Why I Avoid Crowds

Hope you're enjoying the beginning of Labor Day weekend in the States!

Tomorrow, I’m planning to do exactly what I did last weekend:
take a nap by the lake.

Last weekend, I drove down to Lake Manapouri, tucked away in the Deep South of New Zealand.

It’s so isolated that in the hour I was there, I only saw one other person. The only sound was the water massaging the shore.

Here's a pic I took last weekend:

As I drifted off by the water, I couldn’t help but think how lucky I am to be just an hour’s drive from some of the most beautiful places on the planet.

It really is a secret gem.

When I go on road trips, find new hiking trails, or camp, I never seek out the popular spots. I’m always chasing the quieter one, where sometimes my partner and I are the only people for miles.

That same spirit inspires how I approach the crypto markets.

Everyone’s glued to the charts that have already tripled. Nobody wants to touch the tokens without the spotlight.

But I keep writing about infrastructure plays, the ones quietly powering the adoption of blockchain technology.

While Ethereum tripled, these names stayed flat.

Now? They’re breaking out to six-month highs… and no one’s paying attention.

Here's what the crypto ecosystem looks like outside the big coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana.

It's like stumbling onto a pristine campsite with no tourists.

Unexplored, untouched, the perfect place to settle in.

That’s how I trade crypto.

Wishing you a peaceful long weekend—and some quiet away from the crowds.
