hi guys it's mark so let me start off by
[2]
saying this if you'd have asked me a few
[3]
years ago about cryptocurrency
[5]
then i would have probably just thought
[7]
it was a waste of time i think
[8]
lots of people had the same opinion as
[10]
me but as i learned more about why it's
[12]
so valuable and also the technology
[15]
behind it i've completely changed my
[17]
mind who said oldies like me were stuck
[19]
in the past
[20]
in one of my previous videos i invested
[22]
a hundred dollars into seven
[23]
different digital coins so today one
[26]
month on i thought it'd be good to talk
[27]
through why i made each investment
[29]
discuss the profit
[31]
or loss and also explain how you can
[33]
invest if you're just a beginner all
[35]
after you hit that cheeky like button
[36]
for the algorithm so let's start off
[38]
with the original and the most
[39]
well-known cryptocurrency
[41]
bitcoin so it might seem strange after
[43]
being so against bitcoin and
[44]
cryptocurrency that i now have over 70
[47]
000 worth of bitcoin in my blotfire
[49]
account so i'm going to explain a little
[51]
bit behind my thought process about why
[53]
it's a good investment opportunity as i
[55]
mentioned before bitcoin is extremely
[57]
volatile which could be seen as a risk
[58]
but as the market fluctuates so much it
[61]
makes it much more interesting for me
[62]
the more i've been investing in bitcoin
[64]
i've noticed that it seems to find a
[66]
support level
[67]
and then it dips all of a sudden and
[69]
that gives me a chance to buy even more
[71]
bitcoin has also been adopted on a huge
[73]
scale with the likes of paypal now
[75]
fast tracking its rollout and allowing
[77]
all eligible customers in the us to buy
[79]
sell and hold bitcoin the more bitcoin
[81]
gets accepted by the mainstream
[83]
financial apps and software
[85]
the more it gets ingrained in our
[86]
society and therefore is unlikely to
[88]
drop below a certain value
[90]
something i've noticed when people talk
[92]
about cryptocurrency they often refer to
[94]
it as
[95]
bitcoin and the words are
[96]
interchangeable for a lot of people
[98]
i've even caught myself doing it a few
[100]
times this is because bitcoin has the
[102]
first mover advantage as it's the
[104]
original this is the same reason why the
[106]
iphone and the ipad are so successful
[109]
even once other technologies have caught
[111]
up they still have that advantage as
[113]
people know and trust them so
[114]
let's look at the hundred dollars i
[116]
invested in bitcoin during my last video
[118]
so we've made
[119]
32 return in one month which means we've
[122]
made a profit of 32.83
[125]
so far and by the time i post this video
[128]
it might be even more as bitcoin seems
[130]
to be having a bit of an explosion at
[131]
the moment now that could be down to
[133]
coinbase going public and
[135]
all the buzz around that and that
[136]
reminds me if you want to pick up
[138]
ten dollars of free bitcoin then feel
[140]
free to use my coinbase link in the
[142]
description number two
[143]
ethereum ethereum is the second most
[145]
popular cryptocurrency and also
[147]
my second largest investment in the
[149]
crypto world so i chose to invest in
[152]
ethereum for a few different reasons
[154]
i see it a lot like airbnb and uber
[157]
these were both very disruptive to their
[159]
industries
[160]
and ethereum could have the same impact
[162]
on the way we pay for everything
[164]
the ethereum technology actually makes
[166]
your money smart
[167]
when you exchange your dollar for
[169]
ethereum it's almost like it goes into
[171]
the surgery room
[172]
just like that and it comes out with an
[174]
elon musk chip inside it
[176]
effectively giving it a brain i do
[178]
explain more about this technology and
[180]
how it works in my last video
[181]
but it's a big reason why i think it's
[183]
slightly different from bitcoin and
[185]
therefore
[186]
isn't a direct competitor so it should
[188]
be able to grow
[189]
independently i think of it a bit like
[191]
lewis hamilton and tiger woods
[193]
they're both brilliant at the sports
[194]
they do but at the same time they're not
[196]
competing against each other
[198]
i also happen to love both of these
[199]
sports equally so i'm just going to put
[201]
it out there if either youtube guys
[203]
fancy going head to head
[204]
give me a ring the thing that sealed the
[206]
deal for me is that it's easy to trade
[208]
and therefore its popularity and
[210]
valuation is growing so it was worth
[212]
investing some money and seeing
[214]
where it goes currently the hundred
[215]
dollars i invested in the last video has
[217]
made
[218]
49 return meaning i have made a profit
[221]
of 49.9
[222]
which is better than the bitcoin
[224]
investment even though these returns are
[226]
absolutely amazing i also think it's
[228]
important to have some more established
[230]
investments in the stock market if
[231]
you're from the us and you want to pick
[233]
up a free stock from the investing
[235]
social network platformpublic.com worth
[237]
up to 50 i'll leave a link below and if
[240]
you're from the uk
[241]
then free trade are also giving away
[243]
free stock worth up to two hundred pound
[245]
these three stocks are really a
[247]
no-brainer as they're just a way to get
[248]
some free money
[249]
just remember to fund your account with
[251]
a few dollars now we're getting into the
[253]
real
[253]
alternative coin territory let's kick
[255]
things off with cardano when i'm looking
[257]
for a good investment i don't always
[259]
just
[259]
look at the business or in this case the
[262]
digital coin
[263]
i look at the people behind it and if i
[265]
believe in them then i'll invest
[267]
not everything can be broken down into a
[269]
spreadsheet the team behind cardano
[271]
looks strong especially comparing their
[273]
credentials to other coins the founder
[275]
charles hodgkinson was previously
[277]
involved in the early development of
[279]
bitcoin and ethereum
[280]
which currently occupy the top spots
[283]
i've always thought this way since i
[284]
started my first business
[286]
the bank manager that gave me the loan
[288]
believed in me and not necessarily in my
[290]
business plan i'm also very interested
[292]
in the fact that businesses seem to be
[294]
partnering with cardano such as
[295]
travala.com
[297]
who now let their users book travel
[299]
accommodation using cardano
[300]
gardano is also not currently available
[303]
on coinbase which is one of the most
[305]
popular places to buy crypto
[307]
this therefore makes it harder for
[308]
people to access my thinking is when
[310]
they add it to the platform the prices
[312]
should increase as there'll be more
[314]
demand
[314]
my hundred dollar investment is now
[316]
worth 144.79
[320]
in one month which gives me a return of
[322]
nearly 45
[324]
these alternative coins may be less
[326]
popular but i believe it's important to
[328]
invest in a few as they have the
[330]
potential to really explode
[332]
like in the early days of bitcoin i used
[334]
the binance app to purchase this coin
[336]
and the process was pretty simple
[338]
the next alternative coin is litecoin
[340]
this is actually one of the oldest
[342]
cryptocurrency
[343]
and it's based on bitcoin's code i made
[346]
this investment as in theory it should
[348]
be superior to bitcoin however
[350]
it doesn't have that first mover
[351]
advantage so i'm not sure that it'll
[353]
ever catch up
[354]
one of the issues with bitcoin is that
[356]
it takes 10 minutes to make a payment
[358]
whereas litecoin is able to process the
[360]
same transaction in under one second
[362]
so just thinking about this in a
[364]
practical way it would be much more
[366]
convenient to pay for your shopping in
[368]
litecoin
[368]
rather than bitcoin as you wouldn't have
[370]
to wait at the till for 10 minutes
[372]
before you can take your shopping away
[374]
i'd end up eating all the food at the
[375]
checkout on the other hand i don't think
[377]
people see bitcoin as a way for paying
[379]
for everyday
[380]
items it's more of a store of value like
[383]
gold
[383]
i also think that ethereum is a superior
[385]
way to pay for things because of its
[387]
smart contract technology
[389]
saying this i did invest a hundred
[391]
dollars as a bit of an experiment
[393]
and that litecoin is now worth 151.96
[398]
which is the best return yet of 52
[401]
this is another coin that is easily
[403]
bought through the coinbase app the next
[404]
investment i'm really excited about it's
[407]
called chain link
[408]
i decided to make this investment as i
[410]
personally believe that smart money is
[412]
where we're going in the future
[413]
if that reality becomes true then chain
[416]
link will be a crucial part of that
[417]
journey
[418]
chain link like the name suggests acts
[420]
like a link or
[421]
even a bridge between the new blockchain
[423]
technology and the old systems we still
[426]
use which aren't going to be going away
[427]
anytime soon think of it a bit like a
[429]
grandpa
[430]
trying to talk to a 10 year old kid
[432]
playing minecraft
[433]
they're almost speaking entirely
[435]
different languages
[436]
and they sometimes need a bridge between
[438]
them so they can understand each other
[440]
which is often the kids parents of
[442]
course i wouldn't have any trouble
[444]
because i'm
[444]
down with the kids in other words chain
[446]
link is crucial to things like smart
[448]
contracts as without them
[450]
they wouldn't be able to access
[451]
information they need from our existing
[453]
systems
[454]
but mark surely chain link isn't the
[456]
only technology that can bridge the gap
[458]
between the old and the new
[459]
yes i do agree however there is a lack
[462]
of competition and chain link is
[463]
certainly the market leader at the
[465]
moment so that's why i think it's the
[467]
best bet
[467]
my hundred dollar investment one month
[469]
ago is now worth
[472]
132.81 which means
[474]
i've made about 33 return now we come to
[477]
stella which could be my favorite name
[479]
of any crypto because it sounds a lot
[481]
like one of my favorite films
[482]
interstellar my reasoning behind this
[485]
investment is there is a gap in the
[486]
market for a low-cost way to transfer
[489]
currencies across borders
[490]
just think about it whenever you have to
[492]
pay someone in a different country
[494]
or even change your money when you go on
[496]
vacation
[497]
someone is always taking a cut off the
[499]
top i certainly know that's annoyed me
[501]
in the past but stella is extremely
[503]
cheap and
[504]
actually could be the solution to this
[505]
issue they've already built some major
[507]
relationships with big companies such as
[509]
ibm
[510]
and samsung even after all of this
[512]
they're relatively unknown and with an
[514]
extremely small market cap
[516]
compared to the big boys like bitcoin
[518]
and ethereum it's just an amazing
[520]
technology that's been used more and
[522]
more behind the scenes
[523]
my hundred dollar investment is now
[525]
worth 142.83
[529]
which if you haven't worked it out yet
[530]
it's nearly 43
[532]
return i'm going to hold on to this one
[534]
and see where it goes in the future as i
[536]
still believe it will grow
[537]
even more in value number seven polka
[540]
dot one of the main reasons i invested
[541]
in polkadot is because it's a faultless
[544]
network
[544]
no i'm not saying it just uses
[546]
chopsticks or something like that what i
[548]
mean by
[548]
faultless is that the community never
[551]
splits and it never goes down a
[552]
different path this happened in 2017
[555]
with bitcoin and led to the creation of
[557]
bitcoin cash then bitcoin cash had the
[560]
same issue in 2018 when it's split again
[562]
it's all a bit of a headache
[564]
i like how polka dot can improve itself
[566]
without these hard forks and just
[568]
upgrades itself seamlessly i believe
[570]
this
[570]
makes it a lot more versatile than a lot
[572]
of its competition
[573]
think of it like a charmander eventually
[575]
evolving into a charizard without having
[578]
to be a different pokemon my hundred
[580]
dollar investment is now
[581]
worth 166.58
[585]
so my faith in the dot coin seems well
[587]
placed at the moment
[588]
with a 66 return this is another coin
[592]
that
[592]
isn't currently on coinbase so i use the
[594]
finance app to invest
[596]
so as you can see my total profit if i
[598]
sold today would be
[601]
321 which means i've made 45.8
[605]
return without doing anything other than
[608]
investing and don't think i forgot
[610]
at the end of my last crypto video i
[612]
also invested in one full bitcoin
[614]
which at the time of purchase was 47
[617]
dollars however at the time of filming
[620]
this video it's now worth
[621]
over sixty two thousand dollars this is
[624]
a profit of just over fifteen thousand
[627]
dollars if i sold today
[628]
but i'm not going to do that because i
[630]
want to see it make 100k
[632]
bitcoin to the moon so i'm going to
[634]
