Crypto Bros

Crypto Bros started as a Telegram community for Brazilians who wanted to understand crypto without the noise. I shared market context, study materials, and how I think about the space, always with education first.

As the community grew, the chat stopped being enough. People needed a calmer place to follow news, learn at their own pace, and keep perspective on price over time. That gap became the product: an iOS app, a web experience, and later an Apple Watch companion.

The app is built around three everyday habits: catch what matters in the market, learn the fundamentals for free, and read price with context instead of panic. News, a free course, real-time charts, and indicators sit in one place so beginners are not left alone with a blank exchange screen.

Portfolio context and buy/sell opportunities exist as supporting features for members who already follow the market, but they never outshine the educational core. The goal is literacy and community, not hype.

To keep the product alive as a solo builder, I designed an operations dashboard that does the heavy lifting: spotting trending market news and drafting bilingual posts (Portuguese and English), crossing indicators to surface Bitcoin opportunities, generating analyses from predictive markets and Bitcoin cycles, creating educational social creatives, and continuously reviewing trades and signals with data analysis so the system learns from what worked and what did not.

I designed the full visual language: brand, interface, and educational materials written to make crypto approachable for beginners. Price charts animate between time ranges so users never lose their frame of reference when they switch periods; the path of price stays continuous instead of jumping into a new chart.

The product is also ready for what comes next on Apple platforms: an Apple Watch app, Siri and on-device Apple Intelligence hooks so members can query tools and data hands-free, and a foundation prepared for iOS 27.

Crypto Bros was the first app I designed, built, and shipped entirely on my own to the App Store. That launch led to an invitation to Apple’s Brazil headquarters for a developer event, where the work was reviewed and recognized by the Apple team.

The project also opened the door to Paradigma Education, Brazil’s first Bitcoin research desk and a national reference, where the community I help reach spans more than 9,000 members. Crypto Bros itself remains intentionally small and personal (50+ members, including people outside Brazil), but it became the bridge from a side community into a broader research and education stage.
