Hey Hodlers,

What’s it really like to lose $120K in a bull market, and come back stronger?
In the latest HodlFM Podcast, Tanya sits down with Daniel Scholler, crypto trader and YouTuber (formerly Uptrend Crypto), to talk about his evolution from hodler to full-time trader, the realities of surviving bear markets, and his bold take on where Bitcoin’s headed next.

🎧 In this episode you will find out:

  • Bitcoin at $125K — and why Daniel says it’s not the top yet

  • Lessons from a $120K loss — how emotions can wreck (or make) your portfolio

  • Why this cycle’s “altcoin season” will look totally different

  • Germany’s crypto scene — slow adoption, big potential

  • Daniel’s trading rules — simple, smart, and brutally honest

“A 2x or 3x gain is great — it doesn’t always have to be 100x.”
