HODLNOTS 2025: A Year in Review — Growth, Innovation & Global Impact
As 2025 ends, we’re reflecting on one of the most transformative and rewarding years in the history of the HODLNOTS Ecosystem. From major product launches to global events, from explosive indicator adoption to community achievements, this year showcased what happens when dedication, passion, and innovation align.
Thank you to every trader, supporter, and teammate who made 2025 a defining chapter.
Here’s a look back at the milestones that shaped our year:
A Major Education Milestone: The Self-Paced Foundational Trading Course
Early in 2025, we released one of our largest education projects to date; The Self-Paced Online Foundational Trading Course.
Designed for those who can’t attend the traditional Live Foundational Trading Course—or simply prefer to learn on their own schedule—this new course brought the same deep, practical HODLNOTS training into an on-demand format. And of course, we kept the heart of HODLNOTS education intact with weekly live trainer support still included, to ensure students get hands-on guidance, answers to their questions, and the real-world mentorship we’re known for. This launch has allowed countless new traders to step into their education with full flexibility, without sacrificing the direct connection to our expert team.
The HODLFIRE Indicator: A Breakout Year in Performance & Popularity
No product in our ecosystem saw a larger surge in new customers this year than our HODLFIRE Indicator.
Traders across all styles—from fast-paced scalping, to swing trading, to long-term positional strategies—continue to discover how powerful this indicator is for navigating cryptocurrency charts with confidence and precision. 2025 marked a turning point; more traders than ever publicly shared their success using the HODLFIRE Indicator, spreading awareness organically and propelling its adoption across the community. And the best part? The HODLFIRE Indicator is available to try for 7 days complimentary/free for all new users, letting traders test-drive the indicator and watch the explainer training videos for a full week at no cost and no payment method taken. Interest has skyrocketed, especially as people realise that the HODLFIRE Indicator also works seamlessly across Stocks, Forex, Gold, and all TradingView charts.
3M Challenge Success — New Black Bear Experts Enter the CAVE
The 3M (Minute Money Masters) Challenge continued to grow in popularity this year. 2025 saw a wave of our global members from S. Africa, France and Germany completing the 3M Challenge to become new Black Bear expert traders and enter our advance private trading group (aka The Cave). The CAVE – Only 1 way to enter, and always FREE for Black Bear Level Traders. This achievement reflects not only the dedication of our traders, but the effectiveness of structured, high-accountability learning. The CAVE continues to thrive as a place where serious traders refine their skills, push their limits, and trade at a professional level. Leverage training is taught at this level only and should never be attempted without the education, experience and risk management that comes at this level of trading.
HODLNOTS Goes Global: Conferences in the USA & Australia
Bitcoin Convention – Las Vegas, Nevada (May 2025)
This year gave our team the opportunity to come together in person—something we don’t always get to do. Alongside our partners at Bitcoin Trend & Forecast, we connected with traders, industry leaders, and long-time supporters during a highly successful event. The energy was electric, the conversations plentiful, and the impact long-lasting.
ACC Convention – Sydney, Australia (November 2025)
With 2025’s market downtrend, Australian investors and traders were hungry for real education—not hype. Attendees were eager to learn how to trade the highs and lows of the market to increase their Bitcoin and crypto holdings while maintaining long-term investment strategies. We met countless individuals exploring trading as:
✔ a new income stream
✔ a lifestyle shift
✔ a work-from-home skill
✔ a way to trade while traveling
✔ or simply a method to bring more freedom into their days
Our history, reputation, and track record in teaching people to trade for a living stood out in a powerful way. For many, discovering HODLNOTS at the event felt like finding gold in a bear market. This year, HODLNOTS Founder and expert Black Bear Trainer, Wendy Landman was invited to be a panel speaker at the CoinW Exchanges’ event ,which included key market influencers and market experts.
New in 2025: The HODLFIRE LIVE-ONLY Deep Dive Course
As demand grew around the HODLFIRE indicator, so did the requests for deeper, more advanced training. Our long time professional trainers and traders specialising in the cryptocurrency markets developed and teach this new LIVE hands-on training course which has been loved by those who have attended the first few courses and already joined the Graduate support calls.

✔The strategic use of multiple indicators
✔Simplified charting methods
✔Ichimoku Clouds
