The 5 BEST Coins To Invest $10,000 In Crypto In 2026

[00:00] Here's how I would invest $10,000 in crypto as a beginner in 2026 for maximum growth. Now, I am not a financial advisor. I cannot see the future. But I've been in crypto for over eight years.

[00:13] Should I buy Bitcoin? Let me tell you, Bitcoin is just getting started. I've spoken on the biggest stages with the biggest names about the potential of this industry. What's your why mark, like why does cryptocurrency excite you?

[00:28] I'm always in the tech. I'm always looking for new opportunities. And if I were creating the ultimate crypto portfolio to hold for at least five years, to hold for at least 10 years, I would put the first $5,000 out of my $10,000 directly into digital gold.

[00:45] Bitcoin is unequivocally the best inflation hedge that there is more than gold because Bitcoin is finite. And why?

[00:57] Well, because Bitcoin accounts for just 0.2% of the total global wealth. I believe over the next five, 10 years, the real estate market is going to go up. I believe that gold and arts markets are going to increase in value, increase in value.

[01:13] I believe equities over a 10-year time horizon are going to increase in value. The US stock market, I'm bullish in a 10-year timeframe. But with Bitcoin being under 1% of its total addressable market and the year cryptocurrency is being regulated for the first time ever,

[01:29] it's not crazy to understand that Bitcoin in its nasancy is going to grow as well and even steal some market share, steal some market share in the store of value assets as explained by legendary investor Paul Tutor Jones.

[01:45] In terms of it being a great inflation hedge, gold increasing supply every year by a couple of percent. Bitcoin, there's a finite amount that can be mined as decentralized.

[01:57] And so in that sense, it has the greatest scarcity value of anything. There was never a bad time over the last 200 years to buy beach front real estate. There was never a bad time over the last 200 years to buy gold.

[02:12] And do not make the mistake of walking out of this technological revolution without your piece of digital real estate, digital gold. Let me explain to you why Ethereum, now that we've talked about crypto, Ethereum is the future of finance.

[02:26] Now with that being said, there's obviously much more innovation, so much more happening in crypto than digital gold. And for that reason, I would put my next $2,000 into potentially the future of finance Ethereum.

[02:40] Ethereum is still the crypto coin besides Bitcoin showing the most growth. It has the biggest stable coin supply located on ETH and stable coins are not going away. As stable coins grow in value, that's going to benefit Ethereum.

[02:54] And while the long-term subscribers have seen this Tom Lee clip before, this is the clip I send to all my friends, the newbies in crypto. I think Ethereum is going to become the future of finance.

[03:08] It's about a two-minute clip, this is why I put $2,000 into ETH and hold for five years, hold for 10 years. Okay, so let me explain to you why Ethereum, now that we've talked about crypto, Ethereum is the future of finance.

[03:25] And what I mean by that is Ethereum, in this year, it's having its 1971 moment. But what I'm saying is that in 1971, the dollar went off the gold standard. And in 1971, it galvanized Wall Street to create financial products to make sure the dollar would be the reserve currency.

[03:46] Well, in 2025, we're tokenizing everything. So it's not just the dollar that's getting tokenized, but it stocks bonds real estate. And Wall Street is again going to take advantage of that and create products onto a smart contract platform.

[04:03] And where they're building this is on Ethereum. And today, if you look at the share of real world assets, and the prior panel talked about that, the majority of this, the vast majority is being built on Ethereum.

[04:19] Even he has said, Ethereum is one of the smart contract wars. As you know, Ethereum has been range bound for five years, as I've shaded here, but it's begun to break out.

[04:31] And that's one of the reasons why myself and Mosaic's, Shen from Mosaic's, is here. We got very involved with Ethereum by turning Bitmind into an Ethereum Treasury company, because we saw this break out coming.

[04:45] Now, this might actually be more important, because Bitcoin and Ethereum are really the two most important crypto-plac L1s or blockchains out there.

[04:57] But if 2025 is about tokenization, that means Ethereum's utility value should be rising. Therefore, you should watch this ratio. Well, I think Bitcoin's going to get to 250,000 within a few months.

[05:12] And if Ethereum price ratio to Bitcoin gets back to its eight-year average, that's $12,000 for Ethereum. But I think Ethereum's going to become the future of finance, the payment rails of the future.

[05:27] And if it gets to 0.25 relative to Bitcoin, that's 62,000. So I think Ethereum at 3,000, of course, is grossly undervalued. So obviously, like the video, obviously I don't believe that Bitcoin's going to hit $250,000 in a few months, but I do believe in the ratio.

[05:47] I think in the next five years, 100% I believe Bitcoin will hit $250,000. And as long as we're still seeing the adoption for ETH, like now, the ratio will hold, I believe.

[06:00] So I have my Bitcoin position, I have my Ethereum position, I have $7,000 allocated, with my remaining $3,000, now we can have more fun. Now we can take more risk, understanding that that's exactly what we're doing.

[06:16] These are more for sure, in my opinion. Now let's take a little bit more risk. And with my next $1,000, I'm going to bet on DAP platforms. So I think really, will Ethereum make it, will it won't?

[06:30] I believe it's got the best chance based on the data now. But if it doesn't, a faster, cheaper, more scalable version might. You could go with Cardano, you could go with Avalanche, you can go with Algorand, plenty of options.

[06:43] My little hedge on my Ethereum bet is going to be Solana. By the way, any Altcoin mentioned in today's video, I will be keeping you updated on. I'll make videos, a one video per day, giving you the bad news, giving you the good news, telling you on cutting this, I'm doubling down on this.

[06:59] So if you want to stay updated on any of the coins, if you want to become an expert in crypto, subscribe to Altcoin Daily. It's a great start and it costs you nothing. And just look at the data, Solana, stablecoin, again, we know stablecoins are not going away, it's getting bigger.

[07:14] Solana, stablecoin, daily active users, just today new all time high. And again, this is in a bear market. This is when really the institutions are the only ones really transacting. This is up 236% in four months.

[07:29] We also understand that only second to Ethereum, Solana is the new institutional magnet with the most amount of money from Ethereum flowing in Seoul. So billions are flowing from Ethereum and this is all traceable on to Solana.

[07:45] Solana has attracted $381 million in ecosystem inflows over the last three months with a staggering 69% of them originating from Ethereum signaling a major capital shift.

[08:00] Again, to me, this is signal. So that's my DAP platform play. That's my smart contract platform. That's what Ethereum is. That's what Solana is. That's my bet on smart contract platforms. Obviously, growing a whole lot bigger to me, that's certain.

[08:14] And I'm choosing to put my capital into Ethereum and Sol. My next $1,000 is an AI play. I am bullish on AI. Why can't decentralized AI steal a significant piece of market share?

[08:29] As AI just eats up more mind share of the next five years, so my next $1,000 is flowing into BitTensor. You could be sitting here in Tau in five to ten years could go 200x. Why Tau is the Bitcoin of AI?

[08:43] Well, really two reasons. Number one, just like Bitcoin, similar tokenomics, there will only ever be 21 million Tau tokens ever. It's a hard cap supply.

[08:55] Right now, one Tau token is just $290 at the time of recording. And while many AI altcoins, I believe the majority will fail. 90% of crypto tokens will fail. That just like the early internet days.

[09:08] To me, Tau is betting on the infrastructure. BitTensor is the infrastructure of decentralized AI. As so many early stage startups, AI robotics,

[09:20] startups are building on Tau. Tau has subnets. So there's shoots. Shoots is a blue chip, as far subnets go. Think of this sort of like a decentralized AWS.

[09:32] There's a ready AI. Many people are insanely bullish on ready AI. So many options. And with the subnets, the quality early stage companies rise to the top, the garbage ones,

[09:44] they get taken out as new ones come in. So that's why to me, BitTensor is betting on the infrastructure. If just one of these subnets make it, that's gonna be huge exposure for the whole ecosystem. Like Bitcoin does what Bitcoin does for stranded energy.

[09:58] BitTensor does for stranded talent. So anyone anywhere in the world can compete. And coming from this man, the man who bet $25,000 on Uber back in the day before the world knew what ride sharing was

[10:13] just went not all in, but made a big bet on BitTensor Tau. Here's why. So just so people understand how I look at this. The market cap right now, Elizabeth of Tau, the ecosystem has been two to three billion dollars.

[10:27] I believe that that could become as big as Solana, let's say, or Ethereum, probably not as big as Bitcoin because Bitcoin is, you know, a phenomenon that might only be a once. And you have somebody like Michael Seller and Mr.

[10:42] buying up all the Bitcoin. I've always said there would be a better Bitcoin. And that there would be a better opportunity. I think the game of Bitcoin has ended. And it ended when Michael Seller got to three, four or five points of ownership of Bitcoin, Alex,

[10:56] and other corporate interests bought a certain amount. It's not punk rock anymore. It's not. It's a story of value, sure this, but now you have USDC and other stories of value that are not volatile, that you can get into crypto is now legal and is becoming organized.

[11:12] I had the SCC chair and the CFTC chair on all in. Did it into with them and Shama. I believe crypto now has been blessed. The rules of the road are there. So I'm very curious about what happens under that circumstance.

[11:25] Therefore, I think making a bet on a crypto project that is distributed and that solves real-world problems like startups, which is my area of expertise in yours as well as with.

[11:37] There's something there that could compound to, you know, a $500 billion market cap for, you know, Tau, which would be roughly, you know,

[11:50] for trading at two or three billion, let's put it at 2.5 billion. It's a 200 X from here. That's my base case is I think we could be sitting here and Tau in five to 10 years could go 200 X.

[12:02] So again, maybe some of these alt coins go to zero, but to me, my bet is that if AI obviously not going away and AI artificial intelligence is only going to eat up more mind share of the next three, five plus years,

[12:16] why not take a bet on decentralized AI, bet on the blue chips and watch the space grow. And that brings me to the final piece of my portfolio because I have the digital gold, I have the smart contract platform

[12:30] and I have my little high risk, yet potentially high reward decentralized AI bet, now of $1,000 remaining. By the way, for most any of the alt coins mentioned in today's video,

[12:42] I recommend Exchange Partner Bittunex because they have better liquidity and they have all the professional charts you need if you want a long, short or spot trends in crypto. Sign up now with our link below

[12:55] and claim up to $10,000. This is limited time link below and for my final $1,000, I have to choose a coin with product market fit. It actually has to still be being used

[13:09] because we're in a bear market now. So many alt coins have lost 90% of their value, 50% of their value. What alt coins fundamentally though usage wise are still gaining users, gaining adoption.

[13:23] I actually mentioned this in my video from almost two weeks ago how I would invest 1,000 in crypto in 2026. And best alt coins, this was the first alt coin featured here.

[13:36] So I'm gonna link this down below. I'm not gonna waste your time. We're not gonna go over the reasoning again, but for the final pick, check out it will be the first coin on my video here, link below. I will keep you updated on all these coins

[13:49] so like always see you tomorrow.
