1. Crypto isn’t a great way to earn beneficial money
- Tate has said he will never launch a cryptocurrency or token of his own because he believes crypto doesn’t benefit society and is more about speculation than real value creation. He’s been quoted saying crypto is where you can “make a whole bunch of money while benefiting society zero.”
- He likens crypto trading to gambling, arguing that for every winner someone else must lose, and that making money from pumps teaches nothing.
- Tate has explicitly stated he does not endorse any cryptocurrencies, including ones with his name (like “Tate Coin” or “Top G Coin”), because he doesn’t want people associated with him losing money.
- Despite criticizing the culture around crypto, Tate has said he and people on his team have made money on Bitcoin. For example, he recounts telling followers to buy when Bitcoin was much lower.
- In some discussions (e.g., interviews with crypto commentators), he’s pointed out that Bitcoin can help people truly own their money and avoid traditional banking issues, recounting his own experience using crypto for international transfers.
- Tate frequently criticizes the culture around crypto enthusiasts (especially on social platforms), calling many investors “losers” for focusing on speculative gains and using crypto as an identity (e.g., profile pictures).
- He’s also said “easy money isn’t in crypto anymore” and mocked people who got rich quickly on NFT/“shitcoin” trends as lacking real-world skills.
- Don’t treat crypto as a shortcut to wealth, especially speculative tokens.
- Be wary of hype and identity-based investing (e.g., coins as status symbols).
- Consider long-term assets like Bitcoin rather than chasing short-term pumps — if you think crypto has value (based on some of his retrospective comments).
