Recently, I came across an interesting observation from a well-known crypto creator – the view count on YouTube videos might be a sign of the current market cycle. When Bitcoin was hovering around 90,000, this influencer noticed a drastic drop in engagement. During the 2021 boom, his videos would gather 100-200 thousand views, now it's barely 15-20 thousand. This shows how quickly sentiment can change.

The story of this creator is quite instructive. He started making crypto content in 2017, and in 2018 he was still working at a grocery store in Switzerland. Today, he has over 82 million views on his channel and nearly 1.5 million followers on X. It took him about a year and a half to earn his first million, and then everything skyrocketed along with the bull market.

But how exactly does one make money from crypto content? It’s not just YouTube earnings. Affiliate links to exchanges, sponsorship deals, and sometimes lifetime commissions from transactions of users who register through your link – these are the main income sources. This particular creator also runs Moon Ventures, which invests in crypto projects, has an agency training other YouTubers, and a job portal for the industry.

Many people ask if it’s already too late to jump into the game. The answer is: no. According to this influencer, crypto sub-sectors still have plenty of underexplored opportunities. The key is perseverance – “plant seeds throughout the entire bear market to harvest in the bull market.” When you reach around 5,000 views a day and really get involved, your first million can come faster than you think.

Interestingly, this creator admits that fame has its price. Recognized two to three times a day, sometimes people approach him with business proposals. The only exception where something actually came of it was his co-host on The Moon Show – a young influencer who approached him on the street with a proposal to work together.

As for the future, he’s not sure what 2026 will bring – he says it’s 50/50. But before 2030, he bets on Bitcoin reaching between half a million and a million dollars. His plan is simply to keep accumulating regardless of what happens this year and celebrate in 2030. At the same time, he plans to completely step back from crypto in favor of music and Ferrari racing.

This whole picture shows that you can indeed make good money in crypto, but it requires consistency, understanding market cycles, and the ability to build an authentic community. There are no shortcuts here, only hard work and waiting for the right moment.
