## Transcript

This piece of legislation is going to
make America the crypto capital of the
world.
The crypto market is in the early stages
of one of the largest bull runs in
crypto history
using the state-of-the-art crypto
technology. This could be perhaps the
greatest revolution in financial
technology since the birth of the
internet itself. Who would have thought
we would have been saying that? with now
the United States, the largest financial
market on earth, about to buy Bitcoin.
We've stated publicly that Bitcoin is
digital gold. We believe it's in the
best interest of the United States to to
garner as much as we can possibly get
and tokenizing the traditional financial
system.
Today, I'm announcing the launch of
Project Crypto to enable America's
financial markets to move onchain
with the upcoming Clarity Act, one of
the biggest catalysts for crypto. We do
believe the bill will be passed uh
within the next 60 days. Uh and this is
further clarification. The Genius Act
gave us clarity on stable coins. This
new bill will give us clarity on much
more within the general world of crypto.
a catalyst so impactful it may have
generational
effects
and again provides the rules that the
traditional finance industry, banks,
insurance companies, credit card
companies, uh as well as the Fortune 500
generally need to know that they're able
to engage in this marketplace. They they
they know what they're allowed to do,
how they're allowed to do it, how they
have to disclose it and report it uh and
pay taxes on it. And this is going to
unleash the burdens that have kept
everybody out of the marketplace. The
result of all this tell you, you're
going to see hundreds of millions,
probably hundreds of billions of
dollars, perhaps even trillions of
dollars flowing into Bitcoin and other
digital assets.
But what crypto coins have the biggest
growth potential? And how would I invest
$1,000 into crypto into 2026 to get
rich? And since all of these coins
operate on a supply demand issue, just
like any other asset, we're anticipating
this is going to be the beginning of a
major source of inflows and price
increases over the next several years.
Be sure to click subscribe to Altcoin
Daily for an edge investing in crypto
because as these specific coins get new
updates, make big news, Altcoin Daily
makes one video per day keeping you
informed. And the first coin and my
biggest holding and there's a reason
this coin is my biggest holding is
Bitcoin. You are not too late. Bitcoin
is digital gold. I would put $400 out of
my $1,000 immediately into Bitcoin. 40%.
And there's a reason. Bitcoin is going
much much much higher than $ 109 120
$140,000 per coin in my opinion. By the
way, I am not a financial adviser. I'm
only speaking from me, my journey, what
I'm doing. But just looking at the data,
businesses are absorbing Bitcoin at 4x
the rate than it's currently being
mined. Meaning that there's only only
this many Bitcoin being mined into
existence each day. And on average,
there's four times the amount being
bought each day by Bitcoin treasury
companies, conventional businesses,
funds, and ETFs, governments. Not that
we can't dip lower dayto-day, but over
time price has to go up. CIO of Bitwise,
Matt Hogan, perfectly explains what's
happening. So last year, ETFs bought
half a million Bitcoin. Again, remember
the Bitcoin network only produced
165,000 Bitcoin. So it bought three
times the total supply. Corporations
bought 250,000 Bitcoin. Governments, I
think this year, could buy a couple
hundred thousand Bitcoin. So, I think if
you look at those three sources, I think
they'll buy more than a million Bitcoin
this year. And where is it going to come
from? The only place it can come from is
people who already hold Bitcoin. The
only way they will sell is if the price
goes up. That's why I'm so bullish on
the
And just look what happened when the
gold ETF was approved in 2004 for the
very first time ever. The gold price
essentially went up only for the next 9
years. Yes, there were corrections along
the way. That's healthy. But gold could
be purchased in an ETF rapper for the
very first time in history, and the
demand from Wall Street and average
people was insatiable. The Bitcoin ETF
got approved in 2024 for the very first
time in history. We've had 1.5 years of
up, meaning it's like we're right here.
You do not want to tell your grandkids
that you are watching altcoin daily and
you lived through one of the biggest
technological money revolutions in
history, an evolution of money and you
did not accumulate your piece of digital
gold. So $400 of my $1,000 goes directly
into Bitcoin. My next $200 goes directly
into Ethereum. If Bitcoin is digital
decentralized gold, then Ethereum is a
decentralized app store, meaning you can
build on it. stable coins, decentralized
games. Ethereum is based on the numbers
the world's most trusted blockchain for
digital assets. Again, just look at the
data. It has on average over 15 million
daily transactions. It has the most
stable coins built on them. And in this
exclusive clip, I know we just shared
with you a piece of this the other day,
but this video just makes me want to own
Ethereum. Ethereum uh differs from
Bitcoin. Actually, Bitcoin, Ethereum was
initially a fork of Bitcoin by the way,
but with a added feature, which is smart
contracts. So, what they wanted to do on
Ethereum was to say, let's use
blockchain technology not just to store
value uh but now to store information.
Ethereum is is as a smart contract
platform actually also has something
called the EVM, Ethereum virtual
machine. So you can run entire programs
and conditional contracts on Ethereum.
Um, and Ethereum itself is 100%
reliable. It has not had a single moment
of downtime since inception. It's one of
the few blockchains that has never been
down. Um, and then if you needed to do
more things on Ethereum, you can build
what they call layer twos on top of it.
So Ethereum is a essentially uh
infrastructure that now is is catching
the attention of two industries.
The first is the financial sector. Um
the stable coins became really viral
sorry a breakaway product for crypto and
that's like the chat GPT moment. You
know there's $250 billion worth of
stable coins. The vast majority of those
are minted on Ethereum.
Then the Genius Act was passed by this
administration and the Cong this
Congress and that greenlighted the
proliferation of stable coins onto the
blockchain. So banks are now building
stable coin products that Treasury
Secretary of Besson thinks that could
get to 4 trillion. That's exponential
growth
burning gas on Ethereum. And then we
have project crypto which is the SEC
building uh wanting Wall Street to build
on the blockchain. Now all that
collectively
for from a Wall Street pers perspective
is like 1971
for the dollar. And what I mean by that
is in 1971 the the dollar went off the
gold standard. So in 1971 the dollar
became synthetic and gold was what
people bought as a hedge against that
synthetic dollar. So you had gold as a
as the trade and that would be the
Bitcoin equivalent.
But actually the synthetic dollar is
what created the rails for Wall Street
to build all their future products. The
futures, curves, derivatives were all
because the dollar was a synthetic
product. If if every if the dollar was
backed by gold, Wall Street would be
still a very small business. Well, Wall
Street now is going to be building its
entire infrastructure onto the
blockchain and the blockchain they're
choosing is Ethereum. So, this is the
1971 moment where Wall Street is
essentially capitalizing
on tokenizing the entire world onto a
blockchain. That's a huge opportunity.
So, $400 out of a,000 into Bitcoin, $200
into Ethereum. My next $100 for me goes
into Solana. What's interesting is while
Solana is also a smart contract
platform, meaning it's an Ethereum
competitor, Solana transactions are
cheaper, they're faster, and they're a
better user experience. Sort of like the
Apple of blockchains. And while Ethereum
is dominating in stable coins, there's
no question Solana is leading the charge
and dominating in tokenizing real world
assets. The total value of tokenized
realworld assets, meaning real assets,
RWAS, on Solana, has surpassed 500
million, a new all-time high. Also, in
this resurfaced clip, the cryptozar of
the United States, David Sachs, works
with Trump before he got appointed
Cryptozar explains that all his buddies
in Silicon Valley are rooting for
Solana, although he had to divest. It's
an Ethereum competitor basically for you
know smart contract platform and there's
a lot of people I'd say smart money in
Silicon Valley who are betting on a
flipping
where Salana could ultimately overtake
Ethereum as the preferred platform.
And again if you want to stay up todate
on all the coins mentioned in today's
video click subscribe. The minute any of
these coins make fundamental big news I
will make a video. I will report to you.
And this gives you an edge as an
investor because you stay in the no. So
in my $1,000 crypto portfolio, I have
$400 into Bitcoin, $200 into Ethereum,
$100 into Solana, and now I have $300
remaining. And this is where it gets
fun. By the way, anybody looking to buy,
sell, or trade any of these coins, I
want to recommend exchange partner WEX.
Often the smaller coins are not found on
the bigger exchanges. So for me, WEX,
you'd go over to markets or you'd go
over to futures to trade. This is where
also you can see all the charts. But we
go over to markets and you see all the
different coins offered. Bitcoin,
Ethereum, Solana, tons and tons of coins
offered. And for a limited time, if
you're trading crypto, use code altcoin
and get a 100% position airdrop.
Meaning, if you put in $500, they give
you $500 to trade in a position airdrop.
link down below. So, I have $300 left.
This is where I choose to invest in
higher risk altcoins, which are also
potentially higher reward, but also with
money I'm willing to lose. With my final
$300, I will take $200, $200, and invest
in a basket of either made in America or
blue chip DeFi altcoins. So, coins that
fit those trends because I like to
invest in trends and made in America and
DeFi, huge trends into 2026. XRP has
huge potential into 2026. It's used by
the banking system.
Okay, so Ripple actually was the second
largest coin prior to the SEC's
investigation of them. They did this
really weird lawsuit against them. Um,
and basically the Ripple is going to be
the track that everything's going to be
running on in the future. So, they
created their own stable coin right now.
Okay. And uh Bank of America, like I
said, they were doing 100% of their
internal transactions.
Chain link as well hits the made in
America trend, hits the DeFi trend.
Chain link is working with many layer
ones, meaning who knows if Ethereum or
Solana or Avalanche will win. Chainlink
is working with all of them.
Chainlink is DeFi infrastructure.
Chainlink is the set of standards and
the the infrastructure and services that
allow you to build reliable stable coins
that allow you to move those stable
coins reliably across chains.
Also, Cardano hits this trend. They do
they are unlocking Bitcoin DeFi which
will be huge. On the other hand, they
give us massive competitive advantages
when you look at Bitcoin DeFi because
now Bitcoin wants to do DeFi and it's a
lot easier to write UTXO smart contracts
on Cardano than it is uh to write those
on Ethereum or Salana.
Also, Hyperlid hits the DeFi trend.
Over the last two years, we've spent a
lot of time looking at the exchanges and
coins. We've had many opportunities and
the first one that we've really
responded to was Hyperlid and Hype. Both
David and I spent a lot of time looking
into not just the coin but the exchange
the advantages it has and it is like we
came away absolutely gobsmacked that
there was so little attention.
Ando also hitting two major trends made
in America one tokenization and DeFi
another. They are working with
BlackRock. They are backed by Coinbase.
If you believe tokenization is only
getting bigger you want to look at. So
again, $200 would go into made in
America coins/defi coins. And then my
final $100 I would get super
speculative. I would take a big risk.
I'd look at Ethereum layer 2's. Kodi is
the only Ethereum layer 2 focused on
privacy. I'd invest in AI. Bitensor is
the blue chip AI altcoin. Do not sleep
on it. I'm an ambassador to Supra. This
is like a Salana or a SU killer. highly
speculative but high- risk, highreward.
Comment down below which coin you have
the most belief in, how you would
allocate $1,000 in crypto. Let's all
check the comment section together. And
