Nick Valdez

Nick started his trading journey early, as a professional Magic: The Gathering player, a collectible trading card game where certain cards trade for thousands, even hundreds of thousands of dollars. As a top-ranked player, Nick learned to read price swings on those cards before anyone else caught on.

Eventually, he traded in trading cards for trading crypto, and that same instinct for spotting value early now drives how he trades every asset class today.

While pursuing his CPA, Nick found himself pulled deeper into crypto. He walked away from both gaming and the conventional accounting career path to go full-time into crypto content, betting on himself instead. By 2021, he was hosting one of the world's largest crypto talking-head shows, where he met Gareth Soloway. Nick has always gravitated toward strong teams, which is what led him to join Gareth and the squad at Verified Investing.
