Portfolio premise
The speaker addresses the question: 'I have a certain amount of money. What are the few select coins that you would be holding?' He proposes a five-token altcoin portfolio, explicitly excluding Bitcoin.
[00:15]
Sui as a next Solana candidate
The first pick is Sui (called 'Sooie' in the video). It is described as the closest comparison to potentially being the 'next Solana' due to network effects and on-chain growth, making it a 'safe bet'.
[00:29]
TAO for AI exposure
The second pick is TAO, labeled the 'number one leading AI altcoin.' Adding TAO gives the portfolio a leading chain (Sui) and a leader in the AI space.
[00:43]
Avalanche as institutional pick
The third pick is AVAX. The speaker notes it is growing 10-fold, at its highest total value locked (TVL), with investors like BlackRock and JP Morgan leaning in. He calls it a 'great catch-up trade' this cycle.
[00:57]
Solana for long-term upside
The fourth pick is Solana, which the speaker believes is easily worth $500 to $1,000 in the long term. He calls it a very safe bet and 'the chain that everyone is betting on' this cycle.
[01:12]
Hyperliquid for revenue and buybacks
The final pick is Hyperliquid, described as the 'people's onchain DEX.' Users can go long or short, and the project buys back its token every day with generated revenue — a trait the speaker considers ideal.
The speaker emphasizes that crypto projects buying back their own tokens with revenue is the best scenario for holders, reinforcing Hyperliquid as the fifth pick. The portfolio balances L1 chains, an AI token, and a revenue-generating DEX.

[00:01] get in crypto is, "Hey, I have a certain amount of money. What are the few select coins that you would be holding?" So, if I could only hold a five token altcoin portfolio, so this is excluding Bitcoin. Here are the five I would go with and
[00:15] the reasons why. Number one would be Sooie. I think that Sooie is by far the closest comparison to potentially the next Salana. The network effect, the growth on the chain, I think it's absolutely a safe bet. Number two would
[00:29] be Tao. Tao is by far the number one leading AI altcoin. So here you have an allocation to Suie which is a leading chain as well as TA which is a leader in the AI space. Moving on down the ladder, another chain with AVAX. Avac is growing
[00:43] 10fold. They're at their highest TVL and a lot of metrics and investors like Black Rockck, JP Morgan, they're all leaning in to Avalanche and I think this is a great catch-up trade to other coins this cycle. Number four would be Salana.
[00:57] Look, I think Salana is easily $500 to $1,000 in the long term. It's a very safe bet. It is the chain that everyone is dening on at this point in time in the cycle. And of course, my last pick here would be Hyperlid. Hyperlid is by
[01:12] far the people's onchain decks. You can long perf, short, etc. It has everything you want from a revenue driving business, and they also buy back their token every single day with the revenue that they make. There's nothing better
[01:27] than a crypto project that is helping you by buying their bags.
