How I Would Invest $1000 in Crypto as a Beginner (2026 Guide)

[00:00] This piece of legislation is going to

[00:01] make America the crypto capital of the

[00:04] world.

[00:04] The crypto market is in the early stages

[00:07] of one of the largest bull runs in

[00:09] crypto history

[00:10] using the state-of-the-art crypto

[00:12] technology. This could be perhaps the

[00:15] greatest revolution in financial

[00:17] technology since the birth of the

[00:19] internet itself. Who would have thought

[00:20] we would have been saying that? with now

[00:22] the United States, the largest financial

[00:24] market on earth, about to buy Bitcoin.

[00:27] We've stated publicly that Bitcoin is

[00:29] digital gold. We believe it's in the

[00:31] best interest of the United States to to

[00:32] garner as much as we can possibly get

[00:34] and tokenizing the traditional financial

[00:36] system.

[00:37] Today, I'm announcing the launch of

[00:39] Project Crypto to enable America's

[00:42] financial markets to move onchain

[00:44] with the upcoming Clarity Act, one of

[00:46] the biggest catalysts for crypto. We do

[00:49] believe the bill will be passed uh

[00:50] within the next 60 days. Uh and this is

[00:53] further clarification. The Genius Act

[00:55] gave us clarity on stable coins. This

[00:57] new bill will give us clarity on much

[00:59] more within the general world of crypto.

[01:01] a catalyst so impactful it may have

[01:04] generational

[01:06] effects

[01:07] and again provides the rules that the

[01:10] traditional finance industry, banks,

[01:12] insurance companies, credit card

[01:13] companies, uh as well as the Fortune 500

[01:16] generally need to know that they're able

[01:19] to engage in this marketplace. They they

[01:20] they know what they're allowed to do,

[01:22] how they're allowed to do it, how they

[01:23] have to disclose it and report it uh and

[01:26] pay taxes on it. And this is going to

[01:28] unleash the burdens that have kept

[01:31] everybody out of the marketplace. The

[01:33] result of all this tell you, you're

[01:34] going to see hundreds of millions,

[01:37] probably hundreds of billions of

[01:39] dollars, perhaps even trillions of

[01:41] dollars flowing into Bitcoin and other

[01:43] digital assets.

[01:44] But what crypto coins have the biggest

[01:46] growth potential? And how would I invest

[01:48] $1,000 into crypto into 2026 to get

[01:52] rich? And since all of these coins

[01:54] operate on a supply demand issue, just

[01:56] like any other asset, we're anticipating

[01:58] this is going to be the beginning of a

[02:00] major source of inflows and price

[02:02] increases over the next several years.

[02:04] Be sure to click subscribe to Altcoin

[02:06] Daily for an edge investing in crypto

[02:08] because as these specific coins get new

[02:11] updates, make big news, Altcoin Daily

[02:13] makes one video per day keeping you

[02:16] informed. And the first coin and my

[02:18] biggest holding and there's a reason

[02:20] this coin is my biggest holding is

[02:22] Bitcoin. You are not too late. Bitcoin

[02:25] is digital gold. I would put $400 out of

[02:29] my $1,000 immediately into Bitcoin. 40%.

[02:33] And there's a reason. Bitcoin is going

[02:35] much much much higher than $ 109 120

[02:39] $140,000 per coin in my opinion. By the

[02:43] way, I am not a financial adviser. I'm

[02:45] only speaking from me, my journey, what

[02:48] I'm doing. But just looking at the data,

[02:50] businesses are absorbing Bitcoin at 4x

[02:54] the rate than it's currently being

[02:55] mined. Meaning that there's only only

[02:58] this many Bitcoin being mined into

[03:00] existence each day. And on average,

[03:03] there's four times the amount being

[03:05] bought each day by Bitcoin treasury

[03:08] companies, conventional businesses,

[03:10] funds, and ETFs, governments. Not that

[03:12] we can't dip lower dayto-day, but over

[03:15] time price has to go up. CIO of Bitwise,

[03:19] Matt Hogan, perfectly explains what's

[03:21] happening. So last year, ETFs bought

[03:23] half a million Bitcoin. Again, remember

[03:25] the Bitcoin network only produced

[03:28] 165,000 Bitcoin. So it bought three

[03:31] times the total supply. Corporations

[03:33] bought 250,000 Bitcoin. Governments, I

[03:37] think this year, could buy a couple

[03:38] hundred thousand Bitcoin. So, I think if

[03:41] you look at those three sources, I think

[03:42] they'll buy more than a million Bitcoin

[03:44] this year. And where is it going to come

[03:46] from? The only place it can come from is

[03:48] people who already hold Bitcoin. The

[03:50] only way they will sell is if the price

[03:52] goes up. That's why I'm so bullish on

[03:54] the

[03:54] And just look what happened when the

[03:56] gold ETF was approved in 2004 for the

[03:59] very first time ever. The gold price

[04:02] essentially went up only for the next 9

[04:05] years. Yes, there were corrections along

[04:07] the way. That's healthy. But gold could

[04:10] be purchased in an ETF rapper for the

[04:12] very first time in history, and the

[04:14] demand from Wall Street and average

[04:16] people was insatiable. The Bitcoin ETF

[04:19] got approved in 2024 for the very first

[04:22] time in history. We've had 1.5 years of

[04:26] up, meaning it's like we're right here.

[04:29] You do not want to tell your grandkids

[04:32] that you are watching altcoin daily and

[04:34] you lived through one of the biggest

[04:36] technological money revolutions in

[04:38] history, an evolution of money and you

[04:40] did not accumulate your piece of digital

[04:43] gold. So $400 of my $1,000 goes directly

[04:46] into Bitcoin. My next $200 goes directly

[04:50] into Ethereum. If Bitcoin is digital

[04:53] decentralized gold, then Ethereum is a

[04:55] decentralized app store, meaning you can

[04:58] build on it. stable coins, decentralized

[05:00] games. Ethereum is based on the numbers

[05:04] the world's most trusted blockchain for

[05:06] digital assets. Again, just look at the

[05:09] data. It has on average over 15 million

[05:12] daily transactions. It has the most

[05:15] stable coins built on them. And in this

[05:18] exclusive clip, I know we just shared

[05:20] with you a piece of this the other day,

[05:21] but this video just makes me want to own

[05:24] Ethereum. Ethereum uh differs from

[05:27] Bitcoin. Actually, Bitcoin, Ethereum was

[05:29] initially a fork of Bitcoin by the way,

[05:31] but with a added feature, which is smart

[05:34] contracts. So, what they wanted to do on

[05:37] Ethereum was to say, let's use

[05:39] blockchain technology not just to store

[05:42] value uh but now to store information.

[05:46] Ethereum is is as a smart contract

[05:48] platform actually also has something

[05:50] called the EVM, Ethereum virtual

[05:51] machine. So you can run entire programs

[05:55] and conditional contracts on Ethereum.

[05:59] Um, and Ethereum itself is 100%

[06:01] reliable. It has not had a single moment

[06:03] of downtime since inception. It's one of

[06:05] the few blockchains that has never been

[06:07] down. Um, and then if you needed to do

[06:10] more things on Ethereum, you can build

[06:12] what they call layer twos on top of it.

[06:14] So Ethereum is a essentially uh

[06:18] infrastructure that now is is catching

[06:21] the attention of two industries.

[06:24] The first is the financial sector. Um

[06:28] the stable coins became really viral

[06:31] sorry a breakaway product for crypto and

[06:34] that's like the chat GPT moment. You

[06:36] know there's $250 billion worth of

[06:38] stable coins. The vast majority of those

[06:40] are minted on Ethereum.

[06:42] Then the Genius Act was passed by this

[06:46] administration and the Cong this

[06:47] Congress and that greenlighted the

[06:50] proliferation of stable coins onto the

[06:53] blockchain. So banks are now building

[06:54] stable coin products that Treasury

[06:57] Secretary of Besson thinks that could

[06:58] get to 4 trillion. That's exponential

[07:00] growth

[07:01] burning gas on Ethereum. And then we

[07:04] have project crypto which is the SEC

[07:07] building uh wanting Wall Street to build

[07:08] on the blockchain. Now all that

[07:10] collectively

[07:12] for from a Wall Street pers perspective

[07:14] is like 1971

[07:16] for the dollar. And what I mean by that

[07:19] is in 1971 the the dollar went off the

[07:22] gold standard. So in 1971 the dollar

[07:25] became synthetic and gold was what

[07:29] people bought as a hedge against that

[07:30] synthetic dollar. So you had gold as a

[07:34] as the trade and that would be the

[07:35] Bitcoin equivalent.

[07:38] But actually the synthetic dollar is

[07:40] what created the rails for Wall Street

[07:43] to build all their future products. The

[07:45] futures, curves, derivatives were all

[07:47] because the dollar was a synthetic

[07:49] product. If if every if the dollar was

[07:50] backed by gold, Wall Street would be

[07:51] still a very small business. Well, Wall

[07:55] Street now is going to be building its

[07:58] entire infrastructure onto the

[08:00] blockchain and the blockchain they're

[08:02] choosing is Ethereum. So, this is the

[08:04] 1971 moment where Wall Street is

[08:06] essentially capitalizing

[08:09] on tokenizing the entire world onto a

[08:12] blockchain. That's a huge opportunity.

[08:14] So, $400 out of a,000 into Bitcoin, $200

[08:17] into Ethereum. My next $100 for me goes

[08:21] into Solana. What's interesting is while

[08:24] Solana is also a smart contract

[08:27] platform, meaning it's an Ethereum

[08:29] competitor, Solana transactions are

[08:31] cheaper, they're faster, and they're a

[08:33] better user experience. Sort of like the

[08:36] Apple of blockchains. And while Ethereum

[08:39] is dominating in stable coins, there's

[08:41] no question Solana is leading the charge

[08:44] and dominating in tokenizing real world

[08:46] assets. The total value of tokenized

[08:50] realworld assets, meaning real assets,

[08:53] RWAS, on Solana, has surpassed 500

[08:56] million, a new all-time high. Also, in

[08:59] this resurfaced clip, the cryptozar of

[09:02] the United States, David Sachs, works

[09:04] with Trump before he got appointed

[09:06] Cryptozar explains that all his buddies

[09:09] in Silicon Valley are rooting for

[09:11] Solana, although he had to divest. It's

[09:14] an Ethereum competitor basically for you

[09:16] know smart contract platform and there's

[09:18] a lot of people I'd say smart money in

[09:20] Silicon Valley who are betting on a

[09:23] flipping

[09:24] where Salana could ultimately overtake

[09:27] Ethereum as the preferred platform.

[09:30] And again if you want to stay up todate

[09:32] on all the coins mentioned in today's

[09:34] video click subscribe. The minute any of

[09:37] these coins make fundamental big news I

[09:39] will make a video. I will report to you.

[09:41] And this gives you an edge as an

[09:44] investor because you stay in the no. So

[09:46] in my $1,000 crypto portfolio, I have

[09:49] $400 into Bitcoin, $200 into Ethereum,

[09:52] $100 into Solana, and now I have $300

[09:56] remaining. And this is where it gets

[09:58] fun. By the way, anybody looking to buy,

[10:00] sell, or trade any of these coins, I

[10:03] want to recommend exchange partner WEX.

[10:05] Often the smaller coins are not found on

[10:08] the bigger exchanges. So for me, WEX,

[10:10] you'd go over to markets or you'd go

[10:12] over to futures to trade. This is where

[10:14] also you can see all the charts. But we

[10:17] go over to markets and you see all the

[10:19] different coins offered. Bitcoin,

[10:21] Ethereum, Solana, tons and tons of coins

[10:24] offered. And for a limited time, if

[10:26] you're trading crypto, use code altcoin

[10:28] and get a 100% position airdrop.

[10:31] Meaning, if you put in $500, they give

[10:34] you $500 to trade in a position airdrop.

[10:38] link down below. So, I have $300 left.

[10:41] This is where I choose to invest in

[10:43] higher risk altcoins, which are also

[10:45] potentially higher reward, but also with

[10:48] money I'm willing to lose. With my final

[10:52] $300, I will take $200, $200, and invest

[10:57] in a basket of either made in America or

[11:01] blue chip DeFi altcoins. So, coins that

[11:04] fit those trends because I like to

[11:06] invest in trends and made in America and

[11:09] DeFi, huge trends into 2026. XRP has

[11:14] huge potential into 2026. It's used by

[11:16] the banking system.

[11:18] Okay, so Ripple actually was the second

[11:20] largest coin prior to the SEC's

[11:22] investigation of them. They did this

[11:24] really weird lawsuit against them. Um,

[11:26] and basically the Ripple is going to be

[11:28] the track that everything's going to be

[11:29] running on in the future. So, they

[11:30] created their own stable coin right now.

[11:32] Okay. And uh Bank of America, like I

[11:34] said, they were doing 100% of their

[11:36] internal transactions.

[11:37] Chain link as well hits the made in

[11:38] America trend, hits the DeFi trend.

[11:40] Chain link is working with many layer

[11:43] ones, meaning who knows if Ethereum or

[11:45] Solana or Avalanche will win. Chainlink

[11:48] is working with all of them.

[11:49] Chainlink is DeFi infrastructure.

[11:51] Chainlink is the set of standards and

[11:55] the the infrastructure and services that

[11:57] allow you to build reliable stable coins

[12:00] that allow you to move those stable

[12:02] coins reliably across chains.

[12:03] Also, Cardano hits this trend. They do

[12:06] they are unlocking Bitcoin DeFi which

[12:08] will be huge. On the other hand, they

[12:10] give us massive competitive advantages

[12:12] when you look at Bitcoin DeFi because

[12:14] now Bitcoin wants to do DeFi and it's a

[12:16] lot easier to write UTXO smart contracts

[12:18] on Cardano than it is uh to write those

[12:20] on Ethereum or Salana.

[12:22] Also, Hyperlid hits the DeFi trend.

[12:24] Over the last two years, we've spent a

[12:26] lot of time looking at the exchanges and

[12:29] coins. We've had many opportunities and

[12:31] the first one that we've really

[12:33] responded to was Hyperlid and Hype. Both

[12:36] David and I spent a lot of time looking

[12:38] into not just the coin but the exchange

[12:41] the advantages it has and it is like we

[12:44] came away absolutely gobsmacked that

[12:46] there was so little attention.

[12:48] Ando also hitting two major trends made

[12:51] in America one tokenization and DeFi

[12:54] another. They are working with

[12:55] BlackRock. They are backed by Coinbase.

[12:58] If you believe tokenization is only

[13:00] getting bigger you want to look at. So

[13:02] again, $200 would go into made in

[13:05] America coins/defi coins. And then my

[13:09] final $100 I would get super

[13:12] speculative. I would take a big risk.

[13:14] I'd look at Ethereum layer 2's. Kodi is

[13:16] the only Ethereum layer 2 focused on

[13:19] privacy. I'd invest in AI. Bitensor is

[13:22] the blue chip AI altcoin. Do not sleep

[13:24] on it. I'm an ambassador to Supra. This

[13:27] is like a Salana or a SU killer. highly

[13:30] speculative but high- risk, highreward.

[13:33] Comment down below which coin you have

[13:35] the most belief in, how you would

[13:37] allocate $1,000 in crypto. Let's all

[13:39] check the comment section together. And

[13:42] as a special bonus for only Altcoin

[13:44] Daily audience members that stayed to

[13:46] the end, anybody trading crypto, claim

[13:48] over $100,000 in stable coins worth of

[13:52] newbie benefits for you. This is a

[13:54] professional exchange trying to

[13:56] incentivize you if you use referral code

[13:58] altcoin daily to trade with them. And

[14:01] they're offering you up to $100,000 to

[14:04] do it. This will not last forever. It's

[14:07] a limited time. I will put a link down

[14:09] below. And like always, see you
