THE POWER 5
COMPLETE EDITION

WHAT'S INSIDE

• ▸Read this first — what this guide is, and the one rule that protects you.
• ▸Crypto in 10 minutes — blockchains, wallets, keys and exchanges, in plain language.
• ▸Why these five — five networks, five different ideas about what a blockchain should be.
• ▸BTC — Bitcoin: the whitepaper, the pizzas, the halvings (next: ~April 2028), the 21-million cap.
• ▸ETH — Ethereum: smart contracts, The DAO, The Merge — the world computer's real story.
• ▸ADA — Cardano: the peer-reviewed chain, its eras, and staking explained simply.
• ▸SOL — Solana: Proof of History, the 2022 collapse, and the rebuild.
• ▸XRP — XRP Ledger: payments in 3–5 seconds, and the SEC case that defined its status.
• ▸Reading a market without getting played — cycles, FOMO, and an October 2026 snapshot vs every coin's verified all-time high.
• ▸Case files: what the market already taught us — the 2021 top, the 2022 crash (Terra, Celsius, FTX — the full contagion chain, with verified numbers), and the recoveries — including the coin that never came back.
• ▸Technical analysis basics — candles, trend, support & resistance, volume; moving averages (ceiling or trampoline?), RSI and MACD without the magic; the top-down timeframe habit.
• ▸Chart patterns, measured — double bottom, double top, ascending triangle, bull flag, head & shoulders: spot it, confirm it, kill it — with Thomas Bulkowski's published statistics and a one-page cheat sheet.
• ▸Worked examples — read a real chart in 5 steps (ADA, October 2026), the recovery-math table, and a scam message dissected line by line.
• ▸Staking, step by step — what staking really is and where the yield comes from; ADA in a wallet like Vespr, step by step; the ETH and SOL routes; and the honest chapter on BTC and XRP, the two that don't stake.
• ▸Risk: how people actually lose money — leverage, cycle tops, and the scam red flags.
• ▸Position sizing, in plain numbers — how much is too much: the share-of-net-worth rule, the 1–2% risk rule, and the sleep test.
• ▸The untouchable core — the buffer you never touch, written down as rules before emotions show up — the author's own risk philosophy, as a method you can examine.
• ▸The most expensive beginner mistakes — the 8 tuition bills other people already paid for you.
• ▸Before you buy anything: the 10-point check — the printable due-diligence checklist.
• ▸Wallet security — the seed-phrase rules, the deeper layer (backups, approvals, the plan if something happens to you), and the daily habits that keep your coins yours.
• ▸The scam catalog — ten cons dissected the same way: the setup, the hook, the tell, the defense.
• ▸Your first 90 days: a learning plan — foundations, wallet drills with zero dollars at risk, pattern hunting, and a day-90 self-test. A learning plan — never an investment plan.
• ▸Glossary — 60 terms, every one used in the guide, in plain language.

🇫🇷 Aussi disponible en français — les deux versions (EN 99 pages + FR 114 pages) sont incluses avec chaque achat. Version française : voir la page FR du site au lancement.

• ▸Explain candles, moving averages, RSI and MACD to a friend, in plain words, without superstition.

• ▸Do the recovery math: why −50% needs +100%, and why a −92% drawdown needs about +1,170%.
• ▸Run the 10-point check before any purchase, keep a seed phrase safe, and recognize a scam DM in under a minute.
• ▸Size a position with the 1–2% rule, protect an untouchable core — and dissect the ten classic scams before one of them dissects you.

QUESTIONS

What do I get?The guide in BOTH languages: the English PDF (99 pages) and the full French version (114 pages) — instant download right after checkout (Stripe), or delivered by email if you pay in crypto. Five complete coin chapters with tokenomics, three case files from real market history, a full TA course with worked examples, a complete staking part, the risk chapters with position sizing and the untouchable core, a ten-entry scam catalog, a pack of printable checklists, a 90-day learning plan and a 60-term glossary.

Why $9.99?Comparable starter guides sell for $9.99–24.99 with a fraction of this content — no sourced statistics, no worked examples, no checklists, no plan, one language only. This is a complete, sourced course in one document, priced under the $13 impulse threshold. One-time payment, no subscription.

Can I pay in crypto?Yes — order by form above, pay in crypto, and the guide is delivered by email after on-chain confirmation. Note: crypto payments are final (no refunds possible on-chain); the price is in USD and the crypto amount is set at the rate of the moment you order.

Is this financial advice?No. It is education about history, technology and risk. CryptoT never tells you what to buy, sell or hold.

Who made this?CryptoT — the Montreal shop and media behind the daily Power 5 coverage and the Crypto Historian on cryptot.shop. Same rule as everything we publish: Never quit learning.
