a few short years, former high-school dropout cashier from Sweden Carl The Moon Runefelt has been transformed into a top crypto influencer who shares videos of his life of private jets, supercars and million-dollar watches that inspire his followers and annoy his critics.&lt;\/b&gt;&lt;span style=\"font-weight: 400\"&gt;&lt;\/span&gt;\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Drawing from quantum physics, he has an explanation for his unlikely success  the universe isnt real but is merely a construction of our minds in which we are able to rearrange reality to match our wildest dreams. Despite critics and controversy, Runefelt continues on a mission to inspire his followers to live their dreams.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Law_of_attraction\"><\/span>Law of attraction<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">My parents told me that I should stop this bullshit. They said it was shady, Runefelt recalls.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Runefelt, 27, came across Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in 2018 while researching ways to make money to climb out of his lowly job as a cashier. He was quickly captivated, seeing large price swings and the fact that coins that had recently peaked at $20,000 were bought for mere dollars only a few years earlier. This path seemed promising, and he committed himself to learning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12018\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12018\" style=\"width: 601px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-12018\" src=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/magazine-Carl-the-Moon-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"The Moon\" width=\"601\" height=\"338\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12018\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Can self-belief and determination take you to The Moon?<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Runefelt already had a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube<\/a> channel, and very much like Gajesh Naik, the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">13-year-old star of a previous Journeys<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> article, he soon began making videos to explain the things he had learned, with a <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Q5G4_2Svz0M\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">tutorial<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> on CoinMarketCaps site being among his first. People loved watching his videos, Runefelt says, and his fan base grew quickly. Soon enough, sponsors came knocking.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"pullquote align-center\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When you teach, you push yourself to learn. So, I started making videos, and my my channel grew very, very fast in the beginning, getting 1,000s of views per video.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">First, the money started to trickle in via sponsorships and affiliate deals, where Runefelt would earn money whenever his viewers clicked a link or created an account on a certain crypto exchange or service. Though his parents were initially very worried, imploring him to finish his education or get a real job instead of sitting at the computer all day, their tune changed when Runefelt began making several thousands of dollars a month just doing YouTube and crypto  far more than he earned at the supermarket, a job he quit some months later in November 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Awesome to hear <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheMoonCarl?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@TheMoonCarl<\/a> share his crypto journey from cashier in Sweden to entrepreneur and top influencer and at his Dubai office <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CointelegraphZN?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@CointelegraphZN<\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Cointelegraph?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Cointelegraph<\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/eYJbzlGjpT\">pic.twitter.com\/eYJbzlGjpT<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Elias Ahonen.eth (@eahonen) <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/eahonen\/status\/1526657711693234178?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 17, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Almost all the money Runefelt earned, he invested into cryptocurrencies and companies related to them.

While Cointelegraph cant confirm the numbers, he certainly has an extravagant lifestyle befitting the newly rich.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Today, Runefelt sees himself as more a businessman than an influencer, managing his empire through TheMoonGroup, which he founded in November 2021. One of his primary entrepreneurial projects is <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/coinmarketcap.com\/currencies\/kasta\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Kasta<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, a payments app that he co-founded in early 2021. Payments should be dead simple, like sending an SMS, Runefelt says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Runefelt also has a non-crypto <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/CarlRunefelt\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">YouTube channel<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, called simply <em>Carl Runefelt<\/em>, which he describes as a lifestyle channel where he can be seen in videos such as BUYING MY DREAM BUGATTI, IM BUYING A MILLION DOLLAR JACOB WATCH!!!!! and I PAID $80,000 FOR THIS 8 HOUR PRIVATE JET FLIGHT!!! to name a few recent titles. These videos lack the affiliate links of his crypto channel and feature an energetic and excited Runefelt presenting his luxurious Dubai lifestyle to the outside

Privately enjoying watches and sports cars and jets is one thing, but why post about them for everyone to see? What does he have to prove? Though it goes against everything his (and the authors) Nordic culture taught him, Runefelts answer has an undeniable logic.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"pullquote align-center\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The only thing I want to do is inspire people to become as wealthy as they possibly can  just open their minds and show them that everything is possible. Stop limiting yourself and start realizing that you deserve your dream life.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It was only 3.5 years ago, after all, that Runefelt lived an entirely different life. Today, he sees himself as an example to other versions of his past self, who see little inspiration around them. I was watching similar videos when unsuccessful, he recalls, adding that if he could make it in such a short time, anyone can. The first step is to visualize goals and write them down.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But why should people desire and work toward wealth?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Its more about the freedom that you get from wealth. With freedom, I think comes happiness because you decide what you want to do with your own time. Time is the true wealth anyways. Money is just something that you use as a tool to free up your time. When you have all the time in the world, youre the wealthiest person in the world, Runefelt philosophizes. When he gets up in the morning, he does only the things he wants to  who can argue with that?<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Secret\"><\/span>The Secret<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">His philosophy, however, goes deeper and is weirder than that, with Runefelt using quantum physics to explain his outlook on life. The universe and everything in it, he insists, is merely a hologram. Its just an illusion. Its just energy. Vibrational energy  and our consciousness is the only thing that really truly exists, he explains with complete assuredness. Following this, it is via consciousness that reality is materialized using the Law of Attraction. To create an exciting reality, one must have the audacity to dream big. I literally am shaping my reality because its all energy anyways. In quantum physics, we learn that everything that we perceive to be solid is in fact not solid, he declares.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12005\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12005\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-12005 \" src=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DSC00538_1_44-e1652819689206-1024x425.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"249\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12005\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Runefelt shares the secret with Cointelegraphs Elias Ahonen, who has manifested you to read this article and click subscribe.

Three years and BOOM, you can be anything you want  a famous musician, a billionaire. It doesnt matter what you want to do, anything can be done with the right mindset, he insists.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"pullquote align-center\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can materialize anything in this world  whether its a Bugatti, whether its your dream life, your dream relationship, your dream business or your employees. Everything that I have today was intentionally put in place by me.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What Runefelt describes  give or take some quantum mechanics  appears exactly as the premise of <em>The Secret<\/em>, a 2006 Rhonda Byrne self-help bestseller, which <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/slate.com\/human-interest\/2007\/05\/what-happened-when-i-followed-the-secrets-advice-for-two-months.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">claims<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> that people can change their lives using thoughts. The idea is not new  Byrne herself was inspired by <em>The <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/sciencee\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"5\" title=\"Science\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Science<\/a> of Getting Rich<\/em>, <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Science_of_Getting_Rich\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">published<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in 1910.

If he were to instead make a video with a normal thumbnail and descriptive title, no one is watching it, even if it was the best video that month. Its very sad that the world works like that, but its just how it is, he admits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Though Runefelt is adamant that YouTube is today just a hobby, his team continues to spend time getting the titles and thumbnails just right to maximize views. Sometimes, this means changing the titles after publication in order to increase clicks, which he says has caused some misunderstandings. We simply use whatever words are more likely to gain traction at any given time. The titles are meant to get clicks instead of serving as recommendations or predictions. The purpose is to actually get people to watch the video itself, he emphasizes.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">He considers his Attention Deficit Disorder, which caused him to drop out of high school, an asset in his work today because when you are doing something you really, really like, focus becomes a superpower  someone with ADD will have laser focus, he

He describes the following years as ones of aimless floating and partying. Though he eventually settled into a job making $1,500 per month as a supermarket cashier, his parents remained worried about his future prospects. Runefelt was not satisfied and refused to accept his position in life.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"pullquote align-center\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I decided Im going to be rich; Im going to be successful; and Im going to shape my reality.

At times, this inspired a certain nihilism to compete with his ambitions  if the world was corrupt, why feel bad about doing poorly in life? Beginning to research alternatives to the stupid system, he first encountered narratives around precious metals, which inspired him to use a lions share of his monthly savings to buy silver and gold.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While these themes of dreaming big and distrusting the system are ones that American readers may find familiar and even unoriginal, it must be pointed out how culturally unconventional they are in his native Sweden. In fact, Runefelts behavior goes completely against <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Law_of_Jante\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Law of Jante<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, a Nordic sociological term to denote a social attitude of disapproval toward expressions of individuality and personal success, whose overarching principle is that no one is to think themselves as better than others.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"pullquote align-center\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When I left Sweden, I had to give up 70% of everything I made so far with crypto, YouTube, and investments. Thats horrible  I think taxes are a scam.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This, in part, explains the countrys high tax rates and the fact that tax records are public in the country. Instead of wishing for private jets, Swedish society expects people to find peace with their lot in life and place their trust in the system, something Runefelt refused to do. With cryptocurrency itself billed as trustless and beyond broken governments, it is easy to see how the message gains <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">little transaction<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in the Nordic countries where trust and transparency are the default and material success is something to be understated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ill never move back, declares Runefelt, who moved to tax-free Dubai in 2020. People encourage success here  in Sweden people dont like it so much.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_postblock_carousel
