Career

CryptoDonAlt, a prominent crypto influencer and trader on Twitter, first encountered Bitcoin through his brother, an IT enthusiast who introduced him to mining in Bitcoin’s early, pre-price days. As a teenager, he found the concept intriguing, though he couldn’t invest directly. Years later, after observing Bitcoin’s rise and subsequent bear market, he became interested again but opted to invest in Dogecoin due to its affordability. This initial move into Dogecoin ultimately paid off significantly, leading him to re-invest his gains into Bitcoin in 2016-2017. 

By 2017, CryptoDonAlt was heavily involved in crypto trading, gaining experience during the market’s intense volatility. As he became known for his bearish calls during the bullish frenzy of that year, he attracted attention within the crypto community. His accurate market predictions and contrarian stance led to shoutouts from influential figures, which expanded his Twitter following. CryptoDonAlt’s trading career evolved from these early experiences, establishing him as a key voice in the space with a significant following. He also hosts a popular digital asset broadcast on Twitch. ^[3]

Quacking the Code

On WOO’s The Burrow, CryptoDonAlt shared his journey in the crypto space, discussing his early interest in Bitcoin and Dogecoin, his family background, and his recent approach to trading. Initially attracted to crypto through his brother, CryptoDonAlt tried but struggled to buy Bitcoin at $1, ultimately buying Dogecoin, which led to his first profits. Over time, he moved from casual investing to active trading, especially around the 2017 crypto boom. Known for taking high time-frame positions, he recently took a “tradecation,” stepping back from frequent trading to focus on his family, particularly his new child.
