MY VALUES:
QUALITY OVER QUANTITY
A lot of content creators are incentivized to pump out content for ad revenue. Taiki has never run KZbin ads on his channel because he believes in creating quality content, not monetizing your eyeballs via ads.
FOCUS ON THE LIQUID MARKETS
How can you trust a research company if they’re making “easy money” participating in VC/angel rounds and dumping on followers? Our firm focuses on the liquid markets, so we only participate in the liquid markets.
BE A GOOD PERSON
On top of not running any KZbin ads, Taiki has never participated in a paid promotion, a channel sponsorship, or even a DEX/CEX ref-link. We believe that to create quality research on the public markets, we have to only focus on the public markets.
PREMIUM RESEARCH
HFAResearch offers a Premium subscription. This is not meant to be a "copy trading" service or a “pump and dump” signal group. Taiki publishes two premium videos and an AMA livestream every week. Think of Taiki as your personal research analyst that keeps you on top of the markets so you can focus on what you do best. You also gain access to a private discord with the largest premium DeFi community. There, Taiki also gives frequent updates as well as real-time analysis on current events in crypto.
We believe this is a better way to create a sustainable business instead of focusing on monetization tools that only focus on getting clicks. The premium videos follow a style similar to Taiki’s free public videos.

[@CaesarSebastian]

Dude is smart and humble

[@airbound1779]

Ansem is your best guest! Thanks

[@govertt1226]

Thanks Taiki, so much alpha in this. You should be proud of the way how you handled the bear market. I had a much tougher time with the PTSD stuff and lost out on a lot of opportunity in the bear market, but am using you as an example to learn from in this regard.

[@Maakhiri]

These interviews are great Taiki! Keep them coming! It would be awesome if you could have the CMWs share their screens and walk through some of their recent trades, share what resources they use to do research. Thanks

[@thehumblefarmer]

yea I'll keep that mind for the future. Good idea!

[@ryan-uf9er]

​@@thehumblefarmerits really funny that you guys laugh at HEX. HEX is the best crypto out there currently

[@brettblaster]

Good interview, this guy is definitely in the web3 trenches like many of us

[@sehz1789]

hes just herding sheeps like yourself. youll understand what im saying later if not now

[@brettblaster]

@@sehz1789 you’re not wrong, he’s been non stop shilling garbage for past month, grifter status now

[@Kdot1337]

Ansem the legend

[@BluntFrankTrauma]

Such a smart man

[@rahulxero425]

Bring CC2 it would be quiet interesting to know some insights from him as well

[@tonyspamoni5641]

great interview. love long form ansem. rip our birds.

[@fredrikwerner1656]

Great clip! Keep it up. One question, he says something about a youtuber that trades, what is he's channel? Tradermade? 28 minutes in.

[@Memecoinwizard]

I'm gonna watch this

[@the-ornamentalist]

Aaaanseeeeem

[@djshortsleeve9132]

All those Discord beeps 😄

[@amunwalker4518]

Z is the current main challenge

[@TESLA_MOTOR]

I know nothing about trading /investment and l'm keen on getting started. What are some strategies to get started with?

[@fatte1]

Buy low, sell high! 🤝

[@NicoleCarter3]

Wow! Mindblowing!! Mary Gail Benner is talked about here! I was trading fairly a small amount and I got over 200% within one month. We need more traders like her in the space to guide the teeming population of crypto enthusiasts and traders out there

[@TESLA_MOTOR]

Please do you mind sharing any means of reaching out to her easily?

[@Nicolewhit]

Mary Gail Benner really has a strong reputation and good insight when it comes to profiting from economic fluctuations. I trust Mary completely

[@JR-wm5ny]

best strategy is to try and error not trusting those fake "Mentor", if they are good at trading who the fuck would waste time to teach you?

[@orion1816]

so what is going on with Hex?

[@HexOptimal]

Keep sleeping on the flawless immutable software Richard Heart has deployed fellas lol

[@SWidd-dq2yu]

What about canto?

[@SatoshiChrist]

Just buy a lil bit of every layer 1 that has actual use case and users. And then grab a lil bit of metaverse, AI 🤖, gaming, and last but not least, MEme coins. Easy money

[@nylepentik2696]

Ansem the grifter/larp. Great guest to have on lmao.

[@cl-xo6dz]

GMEOW

[@christianjon8064]

It is funny how people get what they want out of the markets. Some people get small gains, some get big gains and some lose money.

[@blaze7847]

7:54 Brooo 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@trading8]

4:00 L1 trade may still work. There are a lot of things you can do on other L1s that you can’t on Eth mainnet. E.g. more throughout, and being cheaper. Celestia, TIA. Sei. ...are up. Monad. 9:20 Helium. Hivemapper.

[@forthepeople4880]

Bitcoin is store of value that does not really need very high speed. On the other hand, Ethereum's value is only realized when it's being used. Therefore, Ethereum has to be extremely fast and cheap to use, otherwise, it's going to lose to Solana which is thousands of times faster and cheaper to use, and the price of Solana is currently 10 times cheaper based on marketcap. It's a nobrainer.

[@PoorMansInvesting]

Pulsechain is better than all 3

[@ryan-uf9er]

HEX is king

[@brandonc2839]

This dude fully embodies the saying Everyone is a genius in a bull market. Just babbles on about the most cliche shit. He talks about how he finds his "plays" when essentially he's just gambling lmao. Typical influencer trash, provides no real value to the space.

[@1ntrcnnctr608]

not gonna listen to it but he likely did laugh btwn words where it doesnt really make sense like a weirdo, didnt he? complete internet addict it seems n devotee to the circle jerk game, thats why he can go on a bag shill media rally like a boss. sounds like u havent realized yet that the world basically runs on a wave thats called liquidity, induced by the Fed. everybody tries to catch it as it comes every few years: boomers, zoomers, hedgies, politricksters, cab drivers n shoe shiners, pbbly even insiders at the Fed themselves. there is no "value" in finance, let alone gripto where price action determines narratives n when/if a project launches its ecosystem diluting shitcoin. if theres such a thing, then look at what ppl use the most - USDT on Tron. on top Justin is a systemic risk in almost all DeFi protocols. hilarious stuff! strap in to the scam age, surely paving the age of abundance for future generations! dont forget to pay ur carbon credits n daily feed the algos!

[@Crazybushful]

Bro, if you followed Ansem's early calls this year you would retire now ;)

[@brandonc2839]

​@Crazybushful I'm already semi retired and doing very well in the space all without having to be a soulless grifter

[@PoorMansInvesting]

​​@@Crazybushful Never trust an eagles fan, worst humans I've ever met... He's been hot lately just like the market has been, go back further. You'll find plenty of bad calls

[@brian4131]

big a

[@jackboys5251]

bring CC2!

[@FredScot2]

I’ve been making a lot of losses trying to make profit trading. I thought trading on a demo account is just like trading the real market. Can anyone help me out or at least advise me on what to do?.

[@Melinda741]

I will advice you should stop trading on your own if you keep losing.

[@Melinda741]

If you can, then get a professional to trade for you I think that way your assets are more secure. I invest with Mrs Viola Patterson and the profit is great even with the dip

[@mikeybarrett]

wow i'm shocked you just mentioned and recommended Mrs Viola Patterson i thought i was the only one trading with her

[@Melinda741]

My first investment with her gave me profit of over $4,000 and ever since then she has never failed to deliver and I can even say she is the best, most sincere broker I have known

[@JamesL400]

I've seen positive reviews of this professional must be exceptional for people to talk about her goodness

[@michaelfelder5241]

He doesn’t trade though

[@user-uz9qy1mf7x]

bittensor is the AI play you're looking for. Only one you need it seems

[@PoorMansInvesting]

AI is overblown, tax coins will be the talk of next bull

[@onangarodney7746]

TA only works if the coin has enough history. For new coins TA is pretty much useless.

[@Bud189]

ZZZZZZZZZZZ

[@sdldfgjh20]

just ramblings form X, nothing to see here.

[@BatmanBoss]

Eagles lost bro sorry

[@machko87]

I liked this guy until he just turned his following into pump and dump memecoin machine

[@christianjon8064]

I’m gonna laugh if HEX flips BTC eventually. That would be the most entertaining result.

[@kazmir_]

Z is everywhere lmao
