By Matthew Hayward Introduction When investing in cryptocurrency, many newcomers assume a lower price tag means a better opportunity. It’s tempting to think a coin like Dogecoin, priced under a dollar, has more growth potential than Bitcoin, which costs tens of thousands per coin. However, this common assumption can lead to costly mistakes. Let’s uncover why price isn’t the whole story. The Price of a Share Doesn’t Equal Value Think of stock prices like slices of pizza. A $300 share is just one slice from a company, while a $150 share is another slice from a different company. The price of the slice tells you nothing about the size of the pizza (the company’s value). A smaller pizza might have expensive slices, and a giant pizza might have cheap slices. Why Two Shares of $300 Can Beat Six Shares of $150 Owning more slices of a weaker pizza doesn’t mean you’re getting more food. If the $300 company is growing faster, making better profits, and has strong prospects, its slices are worth ...

  By Matthew Hayward Chainlink price at the time of this post is $17.41 The world of finance is on flux with the latest tech advances, and at the center of it all is Chainlink, working hand in hand with the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications (SWIFT), the giant in global banking communications. This isn't just a tech hook-up; it's a game-changing move that's knitting together the old-school financial sector with the fast-paced world of digital currencies and assets. Chainlink is more than a piece of the puzzle; it's the core that's driving this big change. It's all about offering up-to-the-minute, trustworthy data to those smart contracts running on the blockchain, helping them gel with the external financial systems. This is key for marrying blockchain tech with the financial institutions and their established ways, under the watchful eyes of SWIFT. Chainlinks' role is critical in linking different blockchains and banking systems, e...

By Matthew Hayward BTC price at the time of this publication: $69,611.07 I hope you all survived the bear market and accumulated while prices were depressed. Now that Bitcoin has hit a new all-time high of $70,184 , people are talking about it again. This always makes for an interesting time when people who got in late from the previous cycle and held for two years are back to even or slightly up and anxious to get out, while others are just buying in for the first time. Most of us who have been in longer than one cycle are looking for this run's new high, not the new bottom; most of us are only considering selling now if we are all in and don't hold cash. Then perhaps we are cashing out what we need to pay bills and buy stuff, but we are not looking to get out; some may still be adding to our bags via dollar cost average (DCA) . I will not give anyone investment advice, but I will share what I am doing and my reasoning. But first, one of the most important things to recognize...

By Matthew Hayward Current Price of Bitcoin $27,203 The world of cryptocurrencies has been a hot topic in recent years, and many people have been hesitant to invest due to the huge swings in price and value. However, I believe that this should not be a reason to avoid investing in cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin, as the technology has far-reaching implications that will change how the world operates . In this article, I'll explain why you should not let the cryptocurrency market's volatility deter you from investing in blue-chip cryptos. First and foremost, it's important to understand that cryptocurrencies are a relatively new technology , and their use cases and implementation have only scratched the surface. As a result, these cryptocurrencies' adoption and market cap are small, making them incredibly volatile and easy to manipulate in price. However, this is precisely why we should invest in them - we are early in the game, and this technology will revolution...

By Matthew Hayward In today’s USA Today, there is a brief commentary about   investing in Gold written by Matt Krantz. He claims that “Gold is an extremely risky asset,” and he hopes investors are ready with a backup plan if Gold crashes. He qualifies the risky asset based on current and past market volatility regarding Gold. He also writes his commentary based on recent investors; though he does not directly say that, he does comment that he is looking at this year’s yield. If I were to get a chance to speak with Matt, I might ask him how Gold is doing compared to the dollar. I would ask him why he believes Gold investors have lost big time and hopefully had a backup plan. First of all, Gold has dropped nearly $800 in the last year, but that was only after a rise of nearly $1500 an oz . If you invested before July 2010 , you are still in the green with your investment.  I was screaming at friends and family to invest in Gold, even to liquidate their retirement and...
