With a crypto bull run on the horizon, you better have some solid reasoning to back up your bold and overly optimistic crypto predictions, says Into The Cryptoverse founder Benjamin Cowen.
“I think people liked seeing me provide reasons for predictions rather than just throwing up rocket emojis and pure doom,” Cowen tells Hall of Flame.
“Sometimes I am wrong, sometimes right,” he says, adding that he is always just giving his “honest thoughts about the market.”
Cowen, who will only say he’s based somewhere in the United States, started creating crypto content in 2019, making this his second bull run. While his 889,500 followers on X know he’s extremely bullish on Bitcoin, the father of four believes a little skepticism never hurts:
“I have previously described myself as a BTC bull with 2 panda bears sitting on my shoulders to keep my FOMO in check.”
Cowen, who is also a well-known crypto YouTuber, had a rather unusual path into the crypto industry.
Benjamin Cowen could have been an astronaut
At one point in time, the Into The Cryptoverse founder actually had a career track leading to space.
While studying aerospace engineering, he landed an internship with NASA but decided that wasn’t for him, and later switched to a math and physics degree instead.
He first heard about crypto sometime before 2013, maybe even back when he was taking cryptography lessons at uni in 2011, although he’s not sure.
Unfortunately for Cowen, when he started to become passionate about Bitcoin, the $13 Bitcoin was just a bit too pricey for the hardworking student back then:
“In 2013 I started actually following it more closely, but I did not really have much money to put into it as I was a poor grad student living off a measly stipend.”
After wrapping up his PhD on “molecular dynamics simulations of radiation damage in ceramics” he landed a job at a national laboratory.
