The Laziest Way to Get Started With Crypto in 2026 (Beginner Strategy)

so I've tried pretty much every method out there when it comes to trying to make money with crypto I've tried trading Bitcoin altcoins like ethereum salana nfts even meme coins I've used crypto Bots copy Bots even sniper Bots but there's only one crypto strategy I've tried that has given me consistent reliable results over time and luckily it's also the easiest and the laziest strategy to implement as well in fact discovering this has made my crypto investing so much easier and so much more streamlined and less stressful as well so I thought in this video I would share with you exactly what my strategy is and break down for you exactly how it works now before we get into this you have to understand why this works and this all started for me about 3 years ago when I posted a video here in my channel talking about a crypto experiment that I was documenting and starting and basically the way this experiment worked was I bought about 10 different coins and I wanted to hold them for at least a year to see if I was able to make money holding these coins so I thought I would give you an update three years later on how that experiment went and we can see the lessons I've learned from it so these are the coins right here and what I've done is I've created the spreadsheet that goes over how well they perform so in this column is the price as of the making of the video 3 years ago over here is the current price and in the middle this is the highest price it had been between when I bought the coin when I made the video and now so for instance Bitcoin right here when I made the video Bitcoin was only $42,000 $2,821 as you see right there right now it's about $83,500 but just a month ago it was $109,000 so we can see that was a good investment that one up I actually sold a little bit of it near the top about only about 10% but I am holding the rest of it a lot of these other coins though it's a very different story so ethereum for instance ethereum is the number two coin so this was my one of my sorry one of my bigger Holdings I would say about my third highest one uh this one as of the making of the video was $3,200 I had bought a bunch before that as well but for the sake of the video was $3,200 now it's only $1,800 um and at its peak between those two dates it only went up to about $4,000 and that's just a huge disappointment because prior to that the all-time high for ethereum was well over that so we really thought I really thought that it would return to those all-time highs ethereum uh has consistently done very well every single cycle but not this one is very underperformed this cycle so I didn't sell near the top because I didn't think it was the top so because of that uh I didn't make that much money on ethereum I did make a little bit of profit because I did manage to exit for a little bit of a profit but not that much um and you're going to see that for a lot of these so cardano it never reaches all-time high Unis swap zcash none of these ever returned back to their all-time high so I didn't sell them at the highest point between then and now I waited just a little bit too long and lost money on them and some of the other ones did very poorly uh avax polygon Dash all of those ones only went down in price since I bought them so they never even went up at all so of course I lost money on them sometimes for some of these a lot of money on them for instance Dash uh as of the making of the original video it was $147 per coin now it's only $22 per coin so a lot of losses here in fact the only three coins I really made money on were xrp salana and Bitcoin now xrp when I bought it around 76 cents uh at its peak it was $384 now it's $215 but for this one I mean for about two and a half years it did nothing if we look at xrp here and how it's done over the past uh couple years you see that it did pretty much nothing for a while and then finally shot up so that required a tremendous amount of patience and discipline on my part and this is why I held the other ones so long because I thought that it could do something like this as well where it just does nothing or it maybe even goes down and then pops up but xrp is the only one that did that the other one I made uh good profit on is salana was a one that I not only bought for this experiment but also bought a lot

more of it as well even when it was down as low as $80 and it went up quite a bit I didn't sell near the top timing the top is impossible it's incredibly difficult you know if I sold here I might have thought it was the top but then it went up from there we may still go up again you just never know so it's very stressful and that's what I was experiencing during this entire cycle right should I sell now should I hold should I sell should I hold it was a lot of money for me so it was a very difficult uh few years as I was waiting to sell it but I did eventually exit for a decent profit so overall what were the results here well quite sad I'll be honest if we look at everything except for Bitcoin it was pretty much a wash even though I did quite well with salana and xrp the other losses were so significant that it was a wash they pretty much ate up all of the gains that I made so the only thing I really made money on here was Bitcoin uh the rest of it was just kind of like break even so what happened here well the first thing you need to understand about why I would consider this a failed experiment is that choosing the right coins is incredibly difficult the vast majority of coins fail and just because a coin did well in the past does not mean it's going to do well again far from it we saw that with ethereum but you can see even more examples of that so this website right here shows gives you like a historical snapshot of the top coins at pretty much any point in time but right here we're looking at December 2017 which was the height of one of the bull markets and if you look at some of the coins on this list and the prices you're going to see that over time these drop off of the top 10 top 20 top 30 and are worth much less so for instance this one right here number 19 on the list you can see it did really well in 20 17 during that bull market and you might have thought hey it did well during that one it's going to do well during the next one but as you see right here it never ever did well again we got a small little bump here but that was it and you're going to see that for a lot of coins like this one did well for two cycles and then nothing as well and then nothing so you're going to see this over and over and over again so picking the right coin is incredibly difficult and then even if you do get the right coin like I got with salana timing when exactly to buy it and when exactly to sell it is so difficult to do you're always going to leave some money on the table because you're either going to sell too early or too late and if you hold too long you're going to sell very late and the final mistake I think I made was that I actually overd Diversified I should have just stuck with the coins that I really believed in and really understood well that way if I was going to sell them I would actually understand better when was a good time to sell them so when I realized all this I went back and said what would have happened if I just done that if I had just invested in Bitcoin and nothing else so I ran those numbers and what I saw was that I would actually be up substantially if when I made this video I just put all my investments into Bitcoin or at least all my crypto investments into Bitcoin and nothing else that would have been the better strategy in terms of profit it also would have helped me sleep a lot better at night and just be a lot less stressed out I'm not worried if the price of Bitcoin goes up or down significantly because I believe in the long run it is only going to go up in price this is the only coin that I feel like I really understand or at least I understand it the best and it's the one I believe in the most so if it drops 50% I'm okay with that because I know I'm going to continue to hold it because in the future I think it's going to be worth a lot more and that's my biggest take takeaway from this experiment that the simplest way to make money in crypto that's probably the lowest risk and the only thing that actually worked for me is just buy and hold Bitcoin for the long term like I said before I skimmed off about 10% off the top when it was at all-time highs I think that's okay to do but the majority of it I am buying and holding it and the strategy that I use is something called dollar cost averaging so I buy my Bitcoin on an exchange like Kraken is my favorite change of all the ones that I've tried I think it's just very userfriendly uh very easy to get set up so if you want to start buying crypto yourself highly recommend Kraken I'll leave my affiliate link for it in the description of this video uh that does help my channel out a lot if you use that link and it doesn't cost you anything extra to use it in fact if you use it you will get some sort of signup bonus or some deal I'll have the details about it in the description either way you sign up they walk you through getting your account set up you link a

bank account then once you do you can buy any crypto you want including Bitcoin so this is where I always onboard all my crypto you don't have to buy an entire cry entire Bitcoin you don't have to spend $80,000 you can just start with1 $20 whatever uh make it very easy to purchase and I don't keep my crypto on here I then send it to an external wallet but I think it's the easiest way to onboard crypto um using US dollar or whatever currency that you're using and like I said I'm using a strategy called dollar cost averaging that means I'm putting money into Bitcoin every single month I'm not trying so much to time the market not waiting for the price to be low to buy and then selling it all at the top and then trying to buy low again I'm just putting money in every single month because like I said before I think over the long term it is only going to go up in value so if we look at it for instance let's look at the price of Bitcoin over time let's say you were trying to time the market back here you're like oh let me wait for a big dip to buy and then let me sell up here and then buy a dip here look at this chart does that matter does that strategy matter yeah it might make a little bit of difference but also the risk that you mess up is quite High what if you're waiting here to buy in and you just keep waiting waiting and the opportunity never comes because the price is just going up it doesn't matter what price you bought it in over here you're way up right now as long as you continue to hold it and I believe personally my belief is that this is going to be what it's like in the future as well we're going to look back right now just like I'm looking back right now and saying man I wish I bought more Bitcoin at $42,000 I think I'm going to look back and say man I wish I bought more Bitcoin at $85,000 and whether it's 85 or 90 or 75 it's not going to make a huge difference I don't think in the long run so that's how I'm going to handle 90% of my crypto investments just putting it into Bitcoin dollar cost averaging every single month then I'm thinking about saving 5% of my crypto Investments to potentially buy some altcoins that I think in the short term could outperform Bitcoin then I would sell them and rotate that profit in the Bitcoin but honestly after looking at the results of this experiment I'm hesitant to even do that but I will at least consider it for the future and then the last 5% I'm going to use to actively day trade crypto cryto which is something I hope to talk about in a future video cuz I have been experimenting a lot with that now the last piece of this that I didn't cover in this video were my cryptobots so this was part of the experiment as well I was running these cryptobots I have a lot of thoughts on these so if I do talk about them I want to make an entirely separate video about it so if you're interested in hearing an update on how my cryptobots went leave a comment down below and let me know otherwise if you want start buying crypto or Bitcoin yourself consider using my affiliate link for Kraken in the description down below then subscribe to the channel and I'll see you in the next video bye for now
