Ever wonder what's really happening behind those flashy crypto promotions and million-dollar influencer deals? In this raw, unfiltered conversation with crypto entrepreneur James, we strip away the hype to reveal the uncomfortable truths about blockchain technology, cryptocurrency investments, and the often-manipulated world of digital assets.
James pulls no punches as he shares his journey from ambitious 19-year-old recruitment company founder to successful crypto influencer. With refreshing honesty, he explains how blockchain works as "an online ledger that tracks transactions" and why it's revolutionizing payments and property transactions worldwide. But he also drops a bombshell that most won't admit: "95 percent of people lose money in crypto" because they don't understand what they're buying or when to sell.
The conversation takes fascinating turns as James reveals the inner workings of meme coins (he was involved in over 100 last year alone), the truth about paid promotions, and how top crypto influencers can earn 1-3 million dollars monthly. We explore the dark underbelly of the crypto space, including scams, botted accounts, and paid awards that create an illusion of credibility. His advice for newcomers? Invest time in education before investing money.
Perhaps most compelling is James' personal revelation about overcoming cocaine addiction, a struggle that transformed his outlook on life and business. "When you wake up every single day and the first thing you think of is when you're going to do drugs, once you get through that, the hardest battle is with yourself," he shares. This experience shaped his disciplined approach to business, relationships, and purpose—a philosophy that every challenge after addiction seems manageable by comparison.
Whether you're crypto-curious, already invested, or simply fascinated by the psychology of success, this episode offers valuable insights about wealth, freedom, and the relentless pursuit of growth. What limiting beliefs or habits might you need to detach from to reach your full potential?
