Sam Daodu.

Sam Daodu is a crypto analyst and the editor of 24/7 Wall St.'s Crypto Desk, where he covers Bitcoin, XRP, Ethereum, Solana and the altcoins investors search for most.

Sam has written about crypto professionally since 2019 and has published more than 2,000 articles. Before joining 24/7 Wall St., he wrote for crypto media outlets and Web3 companies and ghostwrote for crypto founders and token launches.

When he isn't reading charts, Sam is usually at the gym or watching One Piece, a series he maintains has better tokenomics than most altcoins.

Essential Reading

How I Think About Money

  1. 01 A price target means little until you understand what it would take to reach it.
  2. 02 When considering investments in cryptocurrency, size each position as if it could drop by 80%. Every major coin has experienced this at least once.
  3. 03 Follow the money: ETF flows and on-chain data reveal what investors are doing, while social media shows what they are thinking.
  4. 04 Adoption is what provides a coin with its long-term value, as the price only reflects what the market is willing to pay today.
  5. 05 In investing, especially in crypto, spending time in the market is far more beneficial than trying to time it perfectly.
