Get a Seat at the Crypto Table

By johnwege | johnwege | 28 Mar 2025


All of us in crypto have 1 thing in common. We are all trying to change our lives financially, and crypto is the tool that we are hoping will allow that to happen. This goal is broad and will mean different things to different people. For some, their goal is to finally accumulate savings and no longer be living from paycheck to paycheck. For others, this could mean having a nice nest egg to put towards retirement or buying something that they’ve always wanted, such as a house. And for others, it might mean being able to retire and pursue their real interests and passions. While our end goals may be different, we are all striving toward the same thing.

There is a stereotype in crypto that you can get rich with very little crypto. While in some rare cases that is possible; it’s likely that it will never happen to us. With that in consideration, we must always remember that it takes money to make money. We must have money invested in the market. And the amount required that would possibly bring us enough gains to change our lives financially is more than most of us have laying around and available to invest.

That is why we need to get off zero and be investing in the market. Those who have dollar cost averaged regularly have traditionally done very well in this market.

Because most of us don’t have large amounts of available cash to invest in the market. Many people will want to make every dollar count as much as possible. This is why so many people are always hoping that the price of Bitcoin or their favorite crypto will go down. Hoping to be able to buy in at the absolute bottom to have the best chance to increase their gains.

The truth is that prices are still very cheap. Consider everything that Bitcoin has had to contend against in the last year. Yet its price is still at $87k. It looks increasingly likely that the FED will start being less aggressive in its rate hikes, which will cause all financial assets to recover. Especially crypto. This fact alone has me incredibly bullish.

However, it isn’t a straight path to the finish line. Anyone who has been in crypto for a significant amount of time will know that there will be many bumps along the way. Prices will go down, but they will also go up. When in doubt, simply zoom out.

Those who have a long-term timeline and invest in real blue-chip projects instead of the latest meme project or altcoin that no one has ever heard of will be very successful. The key point is that you need to get your crypto portfolio position off zero and begin accumulating. You need to get your seat at the crypto table.

This is a misconception that riches are made during the bull market. This is false. Riches are actually made during bear markets when prices are far away from their all-time highs. We put in the work now and enjoy the fruits of our labor during the bull market. The price of Bitcoin very well could continue going up, or it could drop in the short term. However, during the next bull market, there is no denying that we will all look back to these current price levels and wish that we had bought much more.

How about you? Have you gotten your seat at the crypto table?
