1:  Do Your Own Research (#DYOR)

Scenario: Bob see's people saying BUY BUY BUY! on Token-X -the price is climbing- Bob doesn't know what Token-X is, but he whips out his money bags and spends all of his money getting as much as he can. 24 hours later, Token-X crashes and Bob is left with 1/100th of his  investment.  He decides to sell and take the loss.

Where did Bob go wrong? 

A: Bob didn't immediately visit the website for Token-X and read the "Whitepapers" and roadmap which would have told Bob what Token-X is and what it does and why it's got a future.

B: Bob invested money he couldn't afford to lose. Always a bad practice.

C: Bob sold when he should have held "#HODL" You never know, Token-X might go back up again, but that depends on what's in the whitepapers (See A).

Always do your own research, not only on  the cryptocurrency token of the week, but on the whole eco-system of cryptocurrency itself. Understand the fundamentals of Decentralized Finance and what that actually means.

2: Never invest what you can't afford to lose.

Sometimes, the market will crash and some tokens won't recover. If you're trying to be a "trader" and buy low to sell high to buy low to sell high etc. etc. then you need to be sure that you're using money you won't need a week later for rent or food. The emotion of "panic" will cause your mind to make stupid decisions and you'll end up broke.

3: Keep emotion out of your trading.

Too many stubborn people fall in love with a crypto-currency and go all in. They think that because it's "destined" to rise that  they must hold it and buy more. Sometimes this is true, but crypto-currency is always evolving, newer and better technologies are emerging from trial and error and some tokens cannot compete. Some tokens are actually useless, but are cute, like #Dogecoin, which is pumped by celebrities, who undoubtedly have the means to buy millions, pump them with a few choice words, then sell them off when all the peasants raise the price by buying them up. Sometimes the peasants can make a few bucks, but don't get attached to coins that have no fundamentals or tech. Especially when there's no  cap on the supply.

4: Understand Market Cap.

Market Capitalization is the (value of the coin x  circulating supply). The circulating supply is how many of that coin is out on the market for buyers and sellers to exchange. Bitcoin #BTC has a circulating supply of 18 million with a total supply of 21 million that will ever exist. Scarcity =value, that's why Bitcoin is worth over $50,000 per coin, plus is the alpha-crypto, the first. 

People will tell you to get into a coin on the cheap, only .0000000005/coin, but a little research will show you that the coin has a circulating supply of 100 quadrillion coins and has no case-use. ie. the coin does nothing. Now, something like #Safemoon started with a supply of 1 quadrillion coins, but has employed a #Tokenomics mechanism which burns 5% after each trade, while offering another 5% to a liquidity pool that will keep the coin stable. So essentially,  in time, as the coins supply drops, the value increases and it's pool of liquidity becomes a natural reserve. Genius.  Then you have #Doge coin that has no max-supply and does nothing. Between BTC, SAFEMOON and DOGE, smart investors will avoid DOGE.

5: Fear Of Missing Out (#FOMO)

You will never experience the fear of missing out if you study and understand the first 4 commandments. FOMO is built by hype with no research. Do Your Own Research.

6: Don't trade chaotically.

Have a strategy and a plan. Do your research. Know what you're buying into and why. If the tech is good, the price will rise. #DigiByte or #DGB, is basically Bitcoin, except 40 times faster, 100% decentralized and has genius level tech protecting it. When you find coins such as this then you must invest long-term. Hold it and buy on the dips. Thus it is the same with Bitcoin and Etherium. These power cryptos are core to the DeFi multiverse and should never be traded recklessly.

7: You can avoid losses by not selling during the dips. 

Fees are a killer for traders who don't do their research. Buying and selling crypto incurs fees from the exchanges you're on and if you're not making profitable trades, you're going to lose more than your initial investment.   There are no crystal balls, but selling when the currency has fallen below your purchase price and then paying the fee on top of the loss is a double whammy. If you have done your research and the coin is strong technically then the price will go back up eventually, wait.

If you need to trade off some BTC to buy into a strong new coin (because you have no free cash flow, then take the hit and be sure the new coin you're investing into can give you a return that will allow you to sell a small portion to replenish the BTC you borrowed from yourself.

8:  Keep your Seed Phrases well protected.

If you can't access your crypto, it's not yours. The exchanges own your crypto, so unless you have a personal wallet (highly recommended), you're going to need to keep your seed phrases in a fireproof safe. KEEP ORGANIZED. Make sure you write a will for your loved ones with all of your holdings and phrases so they don't get left out.

9: Volatility will occur. 

Crypto-currency is a calm sea, a stormy sea and a voyage to Valhalla if you play it right. Do not panic. Do not panic. Do not panic. Prices will go way up and way down. Always look at the 12 month chart, not the 24 hour chart. 

10: Have Fun.

Crypto-currency is a whole new system of finance that will eventually be the norm. Fiat currencies are doomed. The endless printing of the US Dollar means an endless circulating supply and that means inflation. Crypto is deflationary, it increases in value over time. Crypto is also decentralized, meaning there is no "central bank" or central anything controlling the flow. Bob can send 1 BTC to Beth as if he was handing her a block of gold. 

So have fun. Know what you're investing in and don't panic. The only thing that can stop cryptocurrency is a total loss of internet and if that happens, money won't matter anyway. 

If you're into cryptocurrency or are looking for ways to learn about it then I have the site for you. It's called Torum, and it's kind of like Twitter, only cooler because everyone on there is talking about the currency of the future. For anyone who doesn't know what cryptocurrency is, or maybe doesn't fully understand it, Torum is the place to be.  You create an account and then you can ask any question you want and people will answer you. Pretty amazing. 
​
The site was created by some pretty badass dudes in Malaysia who believe that people should have a space to discuss cryptocurrency, kind of like a digital Wall Street, but one that never sleeps. The people on Torum are exceptionally cool and really nice. If you're looking for engagement, you'll have no troubles on Torum.

Here's the best part though... Torum has it's own cryptocurrency, called XTM, and it's worth real money, in the real world, (yes really) and the best part is, you can earn it simply by being on Torum and talking to people. I kid you not. Torum also has daily and weekly missions you can do and if you do them enough, you'll see your XTM build pretty quickly. 

As a new Torum member myself, I've earned over 120 XTM in just a hours of being there and as Torum gets more popular, XTM gets more valuable. Think about it. Before anyone knew about Bitcoin it was only a few dollars, but look now and you'll see that only one is worth $19,000, and yes, that's real money.

If you'd like to join Torum use my link below and you'll get a free 75 XTM. Come find me @JoeTremblay and I'll follow you back. 

The game of life is as great as you make it. Everything that happens to you or does not happen for you is completely in your own control. You can live a life being the effect of other people’s creations or you can be the creator that others become interested in. The reason movie stars, and movie producers are paid so much money is because they created something, and we paid our money and time for their creation. Be the creator. One of the best ways to do that is to communicate and there are varying degrees of effectiveness to communicating outlined below.

The power and effectiveness of the various methods of contact:

• Most Effective: Physical Face to Face
• Highly Effective: Video Call
• Effective: Phone Call
• Moderately Effective: Text
• Semi-Effective: Personal E-mail

How you choose to communicate is up to you, but once you start, you are on your way to an amazing number of changes that you will not even believe.

There are 8 vital steps to start making magic happen listed below. Follow them to a T and do not waiver once you start. Not all your communications will be received, acknowledged or returned, but don’t let that slow you down.

1: Create goals.

This seems too simple, but it is the most important step to follow. A life without purpose is not a life at all. There must be something you are aiming for in life. Something big, way up there in the future. Some people will say their number one goal is to be rich. That is a fine goal. Though, one cannot simply wish to be rich without at least a dozen other goals to precede it. One needs to create a path of goals that lead to being rich in order for it to be so. Then, when that goal is met, new goals must be created, or unhappiness shall surely follow. So, make a few ultimate goals and then create all the goals that lead to the ultimate goals. Use the remaining steps below to help you get there.

2: Contact everyone you know at least once per month.

See what people are up to. How are they? What’s new in their life? Do not look to Facebook for this information, but instead, go to their house, call them, or send them a text or email. (See communication effectiveness chart above). If people present you with a problem that they are facing then say the following, “How can I help?” and then proceed accordingly.

3: Create at least one post each day on all your social media platforms.

When you do not post on social media, people forget about you. It is the nature of the world we live in. Want proof? Turn off your birthday notifications and see how many friends wish you a Happy Birthday… you will not find many that do. You must communicate that you are alive. When you make a post, it can be about anything, it does not matter. Make sure you acknowledge and reply to all comments. If someone is negative or trolling, go ahead block them because you do not need them in your life.

4: Do one good deed per day.

Find someone to help and help them. It could be a homeless person who needs a few bucks. It could be picking up trash on your street or feeding a stray cat. Don’t ask for anything in return and don’t tell anyone that you’ve done it. Keep it to yourself, this is very important. Commit to just ONE good deed per day and don’t go to sleep until it’s done.

5: Create something and share it.

This could be anything from a drawing, a painting, a song, a coffee table or a short story. The sky is the limit. Just create something and share that you created it. If you really like what you did, keep doing it! If you do not have an artistic bone in your body (highly unlikely) then do your best anyway. Creating is living and it will keep your soul happy.

6: Accept and participate in every communication and invitation.

Whether it’s a telemarketing call or a friend asking you to go bowling. Do it. Stay away from illegal activities or Nigerian Scammers but make everything else a go. If you get a call from a telemarketer who wants to sell you a vacation package, hear them out! You never know, it might be a great deal and you’ll have made their day better no matter the outcome. The key to this step is to be interested. Just be interested.

7: Eat and Sleep better.

Are you eating tons of junk food or fast food? Stop. Are you staying up too late and getting up early? Stop. Eat healthy and get the number of hours of sleep that your body requires each night. The body is a machine and it needs to be taken care of. The healthier your body is, the healthier your mind is, and a healthy mind can communicate and create a very bright future indeed.

8: Exercise.

You lose what you do not use. Sitting all day is worse than smoking. Every cell in your body has a unique job and what they hate most is being unemployed. Out of work cells get angry and things start breaking down. If you want your body to be happy and your mind to be sharp, exercise daily and make sure that every part of your body gets to participate. Walking is great but jogging or running is better. Not only could you possibly lose weight, but you will also strengthen your vascular system and heart. The key to longevity is using energy. Energy begets energy.

​The great secret to happiness is to be a part of life. You have to live, to live. If you start communicating and getting involved with people, you’ll start to open up new communication lines and areas of activity that were hitherto unknown. Follow all the above 8 steps and your life will change for the better before you know it. 

 It's been a crazy year, but it will get better. 

Keep your chin up.
Don't lose hope.
Turn off the news.
Vote for freedom.
Hug and cherish your loved ones.
Strive to be as successful as you can be and don't stop until it's real.

​2021 is going to be amazing.

My family and I are back in Las Vegas.

I'm looking for work and looking for film projects.

Wish us luck!

Hello, hello!

2: ONE  MORE DAY: This is my short film that I'm currently trying to get funding for and I need it. It's a suicide prevention short film that I would like to get done before 2020. If you can help support it in anyway, that'd rock! I have a  tab for it on this website (see "short Film") 

Or you can just go straight to the GoFundMe page below.

Talk to you soon!

​2018 was a total bust. 2019 is the year all the magic starts to happen. 

I hope everyone is doing great and I wish you merriest HAPPY NEW YEAR!

2019 is going to be EPIC!

Lots of good things are about to happen and I'll be blogging a great deal.

Talk to you soon!

It's been a long and tough year.
Here's what happened:

• Family Court decided to take 25% of my weekly gross income   and my entire income tax check and give it to a woman I knew for only 3 months for a child I cannot see or talk to. Priya, if you're reading this, it's not your fault. I am your father and I love you and I hope one day we can have a relationship.
• I've had 4 jobs this year, but have finally settled on ITD Solutions, a sort of self-employed line of work in the Telecommunications field. 
• I've written all but 100 words in all of my novels because of the struggles of getting by. Although, I'll tell you this, when life bombards you with difficulty, the right thing to do is to PRODUCE and COMMUNICATE.
• I've completed 3 new songs with my band-mate Charlie, but we haven't released them yet. Coming soon. Check the   Music Tab for updates.
• I've reworked and ironed out my script for my short film called, One More Day: A Suicide Prevention Film. You can find out about it in the Short Film Tab.
• My wife and daughter have been well, but  are weary from the roller-coaster existence created by our problems.
• Christmas is coming!

That's really the basic outline for the year, but you get it. 2018 will hopefully be a much better year.

Greetings folks,

I want to update you on what's been going on in my life since the last time I've written.

1:  I'm fully embarked on  the creation of a short film which is very dear to me. It's called 'One More Day' A Suicide Prevention film. It's roughly 45 minutes long and centers around a character named Will who is on the verge of suicide right up until a flashing commercial for the suicide hotline tempts him to call and reach our for help. It's an amazing story of overpowering depression via action and faith and the ending will blow you away.

If you'd like to contribute to the making of this film please click the below link.
