Mark Jeftovic has been investing in Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies for more than a decade, when his tech company was among the first to accept it for payment. He’s been stashing it away since those early days and writing about his experiences in his popular newsletter and book of the same name, The Crypto Capitalist.

In this interview with Alex Daley, Managing Director at WorthNet, Mark warns that 2026 could be an especially hard year for HODLers (as fervent Bitcoin owners have been apt to call themselves)… unless something changes about how Bitcoin and its brethren trade now that Wall St. and governments alike have started adopting, he says.

Obviously, we don’t avoid strong views. At WorthNet, we strive to share wide-ranging commentary on the possibilities, and risks, in today’s markets. 

We also understand that many of the boldest forecasts come from people who are incentivized to take a stand. That’s their role in the financial ecosystem.

But their ideas may not always align with what’s best for a personal portfolio. The challenge isn’t to pick one bet. It’s to weigh the inputs and build something that fits your goals, risk profile, and time horizon. 

That’s where an investment adviser might be able to help, working with you to build a personalized plan oriented to your goals – deciding together on what ideas to incorporate and managing the execution for you. If that sounds like something you would value, we’d be glad to help you get started.
