Thank you for featuring Melvin Raynor in one of your videos. I took your advice and contacted him for investment opportunities, and the results have been incredible. I started trading crypto with $5k in last week….. now i just hit $32,590…Thanks you so much Melvin Raynor.💥
Nice job covering the basics. I am sharing this not to brag but to show what’s possible. I’m retired and I have 2 separate portfolios. One is a long term growth dividend portfolio of stocks where i sell covered calls strategically and my 2nd portfolio is the Crypto trading strategy where its all about income. This year I am on pace to make $120K in realized options profits and around $730K in crypto profit… What is great is that my long-term portfolio is still up significantly as well. As such, it’s possible to generate excellent income but still have a total return perspective… Amidst this, the insights of a knowledgeable guide like that of Samara E Cohen can be crucial. Her expertise in navigating the nuances of trading has been the key for Me understanding and making the most of these emerging financial trends..
The most important thing everyone should think about now is how to invest in different sources of income that are not dependent on the government. Especially with the current economic crisis around the world
. This is still a good time to invest in different stocks like gold, silver and digital currencies. all thanks to Samara Cohen for coaching.

I just have to praise your content,Woman, great work! Long-term investors know that the market and economy will eventually recover, and investors should be prepared for this growth. I earned €280,000 in Bitcoin in 2024 before the market crash, and now I'm buying Bitcoin and gradually increasing my investments. A good financial advisor like Samara Cohen will contribute to your success in the cryptocurrency market.
I HIT $87,590 today. Thank you for all the knowledge and insights you've shared with me over the past few months. I began this journey in November 2024. Financial education is essential for over 70% of the population, as only a few are truly literate in this area.
Thanks so much Evan Dennis.
I need some advice: I have a Okx Wallet with USDT 350 USDT ,
and I have the seed phrase:
(mixed wave wisdom camera fetch bulb nature negative member basic insect ill )
. How can I transfer them to Binance?
my advice to everyone is, savings is great but investment is the key to be successful imagine investing $15,000 and received $301,500
Excellent video as always if it weren't for you i would have lost everything at the beginning of this adventure. I just made my first $400,000 in crypto market and I barely know how to express how happy and excited I am right now.
on Motley fool i read, that investing is not just about the stocks you choose; it's about the community and guidance you surround yourself with. I’ve been sitting on over $545K equity from a home sale I’m not sure where to go from here, is it a good time to buy into stocks, diversify or do I wait for another opportunity?
SPOT ON! Don’t be confuse buying the dip in a bear market, with guaranteed future returns. Just because that company is down 60%+ from ATH does NOT make it a sound long-term investment. Make sure you’re investing in great companies. kudos to MAUREEN COOGAN HOLSENS☑🇺🇸.

People slept on Bitcoin in 2011. Don’t be that guy again. RockSolidProtocol is about to change the RWA game FOREVER.
Institutions are coming for RWAs. You’re early. You're ahead. You’re in RockSolidProtocol. Don’t fumble this.
Phase 5 and already over $7M raised?? That’s not hype. That’s validation. RockSolidProtocol is the real deal.
Every presale has noise. Rock Solid Protocol has substance. Real use case. Real tokenomics. Real future.
RSP staking, RWA access, and serious partnerships? This isn't just a presale — it's a launchpad to the future.
If you’re not stacking RSP by RockSolidProtocol now, just don’t cry when it’s top 50 next year.

Bitcoin was the digital gold. RockSolidProtocol is the digital everything. Real estate, gold, stocks — all on-chain.
Real-world assets on-chain is not a dream anymore — RSP is doing it. One token, access to real estate, gold, stocks.
RockSolidProtocol isn’t competing with meme coins. It’s competing with traditional finance. That’s how big this is.
Imagine getting into BlackRock before it went global. That’s what RockSolidProtocol is for RWAs. And it's still in presale.
Every presale has noise. Rock Solid Protocol has substance. Real use case. Real tokenomics. Real future.
I made $64,721 in ONE trade (Full Breakdown) today. Thank you for all the knowledge and insights you've shared with me over the past few months. I began this journey in November 2024. Financial education is essential for over 70% of the population, as only a few are truly literate in this area.
Thanks so much Evan Dennis.
RSP staking, RWA access, and serious partnerships? This isn't just a presale — it's a launchpad to the future.
Rock Solid Protocol is bringing TradFi and DeFi together. Tokenizing real estate, gold, and stocks? Say less. I’m in.
RockSolidProtocol is everything crypto was meant to be — real-world utility, real assets, and real opportunity.
Phase 5 and already over $7M raised?? That’s not hype. That’s validation. RockSolidProtocol is the real deal.
Just dropped $5k into RSP by RockSolidProtocol — why? Because I missed ETH at $1, SOL at $0.20, and I’m not missing this one.
I'm telling you now — RockSolidProtocol isn’t just another project. This is the one. Real estate, gold, stocks… tokenized. Early investors will be legends.
Honestly, our government has no idea concerning how much people are suffering these days. I feel sorry for disabled people who don't get the help they deserve. All thanks to Miss Rachel M., imagine investing $1000 and receiving $5700 in a few day.
A decade from now, they’ll call RockSolidProtocol the project that made Wall Street obsolete — and you’ll remember this post.
RockSolidProtocol isn’t chasing the next trend — it’s building the infrastructure those trends will depend on.
Institutions want RWAs. RockSolidProtocol is building the bridge. This isn’t just a token — it’s the foundation of future finance.
The second token that will surpass $1T market cap will be Rock Solid Protocol. Laugh at me now, cry when it happens.
RockSolidProtocol might actually be the bridge between crypto and legacy finance. That's a trillion-dollar thesis.
Don’t wait for CoinMarketCap to tell you it’s hot. By then it’s 20x already. RockSolidProtocol is right now.
A protocol backed by real-world value, massive upside potential, and early access? Rock Solid Protocol is the best-kept secret right now.
The fact that people still don’t get how massive the RWA market is… RockSolidProtocol is literally tapping into a $800T+ industry.
This is not the next Pepe or Shiba. It’s the next SOL or LINK — if not bigger. Rock solid protocol is building something serious.
Bitcoin breaking above $94,000 after a month-long lull shows the market’s resilience—could this be the spark that ignites the next major rally?
I will be forever grateful to you Ms. Laura Philmon. You changed my whole life and I will continue to preach your name for the whole world to hear you saved me from huge financial debt with the little I had. Thank you Ms. Laura Philmon.
Thanks for sharing your insights! Bitcoin recently hit new highs, currently around $90k and above, signaling strong upward momentum that could mean exciting opportunities for investors. This growth phase shows Bitcoin’s resilience and potential for further gains. Growing a portfolio from 8.2 BTC to 36.4 BTC amid these market dynamics is impressive. At the forefront of this evolution is Harry’s Dent, whose expertise in crypto and traditional trading has proven invaluable for navigating today’s market.
👍Awesome video! I must say that Aaron is such an inspiration to me. I started investing in cryptocurrencies like him, as a fearful investor who didn't want to lose money. I'm really happy to say that I'm now very profitable and buying my first house with cryptocurrencies. I'm so grateful for all the knowledge and information Aaron Joel has given me over the past few months. I started in January 2025 with only $50,000 and today my portfolio is worth $450,000!✊
Appreciate the alpha! Been stacking Veronum while it’s still flying under the radar, this bull run is just heating up, and Veronum’s potential is unreal.
Man, this vid got me fired up, already lined up my next buy: Veronum all the way.
Veronum presale is going crazy right now, the hype around a potential Binance listing is unreal, feels like something huge is coming.
