What are we up to now?

“We are still in the very, very early days of crypto. That means the potential upside is enormous, but it also means that we’re still in the Wild West era, with all the rugs, scams, sh*tty players, and even sh*ttier guidance that come with it.

With the Crypto Academy, we’re staking a claim and standing for quality in an arena that’s full of noise. And we have literally the best people in the world to help us do that — former TradFi traders OSF and Mando, who know that the battle-tested trading techniques from TradFi can give you the best chance of success without blowing yourself up.

What we’re really trying to do here is help you be more in control of your investments and to capture the opportunities in the space, responsibly. As we all go on this mad journey together, we want to give you the tools you need to become a better, more confident investor. And of course there’s a whole macro package that comes with it too (macro is the big daddy that moves everything after all…!)”

Here’s what’s on deck:

We’ve just kicked off a new 5-part series on the sometimes-bloody-confusing but often-bloody-useful world of technical trading. Hosted by 5 analysts, all RV favorites, each with their own style — basically, people who make things much less confusing. New episode released every 2 weeks

  • Josh Olszewicz, aka CarpeNoctom, explains how to use and set up the Ichimoku Cloud chart. Josh has been a trader and market analyst since 2013. He previously worked as a portfolio manager at Valkyrie Investments.
  • Petr Pinkhasov, founder of Investorcharts.net, walks you through the DeMark Indicators: which platform he uses, what the indicators mean, and how they inform his trading.

Enroll for $500 per year $350 for life

But for a limited number of memberships, we’re doing something pretty special…

Instead of $500, we’re cutting it down to $350 (which is the equivalent of about 0.12 ETH)…

Yup, if you’re one of the next 1,969 367 to join, you pay your Year 1 fee of $350… and that’s it.

Ridiculous? Yes.

(Don’t tell our finance team…)

What our Crypto Academy students think…

"Super clear and helpful. I learned a lot. I haven't ever been taught about the relationships between cpi/inflation, payrolls, fomc, etc... I was aware but never had anybody clearly teach this. Thank you! Super super helpful."
LFStudent
"Great talk about the basics of crypto trading. Muted 90% of all the Twitter/X experts right away. No FOMO anymore. Looking forward to the next episodes."
Markus M.Student
"This is just what I've been looking for and these guys appear very knowledgeable... I've been trying to get my head around this space 6 months, so I think this will be really helpful. Thank you!"
Karl C.Student
"Been a novice in the markets and been solo learning for years, so excited to be a part of the RV community. Been a die hard YouTube and podcast fan, time to take the next step."
Shane M.Student
"Thank you so much for putting this course together. I've learned so much in the last couple of years from RV... Every time I watch, I pick up more and more nuggets where there were gaps in my knowledge or I couldn't comprehend the information yet. Really grateful."
Leila F.Student
"This is good stuff. It's OK to start basic so that everyone builds a proper foundation. Things will get more complex over time, all on their own. 'First you get good. Then you get fast.'"
John L.Student
"Awesome content. I think the most useful part was explaining how to gauge time horizons based on the 4-year cycle. Also, the explanation of how to look at on chain metrics was a new learning point for me."
Raymond B.Student
"RV has been a f***ing godsend through the bear [market]. I've learned so much about macro and how influential it is across all the markets... A collective of (smart) storytellers which helps keep things entertaining."
Tokengay.ethStudent
"Very well articulated educational video. Topics and terminology described in a beginner friendly way. Much credit to Ovie. He makes this video open to all levels of knowledge. Great content RV!"
Brian W.Student
"Excellent video. It filled in several holes in my macro knowledge and allowed me to connect some important dots. Thank you!"
