I've been saying for months now that all coins are likely going to bleed against their Bitcoin valuation for a while, because this is what I've seen every bear market.

And some people will take that as a personal attack. I'm not against your specific crypto that you're holding. I'm not.

It's just these are lessons I learned the hard way. So I would rather just tell you the lessons I've learned so that you can hopefully not experience the same pain I did.

Hi everyone and welcome to another edition of my life in four trades. Joining me today is the CEO of the Into the Cryptoverse newsletter and YouTube channel Benjamin Cohen. Enjoy the conversation.

Hi Benjamin, welcome to my life in four trades. Thanks for having me. It's a pleasure to be here.

So before we jump into your four trades, why don't you tell me a little bit about your background? What was young Benjamin Cohen like?

I was always interested in science and mathematics. I went to school.

My undergrad was in mathematics, minor in physics, I worked at NASA some during my undergrad, worked in a lot of research labs at my university.

And then I decided I wanted to go to graduate school and ultimately become a staff scientist at the national lab.

But in order to do that, in order to do it, you know, the research route, I had to get a PhD. So then I went and got a master's and a PhD in nuclear engineering.

And I did that. I took me about five years to get that five years and four months. I defended my dissertation. And I then worked as a postdoc at a national lab for two years.

And during that time, I started my own YouTube channel on cryptocurrencies in 2019. And then I ultimately became a staff scientist.

So I got the dream job right around the time that I decided to quit. And, you know, I continue on with my company that I created a full time.

Well, congratulations on getting that PhD. That is no in nuclear science, no less. That is no small. So did you pull the, what do you do for living on a nuclear scientist? Did you ever pull that out at a party or anything?

No, maybe not that one. I think there is when I when I did an internship at NASA, I did an internship at NASA Johnson Space Center in the spring of 2011.

And of course, there was always those jokes about it not being rocket science. Right. I remember we even had like t-shirts made where it said like it's it's just rocket science. No big deal. Right.
