About me

I'm Cripto Adicto: the story of my channel, told by me

You won't find filler biography here: not my age, not my city, not my portfolio. I'll tell you what you can check in my videos (what I do, how I work, where I got it wrong and how this site makes money) so you know who you're listening to before you decide anything with your money.

These are the figures on the public panel of my YouTube channel as of October 17, 2026. The subscriber count is approximate on purpose: YouTube shows the public an abbreviated version and, between 1,000 and 9,999 subscribers, only updates it every 10 new ones. Views, on the other hand, are exact. Today's figures are in the counter at the top of the page, which updates on its own.

Of those 87 videos, 84 are long and 3 are Shorts. In October 2026, 105 old videos (23 market analyses from 2025 and 82 Shorts) stopped being public on the channel, and a large share of the views went with them: on October 2 the panel read 113,232. If you see higher figures in old screenshots or websites, that's why.

My median long video runs about 11 minutes. The most watched of all is still a May 2025 Short about ONDO, with 4,786 views; the most watched long video is the Entiende Cripto episode on Cardano, with 3,592.

“Sin humo”: what no hype means to me

On the channel I introduce myself in one short line: “passionate about crypto and technical analysis”. The banner sums it up in another: “Criptomonedas · Análisis · Inversión · Sin humo” (crypto, analysis, investing, no hype). And in my descriptions, especially since spring 2026, I keep coming back to three ideas.

No filters. No hype.

— Sign-off of my Entiende Cripto descriptions, EP.05 to EP.14 (May and June 2026), translated from Spanish

The first is no sugarcoating. Almost every episode of the series has a chapter on risks; in the first three it's called “Los riesgos reales (sin endulzar)”, the real risks, unsweetened. In my video on artificial intelligence coins I wrote that, of the more than 900 sold under that label, 95% are worthless, and in September 2026 I made a whole video about “Las 3 Peores Criptomonedas de 2026”, the three worst coins of the year.

The second is the risk warning, and it isn't in the small print: it's in almost all my long videos since May 2026, and I adapt it to the topic. In the one about Binance and MiCA I make clear it isn't legal or tax advice; in the hot-versus-cold-wallet one, that keeping your crypto safe is your responsibility.

This is NOT financial advice. It's my personal opinion and my experience. Investing carries risk and you can lose your capital. Always do your own research.

— Description of “Si empezara en cripto con 20 años haría esto” (If I were starting crypto at 20, I'd do this), September 16, 2026, translated from Spanish

The third is no selling dreams. I write it in the negative, so it's clear what you won't find: “without promising you'll get rich” (July 2026), “no promises of getting rich quick” and “without selling you courses” (both from September).

A tone that has changed over time

If you go through what's still published from oldest to newest, you can see the shift. Of my 2025 long videos still on the channel, 11 of 20 had emojis in the title; of the 2026 ones, only 5 of 64, and none since February. Until that month, a dozen descriptions still mentioned EdgyTrading, like the January 2026 one inviting you to subscribe “for technical analysis with no detours and no boring theory”. From May, with Entiende Cripto under way, came the “Sin humo” line, the Instagram account and a risk warning in almost every video. Same channel, telling things differently.

Timeline: from weekly analysis to Entiende Cripto

I opened my YouTube account on September 17, 2018, but the oldest thing you can watch on the channel today is from 2025. This is the story according to the dates of what's still published:

  1. 01

    May 11, 2025 · The most watched video

    “ONDO: ¿Vender ahora o esperar?” (sell now or wait?), a technical-analysis Short. It's the oldest video still public and, with 4,786 views as of October 17, 2026, the most watched on the channel.

  2. 02

    July 21, 2025 · Altseason and dominance

    “¡La Altseason está por comenzar!”, my oldest long video still online: Ethereum, Chainlink, ONDO and Bitcoin dominance, a metric I used a lot in 2025.

  3. 03

    October 2025 to February 2026 · Almost weekly analysis

    Whatever Powell said, “¿SE ACABÓ EL BULL MARKET?” (is the bull market over?, November 2), NVIDIA's earnings, a double bottom and the weekly closes of December, and a symmetrical triangle in February. That's 30 videos in less than four months.

  4. 04

    December 2025 to February 2026 · Trading school

    Alongside the analysis, videos to learn from: scalping for beginners (December 27), RSI and divergences (January 17), three candlestick patterns (January 24) and DCA step by step (February 22).

  5. 05

    April 22, 2026 · The last analysis of that phase

    “Aún es pronto ¡Que no te engañen! La gran trampa de BTC” (it's still early, don't be fooled: the big BTC trap). Five days later, something else began.

  6. 06

    April 27, 2026 · Entiende Cripto is born

    EP.01, Bitcoin. Seven weeks later came EP.14, Tether, and the series carried on without numbers: Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, Polygon, Arbitrum, TRON, HYPE, Monero and Quant.

  7. 07

    Summer 2026 · Security, MiCA and rankings

    Binance and MiCA (June 30), wallet versus exchange, the best hot and cold wallets, the OKX tutorial, the Coldcard case, MiCA-licensed exchanges and the rankings of best and worst coins.

  8. 08

    September 2026 · Back to basics

    Blockchain for beginners, Bitcoin versus the S&P 500, trading versus investing, the MetaMask tutorial and a very personal video: “Si empezara en cripto con 20 años haría esto”.

  9. 09

    October 2026 · Clean-up and a new site

    Monero, three reasons for Bitcoin in 2027, Quant and Ledger versus Trezor. That month the channel settled at its current 87 videos and I reorganized this site into four sections: Security, Exchanges, Cryptocurrencies and the Blog.

Entiende Cripto, the series that defines my channel

If I had to point to a before and after, it would be April 27, 2026. That day I published EP.01 with a statement of intent, to analyze the 100 most important cryptocurrencies on the market one by one, and I explained why:

No jargon. No absurd promises. Just the information I wish someone had given me when I started.

Chapters (10)

The format has barely changed: the problem each coin solves, who created it, how it works, its risks and, in most episodes, my dated price projection. And it's what people watch most: as of October 17, 2026, six of my ten most watched long videos are from the series, led by Cardano (3,592 views), HYPE (2,475) and BNB (1,410).

The series lives in the Cryptocurrencies section and in the Entiende Cripto part of the video library. If you'd rather read first, what Bitcoin is covers the essentials of the first episode. For now, the written profiles of the other coins are only in Spanish.

What I've said about my beginnings

I don't share details of my life outside the channel, and neither does this page. What I have said, plainly, is that I got things wrong when I started. I wrote it in September 2026:

I know because I screwed up at the start.

— “Si empezara en cripto con 20 años haría esto” (September 16, 2026), translated from Spanish

In that video I talk about the mistakes I made and the three pieces of advice I'd follow if I started at 20 today, “knowing what I know after years in this”. The second one has a title that says it all: “watch out for gambling (my biggest mistake)”. And the intro ends with the idea that guides me: build with your head “and don't screw it up like I did”.

Chapters (4)

The idea shows up in other videos too. EP.01 is presented as the information I would have liked to get when I started, and “7 errores que ARRUINAN a los principiantes” (7 mistakes that ruin beginners) includes “the ones I made”; in that same description I admit it: “I've fallen into several”. No need for more detail. The message is that these mistakes can be avoided if someone warns you in time.

What I use, what I recommend and how this site makes money

The exchange I use is OKX, through its European entity, OKX Europe Ltd, authorized by Malta's MFSA under MiCA and passported to Spain since November 27, 2025. To keep crypto off the exchange, the hardware wallet I recommend is Ledger, and Trezor if you'd rather have an open-source alternative. I make the case in my OKX review and in Ledger vs Trezor.

The links to those three brands are affiliate links: if you sign up or buy through them, I may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. That's what funds this site. They're labeled “Advertising” and they don't change what I think, which is why I also tell you their weak spots: the penalties OKX received in 2025 in the United States and in Malta, or the customer data leaks at Ledger and Trezor, none of which exposed seed phrases. All the details are in the legal notice.

In many of my videos published before August 22, 2026 you'll find a link to Bitget in the description. Today I don't recommend it to anyone living in Spain: Bitget has no MiCA license and, since July 1, 2026, unauthorized providers can't serve clients in Spain. The same goes for Binance.

What you'll find on this site

In October 2026 I reorganized the site into four sections so you can find what you're after faster, and I kept the video library and the learning path:

For the jargon there's the glossary. And if you're only going to watch one video, make it the long one most people have seen:

How to support me without spending a cent

A channel this size grows by word of mouth. What I ask for in my descriptions is simple and free:

  1. 01

    Subscribe and hit the bell

    It's the request that closes most of my descriptions since April 2026: “if this content is useful to you, subscribe and turn on the bell”. You can do it straight from my YouTube channel.

  2. 02

    Comment with the keyword

    In most of my long videos I suggest a question and a word to answer with (“LLAVES”, “ERRORES”, “HOLD”, “PRIVACIDAD”…). That way I know what worries you and which video to make next.

  3. 03

    Share the right video

    The 7 mistakes one with someone about to start; the Coldcard one with someone who owns a cold wallet; trading versus investing with someone who has just discovered leverage.

  4. 04

    Follow me outside YouTube

    On Instagram, @cripto_adicto_, and on my Discord server, whose invite link is in my video descriptions.

FAQ /

Frequently asked questions

Who is behind Cripto Adicto?

I am: a creator who goes by Cripto Adicto (@Cripto_Adicto on YouTube) and who describes himself on the channel as “passionate about crypto and technical analysis”. I don't publish personal details such as my age or my city. What I share about myself is what I explain in my videos, like the fact that I made mistakes at the start and now try to help you avoid them.

How long has the Cripto Adicto channel existed?

I opened my YouTube account on September 17, 2018, but the oldest video still published is a Short from May 11, 2025. My oldest long video on the channel is from July 21, 2025, and the Entiende Cripto series started on April 27, 2026. As of October 17, 2026 I have 87 public videos: 84 long ones and 3 Shorts.

What does “sin humo” mean?

It's my motto, “no hype” in English: explaining crypto without promises to make you rich, risks first and without selling you courses. In practice that means a risk chapter in almost every Entiende Cripto episode, scenarios instead of prophecies, a date on every figure and a warning I repeat in my videos: “This is NOT financial advice”.

Do you give personal investment advice?

No. My videos and this site are educational and informational, and I'm neither a financial adviser nor an authorized crypto-asset service provider. I invite you to comment with a keyword so I know what worries you, but that doesn't replace a professional who knows your situation. Before investing, read the risk warning and check any platform in the CNMV or ESMA registers.

Do you make money from what you recommend?

Yes, and I'd rather say it plainly: the links to OKX, Ledger and Trezor are affiliate links. If you sign up or buy through them, I may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. They're labeled “Advertising”, they don't change my conclusions and I also explain those brands' weak spots. The details are in the legal notice.

How can I support the channel?

For free: subscribe on YouTube and hit the bell, comment with the keyword I suggest in most of my long videos, share the right video with someone who needs it and follow me on Instagram (@cripto_adicto_). I also have a Discord server; the link is in my video descriptions.
