The story of Cripto Adicto, told through his own videos

You won't find a padded biography here: no age, no city, no portfolio. Everything below can be checked, because it comes from the dates of his videos, from what his descriptions say and from how the channel has changed since its first Short. If something isn't in his videos, it isn't on this page either.

Those are the figures on the “About” panel of his YouTube channel as of October 2, 2026. The subscriber number is approximate by design: YouTube shows the public an abbreviated count 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 on the counter on the home page.

Go through the 188 videos one by one and more details emerge. There are 103 long videos and 85 Shorts. He uploaded 79 videos in 2025 and 109 between January and September 2026. The median long video runs about 12 minutes. And one stat says a lot about how people watch YouTube today: Shorts account for more than 81,000 views, roughly seven in every ten on the channel. The most-watched upload of all is a May 2025 Short about ONDO, with 4,767 views; the most-watched long video is the Entiende Cripto episode on Cardano, with 3,459.

“Sin humo”: the philosophy, in his own words

On his channel he introduces himself in a single line: “passionate about cryptocurrencies and technical analysis.” His descriptions tell the rest, and since spring 2026 they keep coming back to three ideas.

Sin filtros. Sin humo.

— Sign-off of the Entiende Cripto descriptions from EP.05 to EP.14 (May and June 2026): “No filters. No hype.”

The first is no sugarcoating. Almost every episode in the series has a chapter on risks (in the first three it's called “the real risks, unsweetened”), the Dogecoin one promises “both sides, no hype”, and in his video on artificial intelligence coins he writes that of the more than 900 sold under that label, “95% are worthless.” In September 2026 he went a step further with “Las 3 Peores Criptomonedas de 2026 | No Inviertas Aquí” (the 3 worst cryptos of 2026: don't invest here).

The second is the risk warning. It isn't fine print: it appears in almost every long video since May 2026, in most of them right at the top of the description. It also adapts to the topic. In the video on Binance and MiCA he makes clear it isn't legal or tax advice; in the one on cold versus hot wallets he reminds you that the security of your crypto is your responsibility.

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

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

The third is not selling dreams. He writes 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

Scrolling through the catalog from oldest to newest also shows an evolution. In 2025, 32 of his 43 long videos had emojis in the title; in 2026, only 5 of 60, and none since May. Until February 2026, about fifteen descriptions still mentioned EdgyTrading: in January 2026, one invited viewers to subscribe to EdgyTrading “for technical analysis with no beating around the bush and no boring theory.” Since May, with Entiende Cripto under way, the “Sin humo” line (in two out of three long videos), the @cripto_adicto_ Instagram account and a risk warning on almost all of them have taken over. Same channel, a different way of telling things.

Timeline: from “Bitcoin en 1 minuto” to Entiende Cripto

The account was opened on September 17, 2018, but there's nothing public on the channel from before 2025. From then on, this is the story according to publication dates:

  1. 01

    March 27, 2025 · The first Short

    “Bitcoin en 1 minuto: ¿Sube o baja?” (Bitcoin in one minute: up or down?): key BTC levels in express format. It's the oldest thing you can watch on the channel today.

  2. 02

    April 1, 2025 · A joke with a moral

    A Short with “3 FOOLPROOF tips (or not)” for getting rich: extreme leverage, borrowing grandma's money and putting everything into dog coins. The description signed off with “Don't follow these tips…” and a wink.

  3. 03

    May 2025 · Analysis Shorts

    Seven Shorts in a month about Bitcoin, Chainlink, ONDO and trading. One of them, “ONDO: ¿Vender ahora o esperar?” (sell now or wait?, May 11), is still the channel's most-watched video.

  4. 04

    July 14, 2025 · The first long video

    “¿Bitcoin rumbo a los $140.000?” (Bitcoin heading for $140,000?), which ended by asking you to comment your prediction and subscribe “for more weekly analysis.” Then came the falling wedge, Bitcoin dominance and the videos about “altseason.”

  5. 05

    August 25, 2025 · The challenge

    “De $500 a 1 MILLÓN” (from $500 to 1 million): one chapter of his challenge to grow a $500 account to a million, in which he showed the real progress of that account and how he was managing his trades.

  6. 06

    September to November 2025 · Patterns and macro

    The inverse head and shoulders, whatever Powell was about to say, the debate over whether the bull market was over (“¿SE ACABÓ EL BULL MARKET?”, November 2) and even NVIDIA's earnings.

  7. 07

    December 2025 to February 2026 · Trading school

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

  8. 08

    March and April 2026 · The Shorts phase

    Two months of almost nothing but Shorts, 29 in total: reflections on time and money, the fear of investing, tokenization and a warning about scams.

  9. 09

    April 27, 2026 · Entiende Cripto is born

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

  10. 10

    Summer 2026 · Security, MiCA and rankings

    Binance and MiCA (June 30), wallet versus exchange, the best hot and cold wallets, the fake Ledger app, the Coldcard case, exchanges with a MiCA license and the MetaMask tutorial, alongside rankings of the best and worst coins.

  11. 11

    September 2026 · Back to basics

    Blockchain for beginners, Bitcoin versus the S&P 500, trading versus investing, and a very personal video: “Si empezara en cripto con 20 años haría esto” (if I were starting crypto at 20, I'd do this).

Entiende Cripto, the series that defines the channel

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

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

The format has barely changed since: the problem each coin solves, who created it, how it works, its risks and his predictions. And it's what gets watched most: as of October 2, 2026, seven of his ten most-watched long videos belong to the series, led by Cardano (3,459 views), HYPE (1,705) and BNB (1,394).

What he says about his own beginnings

There's no public information about his life outside the channel, and this page isn't going to make any up. What he has said, bluntly, is that he got things wrong when he started. He 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 he talks about the mistakes he made and the three pieces of advice he'd follow if he were starting today at 20, “knowing what I know after years in this.” The second tip has a title that says it all: “careful with gambling (my big mistake).” And the video's intro text ends with a line that could be the channel's motto: build sensibly “and don't screw it up like I did.”

Chapters (4)

The idea comes back in other videos. EP.01 is presented as the information he wishes he'd had when he started, and “7 errores que ARRUINAN a los principiantes” (7 mistakes that ruin beginners) includes, according to its description, “the ones I made.” There are no further details, and none are needed: the message is that those mistakes can be avoided if someone warns you in time.

What the channel covers

Over time, the videos have sorted themselves into seven blocks. On this site, each one has its own page:

For people who prefer reading, there are written guides, from what is Bitcoin to risk management, plus a glossary for the odd words. The long video most people have watched, though, is an episode of the series:

How to support the channel without spending a cent

A channel this size grows by word of mouth. What he asks for in his descriptions is simple and free, and sharing a video doesn't cost anything either:

  1. 01

    Subscribe and turn on the bell

    It's the request that closes almost every long-video description since April 2026: “If this content gives you value, subscribe and turn on the bell.” You can do it straight from his YouTube channel.

  2. 02

    Comment with the keyword

    Since April 2026, almost every long video suggests a question and a word to reply with (“CERO”, “LLAVES”, “ERRORES”, “HOLD”…). That's how he finds out what worries you and what video to make next.

  3. 03

    Share the right video

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

  4. 04

    Follow him outside YouTube

    On Instagram, @cripto_adicto_, for daily content, and on a Discord server that, as he puts it, has only just started and doesn't have much activity yet. His invitation: join “to be there from the beginning.”

FAQ /

Frequently asked questions

Who is behind Cripto Adicto?

A creator who goes by Cripto Adicto (@Cripto_Adicto on YouTube) and introduces himself on his channel as “passionate about cryptocurrencies and technical analysis.” This site doesn't include personal details such as his age or city: what's said about him is what he explains in his own videos, such as having made mistakes at the start and now trying to help you avoid them.

How long has the Cripto Adicto channel existed?

The account joined YouTube on September 17, 2018, but public content starts on March 27, 2025 with a Short, “Bitcoin en 1 minuto”. The first long video came on July 14, 2025, and the Entiende Cripto series on April 27, 2026. As of October 2, 2026, there are 188 videos, counting long ones and Shorts.

What does “Sin humo” mean?

It's the channel's motto, roughly “no hype”: explaining crypto without promises of getting rich, with the risks up front and without selling you courses. In practice that means a chapter on risks in almost every Entiende Cripto episode, scenarios instead of prophecies and a warning he repeats in his videos: “This is NOT financial advice.”

Does Cripto Adicto give personalized investment advice?

No. His videos are educational and informative, and he says so himself in the descriptions. He invites you to comment with a keyword and offers help with questions, but that's no substitute for a professional who knows your situation. Before investing, read the risk warning and check any platform in the official CNMV or ESMA registers.

How can I support Cripto Adicto?

For free: subscribe on YouTube and turn on the bell, comment with the keyword his long videos have suggested since April 2026, share the right video with whoever needs it, and follow him on Instagram (@cripto_adicto_). He also runs a Discord server that, in his words, has only just started; the link is in his video descriptions.

How many episodes does Entiende Cripto have?

As of October 2, 2026, 20. The first fourteen are numbered, from Bitcoin (EP.01, April 27, 2026) to Tether (EP.14, June 16). After that came, without numbers, Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, Polygon, Arbitrum, TRON and HYPE. The series aims to cover the 100 most important cryptocurrencies on the market, one episode at a time.
