Threadguy interviewed Andrew Tate on βwhen and how he started cryptoβ He started crypto during the 2016/2017 bull and the COVID crash. He mentioned to have been on Etherum chain since the time when the price was at $200 and makes most money on pancakeswap.He do printed [Spoken audio]: is you, you showed up and pivoted like pretty hard Twitter content, what you're talking about podcast interviews to crypto. And a lot of people think like Andrew Tate showed up with sexy red and Jason Derulo and you're just like another one of them. But I'm aware and I think some people, but not most are, aren't aware of your extensive history and crypto. And I'm kind of curious for as much as you want to share when, when, how and like, why did you get into crypto? I think it was the first bull run. I can't remember if it was 2016. When did Bitcoin first go to 20,000? Was that 2016? I feel like 2016, 2017. Yeah, that bull run. I was in at 3,000 then, and then there was the COVID crash where it went back down to three, 4,000, and I put a public tweet out saying I'm buying half a million at that price. Really? Yeah, that's all on my old Twitter, you can see it. And then I would always, I'd been in crypto for a while. I've been in Ethereum since 200 bucks. I made the most money on PancakeSwap. That's crazy. I was in PancakeSwap. People don't know that. Like why don't you like, just talk about that. I was in PancakeSwap at like 50 cents. Why don't you talk about it? And there was a time when I was printing like half a million dollars every three or four days from pancake swap. And I was sitting around saying, this is not real. This is ridiculous. And it went up to $30, $40 or something before I sold. Or maybe I sold at $18. I can't remember exactly if I sold a bunch of it. But I didn't talk about crypto because I didn't believe there was any lessons in it for people. And also once again, I feel like I have massive responsibility and I didn't want to say to people at home, hey kids, I'm a millionaire, my life's great. I bought a coin. I think that's very irresponsible. Now, there's lots of dickhead celebrities who will do that, but I think that's one of the worst, most destructive things you can do to a young man is to tell him the only way to get out of the matrix is to gamble, because it's gambling. There's so many coins launched every day, it's effectively a gamble, you have to win the lottery. I think that it's much better to tell them that it needs to be hard work and et cetera, et cetera, which is why I'm doing the project I'm doing now, because hard work is linked to it. I'm gonna make sure that hard work is involved in the coin because I refuse to tell people, just buy it, you'll just make money easy. No, you're gonna work hard.
