According to Michaël van de Poppe, his journey in the cryptocurrency market has been far from easy. In 2020, he faced financial difficulties, being in debt and experiencing a 70% loss on his crypto investments. By 2021, he achieved significant gains, marking a peak in his portfolio's value. However, 2022 brought personal and financial challenges, requiring him to rebuild his company. Moving into 2023 and 2024, he focuses on recovery and continuous learning in both personal and market interests. He emphasizes the importance of having conviction, a solid plan, and effective execution in navigating the volatile crypto market.
