The Wolf of All Streets

Melker began his crypto journey in March 2016 after being led there by the music industry. On how he discovered it, he said;

“I just happened to look into crypto because there was a bunch of DJs trading it,”^[5]

He first started trading on the Gemini crypto exchange in 2016 and recalls buying Bitcoin to send it to another exchange, Bittrex, so he “could buy Ethereum and Ripple.”

“I was really just trading, trying to make money to support a new family; it had nothing to do with what Bitcoin was or what the asset class was.”

Melker runs the well-known podcast, The Wolf of All Streets with over 145,000 subscribers on YouTube as of May 2024. On the channel, Scott Melker talks to various characters from the world of Bitcoin, trading, decentralized finance (DeFi), music, art, and more. His content revolves around crypto news and keeping his audience up-to-date with what’s happening in the market. ^[5][6]

His platform provides analysis, education, resources, and tools aimed at helping people become better traders and investors. ^[7]

"[My content includes] all the lessons that I’ve learned in my streams and podcasts, but I would say it’s generally educational/informational content about this market.” ^[5]

On Twitter (X), Melker has amassed over 950,000 followers as of May 2024. In an interview with Cointelegraph, Melker mentioned that he initially started gaining followers when he was “trading the market well” and posting about it on Twitter. Then, his content was “100% charts and trades.”  However, Melker didn’t want his account to be based on trades because it’s “fickle", so he transitioned toward a more holistic approach to his content within the crypto industry. ^[3][5]

Controversy

In 2021, ZachXBT, a pseudonymous on-chain researcher, accused Melker of pumping and dumping shit coins to his followers in 2021. It was a troubling time for Melker, who received threats and became the target of anger. Melker refuted the claims and announced he would steer clear of tweeting about projects with small market caps altogether. ^[5][8]

Melker said to Cointelegraph that he doesn't want his audience to get the wrong idea so he prefers to focus on the educational content. ^[5]

"In the past few months, I have entirely stopped talking about anything with a small marketcap or that could be viewed as a “shill.” My account has grown to a size where I cannot tweet about certain things - low cap coins, smaller projects etc." - he tweeted in May 2021^[8]
