## Summary

The speaker, a crypto investor who has made millions, presents a bearish short-term outlook for Bitcoin and altcoins, predicting a potential bottom between $30,000-$63,000 before a bullish rally leading into 2028. He outlines a strategy based on the 4-year halving cycle, macroeconomic triggers (rate cuts, midterm elections), and specific altcoin plays (AI agents, memecoins, DeFi), while emphasizing patience, dollar-cost averaging, and portfolio diversification into stocks.

### Key Points

- **Market Context** [[1:36]] — Since October/November, markets have been brutal; Bitcoin broke all-time high but altcoins didn't run as expected.
- **Crypto Top-Out** [[2:09]] — When Bitcoin broke its all-time high, crypto topped out; alts ran briefly but not like past cycles.
- **Interest Rate Thesis** [[2:21]] — Historically, crypto rallies after interest rate cuts (e.g., 2021); the thesis for a Q4/Q1 mini-cycle got invalidated.
- **Invalidation of Mini-Cycle** [[3:00]] — The expected mini-cycle in late Q4/early Q1 was invalidated; risk assets began to unravel.
- **Bearish Sentiment** [[3:14]] — Crypto Twitter sentiment turned very bearish; people capitulated, positions went into the red.
- **Historical Precedents** [[3:25]] — Past cycles saw rallies without rate cuts (pre-2021, pre-2025), but crypto is driven by speculation, not fundamentals.
- **Crypto Market Nature** [[4:09]] — Crypto is more irrational than other markets due to permissionlessness and lack of oversight.
- **Long-Term Conviction** [[5:00]] — The speaker believes crypto will not disappear; Bitcoin will eventually reach $1M in our lifetime.
- **Market Age Comparison** [[5:26]] — Stock market is 400 years old; crypto is only 16 years old, explaining massive volatility.
- **Edge in Early Markets** [[6:01]] — Success comes from identifying early trends; crypto offers a stronger edge than stocks, less competition with insiders.
- **Changing Perspective** [[7:00]] — Speaker's perspective is shifting due to having a son and seeing other markets (stocks) perform while crypto chops sideways.
- **Technical Analysis Basics** [[7:55]] — Key technical indicators: moving averages, volume, RSI. Prices break support; no V-shaped recovery expected.
- **Bear Market Confirmation** [[8:35]] — Confirmed bear market; bear markets are a golden opportunity to buy at a discount.
- **Current Stance** [[8:50]] — Speaker is not buying at current levels; expects prices to go lower, targeting $30k-$63k range.
- **Buying Zone** [[9:00]] — $40k-$30k is a massive fire sale; Bitcoin could hit $180k-$250k in the next halving cycle (2028).
- **Institutional Predictions** [[9:23]] — JP Morgan predicts Bitcoin could rocket to $170k in coming months.
- **4-Year Halving Cycle** [[10:11]] — Bitcoin peaks 12-18 months post-halving, then corrects for ~12 months.
- **Historical Drawdowns** [[10:50]] — Peak-to-bottom drawdowns: 2013 86%, 2017 84%, 2021 78%; applying 70-75% to $126k gives $30k-$38k bottom.
- **DCA Strategy** [[11:36]] — Speaker will start dollar-cost averaging (DCA) into Bitcoin below $60k, not trying to time the exact bottom.
- **Timeline Prediction** [[12:19]] — Markets confused until May; bottom expected in October 2025; rally by January 2026; 2027 bullish for crypto.
- **Accumulation Window** [[13:00]] — Under $60k is the accumulation zone; DCA strategy recommended even if markets stay low until October.
- **Key Catalyst: Midterms** [[14:10]] — After midterms (October-November 2025), policy certainty historically gives 15.4% average one-year return.
- **Midterm Reasons** [[15:08]] — Three reasons: policy certainty, gridlock reduces surprises, presidents frontload pain then juice economy.
- **Rate Cuts and FOMC** [[15:38]] — Rate cuts expected June onward (40% odds); FOMC dates: Mar 17, Apr 27, Jun 16, Jul 28, Sep 15, Oct 27, Dec 8.
- **Key Triggers Summary** [[17:24]] — Interest rate cuts, Bitcoin halving narrative, midterm elections, and war developments (e.g., Iran) as catalysts.
- **Danger of Buying Dips** [[18:07]] — In a downtrend, buying dips mindlessly can lead to losses until trend reverses; buy dips only in uptrends.
- **Diversification into Stocks** [[19:01]] — Speaker diversifying into stocks (AI, robotics, private markets, pre-IPO) to manage risk; crypto dip could get worse.
- **Risk Management** [[20:07]] — Speaker learned risk management after losing almost everything in 2021; size into early narratives; winners make up for losers.
- **Encouraging Open-Mindedness** [[21:52]] — Encourages viewers not to be all-in on crypto; consider stocks for long-term growth.
- **Pre-IPO Stocks Gain** [[22:02]] — Made $250k last year from pre-IPO stocks (2-5x from pre-IPO price).
- **AI and Prediction Markets** [[22:29]] — AI agents could help traders and investors outsmart humans; prediction markets and AI agents will be huge.
- **Gold/Silver Not Asymmetric** [[23:35]] — Speaker is not buying gold/silver at current highs; asymmetric upside in assets down 50-80% (crypto, select stocks).
- **Contrarian Picks** [[24:30]] — Assets people ignore are biggest winners; aggressive investors should consider altcoins (AI agents, memecoins) for outsized gains.
- **Narrative: AI Agents** [[25:40]] — Next big narrative in crypto: AI agents (e.g., X42 protocol, Virtuals Protocol); also AI agents driving on-chain actions.
- **X42 Protocol** [[26:16]] — X42 is an open standard by Coinbase, repurposing HTTP 402 for AI agent payments; no direct token but USDC used.
- **Altcoins to Watch** [[27:28]] — Virtuals Protocol (prev ATH gives 667% gain), PANGU (memecoin for Pudgy Penguins, 600% gainer if ATH), Hyperliquid (top 13, TP $100), Pump (buyback mechanism, 422% upside).
- **Memecoin Outlook** [[28:53]] — Memecoins will have another run; Pangu (Pudgy Penguins) is a blue-chip memecoin; buying dip when Bitcoin moves up 5%→memecoins up 20-40% in a day.
- **Layer 1 Ecosystems** [[29:30]] — Abstract chain (Pudgy Penguins related) and Kraken's Ink chain are potential plays; Base has done well.
- **Real World Assets (RWA)** [[29:52]] — Tokenization trend (Larry Fink); no clear definitive play yet; asymmetric upside not there.
- **DeFi Narrative** [[30:30]] — DeFi always around; favorite product is something like a top 10 coin if correlated with project quality.
- **Hyperliquid and Pump** [[31:05]] — Hyperliquid ($27 now) could hit $100 in bull market; Pump has buyback mechanism, down 422% from lows.
- **NFT Resurgence** [[32:10]] — Despite hate, NFTs were successful; resurgence likely in late 2027-2028 as tech merges real/digital worlds.
- **Final Wisdom** [[33:40]] — Patience is key; avoid rushing into luxuries; those who withstand the fire and make calculated choices will win.
- **Call to Action** [[34:24]] — Like, comment, follow on Instagram; join Kaizen community (free trial) for tools to improve trading edge.

### Conclusion

In summary, the speaker provides a cautious bearish short-term outlook on crypto, predicting a bottom in the $30k-$63k range by October 2025, followed by a strong bull run into 2028. He advises dollar-cost averaging into Bitcoin, diversifying into stocks (AI, robotics), and focusing on specific altcoin narratives (AI agents, memecoins, DeFi) for asymmetric gains, all while emphasizing patience and risk management.

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