Lou Kerner, Partner at CryptoOracle, Says More Wealth To Be Created by Crypto than The Internet

In an interview, Kerner advised that crypto traders should find the Berkshire Hathaways of crypto and HODL for 20 years. It is all about long term wealth creation. The biggest risk right now is timing in getting into the crypto markets.

One of the biggest questions new and seasoned crypto investors ask, is when their initial investment will bring the much awaited returns that have been romanticized by Lambos and Moon landings. Majority of such individuals have never really found sound investment advice prior to crypto trading. Therefore, they are always at the edge of their seat whenever the market drops a bit. Some even capitulate completely, and at a loss, for they cannot stomach the constant volatility.

It is with this background that the Digital Asset Strategies Summit (DASS) sought the advice of Lou Kerner through a brief interview that can be found on youtube.

More Wealth In Crypto

In the interview, Lou was asked about the best approach when investing in the crypto-space during periods of volatility. In his response, he stated that:

Our view is that this is the biggest thing in the history of humanity. In 20 years, more wealth will be created from crypto than from the internet in the last 20 years. There are certainly risks.

Find the Berkshire Hathaways of Crypto

He would also add that in the current early stages of crypto investing, it is very difficult to know which projects will be the winners or losers down the line. His firm’s approach when investing in these projects is to find which are tackling real life problems, then investing in 30 or 50 of them. Out of this list, the next facebook or Google will present itself.

When asked whether buying and HODLing was a good strategy, Lou stated the following:

If you are a big fan of Warren Buffett, we want to be the Berkshire Hathaways of crypto. We wanna find the best companies and hold for 10 to 20 years and have that value compound.

In 20 years, this crypto is going to be massive. What we do not know, is the path from here till there.

Biggest Risk in Crypto Investing Right Now

In the concluding section of the interview, Lou was asked about what he thought was the biggest risk in crypto investing right now. His response was that:

I think the biggest risk [crypto investors] face, is timing. A lot of investors are trying to time the market. A lot of investors, when they see an opportunity, try to go all in. There is actually something called portfolio science. The right way to optimize returns is to get a diversified portfolio of assets in your crypto basket and buy on a regular basis. It can be monthly, quarterly and annually.
