Why This Is the Greatest Time to Invest:...

EYL NETWORK
About this episode

In this insightful Market Mondays clip, hosts Troy Millings and Ian Dunlap break down why now might be the greatest era for investing—and it’s far from just talk. They revisit their own journeys, from buying Bitcoin at $5,000 (when people doubted it would ever be worth more) to witnessing its meteoric rise to $122,000. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’ve missed the boat on crypto or if owning assets still holds promise, this discussion gives you real-life examples and clear perspectives.


Troy shares what it felt like investing early in Bitcoin, facing skepticism at every price milestone. Ian highlights the critical role of institutional backing (think: BlackRock, Vanguard) in bolstering Bitcoin’s stability compared to years past, reducing those scary price swings we used to see.


The conversation expands to smart strategies: Is there still upside in Bitcoin? What about leveraged plays like MicroStrategy, or using options to accelerate those returns? Troy explains how, even if you missed the 10,000% runs of early crypto, there are still creative ways to capture growth—if you understand your risk tolerance. Ian weighs in with practical cautions, too, highlighting the risks if the market takes a downturn and why timing and risk management still matter.


Whether you’re an experienced investor or just starting to wonder if it’s “too late” to get involved in crypto or stocks, this clip is packed with the honest, data-backed analysis Market Mondays is known for. Plus, you’ll pick up actionable insights on leveraging new vehicles (like Bitcoin ETFs and MicroStrategy options plays) that might help you boost your returns—if you do your homework.


Don’t miss out on this direct, no-nonsense look at the current investment landscape. Make sure to like, comment your thoughts or questions, and subscribe for more real-talk finance content!
