The Ledger Poet – 5 min read
Fourteen.
That's how many followers I had when I published my first article on Binance Square.
Not 14,000. Not even 140.
Just 14 people – most of them probably friends who felt obligated to click "follow."
I remember staring at the screen. My first article about the Epstein files and crypto. I had no idea if anyone would read it. No idea if I was wasting my time.
But I hit "publish" anyway.
And something happened.
People started reading. Not thousands. But 21 views on that first post. Then 35. Then more.
I'm not at 1,000 followers yet. But I'm on my way. And I want to take you with me.
Here's my honest journey – the wins, the doubts, and what I've learned so far.

The Beginning: Why I Even Started
I'm not a trader. I'm not a financial advisor. I'm just a guy who loves crypto and loves to write.
I saw other creators posting on Binance Square – some with millions of views – and I thought, "Why not me?"
The truth? I was scared.
Scared of being ignored. Scared of being wrong. Scared of looking stupid.
But then I realized something: every big creator started at zero.
So I chose a nickname – The Ledger Poet – and I wrote my first article.
The First Article: 21 Views
My first piece was about the Jeffrey Epstein scandal and its impact on crypto. Heavy topic. Risky for a beginner.
I posted it and waited.
For the first hour: nothing. No likes, no comments, no shares.
I felt stupid.
But the next morning, I opened the app and saw 21 views. Twenty-one people had read my words.
That tiny number felt like a victory.
I replied to every comment (there were only two). I thanked every reader. And I decided to write another one.
The Second Article: The Mistakes Beginners Make
This one was simpler. "3 Mistakes Beginners Make on Binance."
People love practical advice. And this time, the views came faster. Not hundreds – but more than before.
Someone commented: "This helped me. Thank you."
That one comment kept me going for a week.
Because here's the thing: you don't need millions of followers to make a difference. If one person learns something from you, you've already won.
What I've Learned So Far
1. Consistency beats talent
I'm not the best writer. I'm not the best trader. But I show up. Every few days, I publish something. Even if it's short. Even if I'm tired.
The algorithm rewards consistency. And so do readers.
2. Don't write for the algorithm. Write for people.
When I stopped trying to "game" the system and just started writing what I actually think – honest, human, a little messy – people responded.
Crypto is full of hype and fake gurus. Being real is your superpower.
3. Engagement is everything
Every comment I reply to is a chance to turn a stranger into a friend.
I don't just post and leave. I stick around. I ask questions. I say "thank you."
Those small interactions add up.
4. The numbers don't define you
Some days, my articles get 50 views. Some days, 200. I'm still far from 1,000 followers.
But I don't check my stats every five minutes anymore. I just focus on writing the next article.
Because the only way to grow is to keep going.
Where I Am Now
As I write this, I still don't have 1,000 followers. But I'm closer than I was yesterday.
And here's the beautiful thing: every single one of you reading this is part of the journey.
You're not just a view. You're not just a number. You're the reason I keep writing.
So thank you.
My Promise to You
I will keep writing honest articles. No shills. No fake hype. Just real insights from someone who's learning alongside you.
And when I finally hit 1,000 followers – I'll write another article to celebrate. And you'll be in it.
Now It's Your Turn
Maybe you're a beginner with 0 followers. Maybe you're thinking about writing your first post.
Do it.
Don't wait until you're "ready." You'll never feel ready.
Just pick a topic you care about. Write from the heart. Hit publish.
And come tell me about it in the comments. I'll be your first reader.

The Ledger Poet – 3 min read
Goldman Sachs. The same bank that once called Bitcoin “rat poison.” The same firm that helped cause the 2008 financial crisis.
They just filed for a Bitcoin Income ETF.
Let that sink in.
I saw this news this morning and honestly? I laughed. Not because it’s funny – because it’s unbelievable how fast Wall Street has changed its tune.
But before you get too excited or too angry, let me break down what this actually means.
What is this ETF exactly?
It’s not a spot Bitcoin ETF (like the ones from BlackRock or Fidelity that just hold real BTC).
This one is different. It’s designed to generate income from Bitcoin without directly owning it. How?
- Covered calls on Bitcoin futures
- Options strategies
- Maybe even staking-related yields (if they get creative)
Basically, Goldman wants to sell you a fund that pays you a monthly yield – like a dividend – while tracking Bitcoin’s price movement.
Sounds cool, right? But there’s a catch.
The good, the bad, and the ugly
The good (why I’m cautiously bullish)
1. Goldman doesn’t file for fun. They have $2.6 trillion in assets. Their lawyers wouldn’t waste time unless they thought approval was likely.
2. Institutional FOMO is real. First BlackRock, then Fidelity, now Goldman. When all three giants are building Bitcoin products, something has shifted.
3. Retirees will love this. Normal people like dividends. A crypto product that pays monthly income? That could bring millions of new investors into the space – even if they don’t understand self-custody.
4. Regulatory signal. If Goldman thinks the SEC will approve this, they probably know something we don’t. Maybe the US is slowly opening the door.
The bad (why I’m not aping in)
1. You cap your upside. Covered call ETFs sell call options on your Bitcoin exposure. That means if Bitcoin suddenly pumps 100% in a month (hello, 2021 style), you won’t capture all of those gains. You get the yield, but you miss the moon.
2. It’s not real Bitcoin. You don’t hold the keys. You can’t send it to your cold wallet. You’re trusting Goldman to manage derivatives. For Bitcoin maxis, that’s a hard no.
3. Fees will eat you. Wall Street loves fees. Expect an expense ratio around 0.5–1%. Over time, that’s real money.
4. It’s a sellout move? Some will say Goldman is just packaging crypto into the same old tradfi garbage. They mocked Bitcoin for years. Now they want to profit from it. Hypocrisy? Absolutely. But that’s capitalism.
What this means for Bitcoin’s price
Short-term? Probably nothing. Filings take months. The SEC could delay or reject.
Long-term? More institutions = more liquidity = less crazy volatility = a higher floor for Bitcoin.
But here’s my honest take:
This ETF isn’t for us – the people who actually use crypto. It’s for your dad. Your grandma. The guy with a 401(k) who heard “Bitcoin” on CNBC.
And that’s okay. Because adoption doesn’t have to be pure. It just has to happen.
My final verdict
Is this a sellout? Yeah, a little. Goldman is late to the party and trying to cash in.
But is it a step up for crypto adoption? Absolutely.
You don’t have to buy this ETF. I probably won’t. But I’ll watch it closely. Because when Goldman moves, the rest of Wall Street follows.
And a year from now, when we see “Bitcoin Income ETF” ads on TV, remember: you read it here first.
