Become a Collective Shift Member: Accelerator or Platinum
From Collective Shift, founded in 2020 by TEDx speaker Ben Simpson and built on the 5-step SHIFT Method. Updated November 2026.
The Short Answer
Collective Shift has two 12-month memberships. The Accelerator suits you if you want to build your crypto strategy in a four-week live cohort, then keep learning with our research and analyst Q&A. Platinum adds a dedicated client success manager, eight private 1-on-1 educational sessions a year and weekly workshops. A free strategy call confirms which fits before anything is charged.

Hold Bitcoin as Your Core
Bitcoin sits at the center of the portfolio, held in your own self-custody.
I
Invest in On-Chain Businesses
Look for on-chain businesses with real revenue and real users.
F
Filter Every Coin Before You Buy
Check token unlocks, dilution and liquidity, so a good story is never the only reason for a position.

How Our Analysts Size Positions
The Academy module on portfolio allocation and position sizing describes a portfolio like a house. Core positions are the foundation, and smaller positions are your higher-risk bets on newer coins or themes. Too much in the risky part and the portfolio becomes unstable; too little and you may miss the upside you came for.
In a September 2026 lesson on building and rebalancing portfolios, our team explains why Bitcoin stays the anchor: it is the pillar that has held us in good stead over the years. In a separate lesson on early-stage coins, the team asks whether you really want to face losing 10 to 20% of your whole crypto portfolio in days by putting that much into a single early project, in a cycle meant to last years.
