Episode 16 of Crypto Market Wizards, a new interview series focused on crypto traders in the trenches of the liquid markets. Today we have Messi sharing his crypto story and how he "made it" after 10 years. He talks about the lessons learned through getting rekt MANY times; hopefully this discussion helps you believe that anything is possible in crypto as long as you believe in yourself and keep grinding.

Crypto Market Wizards is an adfree and sponsorfree podcast.

Taiki is the founder of HFAResearch, a DeFifocused research company founded in 2021 with a mission to create highquality, digestible content that helps separate signal from noise for DeFi enthusiasts. We were frustrated with the lack of authentic educational content on Crypto YouTube/Twitter and took matters into our own hands.

MY VALUES:

QUALITY OVER QUANTITY
A lot of content creators are incentivized to pump out content for ad revenue. Taiki has never run YouTube ads on his channel because he believes in creating quality content, not monetizing your eyeballs via ads.

BE A GOOD PERSON
On top of not running any YouTube ads, Taiki has never participated in a paid promotion, a channel sponsorship, or even a DEX/CEX reflink.

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 realtime 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.
