‪@RaoulPalTJM‬ is the Co-Founder and CEO of ‪@RealVisionFinance‬ / ‪@RealVisionCrypto‬ and the Founder of Global Macro Investors.

Raoul candidly opens up about dealing with massive FUD in early 2023, the impact it had on him, and how he not only overcame the FUD but also doubled down on personal branding and ended up being one of the few ones who publicly went all in SOL when it wasn’t a consensus trade last year.

We also go through many other topics:

how the crypto industry is literally built to make you “fuck this up”
where the big blow ups might come from this cycle
why some NFTs are about to go Bananas and why Beeple and Xcopy are the alpha
why Raoul is now more interested by NFTs than by meme coins
how the biggest future builders, star-artists and celebrities are building just in front of us today and how this won’t last forever
what’s the “next SOL”
what could make Raoul change his mind on $SOL
why people in their early 30ies are f*cked and why everyone has “2 jobs” today
why buying Real Estate doesn’t make sense as an investment anymore and why it’s the same for any asset class except Nasdaq and Crypto!
why diversification is dead
Crypto, the super massive black hole!
the Banana Zone (of course)

And much much more!

This conversation is a masterclass on how to build wealth in crypto over the next 8 years (not 8 weeks!) and on how everyone can benefit from this truly generational wealth building opportunity!
