AI Summary
The video analyzes the recent Bitcoin price crash, attributing it to a liquidity trap and gold's massive liquidity absorption. It then recommends several altcoins with potential for 500x returns, including Cardano, Bittensor, Solana, XRP, Chainlink, Polkadot, and Propia, while emphasizing the risks and long-term holding strategy.
Chapters
The CEO of Tenex Research explains that Bitcoin's drop to 87k was due to a liquidity trap from a gap in trading activity after Trump's election, with market makers hedging by selling futures.
Tom Lee noted that gold's $5.2 trillion movement on Jan 31 (four times Bitcoin's total market cap) triggered margin calls, causing Bitcoin to underperform.
Bitcoin underperformed inflation only 3% of the time since its creation, while gold underperformed 44% of the time over the last 50 years. Bitcoin is a superior store of value.
Cardano announced USDCX stablecoin launch at end of February, aiming to bring $70 billion liquidity to the ecosystem, solving the missing stablecoin piece.
Barry Silbert said Z Cash and Bittensor can go 500x, while Bitcoin can't due to its large market cap. He is bullish on privacy and AI in crypto.
Bittensor incentivizes subnets to compete; poor-performing subnets are expelled, quality ones receive more funding. It's a decentralized open-source protocol for AI.
Solana is positioned as internet financial infrastructure, with prediction markets launching tokens on it, record developer growth (3,830 new devs), and exploding payment volume.
Propia raised over $100M, closed a $14k crypto trade in USDT, activated deposit system in California, and embarked on a 14-city tour. High risk but huge potential.
While Bitcoin faces headwinds from gold liquidity and limited upside, the video advises accumulating high-potential altcoins like Bittensor, Solana, and Propia for possible 500x returns, but warns of significant risk.

[00:02] get involved in projects that I consider transformative and that have opportunities for returns of 100, 500, or 1000x. And I think that unless the dollar completely collapses, Bitcoin isn't going to go up 500x. I think it can go up 500x. It
[00:19] Bitcoin is collapsing. Bitcoin made a round trip to the exact point where it was before Trump's re-election. While 99% of altcoins will not survive in the long term, I believe that those that do, those
[00:34] fundamental value today, have the potential to deliver completely life-changing returns. If you're willing to endure, then of course you're willing to hold. I am not an advisor and I cannot see the future. So just use
[00:49] today's video as a sort of starting point. Because I've been in crypto for over 8 years. I've lived through many bull and bear cycles in the industry, and Alcoin Daily publishes a video every day to keep you informed.
[01:01] First of all, today's video's number six Alcoin is n't going to be what you think, but I think it's worth understanding why Bitcoin collapsed in the first place. The CEO of Tenex Research explains the liquidity trap that caused
[01:14] Bitcoin to drop to these levels. I really think it's worth understanding When Trump was elected in November 2024, Bitcoin rose from 70,000 to 90,000 in 10 or 12 months. There was very little trading activity in that section, so
[01:30] there was a gap, a large liquidity hole. And when Bitcoin reached 87,000, it finally fell into the trap, and then at 75,000 there was a lot of
[01:42] negative range within the market options. Market makers had to hedge and sell futures and futures contracts with the latest negative range hit occurring at the 60,000 level. It's as if the last market maker is
[01:56] already covered. Now the trend can be reversed. In retrospect, it makes sense. Because we rose so much and so quickly after the elections, when Bitcoin started to correct, there wasn't much volume or support in between. So
[02:10] we returned to levels where there was more support and liquidity. That's why it's still not explained why the price initially started to fall. That remains, so to speak, an unknown at this time. And I think Tom Lee hit the
[02:25] nail on the head yesterday. The fact that gold is absorbing all the liquidity is the reason why Bitcoin underperformed, and it is very likely that this will reverse this year according to data. Let's listen carefully to what he says.
[02:37] listen carefully to what he says. I would like to highlight that gold on January 31st had a movement of 5.2 trillion dollars. That's four times the size of all Bitcoin. Gold has become so big that when it makes
[02:51] moves like this, it triggers margin calls everywhere else. If you're wondering why Bitcoin was hit so hard this year, I think it has to do with gold becoming so incredibly expensive. And here's a detail.
[03:08] Gold is a good store of value. Since 1971 I have charted the return of gold against inflation in 3- year periods. Every time it's in the red, gold has fared year periods. Every time it's in the red, gold has fared worse than inflation. And 48%
[03:22] of the time in the last 50 years, gold did not store value; it performed worse than did not store value; it performed worse than inflation 48% of the time. And since Bitcoin was created, it has only underperformed inflation
[03:36] has only underperformed inflation for 5 months out of 160, which for 5 months out of 160, which translates to only 3% of the time. But during that same period, gold underperformed inflation 44% of the
[03:50] time. So I'll say it again, don't lose hope in Bitcoin. It has been a better store of value than gold, although gold has fared much better in Which brings us to the next point. Founder Charles Hoskinson, fresh
[04:05] off his first shift at McDonald's ( of course, this is a joke), announces the launch date of Cardano's stablecoin, which he hopes will bring monstrous liquidity to the Cardano ecosystem. Let's listen to it, friend.
[04:19] We recently announced that USDCX is coming to Cardano and now we have a launch date at the end of February. In fact, there is incredible engineering that will give users a beautiful experience. You can go directly from one
[04:34] wallet to any other with instant convertibility to USDC. So Cardano secures a $70 billion liquidity injection that finally solves the piece that investors were most missing, stable
[04:48] coins, which of course are being regulated globally for the first time and let's just say that Cardano wasn't doing very well within the sector. Ethereum, Tron, Solana, and even Binance SmartChain are the dominant players, especially
[05:02] Ethereum. The following altcoins on our list are a direct selection from early Bitcoin investor Barry Silvert. By the way, I'm very excited to mention that my brother and I will be speaking at the Bitcoin
[05:14] Conference 2026 this year. For anyone interested in rubbing shoulders with me, Michael Sailor, and the presidents of the CFTC and SEC, along with other great guests we've had on the channel, ticket prices are about to go up, so
[05:28] I recommend buying yours very soon. You can use the code Alcoin Daily for a 10% discount. You have the link below, my friend. And we were talking about Barry Silbert in a direct quote yesterday at Bitcoin Investor Week
[05:41] in New York, he said, "I think Z Cash and Bittensor can go up 500x." And here he explains why. I like to invest in, support, and get involved in projects that I consider transformative and that have
[05:55] opportunities for returns of 100, 500, or 1000x. And I think that unless the dollar completely collapses, Bitcoin isn't going to go up 500x. I think Z Cash can go up up 500x. I think Z Cash can go up 500X and Bitensor can go up 500X.
[06:10] Therefore, we adjusted the portfolio accordingly. Personally, I'm bullish on privacy and AI in crypto for the next 5 to 8 years, but I choose Bittensor over Z Cash because choosing a privacy coin
[06:24] like Z Cash is like trying to pick a specific stock. Yes, the privacy market trend is going up, but Z Cash will be the coin that achieves it. Well, I have to say that of course I'm not that certain. On the other hand, what
[06:40] I like about Bitensor, about Tao, is that you invest in infrastructure. There are hundreds of subnets, whether for AI, robotics, or energy, being built on Bitensor. And what's great is that even though most
[06:53] garbage— in my opinion, it's pure garbage, because many projects only claim to be AI to capitalize on the hype—there's clearly a very good opportunity, a huge
[07:08] opportunity, in the convergence of cryptocurrencies and AI. At Bitensor, subnets compete. Those that are rubbish, the bad ones are expelled, and the quality ones that add more value to the protocol receive more funding. They are encouraged to
[07:23] stay, to compete and continue to demonstrate their value while the entire blockchain strengthens. I believe the ability to incentivize contribution and stakeholders in unique ways around
[07:39] artificial intelligence is extremely exciting. That's why we got involved in Bittensor, which is a decentralized open-source protocol just like decentralized open-source protocol just like Bitcoin. But instead of
[07:54] incentivizing network security, it incentivizes people to compete and try to solve complex problems in the real world. And Bensor is
[08:08] made up of more than 100 different subreves. These are competitions where people try to predict sports results, try to discover medicines, or encourage computing and storage. It's a
[08:22] super-intelligent intersection of cryptocurrencies and artificial intelligence. There are other projects, but this one is definitely the most important. The next currency on today's list is in high demand on Wall Street. It's
[08:36] is the asset, Solana is the infrastructure. asset side and the infrastructure side. Bitcoin is the asset and Solana is the infrastructure. And what is it for ? It is financial infrastructure
[08:51] for the internet. And I think all the use cases that blockchain explored fundamentally boil down to financing something specific. Now it appears that the world's largest prediction markets, which
[09:04] have millions of users, are planning to launch a token on Solana. Developers on Solana have increased almost 10 times since 2020, as the network welcomed a record 3,830
[09:17] new developers last year. It's a record, my friend. Furthermore, Solana leads all payment platforms with a
[09:31] total payment volume is still very small compared to PayPal, the growth potential is still enormous and the rate is exploding, meaning they won't be this small for much longer, which brings us to
[09:45] the last coins on the list. While Bitcoin falls further, or rather, while we consolidate this year, I believe it's worthwhile to buy and hold certain coins for the long term. Before getting to them I have to say,
[09:59] I think Cardano or Solana can go up 500X in the next 5 to 10 years. Well, it seems incredible to think about it because their market capitalizations are truly
[10:13] very, very large. That's why I think even Barr Silbert, being very bullish on Bitcoin, which could go up 5 or 10x in 10 years, understands that the capitalization is immense. That's why Bittensor has a much
[10:28] smaller market capitalization, which means it requires smaller amounts of global money to double or increase a hundredfold. Therefore , if you don't want to complicate things, Bitcoin and Ethereum as you can to hold it for the long term. These other
[10:43] plays are riskier, of course, and may go to zero, but if they go well, they could be very big. By the way, for a limited time, anyone who wants to buy or sell cryptocurrencies has a new user bonus of
[10:57] up to $10,000 to invest in any of these altcoins with the promotional code altcoin Daily, all together in capital letters. You have the link below. This isn't going to last forever, so maybe it's an opportunity worth considering. For me,
[11:11] the last altcoins to watch are XRP, which seems to be spending a lot of money; they wo n't be left behind based on their own war budget. And I also think that Chainlink, of course, is important. Without a doubt, it's one to
[11:25] watch. And I still have my Polkadot. I'm staking, although I don't know it. I've lost a little hope, but I'm still holding on. Propia has been declining for the past year, but in just the last 7 days it has risen more than 50%, as it
[11:39] should. It's a huge risk, but with enormous potential if it goes well. And now I'll explain why. Because while most companies spent January planning, Propi spent it executing. They raised more than $100,000,000 to
[11:52] modernize property titles and real estate escrow. They closed a $ 14,000 crypto trade in USDT and their deposit system in California is now active. Texas is next and they
[12:05] embarked on a 14-city tour. My friend, they could be arriving in a city near you before you know it . Propi is building. They could be very big in 5 years. And so said its own founder. If
[12:57] do me a big favor and subscribe. Join the team, it costs you nothing and it's a video every day reviewing each altcoin we mention today, we'll keep you informed for the next 6 months. As always,
[13:09] next 6 months. As always, see you tomorrow, my friend.
