This is mostly an update of the big 3 decentralized platforms. Ethereum, Cardano, & Polkadot. My long-term, locked-in-picks for massive long-term ROI.
Now - as many of you know - there are a million different ways to invest. However, here is a simple strategy to build your portfolio from when getting into a sector as volatile as cryptocurrency: 1. Keep it simple 2. Buy the blue-chips when they are on sale.
Blockchain will be the backbone of so much more than just value and money. It will support supply chains, data identity, recordkeeping, AI marketplaces, DAO governance social networks, gaming of the next level - true digital worlds being built for the future.
Idealistic? Sure. Far-fetched? Not anymore.
This is a simple a 5 year investing proposal that is simplistic, and will get you immediate high-return exposure to this life-altering distributed ledger Decentralized blockchain technology. Alter this formula as you wish.
These next 5 years will take persistence, and even perhaps frustration, (stay away from leveraged trading). But the risk/return ratio is immense just from buying blue-chip ALT coins.
The best fundamentals bulls right now? Ethereum, Cardano, Polkadot. Vitalik, CH, Dr. G Wood.
That's it. That is my fantastic investing strategy proposal. Dollar cost average aggressively into these 3 coins in times when the market is down 50% or more on the weekly/monthly candles - like today! Repeat weekly/monthly for 5 years straight.
It is now halfway through July, 2021, and the market has been trending between 30-40K USD BTC for well over a month now. There is a real feeling of market suppression, but this means lower prices to buy. Take advantage, right away but make sure to have plenty of buying power throughout the rest of the year. Inflation's most recent report in the USA was a ~5.4% increase. The USA publicly registered institutions in the traditional markets are releasing Q2 reports throughout this month. Will any of them announce adding crypto to their portfolios this past quarter? Thanks to
@SherblockHolmes tweet for this schedule. >>
Here is the hard math: its already inside the protocols! Here is the easy math: (I've done the tokenomics analyzation for you - so you don't have to - all 3 projects are damn favorable.) Simply get exposure to these 3 wonderful digital currencies/assets at selloff prices and get staking!
Simple strategy: Consistently Dollar cost average into these 3 magic beanstalks. Stake your (ADA, DOT, (cold storage ETH - unless you can buy 32 of them). Repeat.
#1: Ethereum Market Cap: $220,492,924,178 USD; Fully Diluted Market Cap: $220,458,309,968 USD
Ethereum's London hard fork is on Aug 4th and the tokenomics of ETH are going to be so favorable.
Arthur Cheong (Arthur0x; leads DeFiance Capital building 100K into 500M these past 3 years) says that "ETH's market-effect is too much for most smart-contract platforms to overcome" on the Bankless podcast yesterday. Episode 73 had Arthur0x as quoting he believes "Ethereum is going to remain dominant in the Total Value Locked (TVL) metrics and estimates that DeFi will remain on Ethereum and range anywhere from 80-90% of the total defi protocol level crypto market Cap. He offers a uniquely Chinese view to the viewpoint of Asia on this market (Arthur lives in the Crypto haven of Singapore).
I tend to agree with this analysis and think this is an excellent DCA'ing opportunity into this revolutionary blockchain that is the Ethereum ecosystem. ETH is the gas/money of Ethereum.
5 year highest price-range prediction: $16-26K USD per ETH
#2: Cardano Market Cap: $38,726,488,281 USD; Fully Diluted Market Cap: $54,791,604,681 USD
A different (soon-to-be) smart-platform competitor to Ethereum - Cardano is an academically backed, turing-complete (through the smart contract language Plutus) juggernaut that is launching its smart contracts this September. This release - called the Alonzo hard fork - is the most anticipated upgrade in Cardano's history.
Yes - this has taken longer than most had hoped. But as Charles Hoskinson was quoted as saying. "We are doing things right. When you're rebuilding the financial infrastructure of Humanity, we felt it was best not to take the "move fast and break shit approach."
I cannot wait to see what Dapps and ideas have been materializing inside the Plutus Playground.
Mark it on the calendar! This is going to be a massive news event and anticipation is already building. This naturally should be price positive for the blockchain giant.
Few are selling their ADA at this point, as the staking system of 4-7% APY is very simplistic and steady. The developing world is already incorporating this into their Governmental framework (in Ethiopia and Tanzania) and that is where IOHK (Cardano's development arm) is focusing. How can you put a price on the future growth potential of developing economies with young, ambitious workforces? BULLISH.
My 5 year highest price-range prediction: $12-18 USD per ADA
#3: Polkadot Market Cap: $12,990,192,793 USD; Fully Diluted Market Cap: $14,526,001,475 USD
Polkadot is currently ranked 7th on the Cryptocurrency Market Cap rankings. (excluding Tether and USDC). However, it has the potential to go explosive if Bitcoin and Ethereum are to return to their dominant push higher in 2021 and into 2022. Trading at its All-time-High of $50 USD per DOT as of the middle of May, you can now scoop up a DOT for $13-14.
The fundamentals are revolutionary enough to understand I am probably am never selling most of my DOT stash for the next 5 years. I will be stacking (and exploring the Defi DOT universe excitedly). As more and more Polkadot parachains come online, this ecosystem is going to be a monster of utility and value. Current staking rewards are approximately around 12-14% (yup 12-14)! Here is a very handy staking guide written by @paragism on Feb 22, 2021. https://www.publish0x.com/paragism/polkadot-staking-guide-xykmgny
My 5 year highest price-range prediction: $180-320 USD per DOT
Please understand that my forecasts are estimates and should never be mistaken as financial advice. If you have done your research into cryptocurrency - then you will also understand the world is rapidly changing towards systems we could never have imagined possible. Only a few people truly understood the future potential that Satoshi Nakamoto and Bitcoin had created - 3 of the greatest minds who did see it coming - Vitalik Buterin, Charles Hoskinson, and Gavin Wood - went on to create these functional, alternative, blockchain system improvements over Bitcoin.
We understand Bitcoin's market-shifting role in all of this, as it is of course a good idea to have BTC price exposure early on/right away moving forward. But I think the real returns are in the Blue Chip altcoin cryptocurrencies. This bull-cycle has been shorter than the two previous cycles, in other words, its not over.
See this chart from https://cryptopotato.com/analysis-the-current-bitcoin-bullish-cycle-could-last-until-2022/ to get a perspective on this current cycle's completion. As Benjamin Cowen (Into the Cryptoverse - Youtube) often says - "time is on our side." Benjamin Cowen is a nuclear engineer PHD with a great analytics channel focusing on the mid-long-term price potentials. His extended market-cycle theory for this year/2022 makes absolute sense based on previous bull-cycles. See the chart below to get a big-picture grasp of this this fourth cycle's current journey.
Long term, these 3 platforms are locked and loaded for massive world-wide adoption. Of course, there are others - go ahead and comment your favorites, I have some lower-cap moonshot gems too. But if you are looking for the lowest risk - these 3 platforms ETH, ADA, DOT are locks for good investment returns down the road - these are undoubtedly the frontrunners to run the blockchain internet infrastructure. Stack them, stake them, and get ready to thank yourself in 2026.
The Smart Contract Blockchain Revolution is coming.
Cheers, to all the readers and crypto-inspired humans, I look forward to chatting further through a DAO social media post sometime later in the decade.
