A couple weeks ago, I told you about my new years resolution to Become My Own Bank (BYOB) in 2021. This week I took the first stab at what a self sovereign BYOB crypto bank might look like.
You can see the first draft of The BYOB Playbook below. It's pretty dense, but I plan to chip away at each topic, consult expert feedback, implement and share with you everything I learn along the way.
Your feedback from last week's chart and accompanying video was epic. I'll definitely do more as this bull run continues. This week we were blindsided by our first dip! Did you use our limit order strategy to scoop up some cheap bitcoins? I know a few people in our group chat did.
There were three 30-40% dips like this during the 2017 bull run (see here), so don't let the volatility shake you into selling. Price seems to be recovering fast but anything could happen - dips can reverse fast or last for weeks.
Reply with any crypto questions or feedback you've got - it's been awesome hearing from you guys.
