At the time of this writing, the Cryptocurrency market capitalization is over $3 trillion, and Bitcoin accounts for $1.7 trillion of that.
I understand that $3 trillion is hardly a blip on the screen when the total market capitalization of the stock market is over $130 trillion, but take a moment to think about this.
Consider this
1. The Cryptoverse is under two decades old.
It started with Bitcoin and has grown to include tens of thousands of Cryptocurrencies, with around 11,000 actively traded.
2. Globally, there are over 241,000 Crypto-millionaires.
This is what inspired the Ledger of Us: everyday people can actively improve their financial position and achieve financial freedom with the right strategy and guidance.
3. In 2025, there have been trillions of Cryptocurrency transactions, with industrial (professional) investors leading the way.
4. In 2025, Bitcoin saw a 35% increase before the Q3 (third quarter) sell-off.
As explained in a previous story, how your small investment would have grown in 2025 using my strategy.
The growth isn't staggering, but it is the best game in town because nowhere else could you achieve a 35% increase in a year with only a few hundred dollars.
This is why the Ledger of Us plays a vital role in the investment world; it helps the rest of us find a path to financial freedom.
5. NFT (non-fungible tokens) shifted from art to digital utilities (utilizing technology to enhance performance) in the gaming world and loyalty programs like Starbucks.
6. The Metaverse evolved from a speculative platform (like the movie Ready Player One) to virtual offices, gyms, and stores.
7. Online gaming grew in 2025 to an over $190 billion global industry. Companies like Fortnite and Roblox saw explosive growth. E-sports continues to expand.
8. Tokenization jumped from a Crypto-only feature to include commodities like gold and silver, and private equities
(Investing in privately held companies) and real estate. In 2025, it became a $30 billion venture.
Bitcoin remains the flagship of the Cryptoverse, and it deserves your focus in 2026.
If you are seriously interested in making a change and taking charge of your financial freedom, this is one place that deserves your attention.
You may find that it isn't for you; it isn't a one-size-fits-all decision.
Nor is it a 30, 60, 90-day (get-rich-quick) scheme to grab a few dollars from you while promising you unrealistic outcomes.
You do not go from living paycheck to paycheck in a couple of years. It takes a lifetime of determined changes and solid strategy.
This is where the Ledger of Us can come alongside, offering suggestions within the Cryptoverse (my primary focus is Bitcoin) to help you get from where you are to where you want to be.
Bitcoin is trading flat, and will likely end the year that way. It is following the pattern it has used for the last three seasons. It goes up a little, down a little, and then this for months before breaking out to new highs.
No one I follow is saying it is time to get out.
You may (correctly) say, why would they say get out, when they make their money telling you to stay in?
The answer is, research (my own) bears out what they are saying.
It is unwise to swallow what anyone says without doing your own due diligence to verify it.
This is another reason The Ledger of Us is a vital tool to help the rest of us. It points you in the direction to find answers for yourself.
Bitcoin and the Cryptoverse are not dead and are far from faltering.
These eight (8) points are more than casual thoughts. They are the foundation of:
· Why I am in the Cryptoverse
· Why I believe that the rest of us can find hope that financial freedom is available for you
· The reason I do what I do
I could have waited until I reached my financial goal before writing about this, but I chose not to for these reasons.
My strategy is long-term (20–30 years).
If I waited that long to write about my journey, I might be too old to write.
If I waited that long to write about my journey, the price of Bitcoin might be too intimidating for anyone to get in.
If I waited that long to write about my journey, hundreds, maybe thousands of people would have missed an opportunity to find financial freedom.
The truth is, the journey is exciting and scary.
The truth is, nowhere else could I take the few dollars I had and (with strategic planning) turn them into investment-worthy capital.
The truth is, I decided to take a risk, and it is paying off.
If anyone can relate, follow along as 2026 promises to be a great year to find financial freedom.
Where I stand
I believe in you because I am like you.
I'm not a financial advisor. I'm not a crypto millionaire.
I'm just a student of the cryptoverse — and I'm committed to sharing what I learn so others don't have to navigate it alone.
This isn't hype.
It's careful research, honest education, and real opportunity.
If this guide gave you clarity, here's how to keep going:
✅ Ask me questions anytime — I welcome them
✅ Start small, stay curious, and be consistent
Because Bitcoin isn't just an investment.
It's a mirror — reflecting how power, finance, and freedom are being completely redefined right now.
If you're reading this, you're already ahead of most.
Keep learning.
You're not late.
You're right on time.
