[0:00] United States will lose this war which
[0:02] will forever change the global order.
[0:05] >> Some sort of explosion around Abu Dhabi.
[0:07] >> What happens if AI works so well that it
[0:09] hollows out the white collar economy?
[0:11] Making sure the US dollar remains the
[0:12] global reserve currency and isn't
[0:13] replaced by a Chinese central bank
[0:15] digital currency. It would be disaster
[0:16] for America if that were to happen.
[0:18] >> Now, as most of you know, I've made
[0:19] millions of dollars in crypto and I
[0:22] believe the next real opportunity is
[0:24] being built right now. This is because
[0:26] we are approaching the same window that
[0:27] we see every few years where markets
[0:30] outside of crypto end up rallying and
[0:32] crypto itself does the opposite. It goes
[0:34] down. This kind of setup that I'm seeing
[0:36] right now is the same exact conditions
[0:38] that help me to find plays like a drum
[0:40] at under 10 cents and turn that into
[0:42] multiple millions of dollars shortly
[0:44] after. As most of you all know in the
[0:46] last few months a lot of things have
[0:48] happened in the market. Gold has had its
[0:50] run. AI stocks have been going up. And
[0:52] this is where the biggest opportunity
[0:54] where we have an edge in starts to open
[0:56] up. All right, so in this video real
[0:57] quick, we're going to go over my Bitcoin
[0:59] price prediction. This isn't just going
[1:00] to be where I think Bitcoin's going to
[1:02] go. I'm going to talk about the bottom,
[1:04] the top, how long it's going to take,
[1:05] and why. Afterwards, I'll go over all
[1:07] the most important upcoming triggers and
[1:10] catalysts that you need to know about
[1:11] for this year. Then towards the end of
[1:13] the video, I'm going to go over exactly
[1:14] how I'm investing in 2026 to make
[1:17] millions once again. and you guys can
[1:19] copy my exact same playbook and
[1:21] framework so that you're able to do the
[1:23] same yourself. All right, so let's get
[1:25] started. Before we talk about Bitcoin's
[1:27] price and anything, we need to just do a
[1:29] real quick recap because it's been like
[1:31] 5 months since I last uploaded on
[1:33] YouTube, and we need to have some
[1:34] context on knowing where we are in this
[1:36] market before we can talk about what's
[1:38] coming up next. So, let's rewind.
[1:42] Since October and November, markets have
[1:45] been brutal. Now, personally for me at
[1:46] the time, I was optimistic just like
[1:48] most people in the market was. This is
[1:50] because Bitcoin had actually broke its
[1:51] all-time high. And if you look at every
[1:53] single previous moment when Bitcoin
[1:55] breaks its all-time high, we usually see
[1:58] the same things play out where alts
[2:00] begin to run, meme coins go parabolic,
[2:02] and we see the flow of money just start
[2:04] flowing. Now, this time was different.
[2:05] When Bitcoin broke its all-time high
[2:07] towards the end of last year, crypto
[2:09] pretty much topped out. Alts did end up
[2:11] running for a little bit, but it wasn't
[2:13] like anything we've seen in the past.
[2:15] Now, the main thesis at the time and the
[2:16] main thesis for myself was everything
[2:18] being based off of interest rate cuts.
[2:21] Historically, the time when Bitcoin and
[2:23] alts really begin to move is always
[2:25] following a interest rate cut. This is
[2:27] one of the reasons why in 2021 we had
[2:29] such a great cycle. Now, there are many
[2:31] different conditions outside of that
[2:32] pandemic, extra stimulus, but interest
[2:35] rates were at an all-time low. This
[2:37] pretty much allowed for all the money
[2:38] being made in stock markets and other
[2:40] assets to then flow into crypto. Now,
[2:42] oftentimes when you see something even
[2:44] like gold and silver running, it's never
[2:46] because of just one reason. It's not
[2:47] because one major bank is buying. It's
[2:49] not because everyone is afraid that
[2:51] inflation is going to get so bad or that
[2:52] the end of the world is coming near.
[2:54] It's usually for a variety of many
[2:57] different confluences that create that
[2:59] perfect storm. So, pretty much our
[3:00] thesis on the market for the next leg
[3:02] up, at least having a little bit of a
[3:03] mini cycle at the end of Q4, maybe
[3:06] starting Q1, got invalidated. That's
[3:08] when we start to see risk on assets like
[3:10] everything in crypto. And with the price
[3:12] action of Bitcoin begin to unravel at
[3:14] this time crypto Twitter sentiment got
[3:16] really bearish. A lot of people started
[3:18] to lose their money. People were
[3:19] capitulating and most people were now in
[3:22] draw down where their positions were in
[3:23] the red. Now there have been previous
[3:25] cycles where interest rate cuts didn't
[3:27] get slashed and crypto actually still
[3:29] rallied up. Prior to 2021, we've seen
[3:32] interest rates actually hold levels, but
[3:34] we've still experienced different market
[3:36] cycles. Even prior to 2025, we saw that
[3:39] on different occasions. Look, unlike the
[3:41] stock market, you guys should know at
[3:43] this point by now, crypto is really
[3:45] driven by speculation and hype. Other
[3:47] markets have true inherent value,
[3:49] stocks, they're basing it off of
[3:51] earnings, real company performance. Gold
[3:54] is an asset. It's something that's
[3:55] tangible. There's a finite supply of it.
[3:57] Crypto, because of the nature of how
[3:59] it's been created, where it's
[4:01] permissionless, no one can come in and
[4:02] audit it. The SEC is not going to come
[4:04] into a crypto project and ensure that
[4:06] the developers are all doing what
[4:07] they're supposed to do with their funds.
[4:09] This means that markets generally will
[4:12] be even more irrational than any other
[4:14] markets that exist. Now, generally, that
[4:17] kind of news sucks. If you're in a
[4:19] market that's fully irrational, driven
[4:21] by hype and speculation only, why even
[4:24] participate? Well, this is the whole
[4:26] dilemma of the double-edged sword, what
[4:27] crypto actually is. I think it's
[4:29] incredibly foolish for anyone to get
[4:31] into crypto and to treat it like it's
[4:33] the same type of market when you're
[4:35] investing into stocks or something even
[4:37] more conservative than that. I mean
[4:38] nowadays you can invest into anything.
[4:40] Pokémon cards, One Piece cards, still
[4:42] watches and cars, they're starting to
[4:43] appreciate a bit in value. Crypto is
[4:45] going to be the only market that I
[4:47] believe in where you experience true
[4:48] high risk and high reward. That high
[4:50] reward does not come without the risk.
[4:53] This is a market where it is truly the
[4:55] wild wild west. Things can always go to
[4:57] zero. But my silver lining and my true
[5:00] conviction holds in the statement here
[5:02] that I believe crypto is never going to
[5:04] disappear. We're going to see cycles as
[5:06] we have in the last four or five years
[5:09] or more. But ultimately, Bitcoin is
[5:12] eventually going to be a million dollars
[5:13] in our lifetime. Eventually, we're going
[5:15] to see other altcoins continuing to make
[5:16] new floors and go higher and higher as
[5:19] the cycle progresses. Keep in mind, the
[5:21] stock market has been around not for 100
[5:22] years, 200 years, 300 years. It's been
[5:24] around literally for 400 years, guys.
[5:26] And cryptocurrency has only been around
[5:28] since the launch of Bitcoin in January
[5:30] 2009. This makes it about 16 years old.
[5:32] When you compare a 400-year-old market
[5:35] versus a 16-year-old market, you are
[5:37] going to see massive fluctuations in the
[5:40] beginning. You are going to see cycles
[5:41] that go up and go down. And when you
[5:43] combine that with the fact we talked
[5:44] about permissionless systems, we talked
[5:46] about a market where it's based on
[5:48] trust. And if you know a thing or two
[5:50] about trust and strangers, those two
[5:52] things, it's like uh water and oil. They
[5:54] don't mix. So, with all that said, where
[5:56] are we now? Well, the way that we've
[5:57] been able to make tens of millions of
[5:59] dollars investing into crypto is by
[6:01] identifying early trends and narratives
[6:03] in this market. Now, you can apply the
[6:05] same thing towards any market that you
[6:07] want to participate in, but I believe
[6:08] crypto is infinitely better only because
[6:11] you're able to have a much stronger
[6:12] definitive edge and you're not competing
[6:14] against players who have inside
[6:16] information, politicians, quant data,
[6:19] Wall Street, hedge funds. Just think
[6:22] about yourself entering a Call of Duty
[6:23] lobby. and you just turn on the game
[6:25] console for the first time and all of a
[6:26] sudden you're playing against people who
[6:28] have been sweating their butt off in
[6:30] this game for the last 5 to 10 years.
[6:31] The beauty about crypto is that because
[6:33] it's an early market, you reap what you
[6:35] sow. What I mean by that is if you
[6:37] started to put in the work throughout
[6:39] many different bare markets, to learn
[6:40] the tech, to learn the narratives, to
[6:42] understand why things move up, and from
[6:44] there to identify how you want to make
[6:47] money from the market shortly after
[6:48] that, all you got to do is wait for
[6:49] right conditions to return. and you're
[6:51] going to see more exponential returns
[6:53] than you would participating then in any
[6:55] other market. Now, at least that's how I
[6:57] thought for a while. My perspective is
[7:00] starting to change a bit. Maybe this is
[7:01] because I literally have a son that's
[7:03] going to be born in the next day or so,
[7:05] and I'm going from the young buck Brian
[7:07] Jung, credit card Brian that most y'all
[7:09] know me for to now dad mode Brian Jung,
[7:11] which is also really it it is crazy. And
[7:13] I care a lot more about diversity. But
[7:15] it's also because in the last 6 to 12
[7:17] months, while crypto has been trading
[7:19] sideways, chopping within this range or
[7:22] even going down at times, we've still
[7:24] been seeing some other stocks going up.
[7:26] All right, so let's talk about Bitcoin
[7:27] price action. Let's talk about where we
[7:29] are in the market. Let me share with you
[7:31] how I think things are going to play out
[7:32] and why. The most important thing you
[7:34] want to look out for are significant
[7:36] levels when it comes to crypto. As I've
[7:38] said for many, many years, significant
[7:39] levels are often psychological levels
[7:42] that pretty much everyone's looking at.
[7:43] Crypto makes it easy because it's
[7:45] usually round numbers or you can just
[7:48] find higher highs or higher lows or
[7:50] significant support levels that were
[7:52] established in previous market cycles.
[7:55] At the time of filming this video, we
[7:56] are on a very high time frame. Okay,
[7:58] this is pretty much zooming us out since
[8:01] 2019. We have lost the last support
[8:03] level. I know there are some Fibonacci
[8:05] gurus and all these tools. I think the
[8:07] most important things that you guys can
[8:08] look at if you're not a TA expert, it's
[8:10] simply just moving averages, your
[8:12] volume, and also your RSI. I think those
[8:15] three you can cook. So, pretty much
[8:16] while markets have been going down, I
[8:18] know a lot of people were just super
[8:21] excited to buy up some of these dips
[8:23] here. The one thing you guys need to
[8:25] realize when it comes to these markets
[8:26] is that you're not going to see a
[8:27] V-shaped recovery. At the time of
[8:29] filming this video, with Bitcoin losing
[8:31] its trend, we are not in this uptrend
[8:33] market structure. That means we're not
[8:35] in a bull run. And if you want to say
[8:36] so, yes, we are in a bare market. I know
[8:38] that word freaks people out, but you got
[8:41] to realize that a bare market is the
[8:43] blessings of a golden opportunity for
[8:45] you to be able to buy in at a discount.
[8:48] So, personally for me right now, I'm
[8:50] still not buying at these levels. I
[8:51] expect us to go lower. Now, do I think
[8:53] we can hit $31,000 or even $49,000? I
[8:56] don't know. But if we do get anything
[8:58] within this range, guys, $40,000 to
[9:00] $30,000, that is going to be a massive
[9:03] fire cell. Now, the reason why I believe
[9:05] $4 to $30,000 is a huge buying
[9:07] opportunity is because I believe going
[9:09] into 2028 for the next Bitcoin having we
[9:12] are going to see Bitcoin hit anywhere
[9:14] from $180,000
[9:16] to upwards of $250,000.
[9:18] Zooming out just a little bit more. I
[9:20] mean, that's putting us right in this
[9:21] box here. Just a few months ago, JP
[9:23] Morgan also stated that they believe
[9:25] Bitcoin could rocket to $170,000 in the
[9:28] coming months. When you have some of the
[9:29] biggest banks in the world that are
[9:30] making bold price predictions and
[9:32] getting more data than retail has access
[9:34] to, I tend to heir on the side that
[9:37] smart money usually knows the direction
[9:39] of where things can go. But guys, let's
[9:41] not just rely on the biggest bank. Let's
[9:43] not rely on other people because
[9:45] institutions, price predictions, often
[9:47] times when you involve that and then the
[9:49] speculative market of what crypto is,
[9:51] it's usually just trying to create
[9:54] additional hype, trying to get people
[9:55] more excited. And we want to just look
[9:57] through all that crap. We want to cut
[9:59] through the noise and just look at
[10:01] previous patterns and where we can make
[10:03] a reasonable hypothesis on this market
[10:06] with datadriven facts. So, Bitcoin
[10:09] follows a 4-year having cycle. Every
[10:11] cycle peaks 12 to 18 months post having,
[10:13] then there's often a 12-month
[10:15] correction. Regardless on if you believe
[10:17] in the 4-year cycle or not, I truly
[10:19] believe that we just get massive buy the
[10:21] rumor, sell the news events. And I also
[10:23] believe that we get moments where heavy
[10:25] holders of this asset. They take their
[10:27] profits. They wait till things bottom
[10:29] out. And this is just how a market like
[10:31] this moves. I got a lot of theories.
[10:33] We're not going to go into it in this
[10:35] video. I've talked about it many times
[10:36] in some of our videos that have ripped
[10:38] millions of views. Let me just give you
[10:39] at least the main data point on why I
[10:42] believe we are going to see the trend
[10:43] play out the way it will. So 2017, we
[10:46] actually had the peak of Bitcoin.
[10:47] Following that, 363 days later, we had
[10:50] the bottom. 2021, we had the peak. We
[10:52] bought it about 376 days later. Every
[10:55] single one of those times when we went
[10:57] from peak to bottom, we have experienced
[10:59] about an 80% draw down. In 2013, it was
[11:02] 86%. In 2017, it was 84%. In 2021, that
[11:07] draw down was 78%. If we take the draw
[11:10] down of $126,000, which was our previous
[11:13] all-time high, say we draw down 70 to
[11:15] 75%, that math would give us $30,000 to
[11:19] $38,000 Bitcoin. Now, if we saw a 50 to
[11:23] 60% draw down because every cycle is
[11:25] different, as everyone says, this time
[11:27] is different. That would give us a
[11:28] $50,000 to $63,000 Bitcoin. At the time
[11:32] of filming this video, Bitcoin is at 64
[11:34] to $65,000.
[11:36] Anything under $60,000 is where I am
[11:39] interested in buying up Bitcoin and
[11:41] dollar cost averaging into the market.
[11:43] Look, there are going to be millions of
[11:45] other market participants who are eyeing
[11:47] to buy up the exact point of the bottom.
[11:49] Instead of trying to stress yourself out
[11:51] in doing that, the best course of action
[11:53] for 90% of people who are watching these
[11:56] videos is to simply just dollar cost
[11:58] average, have enough firepower, know how
[12:00] much expenses is leaving your wallets,
[12:03] know how much income is coming into your
[12:05] wallets, cutting down on the aloe set. I
[12:08] know y'all be crazy about that these
[12:09] days. Cutting down on reckless
[12:11] unnecessary spending and simply just
[12:14] accumulating Bitcoin consistently during
[12:17] this time. All right. So, here's what I
[12:19] think would happen. All right. So,
[12:21] markets are just going to be confused
[12:22] for a little bit. Maybe in May, maybe
[12:25] this could be the earliest point where
[12:27] we start to see the bottom of Bitcoin.
[12:30] But if there's some news, you know, AI
[12:32] is now coming for even my job, your job,
[12:35] your kids' job, and we're about to be
[12:36] working for AI in 5 years, man. I mean,
[12:40] that's when we're going to start to see
[12:41] more pain. Now, these are the times
[12:44] where no one's going to want to invest.
[12:46] Everyone's going to be scared. Maybe we
[12:48] find out who Satoshi Nakamoto really is.
[12:50] Maybe we find out that quantum
[12:51] computing, yeah, that that's going to
[12:52] take over crypto and we're all really
[12:54] cooked. But this is really the bottom
[12:57] where you want to identify and start
[13:00] buying positions. Look, financial
[13:02] advice, non financial advice, whatever.
[13:04] Okay, I have conviction on this level
[13:06] here. It's just a matter of not if we're
[13:08] going to see it. Easiest thing you can
[13:09] do is just anytime we're under $60,000,
[13:12] this whole gap, you can begin to just
[13:14] DCA. All right. From here, I believe
[13:16] even if we see the markets go down, we
[13:18] could end up seeing markets stay low
[13:20] until we are in the month of October.
[13:23] Okay, this is for a few reasons. I'll
[13:24] talk about those upcoming catalysts and
[13:26] those key triggers in just a little bit.
[13:28] But before we do, October, I believe
[13:30] that's when we're going to see the
[13:31] bottom. I believe October will mark the
[13:33] bottom. From here, we begin to start
[13:35] rallying by January. By the time we get
[13:38] into the new year, at this point, the
[13:40] trend should be confirmed. we should
[13:42] have some kind of reversal where we can
[13:45] identify that the bottom was in. And you
[13:47] don't always have to time things right
[13:48] at the bottom, but if you're able to at
[13:50] least get in at this point or this point
[13:51] or this point and capitalize before the
[13:54] rest of the market gets to the target of
[13:57] say conservatively like 180,000 160,000
[14:00] if you want to be really conservative or
[14:02] if you want to be cracked out of your
[14:04] head like some of these financial
[14:05] analysts are, you got your quarter
[14:06] million price target for Bitcoin going
[14:08] into 2028. The most important thing
[14:10] though is the year of 2027 should be
[14:14] incredibly bullish for crypto. This is
[14:17] the jungunity. This is the golden
[14:19] opportunity that you should be ready
[14:22] for. You should have firepower for and
[14:24] for the year of 2026, whatever it holds.
[14:27] This is where you should be accumulating
[14:29] dollar cost averaging, making sure that
[14:31] you're ahead of all the trends, making
[14:32] sure you know what's happening in the
[14:34] market. If you want to get into trading
[14:35] and understand how to build your own
[14:37] system, get into trading futures at some
[14:40] point, this is the time to learn. Not
[14:42] when 2027 comes around and everyone's
[14:46] making money already. NFTs are flying
[14:47] again and you're scrambling around like
[14:49] you've done it every other cycle where
[14:51] you've always roundt because you got too
[14:53] greedy. No, start now. And this is the
[14:55] video where I really hope it's the
[14:56] wakeup call. Look, I've made my millions
[14:58] and I am going to make millions more
[15:00] again in the market. rest assured, but I
[15:02] want you guys to do the same alongside
[15:04] with me during this journey. All right,
[15:05] so why am I so bullish on October being
[15:08] the time we turn around? Well, October
[15:09] is going to mark pretty much the 1year
[15:12] time frame that we saw since Bitcoin had
[15:14] hit its all-time high. Now, from October
[15:17] into November is going to be the time
[15:18] where we also see midterm elections
[15:20] coming around. It's also more than
[15:22] likely that we already get a rate cut
[15:24] happening in June. This is still a bit
[15:26] speculative. We're not 100% sure. It's
[15:28] like 40% odds right now. But definitely
[15:31] from June going into Q4, we should at
[15:33] least expect to see one, two, or maybe
[15:36] three different rate cuts, which are
[15:38] true liquidity events that do eventually
[15:40] flow back into crypto. So FOMC dates
[15:42] this upcoming year. We have March 17th,
[15:45] April 28th, June 16th, July 28th,
[15:47] September 15th, October 27th, and then
[15:50] December 8th. Those are a lot of
[15:51] opportunities for us to get those
[15:52] interest rate cuts and we just need to
[15:54] hit on a few of them for us to start
[15:55] seeing one of the confluences of this
[15:58] massive storm once again to brew. With
[16:00] PAL also coming out of office on May
[16:02] 15th and us getting Kevin Worsh, it's
[16:04] going to make for an interesting time.
[16:05] So since the 1950, the average one-year
[16:08] return following midterms has been about
[16:10] 15.4%. That's actually twice the return
[16:13] of all other years. And historically,
[16:15] it's great for markets. Now, there are
[16:17] three reasons for this. Number one, you
[16:19] get policy certainty. There's nothing
[16:21] that shakes up the market more than all
[16:22] this policy and all these politics and
[16:25] people arguing and markets just not
[16:28] knowing what's going to happen next.
[16:30] Well, once the election is over and the
[16:31] legislative agenda gets locked in for
[16:33] another 2 years, you get certainty.
[16:35] Second, the president's party often
[16:38] times always loses their seat, which
[16:40] means we see even more gridlocks. Now
[16:42] gridlocks and undecisiveness is not
[16:44] great for you know developing an amazing
[16:47] country that we live in today in the US
[16:49] but it is good for the markets. The
[16:51] reason is if there isn't an agreement
[16:53] being made the markets cannot be
[16:55] surprised. Less surprise means we have
[16:58] less spending which means we have more
[17:00] market confidence. You need confidence
[17:01] for people to start feeling good and
[17:03] euphoric and that's when bull runs turn
[17:05] on. Third and this is the big one.
[17:07] Presidents will oftent times frontload
[17:10] all the pain in year 1 and two and then
[17:13] juice the economy up for year three and
[17:15] four so that when they're up for
[17:17] reelection they have their best odds.
[17:19] We've seen many presidents follow this
[17:20] strategy in the past and Trump is no
[17:22] exception to that. Now, those are your
[17:24] main key triggers and catalysts to be on
[17:26] the lookout for interest rate cuts,
[17:28] Bitcoin having serving as the next new
[17:30] narrative for when things start to
[17:32] rally. Midterms, and there's going to be
[17:34] some things in between. You want to look
[17:35] out for war developments. Okay, I think
[17:38] a lot of people are underestimating what
[17:40] is happening in Iran. And there is still
[17:42] a very strong possibility that by the
[17:44] time this video is up, we actually see
[17:46] the Iran war continue again. When we get
[17:49] announcements that another war happens,
[17:51] we are going to see a massive dip in the
[17:53] market. This might be what actually
[17:54] helps us to see Bitcoin slide under
[17:56] $50,000. But like I said, anytime you
[17:59] see additional blood, just know that
[18:00] when you're able to zoom out even more,
[18:03] you can see this as a great opportunity
[18:05] to buy up the dip. Just the big thing is
[18:07] guys, don't buy up the dip mindlessly.
[18:09] So many people just buy up the dip
[18:11] thinking they're a genius when you do
[18:14] not see instant recoveries. The only
[18:16] time that strategy works where you just
[18:19] buy up the dip is when you're already in
[18:21] an uptrending market structure. This
[18:23] means we're already in a bull run. In
[18:25] those moments, yes, when we get a dip,
[18:27] buy it because things are already going
[18:29] to bounce and go back up, but we are in
[18:31] a downtrending market. When you buy up
[18:33] those dips, the blood can bleed out
[18:35] more. And it's a concept I know where if
[18:37] you're investing for the next 5 to 10
[18:39] years, it doesn't matter. But a lot of
[18:41] people don't know the difference between
[18:43] time frames, their risk tolerance. They
[18:45] just think they're a genius for buying
[18:47] up the dip because they're the
[18:48] courageous one when everyone is afraid.
[18:50] But there's a reason why people are
[18:51] afraid during these times. All right, so
[18:53] with all of that said, how am I
[18:55] investing in this upcoming year? What am
[18:57] I going to do different? How am I really
[18:59] going to make all this money once more?
[19:01] Well, I was skeptical about it a few
[19:02] years ago until I saw it happen. For any
[19:04] of the receipts that you guys might
[19:06] need, we have tons and tons of publicly
[19:09] published YouTube videos that we've made
[19:11] over the last 2 3 years. And I also have
[19:13] all my live streams and Discord updates
[19:15] that I post in Kaizen where my community
[19:18] has been able to follow along on all the
[19:20] plays that have helped us make a lot of
[19:22] money. So I'm not saying this over and
[19:24] over again to to my own horn. Honestly,
[19:26] in those moments, it was crazy, but it
[19:28] never felt like it's because I was so
[19:30] smart. It was simply because I trusted
[19:32] in the system. I had faith in God and I
[19:34] put in the work. I put my head down and
[19:36] I just continued to research and have
[19:37] conviction even in the moments when
[19:39] nobody else did. All right, so here's
[19:41] what I'm going to do this year. I am
[19:42] going to be diversifying a good bit of
[19:44] my portfolio into stocks. In the last
[19:46] year, I've invested millions of dollars
[19:48] of what I've made back into the markets.
[19:50] I've got my exposure in private markets,
[19:53] AI, robotics, in companies that are
[19:55] going to IPO soon for the same reason
[19:57] why I mentioned earlier in this video
[19:58] why I like stocks. It's mainly because
[20:00] even if crypto happens to go down more
[20:02] or prediction and thesis on crypto gets
[20:05] invalidated once more, because I've been
[20:07] wrong plenty of times, guys, in the
[20:08] past, I could be wrong again about where
[20:10] we head in the future. But as long as
[20:12] you manage your risk, which is something
[20:14] that I've learned to do the hard way
[20:15] over the years after nearly almost
[20:17] losing everything after the 2021 cycle,
[20:20] I know that as long as you're able to
[20:21] size up in the right early narratives
[20:23] and the right plays, and you don't go
[20:25] completely, DJ, those bigger winners
[20:27] will often times make up for the losers
[20:29] that you have. That's ultimately the
[20:31] goal. You're not going to hit on
[20:32] everything. You're not going to always
[20:33] bat and hit a home run. Nobody in the
[20:36] world can. But as long as you hit a few
[20:38] of those home runs, and they are truly
[20:40] home runs that are flying to the stars,
[20:42] your losses become a very small fraction
[20:45] in the grand scheme of the growth of
[20:47] your portfolio. I'm going to be making
[20:48] some more videos on my favorite plays
[20:50] within the stock market. But there are
[20:52] some very juicy narratives that I think
[20:54] over the next 5 to 10 years are going to
[20:56] create true generational wealth. The
[20:58] problem with stocks is a lot of times
[21:00] that market moves a lot slower than
[21:02] crypto does. But because of the
[21:04] advancements we're seeing in AI, the
[21:06] money that's flowing into defense
[21:07] contracts, the growth in the health
[21:09] industry, peptides, GLP1, I mean, things
[21:11] that I'm really bullish on, nuclear
[21:14] energy drones defense software
[21:17] there's an ocean that is already filled
[21:19] with some of the biggest sharks eating
[21:21] everyone up. But the difference between
[21:23] stocks and crypto is that the ocean in
[21:24] crypto, it's like a little kiddie pool.
[21:26] Sometimes it feels small. And that could
[21:28] also be your edge. But the beauty about
[21:30] stocks is that the ocean is a lot
[21:32] bigger. It's a lot more evergreen. And
[21:34] regardless of how many megalodons are in
[21:36] there, as long as you get still a small
[21:38] fraction and you don't get greedy, you
[21:40] can still balance a portfolio and grow
[21:42] that over time. Now, that's not to say
[21:44] you're not going to get like 10 20 xers
[21:46] in the stock market. That still happens.
[21:48] We are going to see more and more of
[21:50] that happen over the next coming years.
[21:52] This is where I think it's important for
[21:53] anyone who's watching, if you're just
[21:55] allin on crypto, this is the time where
[21:57] I really want to encourage you to be
[21:58] open-minded and to also make sure that
[22:01] just like I am, consider diversifying
[22:03] properly. So last year, I made $250,000
[22:05] just playing those preo stocks. That was
[22:08] the one of the best riskreward
[22:09] asymmetric opportunities ever because I
[22:11] was buying in preipo shares and they
[22:13] were getting launched at 2, three, four,
[22:16] 5x what your preipo share qualifications
[22:19] were. Those moments don't happen all the
[22:21] time. It is actually pretty rare, but it
[22:23] does come around. And I think in this
[22:25] moment, we're going to start seeing it
[22:26] with the AI and prediction markets.
[22:29] Right now, a lot of people are using AI
[22:30] in a variety of different ways, but
[22:32] don't dismiss, don't sleep on the fact
[22:34] that AI can outwork humans. It can
[22:37] outsmart us with the research. And I
[22:39] believe we are going to see a future
[22:40] where there are going to be AI agents
[22:43] that are able to help you as a trader or
[22:45] investor make more money than a wealth
[22:47] fund manager or someone who manages your
[22:50] finances could. We're still a little bit
[22:52] early, but give it some time and I bet
[22:54] you we're going to start seeing more
[22:55] headlines, more stories of how someone
[22:56] was able to make X amount using AI or
[22:59] how their AI agent made them a million
[23:01] dollars investing for them. I remember 5
[23:03] to 10 years ago was a trend to get your
[23:05] goldfish to choose what stocks you're
[23:07] going to buy it for. oftentimes that
[23:09] still outperformed humans. Within the
[23:11] next year, be on the lookout for AI. I'm
[23:13] telling y'all that and markets like
[23:15] prediction markets where inside trading
[23:16] is becoming even more easier than ever
[23:19] before. There are going to be a lot of
[23:21] moments where you can seize the
[23:23] opportunity. I just hope that you guys,
[23:24] whatever you all do, do it ethically,
[23:26] but keep an open mind because truly the
[23:29] more creative you can get, the more
[23:30] adaptable that you learn to be, just
[23:32] like we've seen many times before, those
[23:35] people will be rewarded. Now, although
[23:36] long-term I'm bullish on gold and
[23:39] silver, these are assets that have
[23:41] already broken an all-time high. Now, if
[23:43] you're a high lever trader, I think you
[23:44] could still do well there. If you're
[23:46] trying to invest for the next 10 to 20
[23:47] years and you want to diversify into
[23:49] that, that's fine. But I have no
[23:51] interest in buying gold and silver at
[23:52] these levels. I don't see asymmetric
[23:54] upside there. I see asymmetric upside in
[23:56] pretty much any asset that is down 50,
[23:59] 60, 70, 80% from where it was before.
[24:02] Crypto, it's on its way of being there.
[24:04] There are other individual stocks that I
[24:06] like like Robin Hood. It's been going
[24:08] down ever since it hit its all-time
[24:09] high. Those are going to be your biggest
[24:11] winners. Not often the ones where you're
[24:13] top blasting when the markets are
[24:14] trading within a range, but it's the
[24:16] ones where fundamentally you have
[24:18] conviction in that you know is strong
[24:19] that will continue to build over the
[24:21] next 3 five plus years and that you can
[24:24] load up heavily on with a good enough
[24:26] diversified split. You can expect to see
[24:28] a four to 5x on the table. It's not out
[24:30] of the picture. I mean look at SanDisk.
[24:32] Look at plenty of these AI stocks that
[24:35] have gone up even more than that in the
[24:37] last one year. If you're starting out
[24:39] with $200 to $300,000 and you hit a 4 to
[24:42] 5x, you've made a million dollars in the
[24:44] market. Now, here's the biggest
[24:46] contrarian take. Okay, out of all
[24:48] assets, the ones that people ignore the
[24:51] most are going to be the ones where you
[24:53] see the biggest wins. Now, look,
[24:55] depending on your own risk tolerance,
[24:56] here's what I'd say. If you're truly
[24:59] aggressive, you're acknowledging that
[25:00] this can also just continue to tank for
[25:02] a while longer, all coins are going to
[25:05] be your best asymmetric bet out of all
[25:07] the things that I've said. Bitcoin, even
[25:09] if you buy from $50,000 and we hit say
[25:14] 175, $200,000, you're still getting
[25:16] about a 4 and a half to maybe a 5x on
[25:19] the bull case. If you're able to instead
[25:22] wait for the time when Bitcoin begins to
[25:24] bottom out and buy in alts near that
[25:26] time, I believe you're going to see
[25:28] outsized gains. So, if you're not
[25:29] working with a $200, $300,000 portfolio,
[25:32] you're trying to run up a smaller bag
[25:33] size, this is where you're really going
[25:34] to want to pay attention to over the
[25:36] next 6 to 12 months. So, I believe the
[25:38] next narratives in crypto are this.
[25:40] Number one, anything relating to AI
[25:42] agents. In the previous cycle, right
[25:44] after we had the explosion of base, we
[25:46] had virtuals. We had all those AI agents
[25:49] and I still remember one of my favorite
[25:50] plays buying up AIXVT. This was a crypto
[25:54] chatbot replying to all these people on
[25:56] Twitter. Everyone was amazed by it. I
[25:59] was top blasting. I thought it was going
[26:00] to, you know, it was way too overvalued
[26:02] at the time. It was already tens of
[26:04] millions of dollars in market cap. I put
[26:06] in 30 $40,000. That turned for me
[26:09] $750,000. and one of the few plays that
[26:11] actually didn't time the beginning
[26:12] properly but got the end right, which is
[26:15] pretty much all that mattered. The next
[26:16] massive narrative in crypto is going to
[26:19] be AI related. The one to be on the
[26:21] lookout for is X42 protocol. This here
[26:24] is an open standard development by
[26:26] Coinbase and it repurposes the old HTTP
[26:30] 402 payment required status code. For
[26:32] all my folks not into crypto, I'm
[26:34] hearing people constantly chitter
[26:36] chattering about X42. There is going to
[26:38] be a use case for this. But
[26:40] unfortunately, and also fortunately,
[26:41] there's no direct exposure. There's no
[26:43] X42 token that you can get. But if you
[26:46] realize that AI agents are already here,
[26:48] they're going to get even smarter. When
[26:50] these AI agents are trying to perform an
[26:52] action on chain, they're going to need
[26:54] USDC. There is an inception period
[26:57] between the real world, the physical
[27:00] world, us AI agents, and there needs to
[27:02] be something that glues the technology
[27:05] in between. That is where I believe in
[27:06] this next cycle, we're going to see the
[27:08] adoption of crypto come alive once more.
[27:11] In this upcoming cycle, we truly need to
[27:13] see tech that has utility and works.
[27:16] Coinbase launched agent kit wallets back
[27:18] on February 11th. There's already been
[27:20] proven use case with the X42 protocol
[27:22] and something we've talked about for
[27:24] many, many months now. For the upcoming
[27:26] cycle, I'm watching virtuals. I think
[27:28] this is also going to have another leg
[27:29] up. And if it breaks previous all-time
[27:31] highs from even at current levels today,
[27:33] well, that's already a 667%
[27:37] gain. But more than likely, if it breaks
[27:39] previous all-time highs, we could see
[27:41] another tremendous leg up in the next
[27:42] cycle. I do think meme coins are going
[27:44] to pick up. Memecoins and crypto is like
[27:46] PB&J. It's always going to be together
[27:49] and crypto is not going to blow up and
[27:50] meme coins get held behind. In previous
[27:52] cycles, we had Doge in 2021. We had
[27:55] Sheba Enu. We had Bonk after that. We
[27:57] had Dog Whiff Hat. We had ski mass dog.
[28:00] This upcoming year I think memecoins are
[28:02] going to have another run again before
[28:03] you start getting into some of these
[28:05] sub10 $50 million market cap coins. I
[28:08] the ones that have continued to build
[28:10] and continue to have grown throughout
[28:12] this bare market. I think one of the
[28:14] safer more conservative plays here is
[28:16] going to be Pangu. Pangu is the meme
[28:18] coin for the Pudgy Penguins token. At
[28:20] the time of filming this video, if it
[28:22] reaches previous all-time highs, that's
[28:24] also another 600% gainer from the price
[28:27] where it's at today. Pudgy Penguins has
[28:29] literally been on that sphere in Vegas.
[28:31] They have their plushies everywhere.
[28:33] Rumors are they got even more things
[28:34] that they're working on, whether it's
[28:36] shows or games or who knows the
[28:38] different collaborations that they're
[28:39] going to have because they've already
[28:40] been on race cars and so many things and
[28:43] already gotten billions of views and
[28:45] impressions with their gift. I think
[28:47] there's always a blue chip memecoin and
[28:49] this is one of them. I'm not saying go
[28:51] ahead and just fullport this right now,
[28:52] but I'm saying at least add this to your
[28:54] watch list because when Bitcoin does
[28:56] begin to bottom out, these are the
[28:57] tokens where when Bitcoin moves up 5%,
[29:00] these are up 20, 30, 40% in a single
[29:03] day. On top of that, Pudgy Penguin's
[29:04] also related to the whole abstract
[29:06] ecosystem. In the same way that we were
[29:08] able to frontr run base and make
[29:09] millions of dollars, there are going to
[29:11] be other ecosystems and different layer
[29:14] ones that get published. Pudgy Penguins
[29:16] is the follow-up and predecessor to
[29:18] Abstract. Abstract, I know, has been
[29:20] cooking over the last few years. We've
[29:21] talked about him enough times on this
[29:23] channel, and when the market conditions
[29:25] do turn around, I believe that is going
[29:27] to be an area where we see a lot of
[29:28] liquidity flow. Now, we also have
[29:30] Kraken. They're trying to create ink
[29:32] chain, something we've also discussed.
[29:33] I'm not overly bullish on this one just
[29:35] yet. I don't know what they're going to
[29:36] do differently, how they're going to get
[29:38] market dominance, especially when Bass
[29:40] has been doing so well in the last few
[29:43] cycles, but I never want to dismiss any
[29:45] project or company, and there's also a
[29:47] possibility for them to run when they do
[29:49] come out with a token. Three other
[29:51] narratives to be on the lookout for.
[29:52] Number one, real world assets. Larry
[29:54] Frink has talked about tokenization and
[29:56] bringing the world on chain. If this man
[29:58] is going to say he believes something's
[30:00] going to happen, I'm I'm going to take
[30:01] his word for it, okay? I'm not going to
[30:03] sleep on him. The problem with real
[30:04] world assets right now is that there
[30:06] aren't many good exposure plays. We had
[30:08] which we've been tracking ever since
[30:10] they released and a token like that
[30:12] hasn't had much upside. There were some
[30:14] days where it went up during the last
[30:16] cycle, but overall RWA's until I see a
[30:19] clear definitive play where there is
[30:22] unique upside, I'm just going to
[30:24] acknowledge that as a narrative, but
[30:25] also realize there isn't asymmetric
[30:28] upside in there just yet. Next market to
[30:30] be on the lookout for, DeFi. Defi is
[30:32] always going to be around, guys. My
[30:33] favorite DeFi product has been a
[30:35] honestly instead of crypto. I think they
[30:37] should have just gone to the public
[30:38] stock market. But this is a team that's
[30:39] continued to build. You can just
[30:41] download and check out their app and it
[30:42] doesn't look any different than a
[30:44] legitimate web 2 app. It's something
[30:46] where you can earn consistent yield. You
[30:48] don't have to worry about their cash
[30:49] reserves. Everything is audited. They've
[30:51] been building it up. I mean, you always
[30:53] want to be careful in crypto, but this
[30:55] is definitely one of those plays where
[30:57] if crypto had direct correlation with
[30:59] how good a project actually is, a should
[31:02] be easily a top 10 coin on the charts.
[31:05] Last but not least here, I need to talk
[31:07] about good projects that have buyback
[31:09] revenue mechanisms built in. Hyperlid is
[31:12] going to be one of them. Hyperlid, I
[31:14] believe, is still very undervalued.
[31:15] They've actually been outperforming most
[31:17] assets and Bitcoin since the year has
[31:19] started. Hyperlid today is at $27. I
[31:22] would not be surprised if when the
[31:24] market really picks up, we see Hyperlid
[31:26] hitting $100. This is one of those
[31:28] projects where they've aird dropped tens
[31:30] of billions of dollars back to the
[31:32] crypto world. Their team has continued
[31:34] to build. A lot of people love Hyperlid.
[31:36] It's a top number 13 crypto and I
[31:38] believe a lot of new money, a lot of
[31:40] investors, a lot of traders are going to
[31:42] be eyeing this for when the market
[31:43] conditions do flip back on. On top of
[31:45] Hyperlid, you also have Pump. You cannot
[31:47] neglect Pump. They are number 72.
[31:50] They've been going down in price a lot
[31:52] and they've also turned on buyback
[31:54] mechanisms in the past. I don't think
[31:56] this is a team that's just going to
[31:57] disappear. They've generated tons and
[31:59] tons of revenue. They're continuing to
[32:01] still invest throughout these times. And
[32:03] in terms of upside, well, from current
[32:05] market lows to where we were before, at
[32:06] least a 422% still. Now, this upcoming
[32:10] cycle, I do think it's going to be
[32:11] different. And I do think there's a
[32:13] strong possibility we see a resurgence
[32:15] of all the things that have died in
[32:17] previous cycles. Look, I know so many
[32:19] people hate NFTTS. Y'all are you you got
[32:22] your own opinion depending on if you
[32:23] made money or not. Despite what most
[32:25] people think, I believe NFTTS were
[32:27] successful. They came in, they were
[32:29] massively adopted. Celebrities came in
[32:31] and although big companies like Yuga
[32:33] Labs and mega hedge funds pretty much
[32:36] rugged retail and owned most of the
[32:38] supply and that market really never had
[32:40] a chance to continue to develop because
[32:42] people just got capped out after the
[32:44] profile picks and throwing events. With
[32:46] all these companies like Meta and even
[32:48] Oakley creating new hardware tech that
[32:51] allows you to converge the real world
[32:53] into the digital world and vice versa,
[32:55] there is a place for NFTs. I'm still
[32:57] bullish on it. Now, despite what many
[32:59] people say, I believe towards the latter
[33:00] half of 2027 going to 2028, we are going
[33:03] to see at least another resurgence of
[33:04] NFTs and hopefully in that moment it
[33:06] ends up sticking. Now, the way this
[33:08] upcoming cycle is going to be different
[33:09] is everything is going to get a lot
[33:11] easier. So, there's still a lot of
[33:13] friction in crypto. Whether you're
[33:14] trying to migrate your token or bridge
[33:17] one token to another token, all this
[33:19] should be solved with all the tech
[33:21] that's being built right now. There's
[33:22] more than a strong possibility you're
[33:24] going to be able to tell an AI what to
[33:26] do and it's going to do exactly what you
[33:28] need it to. Bridge this, transfer that,
[33:30] buy up x amount of this, help me to grow
[33:31] my portfolio. And whoever can get that
[33:34] right during this time until the market
[33:36] conditions pick up again are going to be
[33:38] one of the biggest winners in all of
[33:40] crypto. Last but not least, a quick word
[33:42] of wisdom to just wrap up this video.
[33:43] The verse is James 14. Your job, folks,
[33:46] right now is to be as patient as
[33:48] possible. The people who win in this
[33:50] upcoming cycle are the ones who are
[33:51] going to be able to sit through the
[33:52] fire, who are going to be able to make
[33:54] decisive, calculated choices and to hold
[33:57] off on the pleasures of life. I know
[33:58] everyone's dying to get that new
[34:00] Porsche, get the new house. I want to
[34:02] encourage y'all to exercise extra
[34:04] patience because with prediction markets
[34:06] and gambling becoming even more
[34:08] accessible, everyone is trying to rush
[34:10] this ability of making money. But for
[34:12] those who are able to stay patient from
[34:14] now to when crypto markets start to pick
[34:16] up or that bull run even outside of
[34:18] crypto and stocks really start moving,
[34:21] those are the ones who are going to be
[34:22] able to reap what they sow. So, if you
[34:24] did find any value in this video, be
[34:25] sure to drop a like here. Comment down
[34:27] below just just something cuz it's been
[34:29] a while. All right, follow me on
[34:30] Instagram. I I've been posting random
[34:32] stuff there about my family, my dog, my
[34:35] cars. In Kaizen, we've been cooking
[34:36] something incredible. We just
[34:38] established a partnership with a brand
[34:40] new company called Genesis. This here is
[34:42] a free tool for our members that helps
[34:44] them to get a better edge in trading.
[34:46] Look, the one thing I hate about trading
[34:48] is that it's still so mechanical.
[34:50] There's still all these rules you got to
[34:52] follow. You got to discipline and
[34:53] meditate 24/7. Look, with how good AI is
[34:55] and how long trading has been around,
[34:57] there are tools now that exist that can
[34:59] help you out. This is something that I
[35:01] truly believe can help someone who's
[35:02] trying to trade and actually get their
[35:04] reps up in this market without losing it
[35:06] all, to improve their edge, and to
[35:08] ultimately become a consistent,
[35:09] profitable trader. If you want to learn
[35:10] more about those tools, I have links
[35:12] down below in the description for you
[35:13] guys to check out. Last but not least,
