoX_X]

7/ 2020 returns: -12%. 2021 returns: 3,000%.

Not because I was buying in 2021. Because I was selling in 2021 after accumulating during 2019-2020 when everything was boring.

The boring periods are where wealth gets built. The exciting ones are where it gets captured or lost.

[Ben Simpson @BBcryptoX_X]

1/ Most altcoins are down 40-90% from their highs.

One position in our portfolio is up over 60% year-to-date.

The difference has nothing to do with luck. It has everything to do with three questions most people never ask. 🧵

[Ben Simpson @BBcryptoX_X]

5/ The lesson most people miss.

By the time an altcoin gets listed on Coinbase, it has already done 100-200%. I bought at $23 on decentralised exchanges. That is where early access happens.

If you only buy what is on the major exchanges, you are usually the exit liquidity.

[Ben Simpson @BBcryptoX_X]

6/ I only hold altcoins for one reason. To eventually convert the gains into more Bitcoin.

If an altcoin is not outperforming BTC, there is no reason to hold it. That single rule has saved me from holding dead positions through entire bear markets.
