Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy, a freshman in the crypto trading arena, recently estimated that he will receive millions of dollars in upcoming Bitcoin (BTC) trading profits.
“I’m 100 grand in Bitcoin – in a week,” he said, noting positions in Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies as part of an Aug. 17 deal. video posted on Twitter. “I’m with $ 98,000 in Bitcoin – not bad,” he added. “At this rate, I’ll make like a million dollars a month in Bitcoin.”
In 2020, Portnoy made a name for himself as a popular live-streaming stock trader on Twitter, calling himself Davey Day Trader.
The comedic investor reportedly plunged into the crypto space in 2017, though he probably did not know much about the sector until his requested educational visit from Gemini exchange founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss came to fruition. During the visit, Portnoy said he put $ 250,000 into a crypto-trading account.
Portnoy even picked up crypto company BlockFi as a new sponsor, listed in its August 17 release. In the same video, he crowned himself the king of “Bitchain,” accidentally combining multiple terms in reference to Bitcoin, before comedically shaking up the mistake in the true Portnoy way.
