I'm often asked the question: how would you start over if you only had $1,000? What are the steps you would take? How would you think, and everything in between to turn that $1,000 into something significant, into something worthwhile trying to achieve?
Well, that is going to be the answer in this video. I'm not going to make this video some basic thing about five or six altcoins and sell at this level. While you'll get the answers to that question at the very end of this video—with the market caps, the predictions, and all the levels involved—I need to take you through some of the most important things that any investor in crypto should do.
The very framework, the groundwork, that makes you an even half-decent investor to begin with. It's all up here, guys. I can teach you; you can follow, but if you don't apply, there's no point in even beginning.
But before we get into the amazing stuff in today's video, I want you guys to hit a like on the video. Importantly, if you find yourself learning something new or if you enjoy yourself along the way, also the subscribe button is right next to it. It would be a massive shame and kind of piss off the subscribe button if you didn't click it while you were down there.
Let's begin.
Now, before I get into what the goal here is—and this is by all means the most important thing—you need to begin asking yourself when you start investing in crypto. I need to say, guys, if you don't have $1,000, let's say you have more or less, or you already are invested in crypto and are just watching this to learn things, I commend you, by the way. Because a lot of people in crypto don't often want to learn things to help them. They want just the top altcoins of the day or of the week, and they want to know how many possible multiples it could get, even though no one in this industry—not even the cabal—knows where these coins will top out to.
So again, I want to commend you, and I wanted to make that an apparent point because not often do people get commended for putting in work in this industry. That's why I think most people don't want to do it; it's because we just don't talk about it. Right? And that's, I think, a massive reason why 95% of people actually lose money in crypto: because they don't do things like this.
The number one thing you should do first off, before you even start buying coins, is ask yourself: how many multiples do you need? Now, we know we're starting off with $1,000. You may have a different amount starting off with, but the reason we ask ourselves this is because if you want a billion dollars, you're going to need, like, whatever that is, 100 million x. We can't do that.
So what do we actually do here? Well, we need to go, "Okay, how much do we need to make based on what goals we want to achieve out of the market?" What I mean by this is create tangible things. Do you need to buy 1,000 diapers for your three children? Do you need to, let's just say, pay for renovations for the house, buy a new car, do car renovations—whatever it may be? Materialize a goal and work out how much money is required to achieve that goal.
What is a must and mandatory? What is a need, not a want? I want a nice Rolex; everyone does, right? But that's not a need. A need is to buy food for next week. This is what I'm talking about here.
So, with $1,000, we may need to make, let's just say, $10,000. Okay? And if you ask me, I think a reasonable expectation with $1,000 is between a 5x to about a 15 or 20x. Okay? That, to me, is reasonable at the current point in the market.
I'm going to get in a second here to show you a portfolio and structure that will allow you to get around that $20K mark, which is to the higher side. I think any more than this and you begin going into—you have to buy your smaller market cap projects, which in my personal opinion, I don't think you should be doing right now.
Again, this is not financial advice; you can do whatever the hell you want with your own money, but this is just my input based on my knowledge and my expertise in the market.
Okay, so my thoughts are: don't be greedy, especially if you're starting off new. You're going to want that greed to come in. You're going to feel this massive and this really, I guess, energetic feeling in crypto where money just keeps spawning out of thin air. Let me remind you: it's paper money until you sell. Okay? It's all just immersive, fugazi, casino playing with Monopoly money at this point. You need to sell.
Don't be greedy; don't go for more than what you've been fortunate enough to be blessed with by being in the market right now.
Number two: if you're new to crypto, the simpler the plan, the better. I'm going to kind of get you guys to remember that for later in the video.
Number three: if $1,000 is a lot of money to you, leverage this bull run to start the next with more capital. It's called multicycle compounding. If you make $10K this cycle and you reinvest it all after tax, you might have $7K. If you 10x that, that's $70K. But because in the next bear market, we'll be getting in quite low, opposed to being now, which is midway through the end of the cycle, you're not going to really have that luxury.
Okay? So it's better off you just make the money you can this cycle. Call it for what it is. I mocked up; I got into crypto late. Let's make the big money next time around.
Number four: buying anything less than a $200 million market cap with more than 20% of your portfolio is very dangerous, at least in my opinion, right now. You may disagree with me. I hold a bit more of a conservative outlook on the market because I think a 500% or a 900% gain is very good, yet in crypto that seems to be shunned upon. If you're not getting at least a 20x, something's wrong with you.
So just reshape your mind, guys. Don't look for too low market caps because while coins at low market caps might sound appealing because there's more potential upside, that's the key word: potential upside. All right? Just because they can doesn't mean they will.
The next thing I want you guys to think about here before we go into the coins is: what does the next 12 months look like from this current point in time? You see, what people tend to forget is where we are in the market. People will still be buying coins at the very, very top peak, at maybe Bitcoin being at $250,000 or $300,000. They will continue to buy at the very last point, even after the market has begun to come down.
You have to have a very cyclical outlook on the market in the sense that you have to look at the market as what it is: a four-year cycle that is repeating. At least right now, things may change, of course. I'm not going to talk about that in this video, but ultimately we really have 12 months of the cycle left. We are pretty much at the equivalent of right here.
So the next 3 to 6 months, as you can see, I believe this will happen again. You'll see most of the money coming into the market. Whatever happens in that last 6 months, well, it's anyone's guess at this point in time. Some people expect us to have a second crash like we did back in 2021. Some people expect us, like myself, to just keep going up.
We don't know, and that's the point. Make the most of the first 6 months if you can.
Is there more specifically a period to be extra concerned with? Yes, I think definitely the last quarter—September, October, November, and December. So those four months, a little bit into quarter 3 here, this is the time to be a little bit concerned. Okay? That is likely when we'll find a top, and you don't really want to be juggling with a large chunk of your portfolio at that point in time.
So how do we prevent ourselves from juggling with our portfolio? Because it's very easy for us to not have any conviction in the coins I'm going to talk about today, or whether you bought coins other influencers have spoken about and you've just aped into them. You have no conviction, and what that means is you will sell at the first sign of trouble.
Or better yet, if the influencer doesn't talk about that coin for that day or that week, you panic, you sell. Again, no conviction because you didn't research, and that means you end up chasing your tail by selling at a loss, likely, and buying another coin that's hot news of the week.
Then when that coin goes out of favor, you end up again losing money, and then the cycle continues until you end up in quarter 3 or quarter 4 of the cycle with making no money, and you're in a very dangerous spot.
So that being said—and believe you me, that happens way too often—the best chance we have is finding the right areas right now that are going to attract most of the money.
Now, the best way I can describe this is by looking at gold. This is the map of Australia and where most gold is found. Now, if you are looking for gold, you're not going to look for gold in the middle of nowhere where there's been no gold ever found. Maybe even based on the very rocks themselves, the formation of the earth, there's no gold that's going to be there. Regardless, you want to look in and around the hot spots, of course.
Right? So that is what I'm trying to do here, guys. I'm trying to get us—or myself, at least—again, this is not financial advice—to buy into the areas that will see the most money flow into them, let alone the coins in those areas.
Okay? Like this chart here shows: if you're looking into, let's just say, for example, social coins, all right? This is my personal subjective input on the narrative strength. But if you are looking into the narrative or the niche of social coins, it is much harder for you to find the coin that will hit in terms of finding the red dot here amongst the sea of all the other social coins because it's so flooded.
And these coins in this narrative aren't massively interesting, at least right now, to the market. So you have a harder time finding a coin that will do well versus a coin over here, like gaming, AI, DeFi, or RWA coins, for example, that you pretty much have to try to find a coin that won't do well.
It's the complete opposite, and that's what I'm trying to say here with the gold. We are trying to find gold here and work in this rather than trying to find little pockets of gold that might come up over here, being almost next to impossible.
Okay? And if you're wondering, "What's this narrative you speak of?" Narrative niche—this is always the peak all-time high of any coin, at least 99% of the time in crypto. So if you find a quality narrative, again, AI, gaming, real assets, DeFi, in this cycle, and you find a half-decent coin in this area, it's going to explode when all other AI coins, so to speak, pump at that time.
I've put countless hours into the research that goes behind narratives and why a group of coins pump together. It's all free on the channel, so I'm not going to explore it again in this video. But again, all you need to know is if you can find what that coin is primarily known for—like Render is known as an AI coin, for example.
If you look at OMI, OMI is a real asset coin. They will pump independently, but with all the coins known for that topic or niche as well. So some will be underperforming narratives; some will be overperforming narratives. Like I said to you before, the ones I think are a 10 ranked out of 10 will perform the best.
Some are going to be synchronized with Bitcoin; some will be late, like gaming, which pumped actually after Bitcoin's all-time high in the last cycle, which can be a little bit nerve-wracking if you're holding coins like that. And some may pump early, like we've seen here with HBAR, XRP, XLM, and so on. These narratives can pump early as well.
So if we can single out some of the top narratives, like the ones I have on screen here that have all performed quite well recently on the sort of January pump we saw on January 1st, then we can already have, based on other data as well, a pretty good insight into how these areas, let alone the coins, will perform from there.
We know they'll do well. Like AI coins are already glaring to us here, jumping up about almost 30% since January 1st, gives us a great indication that they're likely going to perform very well this cycle. Same with RWA and gaming coins. Meme coins and DeFi coins have also had a great pump here from the start of the year as well.
Maybe they're not doing so well over the last six months, but compared to other narratives, these five are by far and away the most popular, I think, so far of the bull run. So we know to look for the big narratives, and I've pointed those out too.
But what about the specific coins? Well, before I get into what those are, one other way we're going to kind of need to leverage a plan here to turn some amount of money that will end up with you based on just the multiples of the coins themselves, we'll have to sort of turn that and multiply that even higher to get more than what we kind of need.
Right? So if we need to get to 15 or 20x, it's hard for us to find coins these days that can comfortably do that that aren't strictly low market cap coins. So we're going to need to leverage this, which is sort of like a single cycle compounding plan.
Those of you who've heard me say the multicycle compounding plan, where you make your money this cycle, sell out of everything, and then buy back in the next bear market again—you know, compounding—it's the same thing but doing it within individual coins and therefore narratives for this cycle.
So what this looks like is going from, you know, buying different narratives—utility coins, gaming coins, AI coins—like this black surfer down here. And then when the narrative pops off, selling all of your utility coins here and then putting some of the proceeds you've made from those coins into narratives or coins that have yet to pop off.
So again, we're cycling money we've made from the early pump narratives into the narratives of the coins that haven't quite pumped. Now, the reason why I wanted to add this as a personal preference is because, as I said before, you know, I told you guys to remember the part where you kind of want to be as simple as possible as a beginner.
Well, this adds a lot of complexity, and you will definitely go wrong if you do not track your portfolio like I have here. I created a bull run tracker sheet for you guys for your portfolio. If you don't have a tool like this or you don't want to put the effort into tracking things and doing the management behind this, then that ain't for you.
So keep it simple, stupid, right? And just don't even bother about doing this. This, though, will pretty much help you maximize your returns. It'll help you turn around $7,000 from the $1,000, so a 7x, into closer to a 10x or more.
Okay? Depending on how much money you use of the proceeds, this can go south because any money you put back into the market, of course, you're risking that not performing well. It's as simple as that.
And in this case, I speak quite often about not being the FOMO guy, right? Not being the guy to jump into a narrative late. We're definitely not doing that with this particular plan. Again, we're buying the coins that have yet to have their narrative pump.
You must be able to know if a coin's pumped off news or an isolated event, like again a partnership or an announcement, versus the narrative. If one of your coins you think hasn't pumped, you maybe miss a narrative pump on one of the coins, and so you buy into it, and it doesn't perform well, you screwed up because you bought a coin that's already had its massive peak, its all-time high.
So you have to know to kind of buy a coin that has yet to have that universal peak with the rest of the niche.
So what are the coins? Well, before I get into them, I need to mention very quickly here: you must, when building a portfolio, assess your own risk tolerance. If you are very risk-averse in the sense that you can't really be risky, okay? You don't want to buy risky coins because maybe you haven't given yourself the ability to lose any of the money you're putting in the market.
Right? If you can't lose $1,000, you're best off forgetting about the high multiples and just choosing very, very safe coins. Okay? Whereas if you're someone who's risk-on and you can afford even a certain percentage of your portfolio to lose—maybe that's $200 out of $1,000—well then you can afford to put maybe $200 bucks into mid-risk and high-risk coins.
Okay? And this is broken up based on the market cap size. So you can see here the high-risk, extremely high-reward coins—these coins are under $100 million market cap. The coins that are low-risk but low-reward are Bitcoin and Ethereum, so above a $25 billion market cap.
So that's kind of the way you break it up. You can also break this up as well depending on how many multiples you're looking for. Obviously, no matter how big or small the coin is, if you look for a 50x, it's still a 50x. A $100K market cap 50xing is still very risky because that coin is small and unknown and highly risky to everyone.
Does that make sense? Versus a 5x, it's still risky because you're looking for a 400% gain, but it's less risky than obviously looking for a 50x.
So giving this into consideration here, I've picked 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 coins in the low-risk, mid-reward tier. I've picked four coins in the mid-risk, high-reward, and one coin in the extremely high-reward but higher-risk category.
So what are these coins? Well, Nia is hitting very important narratives: AI and Web 3 layer one, technically also hitting AI agents as well. Render is an AI coin. Injective, Unown, and Beam—these hit a wide variety of different narratives, as you can see here.
Importantly, though, don't get carried away doing narratives. A lot of you guys think of every possible narrative coins known for because technically Nia is known as a DeFi coin as well, right? But to me, it's not a primary narrative. It's not going to pump with the DeFi coins you might think it should, or maybe again it has a good reason to, but it doesn't mean it will.
What is the immediate thought you get when you think of that coin? It's a Web 3 layer one coin; it's an infrastructure play, and it's AI. Those are the two most important things.
Now, Arrow is DeFi and base ecosystem. It's very important we mix in here two of the most powerful ecosystem plays, which is base. And as you can see over here with Render, the Solana ecosystem as well. As a matter of fact, actually, Wormhole arguably is Solana as well. I didn't add that in here, so we have Wormhole as well for interoperability, right? It adds in that cross-chain capabilities.
We have Moro, Ather, and Spectral. Okay? Spectral is about a $140 million market cap right now, so just over the red tier. But either way, I've added it in because it's still technically a small coin. It's very, very tiny.
Okay? So this mixed together is going to allow us to be very safe. A lot of the green coins you can see here, whilst also mixing in a good variety of the little bit of extra multiples we may need to make up with.
So here are the coins. Okay? I've given you the average buy price. I've actually rounded up for most of these. So if you—again, I'm not saying this is what you guys should go ahead and do. This is not financial advice, of course. But hypothetically, if you were to go and buy these coins right now, you'd get better prices than what these currently are.
This is the amounts depending on how much we invested in each. So you can see here for the very, very high-risk, high-reward and for the very low-risk, lower-reward coins, we've kind of pulled some money out of those and put it mainly in the yellow coins here.
So the model has a nice mix in between each, which is, of course, these ones right here. So this portfolio is also very conservative, which means—and the reason I've done this—if someone was to look at this hypothetically and say to themselves, "I want to copy this," and these sell levels, at least they're getting out somewhat safe.
If they want to increase these, they always can. It's easier to increase than it is to decrease. So starting off nice and conservative is always a good thing.
We can see the multiples over here and the market cap sizes each of these coins will be at each of these sell prices. So I know you guys like to talk about, "Is that possible?" Well, I think all of these are possible, obviously, in ascending to descending order as we do have the large to smaller cap project.
So out of this, we get a profit of $6,300. Okay? A revenue of $7,300. Now, that's great. That's great, but of course, that's not even a 10x.
Now, I don't know what your specific plans would be for $1,000. For my portfolio, I would try to get that to $10K. I would try to get a revenue of $10,000 in there because the next bull run, I knew if I played my cards even half right, I would take that $10K, pay about 30% tax, so I'd pretty much have profit like $5K or $6K.
I would use that $6K profit plus the $1K revenue, so about $7,000 in the next bear market to buy as much Bitcoin as I could. When Bitcoin 2 or 3x's after about, you know, two to three years after the bear market, I would rotate that Bitcoin into altcoins.
Therefore, in the meantime, I've turned that, let's just say, $7K into about $21K. And then $21K, I can look for a good 15x from much lower levels than the equivalent of today in the next cycle, which means you can pretty much look again for a 10 to 20x.
So I think it's quite reasonable at that point. So, you know, you can make quite a lot of money, guys, if you just do the multicycle compounding from $1,000.
Now, with all this being said, just make sure you plan all of this out with proper exit levels. I made a sheet here in the Bull Run cheat sheet available in the private community level one and above has access to this.
Guys, you put in three numbers. So with Near Protocol, for example, let's say the average buy price is $6. We plan to get out at $35, and we have 13.33 tokens.
So what we do here is $6 average buy price, $35 average sell price, and 13.33 tokens is what we currently own. This gives you how many multiples you're looking for, what your profit target is, and all the rest of it.
Okay? But what this importantly does is give you all the sell levels you may possibly want and reasons as to why you may want to use these. It's all automated; you don't have to worry about creating sell levels.
This is so important to do. Most people won't do this. Most people think, "Hey, I'm just going to go ahead and sell it all at once. I trust myself not to be greedy." Oftentimes, you say that now, when the time comes, you're going to get greedy.
Okay? Trust me, you don't have to, but again, I think most people can't do that.
Right? And lastly, make sure you trust everything. Failure to do so opens you up to be part of that massive statistic, and that goes as well in terms of tracking everything.
Again, this is completely free and available for anyone in the private community level one and above.
So guys, I hope that makes sense. I have a very clear plan. If I was starting new, I'd make $10K out of this cycle by doing that plan. That's a conservative sell price on those coins, so we can probably boost those up a little bit more and then do that 10% single cycle compounding plan into each of the narratives.
That should get us, you know, $10K or above. And then in the next bear market, I'll be buying my Bitcoin and doing my thing then.
So I hope you have enjoyed this video. It's a lot to cover; it's a lot to digest. But again, this is kind of what you have to do when you're investing in crypto. This is how the market works, and this is ultimately what matters.
So thank you all. I'll talk to you soon. Take good care of yourselves. Bye-bye.
