I love reading personal finance books as a form of self-development. Recently, I noticed that a common thread in some of these books is to identify your investing superhero. For instance, if I resonate strongly with Warren Buffett's strategy of investing in low-cost index funds, I could regard him as my finance role model. The same goes with Robert Kiyosaki. If "Rich Dad Poor Dad" changed your life profoundly, you could look up to him similarly. When we have such role models in mind, we avail ourselves of the chance to think out of the box. When we face an unfamiliar situation, we could jolt ourselves out of our usual thinking processes and stimulate creative ways of looking at things by asking ourselves "What will my investing superhero do?"

Given that crypto is becoming increasingly prevalent in our daily lives, perhaps it's time for me to look beyond conventional choices. I could be proven wrong in time to come but personally, I don't think Warren Buffett will ever gravitate towards crypto. Robert Kiyosaki seems to be an avid advocate of crypto, but I don't think I will think of him as a crypto superhero because my impression of him remains fixated at how he ingeniously applied leverage to flip properties and make a killing in the real estate industry. New era, new cryptocurrency, new superheroes!

Hence, I will like to harness collective intelligence. Is there someone in the realm of BTC and altcoins whose views on crypto you respect? Someone who inspires you? To be honest, I don't know of many renowned crypto people out there. I only know Bobby C. Lee, the former CEO of BTC China, China's first bitcoin exchange. In fact, I am reading his book titled "The Promise of Bitcoin: The Future of Money and How It Can Work for You". I hope to know more such people through you guys!

Who is your crypto role model? Who keeps you grounded in the volatility of this exciting crypto rollercoaster ride?
