The Most Important Video I’ll Make This Year

Description

I think the market is at a crossroads, and the altcoin flush of October 10, 2025 will leave lasting damage to the altcoin space for a while. Fortunately for farmers, there are still many ways to make money by putting ourselves in a position to get lucky via airdrops. In this video I discuss why I started to hedge my portfolio for the end of the cycle, how to construct an all-weather portfolio, and why I think capital preservation is more important than capital gains right now. I hope I am wrong, but only time will tell!

MY VALUES: QUALITY OVER QUANTITY A lot of content creators are incentivized to pump out content for ad revenue. Taiki has never run YouTube ads on his channel because he believes in creating quality content, not monetizing your eyeballs via ads. On top of not running any YouTube ads, Taiki has never participated in a paid promotion, a channel sponsorship, or even a CEX ref-link. PREMIUM RESEARCH HFAResearch offers a Premium subscription.
