I have email from Banyan Hill teasing:
“Every $1,000 into a $120,000 Windfall Within a Year.”
…and..
“Today, He Reveals His Next Three 100XCrypto Targets.” Which he does “today”, (but only if you pony up $1,995 for a year’s subscription, after your $1,000 gift (Banyan Hill is giving away a million dollars, or it would be $2,995), if you are one of the first 1000 to sign up. If his self-reported record is accurate, many of his picks, especially on the heels of the Bitcoin halvings did phenomenonly well. Even if some failed miserably, the returns on the good ones were exceptional enough to massively offset the losses, putting one well into the black. The Luna trades alone inside of one year – 10K paid out over $1,100,000. So it looks like even if you invested in 10 of his other picks that went to $0, you made a million. He says he has been researching 35,000 cryptocurrencies since the last halving, to verify “factors” of success, etc…. I am very, very curious (considering how massive the Bitcoin halving is especially with the ETFs like IBIT only recently being available, if you, Travis, or anyone else knows what the 3 coins are he has teased here.
Does anyone else see this as a rare opportunity to maybe pay off their mortgage? I know he has hawked cryptos for years. But he must have learned a lot, and is considered one of the more expert crypto investing experts, no? Heck, if I had even a little more confidence that this was a pretty sure thing (I do hold IBIT and ETH actual coins which have both done well) I might even pay the $1,995, and invest pretty heavily. Maybe I even should have gotten off the fence in years past.

In his pitch, Ian King drops one huge hint earlier in his presentation. He doesn’t repeat it when he zeros in on the three crypto coins that he’s touting in relation to the upcoming (April 2024) Bitcoin Halving. And that is: One of the coins was developed by someone who, as a teenager, hacked the CIA. That would be Ellis Pinsky. It bears further research, but the crypto he has developed may be Celestia (TIA), available on Coinbase. Other clues: one of three coins is backed by Bain Capital Investments. Another backer: Tiger Global. If anyone has additional information, this is the place to share it!
I previously posted speculation that the developer of one of the 3 crypto coins Ian King is promoting in relation to the Bitcoin halving this coming April, was Ellis Pinsky, who hacked the CIA as a teenager. Further research shows that he wasn’t the only teenager who hacked not only the CIA, but also the FBI. On YouTube there is a posting about Mutafa Al Bassam, who also hacked the CIA. And the YouTube video ties him directly to the development of Celestia (TIA)
Thanks. I also like to know what are these three crypto coins that Ian King has recommended.
Back again with new, conclusive information. One of Ian King’s clues regarding the developer of one of his 3 coins to buy before the 4th Bitcoin Halving: The developer once hacked both the CIA and the FBI. He was later hired by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. This is definitely Mutafa Al-Bssam. His Wikipedia profile confirms that, when a teenager, he hacked the CIA and also the FBI. And that he is the developer of Celestia.
Thank you Thomas for sharing this info with us. Still working on trying to uncover King’s other two coins to speculate on the 4th halving.

What is the relationship between hacking and halving?
Orb Labs, is a startup focused on making blockchains capable of interacting with each other, or as Crunchbase put it: “Orb Labs is developing cross-chain messaging protocols and omnichain applications for both developers and consumers. A successful a seed round was led by the crypto arm of Bain Capital.
Another recent crypto investment involves Aera, a decentralized protocol to help decentralized autonomous organizations, or DAOs, manage their finances. Bain Capital Crypto invested $8 million in Aera, in October 2023.
I don’t know if Bain’s “Crypto Arm” has other investments, one of which might be one that Ian King is selling.
As for Coin #2, Ian said:
“Building the infrastructure for the tokenization of real world assets”, and has backing from Tiger Global Management, Coinbase Ventures and Pantera Capital.
QuickNode is backed by all three. Does it fit this description? “Infrastructure” certainly fits. But Tiger Global has 21 crypto investments that coincarp.com shows as in the “infrastructure” category, such as Safe and Starkware. But I have not checked which, if any, of the others Coinbase and Pantera back.
Thoughts anyone who knows about this industry, or Ian’s list?
This is so helpful for a complete novice in this Crypto venture. Would be great if Travis could join the discussion. I am close to sending the $1995 but would rather invest it in these three coins.
did you join/
It appears that Celestia is not the first pick. Ian is sending out emails saying “In Next Wave Crypto Fortunes, I recommended three cryptos — and already, they’re up 91%, 43% and 20% in just a week!
All three are on target for 10,000%, and they’re only just beginning to rally.
Currently, they’re still under $2…..
———
Celestia is $13.73 right now. It was over a year ago that it was under $2. So that can’t be it, right?
I have heard another say without specifying his source that the 3 coins are:
Skale (SKL)
Storj (Storj)
Ondo Finance (Ondo)
I think I erred here…
QuickNode provides high-performance access to 25+ blockchains, including Ethereum, Gnosis (xDAI),
Polygon (Matic) + zkEVM, Binance Smart Chain (BNB/BSC), Avalanche, Fantom, Solana, Optimism, Arbitrum (+Nova), Algorand, Aptos, Celo, Stacks, Near, Flow, Base, TRON, Polkadot, zkSync Era, XRP Ledger, Stellar and more… QuickNode’s Token API allows you to easily manage and access your tokenized assets. Their Token API supports all major token standards and protocols.
So, does look to have high marks on infrastructure, certainly.
But QuickNode is still private, so those percent increases could not apply, unless there were
public shares, or an associated coin or token. And there isn’t. They are in the token API business – not about minting their own coins. An interesting company, but can’t be one of Ian’s.
As for SKL: They climbed 9% just today, but then they were at $0.021 back in late 2023, after having been around for years. Addressing security concerns on Ethereum blockchain sounds good, depending on their ability to capture market share, but I don’t know how they do that. Also, I have not found any association between Bain Capital, Tiger Global Management, Coinbase Ventures or Pantera Capital ….and Skale. There are a lot of bullish predictions for where it will be by 2026, ..2030.
Anyone seconding that these are the three coins?
Do those three tend to match the criteria of the ones Ian is promoting. Also, apparently there is now a fourth coin.. I may go ahead and subscribe in the next few days and hope it is a good investment. If so, I will be glad to share the coins with you.
Thank you, I can say this. For sure, I bought this $2,000 newsletter 2 years ago when i was a bit more flush and it was very solid, worth it , he advised SOL at $6 or so, I got in at $26, and a few others. I just had 2 kids, bought a home and used my cash to do that. I cannot afford the $ now to get the newsletter, but i can say he changed my life, with several in depth reports and advisors, and very helpful support if i had a question. I was totally new to Crypto, and I would say, of all the 100’s of newsletters, Ian crushed it. ~B
A good reason to go to the expense is that you are getting the entry/exit points. Some coins skyrocket and crash a year (or less) later. Unless you take the time and have the interest to watch them regularly, just knowing the coins may get one into trouble.
Shawn Fanning developed Napster, which I believe Ian referred to one of the founders of one of the coins he recommends. Shawn is one of the co-founders of Helium… ?? Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Btw, Ian shares some of his posts at http://www.iankingguru.com at no cost.
I heard the three were: HNT, XRP and TIA. It came from another source that has been accurate before, so not sure what to think. I guess the only way to know for sure is for someone who signed up comes and posts which 3 he was promoting.
Have not bought the newsletter yet but have been told the three are Helium, Ripple, and Celestia. Not sure how the under $2.00 price got stated. Maybe a time frame issue. I did reach out to Travis once again to let him know how much we would appreciate his thoughts.
curious is correct. The 4th is seam.
The first one should be Helium and the second one should be Maker.
Karl, why do you say “should be” ? It either is or isn’t. Are you saying you know this for a fact or jus sayin?
The real question I have is how confident Uncledonya is regarding the four picks he is stating?
What is your source?

Thank you so much for sharing, UncleDonya!! I will surely subscribe if I see my investment returned. Having followed another at BH, but I got disoriented when they suddenly departed. But IK has picked up a lot of the equities that Paul M had recommended, so he has already been a help. But it makes me wary of putting down a lot repeatedly w subscriptions. Thanks again!!
Thank you for the input on this. I don’t mind paying for education and services, however when it starts to hover above $1,000 and certainly $2000 I am very hesitant. Are there places that you can find a “group share” on a service where multiple people go in on it and buy it? Another one I was looking at is “Breakout Fortunes by Robert Ross” for crypto. It seems to me the most valuable information that would be provided along with the tokens is the early entry and exit.
A few like minded investors can surely collaborate and split the costs, let me know how I can reach you out then, ok?
John, thanks. I am not sure how to reach out with a PM. I am also looking at another serive, same price, being offered by Robert Ross…Manward “Breakout Fortunes”. Likeminded with 6 people..$335 approx each would be a great price.
I don’t know much about much “Breakout Fortunes”, but it could be also a potential cost-sharing idea, for Ian King’s though is more interesting to me at least. Don’t know how to PM here, but we can exchange emails if possible here.
Agree to cost sharing model. I have long thought about that – but like earlier user said – not sure if there are some lgl challenges.
I don’t believe there is one to be honest. Cost sharing means memberships aka money-in to these investing services, which they would not have otherwise. I feel comfortable in taking that minimum risk if there is any in the first place, as other people were/are doing it already for a long time now.
But why do that if uncledonya is giving us the picks from Ian? We should be thanking him!
