Now here's your host, Invest New York. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to this episode of cigars and crypto. You know who it is. You should boy know. I'm let me tell you, I'm so happy to have a

new guest with me today. This brother seems really interesting. And I think he will be very interesting to you as well. His name is Link Green, the chemist. He is the founder of Planet Crypton. Link, how are you brother? Oh, man, I'm great. I'm be on the show. Thank you so much for accepting my invite, man. I do appreciate it. Absolutely. So I'm not one to

mix words, brother. I love talking to new people and getting to know them. So let's jump right in. Link, tell me about yourself. How did you get into crypto? Definitely. So I got an crypto in 2014. I was actually in the army, but I was helping with a nonprofit organization that was purchasing land from different farmers in Kenya. Actually, in Africa, and we realized that a

really good way to sort of send those funds to those farmers was through cryptocurrency. So I was initially introduced to it. And that man, and it seemed very intuitive to me. And I realized almost immediately that this was the currency of the future, even in 2014, 2015, you know, to be carrying around cash was was pretty unlikely. So we were already sort of transitioning to a

digital market. So I was thinking about a new dollar, whether we knew it or not. So I got very interested in it. Again, I was in the military. I was a new father, a new husband. And we weren't doing too well financially. However, off of the word of a brother by the name of Jamar James, I think you've interviewed him of DCG Mastermind. I purchased, I

over drew my account by $500 and purchased, I was like $509 Neo coins at the time. And the coin actually went to the market. I blew up to as much as $150. But I didn't catch it until it was about, I want to say like $60 something like that. And by this time I had been divorced. And the only reason I caught it was because I

was trying to take a new girl out. And so I was shaking trees, right? Looking for money. And I found in my crypto. I don't know if you remember Cryptopia. But in my crypto, yeah. My crypto account, I had about, man, like $20,000 in some of my dollars in there. So, you know, I've been divorced. From there, I was hooked on cryptocurrency. That was my life.

I had never seen that much money at one time ever, especially not as an E4 in the army, right? So I started, that's all I talked about. If you went on my Facebook page around at the time and everything was crypto, crypto, Bitcoin, Bitcoin. And so I started teaching other people. And, you know, this was, this was before the bull market of 2017. But I think

there were others who realized that there was a lot of potential in cryptocurrency. So they would ask me questions about it. And from there I decided, hey, let me start teaching classes, travel all over the country. And, you know, to different parts of the world teaching people introducing into cryptocurrency, getting them crypto ready as we call it. And I've been, you know, doing this every since

full time. So first off, you and I came in that is game at the same time. I got into 2014 as well. Wow. Second, I was an E4 in the army as well. So, okay, battle. I'll say, I'll say, I'll say, I'll put that out there. So, yeah, man, you know, it's, it's interesting how people get into the space. Whether they are onboarded, like you were

through Jamar James, or if you kind of fell into this space by accident, the way I did. But all roads lead to the space. And I think it's interesting how people get there. And once they see the path, how they choose to travel that road. So I like how you talk about how you're educating people and you travel around the country and parts of different parts

of the world. Teaching people, you said to get them what crypto ready. Is that what you said? That is correct. So tell me about, let's talk about the education. The education aspect of what you do. Now you're the owner of Planet Crypton. So tell me about Planet Crypton and tell me how Planet Crypton educates new people to Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. Definitely. So Planet Crypton is a

cryptocurrency academy for new entrance into the crypto space. The name was actually taken from or adopted from a good brother of a model passed away. Name Anthony Anthony Agarab. And he was actually the, the, very first person to introduce me to cryptocurrency. And we were working on a program before he passed that we were going to call Planet Crypton. So what Anthony would do, what I

would do, follow sort of following his lead was make sure like embrace new entrance because at this time, you know, in 2015, 2014, nobody knew anything really about crypto currency. It was very, very obscure. You know, the information was confused. So I was using none of these tutorials or tutorials or anything that we see now. So with my company with, with Planet Crypton, my main focus

is to break things down to where a child can understand it. And in fact, I do teach children have, have told children of one awards for teaching children. But I want it to be, you know, they say, you don't feed a baby a whole piece of state, right? You bite it. You chew it up for them. And then you, you know, you help them digest it.

Help them. Take it in, I guess. So that is, that's the idea behind Planet Crypton is to make things, you know, very approachable to the person so that they're not overwhelmed by all of the kind of information. And to compare everything that has to do with cryptocurrency to regular things. So, for instance, you know, a lot of people think that they have to buy an entire

Bitcoin in order to get into Bitcoin. So you kind of got to break down to them. The idea of, you know, Bitcoin being denominated into 100 million to toe cheese. So for example, I'll use the idea of a pizza. Hey, you can buy an entire pizza pie, you know, from the Northeast, you're buying a tie a pie, you can buy it, you know, a slice is

the slice going to be more expensive. Or is the entire pie going to be more expensive. If the pie goes up in value, isn't that going to make, you know, your, your one slice of pie go up in value as well. So those are the type of examples I use. And I, and I strive to make it so that no one, no matter what their background

is, or no matter how uncomfortable they may feel, with their ability to learn that, that once they speak to me, once they deal with my program, they're confident in the fact that they can understand and benefit from capitalized off of cryptocurrency. That's good, man. So in pre roll, we were talking and you said you have pre recorded courses for people. And I think that is amazing

because a lot of people don't think that far ahead. A lot of people just try to set up one on one. It would be so interesting. It's like talking about capitalized off of them, they're like a two-icans one-on-one coaching. Absolutely, I offer one-on-one coaching and I also offer right after finishing the pre-recorded courses, a one-on-one, just, you know, recap Q&A session to where if there are

any questions that obviously you couldn't get answered right then, I'm able to sit down with you and walk you through whatever issues or hang up you may have or just just speak to you about strategizing for the future. So absolutely, you can speak to me one-on-one or you can sign up for a one-on-one course wherein I take you through everything that you would be given in

the pre-recorded course, but we would go much more in depth and we could hash out a full in-depth strategy for your cryptocurrency acquisition plan. Good, man. So you heard it, folks. Link is the plug. If you're looking for some good education, some digestible bite-size content that you can review at your leisure. Make sure you visit him, check him out online. So like, let me ask a

question. When people want to sign up for your services, where would they go and how would they do it and what does it cost? Thank you. All right. So if they would like to sign up for the pre-recorded courses, it's $65 and they would go to Planet Crypton with the K-K-R-Y-P-T-O-N. I-O-D-I-O. I'm going to sign up for the pre-recorded courses. I'm going to sign up for

the pre-recorded courses. I'm going to sign up for the pre-recorded courses. It's $65 and they would go to Planet Crypton with the K-K-R-Y-P-T-O-N. I-O-D-I-O. A lot of people get that mixed up. They put in .com, but it's .io. And that's how much the pre-recorded courses are. If they were like one-on-one time with me, I charged $99 an hour for one-on-one in-depth walkthrough. The entire, you know,

from point A to point B, the history of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. How you open up your wallet, how you do everything that you need to get cryptocurrency, even some ways that you can get cryptocurrency without having to actually pay for it. You know, different ways to earn it. So we go through all of that and their strategy if they would like to trade, if they just

want to invest long-term. We talk about those things in ways that they can do that while maximizing their potential in the crypto space. You know, I like that you bring that up because a lot of people don't realize that you don't have to trade crypto. You can simply invest in it. And another thing that we were talking about and kudos to you, hats off to you,

brother. You address unit bias. This idea that you have to buy a whole Bitcoin to have skin in the game. And a lot of people don't realize that you don't have to buy a whole Bitcoin. Not only that, but you don't even have to buy it. Like you said, you can earn it. There are ways to get cryptocurrency and Bitcoin where you can earn it. So

hats off to you for kind of highlighting that point. And explaining and teaching people that there are more than one way to skinny cat. So let me ask you another question. Where do you see the future of Bitcoin, cryptocurrency and blockchain technology in the next three to five years? Oh, man, by the end of this year. But we'll talk about three to five years. Mass adoption

is upon us for anyone who is in denial or they don't understand or they're in fear. Mass adoption is upon us. And for those who do not take on mass adoption, they are, in my opinion, going to run into some issues with striving to convert their no longer desirable physical currency into digital currency. So that's number one. Number two, I see every industry is already happening.

You know, you got a great scale and all that. Every industry is going to go towards cryptocurrency. So instead of IPOs, they're going to be ICOs for every company that's out there. Every industry is going to have their own type of cryptocurrency. Every business, I just, I see it happening that way. With NFTs, you know, we also have infinite digital management, which is our NFT, minting

and management company that we do for different artists, different businesses, et cetera. So everything from titling companies to really, real estate companies, et cetera, are going to enter into the blockchain space. There's no way around it. So I would say to anyone who is sort of afraid to just look into, at least getting some sort of crypto debit card or something like that, because in the

on IG, Instagram, link green underscore the chemist with a K also on Twitter. Link green underscore the chemist with a K. You can find my URL or a planet krypton at planet krypton with the K dot IO. And on Facebook at link. And on the green the chemist. My man, Thank you so much for taking time to join me this evening. Uh, I really do appreciate

it. I really do. Thank you so much. Absolutely. Thank you. No problem. Thank you.
