Barstool Sports’ founder, Dave Portnoy, has found a lot of fame in the social media world of finance. His rise to fame in this world started with the very intense and entertaining videos of himself day trading stocks, trading large amounts of capital. This became known as “Davey Day Trader Global” or DDTG.
Entry to Crypto
Given his level of fame on social platforms (Twitter followers: 1.7M), the crypto-community has been eager to see him onboard this novel and volatile asset class. Earlier this month, he released a video showing interest in entering but did not understand how Bitcoin worked or any of it for that matter. He asked the Winklevoss twins to help explain it to him and then begun releasing DDTG crypto videos. The first of which was this one.

Exit from Crypto
Although his show got sponsored by BlockFi, crypto isn’t for everyone. The hectic 24/7/365 world is hard to stomach for many, especially day traders. His exit was fast and swift, but as we’ll see now did not last long.
I currently own zero bitcoins. I will wait and watch. I lost 25k. Just like with the stock market it took my brain time to figure it out. I know this. The Link Marines are weak and the orchid flowers do die in the crypto world. I may or may not be done. #bitcoin

A prominent figure on crypto-twitter: Crypto Cobain took it upon himself to assert his dominance over this space which made this entire journey more humorous.
Re-entry to Crypto
The reactions he has received from many has made him reconsider entering once again “just for the memes”.
A More Serious Note
While this is very likely all social media gimmicks and ploys, the reality of new traders that enter the crypto-space is not very far off from this. Their first entry makes them realise how difficult and hectic this space is, but leaves many with an addiction; an addiction that some people have turned highly profitable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
