Do you make money? Well, my sources of income are…

Trading and investing.

I’m a private investor.

Let’s really read everything here. Anyway, I want to work hard, I have absolutely no experience.

From 2014, after his bankruptcy in 2014, Mr. Yozawa studied investing on his own

and earned 100 million yen in three months, then moved to Singapore. In 2016 he moved to Dubai and got married at the same time.

About how much is your annual income now? Well, in 2017…

around 2.5 billion yen.

It was thanks to cryptocurrency doing well. I put 130 million yen into something called Ripple and it became 2.7 billion.

You probably won’t believe this, but I truly have no losses, the more I do it,

I can basically win one hundred percent of the time, because I have bank accounts all over the world.

For example, this is a Thai bank.

This is about 40 million yen.

And below, this is 100 million. This is 100 million yen.

It is 100 million yen.

If I open from in here, it comes to about 160 million yen.

I see.

Citibank, I guess.

23.73 million.

How many hundreds of millions?

So when I look at things like this, 25 million feels like a small amount.

Every single day I get texts saying “300 million came in, 500 million came in.”

Just from dividends and interest alone, it’s 90 million.

So even if I do nothing, 90 million comes in every year.

So my life has already “cleared the game.”

But I spent three years doing what I had to, aiming to reach that point.

A life that has completely “cleared the game,” with an annual income of 90 million yen just from interest even if I do nothing.

For me to get my hands on 90 million yen,

how many decades do I have to keep getting yelled at by my boss from now on?

These are all real estate contracts.

These fifty-four times, multiplied by five.

How much is this one?

This one is 150 million yen.

Even just over time, there is also 300 million in interest on this.

I sold about 1.4 billion yen worth.

The prices have gone down, right?

Even so, 300 million has come in.

The assets Mr. Yozawa currently holds

in cash, real estate, stocks, cryptocurrency, and so on,

total 6.5 billion yen.

Did you buy Ripple?

I did buy Ripple, but…

That was just last month for me.

That is the number one thing you must not do.

It is the single worst thing you can do.

And I went and bought at exactly that timing.

The gold I built up when nobody was paying attention…

I see.

If everyone already knows about it,

there is no longer any edge in investing.

When something happens, you want to use it next time.

You do not even see it on Gloom, right?

You need to have two perspectives.

What they call the big bird’s-eye view and the bug’s-eye view.

The macro view.

The macro view is

that you have to think about which direction

the trend is going to move in.
