This past week, the release of the $TRUMP coin has everyone in the crypto space buzzing about memecoins. Stories of people making thousands—or even millions—of dollars from these coins are everywhere, and honestly, I couldn’t help but get curious. I started diving in, researching how people were turning small investments into life-changing sums of money.
​
It’s exciting—crypto is truly popping off right now. Major institutions are recognizing its potential too. Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, even suggested that bitcoin could hit $700,000 if funds allocate just 2-5% of their investments into it. It’s clear that cryptocurrency isn’t just a trend anymore; it’s becoming a major part of the financial world.
​
But as I was researching and thinking about the possibilities, I was reminded of a conversation I had on one of my podcast episodes over a year ago. I spoke with entrepreneur, Faiz Imran, who shared a piece of advice that stuck with me: “Don’t chase after quick, easy money.” At first, it sounded simple, almost obvious. But the more I thought about it and the more I’ve seen people rush into crypto hoping to strike it rich, the more I realized how true it is.
​
Making money quickly might feel like success in the moment, but without the skills and experience to back it up, it’s like building on sand—it won’t last. Even if you make a lot of money from crypto or memecoins, it doesn’t teach you real-world skills or make you more valuable in the marketplace. And without those skills, you’re likely to lose that money just as fast as you made it.
​
That’s why, while crypto is an amazing way to invest your money, it shouldn’t be your primary way to make it. The real focus should be on building something sustainable—developing skills, solving problems, and creating value. Memecoins might be the talk of the moment, but the real wealth comes from what you learn and build for the long run.
