Here's how I think you can go from zero dollars to crypto millionaire, and you don't even have to buy any Bitcoin or altcoins right now. This is based on my own journey, which I've been documenting. I know the first thing you're thinking: what a clickbait title, that's ridiculous, you couldn't do that. Here's what I've come to understand about reality. Reality begins in your imagination. I'm not saying you're going to produce a million-dollar crypto portfolio from zero that you can show me right now. I'm saying that in your own mind, in your own imagination, you can feel and enjoy the same feeling right this second that you would have when you showed me that million-dollar portfolio, when you looked at it yourself. And in my experience, by doing that manifesting exercise, by understanding this, you eventually get the physical, real version. I'll share my progress on that with you.
I changed my identity to crypto millionaire when I had zero
A year and a half ago, I started thinking of myself differently. I changed my identity to: I'm a crypto millionaire. That's my identity. I have a million-plus dollars in net worth in crypto — that's the identity I took on when I had zero dollars. I had no dollars at all in crypto when I changed my internal identity. I realize your mind will often resist this idea and say that's not how life works. In my experience, that is exactly how life works. If you've ever read any Neville Goddard, this is explained in much more detail, and I'm going to talk much more about that on my Jerry Banfield thoughts channel soon.
You are the creator of your own universe
The basic idea is this: I'm a crypto millionaire. I'm a crypto millionaire. In the way I've come to see it, you are the creator of this whole universe. You are God; this flesh and blood body is the son of God, as are all of us, and Jesus was here to tell us who each of us is, to demonstrate it and to speak as us — so that if each of us speaks that way and thinks that way, we come to have the same awakening he had.
When you realize that you are the creator of your own universe, you know that right this second, in your imagination, you can create your identity. You can let go — and this is what's necessary, and why this is powerful. You can let go of the idea that you're broke in crypto, that you've lost all this money in crypto, that anything you don't want associated with your identity. You can let go of that this moment. So even if all you have to show for your efforts in crypto so far is a bunch of altcoins you don't understand, a portfolio that's not even close to a million dollars, or almost nothing at all — if you can change your identity in your own mind to "I am a crypto millionaire" right now, you don't have to buy anything, you don't have to do anything at all in external reality. Inside, you focus on "I am a crypto millionaire," and you picture the exact moment when you first see that in external reality and you're like, I'm a crypto millionaire. You live that moment now. You feel the way you'll feel when you see it.
How I'm doing this myself right now
Let me show you exactly how I'm doing this. Right now I have 3,333 ICP locked indefinitely, plus hundreds of maturity, which effectively makes this worth about 3,500 ICP if I were to sell the whole account — which, since it's locked indefinitely, I won't be doing. I also have another account with hundreds more ICP. So basically, when the ICP price gets to around $250, I'll be able to show in external reality — something everyone can observe and agree on, although I don't know if everyone ever agrees on anything — what most people would look at and say, you're a crypto millionaire now. When the ICP price hits $250, in my opinion that will be an observable fact that almost no one would dispute.
Now, I don't look at the ICP price right now. The ICP price is already $250 in my mind. I've already seen the price clearly. I've already felt the thrill of seeing it at that point. As Scarface said, I know what's coming to me. I'm certain the ICP price will be $250, because — if you're into quantum physics and Joe Dispenza and some of these contemporary metaphysical writings — I've already reached it through the quantum realm into the possibility. I want a $250 ICP price, and I'm looking at that with a laser. That's where we're going. I already have enough ICP that I literally do nothing except wait, and I believe I will be a crypto millionaire.
The Bitcoin I held in 2017 — and in 2014
Think about this in terms of Bitcoin. I had enough Bitcoin in 2017 to be a multimillionaire many times over. I had 60 Bitcoin, and I sold it at what I thought was the top, around $1,700. But at the time I wasn't thinking of myself as a crypto millionaire. I was hustling, trying to get the money as fast as I could. If I'd thought of myself as a crypto millionaire, I would have just held the Bitcoin and forgotten about it, then checked on it back in 2021 — at which point external reality would have shown me that my 60 Bitcoin was worth far more. In fact, I didn't even need to wait that long. I sold my 60 Bitcoin for a little over a hundred thousand dollars, and I literally just needed to wait about eight months. If I'd done nothing and waited eight months, I'd have been a crypto millionaire from that hundred thousand.
And how did I accumulate that Bitcoin? I actually bought it for less than ten thousand dollars. I was DCA'ing into Bitcoin at like fifty dollars a day. But even better: in 2014 I had eight thousand dollars of Bitcoin, and I sold about a thousand dollars' worth in cash to a guy because I got weak hands. Eight thousand dollars of Bitcoin back then was at least 40 Bitcoin. At the time, eight thousand dollars of Bitcoin seemed almost impossible that it would ever be worth a million dollars. But do a little math: 40 times $64,000 — and today people say, oh, the Bitcoin price is so down, it's so low, and I'm like, no, it's not low. I had enough Bitcoin in 2014 to literally do nothing, forget about it, leave it in a hardware wallet — don't throw it in the landfill like some people, just leave it and come back — and I would have had two-plus million dollars. It's not as bad as the Bitcoin pizza guy, but are you getting what I'm saying? Life is driven by your imagination. I look back on that the same way I look at how 21 Bitcoin in 2014 compares to ICP today — the smallest position held with the right identity becomes life-changing.
A broke identity keeps you broke
If you imagine yourself as a crypto millionaire, in my experience you'll start automatically making the right moves to get there. But if you come at your crypto portfolio with the assumption that "I'm broke and I need to get rich in crypto," your underlying identity is that of a broke person, and you'll continue to be broke. Any money you make, you'll waste. I can attest to this myself. In 2018 I had a lot of money externally — almost a million-dollar crypto portfolio at one point. And just a year and a half later, I managed to not only spend all of it, but I borrowed every dollar I could and was in the worst financial position of my life. Why? Because, in my experience, your internal reality drives your external reality.
Your second chance starts tonight
So when I say that you can start right this second to think of yourself and say to yourself — you don't have to tell me, you don't have to tell anybody else out loud — this is your second chance. You can keep it a secret prayer between you and God, your higher power, your intention, whatever you want: I am now a crypto millionaire. If you think like that and identify with "I am a crypto millionaire," in my experience the results will intuitively come to you — exactly what you need to do to manifest it in external reality, maybe not immediately.
If you have trouble with this, which is very possible, the best time to do it is before you go to bed. You do not need to sit there and chant it or try to brute-force program it into your subconscious, because ironically, that indicates you don't really believe you're a crypto millionaire. Would someone who's actually a crypto millionaire be chanting all day, I'm a crypto millionaire, I'm a crypto millionaire? No. You'd just think, I'm a crypto millionaire, and move on with your day. The way to do this is to vividly picture in your imagination exactly what it will look like when it manifests externally. And then — feeling is the secret. Feel it. Feel how wealthy you'll feel to look at your crypto portfolio and say, look at that, I'm a crypto millionaire.
What's funny is my crypto portfolio will look almost identical to how it looks today when I'm a crypto millionaire. I haven't checked the price today — I could be a crypto millionaire today, I don't know.
The first sign I'll see
That may actually be one of the first signs I see that I'm a crypto millionaire: my open chat blowing up with everybody telling me I am. People know how much I'm holding, and people go to jerrybanfield.com and click on my open chat to chat with me. I check it every day, all the time. I chat like crazy in there, and the team chats in there with me — thank you, up to two-hundred-some members in the Jerry Banfield Family. The first sign that I'm a crypto millionaire will probably be people sharing screenshots and saying, you're a crypto millionaire now, Jerry, congratulations. Because once you set your destination, you don't need to constantly look for it. You know where you're going. You all probably check the ICP price, or the crypto price, much more than I do.
How this took me into the Internet Computer
I'm not interested in seeing the price until it's over $250. If I happen to see the price and it's well under $250, then I'm speeding up my process to get to crypto millionaire by buying more. And this is how my journey took me into the Internet Computer. When you set your identification as "I am a crypto millionaire," you're programming your mind to go make that real. That becomes your attraction point, and everything you do flows from it.
When I first said "I'm a crypto millionaire," guess what I started doing — buying Bitcoin at $16,000. Because I sat inside and said, I'm a crypto millionaire, I could externally see that Bitcoin at $16,000 was a really good buy. I was able to ignore everyone who said it wasn't. I bought Bitcoin right down here, right when all the videos on Bitcoin were fire and brimstone, the market was going down, and people were talking prices in the low 30s. Because I said I'm a crypto millionaire, I was certain they were wrong, and certain this was the time to load. So I started loading Bitcoin and DCA'd in repeatedly around the $16,000 mark. At the time I only had about $50 a day I could afford to put in, because I'd just been through another period of broke thinking. And yet I turned even that into a positive story I get to show people — proof you don't need to think you have enough money to become a crypto millionaire.
From $50 a day to an $8,000 portfolio
I'm documenting this directly on my YouTube channel. So when I have my crypto millionaire status to show everybody in external reality, I'll have videos showing exactly how I started, and proof that it happened first in my mind and then in external reality. If you look at my net worth video from 2023, my net worth a year ago, I had a small amount of crypto — I did not have much at all, and I show exactly how much right in the video.
So even if you only have $50 a day or less, you can DCA in, and in my experience you'll intuitively be guided along the way. This is the same patient, mindset-first approach I describe in my ideal ICP accumulation strategy. In one of my videos I show my crypto portfolio at $8,000. I turned a $50-a-day DCA into $8,000, mostly Bitcoin and Ethereum and ICP and a few other cryptos. That's how fast this worked for me. Within a few months of internally identifying that I am a crypto millionaire, the portfolio I could show everybody and verify was up to $8,000 — and I didn't even put nearly $8,000 into it. I share each buy as I make it in my Money playlist.
From $8,000 to $40-50k in a year
Now, a year later, look at my crypto portfolio. I don't know what the ICP price is today, but last I saw it was somewhere around $10-13. Counting this plus the other ICP I have in a separate account — about 4,000 ICP — I have forty to fifty thousand dollars in my crypto portfolio. I amassed that in a year, and I only paid a few thousand dollars to go from an $8,000 portfolio to almost fifty thousand, whatever the price is today. You can see where it stands now in my crypto portfolio today. And how far will we go in the next year? I imagine it could manifest anytime — tomorrow, six months, a year, two years from now. It doesn't matter when it manifests in external reality, because I go back to my internal reality, where it already is. A $250-plus ICP price is already a fact in my own mind. I merely have to wait.
I slowed it down on purpose to stay honest
The goal of doing this is to make it easy to become a crypto millionaire. You don't have to struggle and hustle. In fact, me becoming a crypto millionaire was about to happen very quickly, but I actually slowed it down by setting some additional terms and conditions. I could have easily already been a crypto millionaire. If I'd been willing to be dishonest and inauthentic — if I'd taken every exchange deal offered to me, every crypto sponsorship, and instead of reviewing hundreds of cryptos negatively I'd reviewed them positively — I'd now have a million-plus-dollar crypto portfolio to show you, if I'd just held all the stuff everybody gave me. But my portfolio was growing very quickly, and I realized: I am a crypto millionaire who has done it in a way that's honest, authentic, and transparent. I'm not willing to take the shortcut and just do whatever it takes, because I already identify as a crypto millionaire — I don't have to take the shortcut. And for the long term of my life, I don't want to. I want to be authentic, and to show everybody a path in a way anyone could copy. Most of you probably can't copy me as a content creator and YouTuber who could get those exchange deals. But DCA'ing $50 a day into Bitcoin a year and a half ago — everybody could copy that.
Going all in on ICP at $3
Going all in on ICP at $3, which I told everybody I was doing — there were actually a couple of weeks between when I put my videos out saying I sold all my other crypto into ICP at $3 and when that window closed, where people could copy and do the exact same thing. That's been one of the biggest increases in my portfolio: going all in on ICP with all the Bitcoin I'd DCA'd, and ICP is up about four times from when I went all in on it. And in my opinion, it's just the beginning. You can follow the ICP moves I make as I make them in my ICP Crypto playlist.
If you're into the Bible — I don't read it much, but I'm reading Neville Goddard interpreting the Bible from the point of view that it was written in symbolism, in a way you'd understand today — one passage sticking out to me is, "let the weak man say, I am strong." Let the broke crypto investor say, I am a crypto millionaire, and believe it, and experience it.
Let the broke investor say: I am a crypto millionaire
So to wrap this up: if you love the idea of being a crypto millionaire, then picture concretely the exact form in which you'll see confirmation of it. I've just gotten clarity on mine — the form of confirmation will be in my open chat. I'd pictured it before in CoinMarketCap portfolios, looking at it that way, but I don't do that now. I realized people will tell me I'm a crypto millionaire when the ICP price hits over $250 in my open chat. I'll see screenshots, there'll be a lot of excitement, and I already feel how wealthy and awesome that will feel. I feel it now.
Because of the law of reversibility — basically, if you can create electricity from friction, then you can create friction from electricity — if external circumstances can create a feeling in your life, then internal feelings can create external circumstances as well. A feeling of wealth inside will brush away all the trappings of poverty and brokenness. I can attest to this myself; I've done it multiple times with wealth. And each time I followed it with a feeling of brokenness — and when you feel broke, it strips away the trappings of abundance, as I can tell you from experience.
If you want more videos like this that are real and thought-based, I keep these conversations going in my Life playlist. And if you want to be there to tell me when the price crosses $250, the easiest way is to come hang out in the open chat with me and the family, where I'm chatting every single day.
