No channel works harder to keep you in the know about crypto.
My name is Ben.
And today we're going to be going over what I would do
if I had to invest $10,000 into crypto right now.
Now, I do want to preempt this with a couple things.
No. 1,
Happy Easter!
The Lord has risen.
There you go.
And also, the other thing about this video I want you guys to know is
I do believe the crypto markets are going to drop a little bit from here,
so this may not be the best time to get in.
But if it does drop,
I'm personally not expecting Bitcoin to drop too low below $30,000 if it does,
so it'll probably bounce back pretty quick.
I think these are decent levels to get in.
But personally, if I'm investing $10,000,
I'm probably going to, you know, be kind of waiting out a couple more months.
But I know a lot of people wanted this video.
So if I had to put $10,000 into the crypto market right now here is what I would do.
No. 1, first and foremost,
zero Bitcoin.
I'm not buying any Bitcoin right now.
I believe when you have $100,000,
it is a good idea, especially with Bitcoin around $39,000, $40,000.
Gobble up one Bitcoin.
I believe that if you can get one half to one full Bitcoin,
that is a decent move to start your portfolio.
With $100,000 portfolio,
definitely going to have some Bitcoin on there.
But right now where you're investing at, you're trying to get coins
to get gains to where you can afford a Bitcoin.
And I just don't believe that a 10th of a Bitcoin is really going to do you that much,
you know, over the next few years.
I mean, it's going to do okay,
but I think there's a lot better investments out there.
So let's get that, you know, out of the way.
However, since you cannot afford a Bitcoin, but we're investing $10,000,
you can afford one Ethereum.
So.
I'm going to estimate the price of Ethereum at $3,000 right now.
I think it's $3,050 at the current moment.
We're just going to call it $3,000.
So you're going to grab yourself one Ethereum with this portfolio.
One Ethereum.
This will be the biggest holding in your portfolio at about 30%.
I believe your portfolio should be 30-50% Bitcoin and Ethereum.
In this case, we're not going with Bitcoin. We're only going Ethereum.
So, next, we're going with--
Hey, let's throw--
throw the X up.
I ca--
I can't throw the X up on the video
because I'm holding the phone.
But the point here is No. 2, I'm going with XRP.
This will be the second biggest holding in our portfolio as this case--
as the SEC is just getting lambasted.
A lot of reward versus risk scenario here with XRP,
so we're going to go $2,000 into XRP.
So you can think of $100,000 portfolio having 30-50% Bitcoin/Ethereum.
$10,000 portfolio, you're looking at 50% of your portfolio being XRP and Ethereum,
which I think is an excellent move.
Obviously, XRP, we're waiting for the case to get over.
Price is going to explode after that.
So now let's go to our third biggest holding in our portfolio.
This is going to be a coin that I definitely believe has a very large chance
to become one of the top 10 coins.
Maybe top 5 even.
It just depends on how everything shakes out.
That is going to be Sandbox.
You've got to get yourself some Sandbox right now.
I'm putting $1,500 of the portfolio into Sandbox.
So we got $3,000 in Ethereum, $2,000 in XRP, $1500 in Sandbox.
I'll tell you, we did a video on our Hit Network TikTok
where we took clips from a meeting
where we were talking about digital city in the metaverse.
No one thinks the metaverse is going to take off.
Of the mainstream people.
No one sees what's coming.
And it just reminds me of the early days of Bitcoin.
People were laughing.
People were saying, "Nobody's ever going to use it!"
Metaverse is coming. You cannot stop it. Okay?
So, next, what we're going to do is we're going to take $3,000.
We're going to divide them into three.
We're going to pick three layer 1 protocols.
In the history of my portfolio,
layer 1 port--
layer 1 protocols have been the coins that have given me the absolute biggest gains.
I have the most gains in my portfolio from layer 1 protocols.
So, what are we going to look at first?
Obviously, we're going Cardano, right?
Obviously, we're going ADA.
And I do want to say,
you can kind of pick and choose,
you know, ones we're not going to be using today,
Solana, Terra LUNA, Polkadot,
but those are obviously coins you could put in your portfolio as well.
But the three layer 1 protocols we're going with $1,000 into each one of these
is Cardano---the upside is amazing.
The community is viral.
Staking has 70% of all the coins in existence, you know, locked up for Cardano.
So you can't go wrong with Cardano, in my opinion.
A lot of people said the price was disappointing over the bear--
over the bull market.
Price of everything was disappointing.
Cardano actually got a little bit closer to our projections than a lot of other stuff.
We originally were saying $8 to $12.
We moved that to like $10 to $12, I think, at some point, to kind of align with XRP.
It did get all the way to $3.
It spent most of the bear market at 5¢.
So, was it really a disappointment?
I think, in a vacuum, absolutely not.
Next, we're going to go with Cosmos.
Cosmos has a lot of upside.
I can see it kind of tracking along with Terra LUNA.
It may have a Terra LUNA-like explosion at some point.
The tech and the projects that use the Tendermint BFT
that underlines, you know, Cosmos is phenomenal,
and the amount of projects using it is massive.
There are projects building out on Cosmos that you didn't even know were doing that.
So we're going with Cosmos.
Tech is great.
And it's one--
it's a serial underperformer,
but I wouldn't put it in the category of underperforming like Tezos
or, you know, Litecoin, some of these that we've seen just not perform well at all.
It's performed.
It just hasn't hit its peak, I believe.
Its peak and a run in the rest of the market.
I do think that there's definitely potential for that to still happen.
So, next, we're going with Avalanche.
I think the Avalanche ecosystem is one of the most interesting in all of crypto.
And--
I'm shocked that Terra LUNA is the one that's ran up and not Avalanche.
I think Avalanche has a great chance to be one of the top, you know,
four to five layer 1 protocols that we're going to see.
Will we ultimately see Ethereum defeat everything and nothing else work, nothing else run?
I don't believe so.
I believe nothing will defeat Ethereum.
But I believe we're going to be living in a decentralized Web3 world
to where there's going to be a lot of competitors,
there's going to be a lot of layer 1 protocols that at least get some action, some jazz.
So, you know, now, eventually, one day, they may all feed up into one.
You kind of think of the search engine wars in the early days of the dot-com bubble.
You had Google, Dogpile, HotBot, something 27--
Ask Jeeves, of course.
He's still standing there waiting with a butler tray asking you, you know, what you need, so.
These are projects that--
or these are a good example of what we might see with layer 1s,
where, for a while, they all kind of coexist, and then one ultimately does win.
But I think it's going to take longer than, you know,
what the actual winner of the search engine wars was,
which obviously was Google or Alphabet. It's the company behind it now.
Alright. So, next, we're going to take-- we're going to be very speculative, okay?
It's okay to be speculative with 5% of your portfolio.
That's what I believe.
So we're going outside of the top 100,
and I'm going to pick a coin that's going to surprise a lot of people here
to put my last $500 into.
That's going to be Celsius.
Celsius has gotten pounded.
It's down like 30% for the week.
It's getting crushed.
A lot of people are saying, "Oh, well, you know, it's not--" you know.
"It's not the same as it was."
And I agree.
I'm disappointed with the decisions that were made,
but I'm sure their hands were tied, regulation-wise.
But what I will tell you on this
is similar to what we saw with THORChain over the summer
when they got really, really bad news
and they get their life chopped out from under them,
they rise,
even a rise back to the level that they were.
And Celsius is at a very, you know, kind of thick line of support right now.
I'm looking for Celsius to get a bounce.
So this is a little shorter term action for Celsius.
And that's what you want to do with this speculative piece of your portfolio.
If Celsius does get a big bounce back,
and let's say you double that money,
or you raise that money by 40-50%,
then you want to consider taking those profits
and now rolling them into another speculative coin in your portfolio
or maybe rolling them up into more Cardano or more XRP.
And, guys, if you do want to buy XRP,
I got a lot people that ask me this question,
KuCoin and Uphold,
those are two exchanges for Americans where you can go and you can get that coin.
For non-Americans, Bybit is a great place to go get XRP.
So I did just want to let you guys know about that.
So let's break down this portfolio real quick as we end this video.
We're going to buy one Ethereum.
We're going to buy $2,000 worth of XRP.
We're going to buy $1,500 worth of Sandbox.
We're going to buy $1,000 worth of Cardano,
$1,000 worth of Avalanche,
$1,000 worth of Cosmos.
And we'll put our last $500 into Celsius token, CEL token, and that is a short-term play.
You're not going to want to really hold that for, you know, the next 10-20 years
like you might some of these other coins.
So there you go. There's your $10,000 video.
That's all I got.
Go Hawks today!
Be blessed.
BitBoy out.
