The Intelligent Crypto Investor

A Simple Strategy for Building Wealth in a New Financial World

By: John Hargrave

Narrated by: John Hargrave

Crypto just crossed the tipping point, and everything you thought you knew about investing is about to change. The world's biggest institutions are pouring billions into bitcoin―while most mainstream investors are still sitting on the sidelines, frozen by fear.

That's where The Intelligent Crypto Investor comes in. Backed by seven years of real-world results, this groundbreaking book shows how adding just a small slice of crypto (10% or less) to a balanced portfolio can dramatically improve long-term returns―outperforming traditional portfolios by more than 65%. Through the stories of legendary investors like Warren Buffett, Jack Bogle, and Cathie Wood, bestselling author John Hargrave unveils a clear, accessible strategy for adding bitcoin and other high-quality crypto assets to your portfolio―with minimal risk and maximum intelligence.

You'll discover the simple 60/30/10 portfolio strategy that has crushed Wall Street; how legendary investors would think about crypto today; the three metrics that separate crypto winners from the wannabes; how to safely earn interest on your crypto through staking; and why Wall Street is quietly investing billions into crypto―and how you can do it better.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Understandable for all investors

I loved John’s no-nonsense approach to crypto paired with his undeniable humor. The chapter introductions about real world investors made the content relatable. Worth the read or listen!

Evolution of money

Author painstakingly explains in Parts I and II where modern finance is by telling antidotes about the mostly men who shaped investing. The author has a hefty amount of skepticism and cautionary tales to avoid the pitfalls and traps of crypto investing. Author saves the best for last by predicting the end of dollar dominance and makes bets on the future of programmable money where code creates rules to build a better future. I felt inspired to keep reading and studying in this space.
