“The price can go up and down, but if you watch the fundamentals, and the energy is growing and the smartest people in the world are joining, then it will go up.” - Dave Levine

There’s much more than Bitcoin.

Every day a new token, coin, technology, or platform is released to the market. Each has its own angle or code that has investors and crypto-experts talking. While many are worth noticing, the reality is that most aren’t what they’re hyped up to be. And it’s up to us to separate the real up-and-comers from the ones that will inevitably fizzle out.

On today’s episode of The Tai Lopez BitcoinCrypto Mentor Mastermind show we are joined by Dave Levine. Dave is the world’s certified expert at detecting which coins deserve our attention. With his personal business on autopilot making $14 million/year, Dave has committed his entire life to researching and understanding cryptocurrency. His insights are rooted in fact and will undoubtedly help propel us to make the $700,000 he’s made in the past year investing in cryptocurrency.
