I’m 30, nearly 31 and coming up on my tenth year in crypto.

I’ve seen multiple cycles, hype phases, market crashes and reinventions. I was around when ETH was $20, when BTC was a few hundred dollars, when Solana first launched and barely anyone cared. This isn't to flex, but rather to give you context. Time in markets changes how you think.

That perspective matters.

I’ve built my own wealth, taken risks most people avoid and earned the freedom to live life on my terms. But money was never the end goal. Money is leverage, security, time, optionality. If money isn’t working for you, it’s being wasted.

I grew up watching the 9 - 5 slowly drain capable people. Smart, hard-working individuals stuck trading time for just enough comfort to survive. I knew early I wanted a different path, not an easier one just a more intentional one where I have control.

Markets became my vehicle.

Trading taught me discipline, probability and how to lose properly. I’ve been scammed, I’ve been in debt, I’ve lost more money than people earn in their lifetime. But those moments didn’t break me, they forced me to adapt. Your lowest points shape your future if you’re willing to learn from them.

What separates me from most traders isn’t conviction or bold predictions. It’s process. I’m a qualified teacher by background and that mindset never left. I care deeply about how people learn. Anyone can win in a bull market. Very few understand why.

Consistency beat novelty for me. Systems beat emotion. Budgeting, automation, ETFs, managed funds, crypto compounding quietly over time. I took risks, but they were calculated. That’s how you escape the status quo without burning yourself out.

This account exists because I still have the urge to teach.

Most people around me don’t live in the markets. They don’t want to talk about probabilities, structure or why price behaves the way it does. X became my outlet: a place to share trades and ideas in real time, organise my thinking and learn in public without pretending I have it all figured out.

I don’t care about calling tops or bottoms. I care about helping people understand why markets move, how to stack probability in their favour and how to build routines that survive over time.

That philosophy is what led to @gtgco.

GTG isn’t a signals group. It’s a learning environment, a community built around process, shared experience and long term thinking. I still learn every day from the people inside it. I show up because I care and because understanding compounds just like capital does.

I’ll never glorify wealth or build my identity around things. Health, family, time and freedom matter far more to me than status. No one remembers what you owned - they remember who you were.

My goal is simple: refine my edge, share what I learn and help others shortcut years of confusion without selling false certainty.

If I can help someone with $5,000 build discipline.
If I can help someone take a risk on themselves.
If I can help someone escape a system that’s quietly grinding them down.

Then this account is doing exactly what it’s meant to do. Future me will be proud if I stay on this path.
