Fellow Investor,
In June 2020, billionaire investor Michael Novogratz told his followers to “Get on the train” because he thought bitcoin was going to surge past the $10,000 mark…
Well, bitcoin climbed to an all-time high of over $64,000 earlier this month.
And is up more than 87% this year.
There were many solid reasons for this blistering upswing.
First, the widely anticipated bitcoin halvening last May led to a dramatic drop in the issuance of new bitcoin, making each one increasingly scarce. In fact, there are only 2.5 million bitcoin (11%) of total supply left to mine. Ever.
Additionally, amid the tragic civic crisis spreading across the country, bitcoin has become a safe haven for many retail and institutional investors in the U.S. who are looking to protect their wealth in the midst of a historical increase in money creation.
Novogratz is not the only institutional investor bullish on bitcoin. Tesla recently bought $1.5 billion in bitcoin and announced that it is now accepting bitcoin as payment and will not be converting any of these bitcoins to dollars.
Hedge fund veterans Paul Tudor Jones and Stanley Druckenmiller recently bought the flagship cryptocurrency as a hedge against volatility and inflation.
Jones indicated that he believes inflation rates will soon increase and said, “the best profit-maximizing strategy is to own the faster horse. If I am forced to forecast, my bet is it will be bitcoin.”
Cathie Wood, chief executive of Ark Investment Management, said in a recent interview, “I think we’re going to hear about more companies putting this hedge [bitcoin] on their balance sheet … particularly tech companies that understand the technology and are comfortable with it...I believe there is no better hedge against inflation than bitcoin.”
Crypto asset-backed ETFs—a whole new investment class—are gearing up to come to market in the U.S. Canada has recently approved multiple bitcoin and ether ETFs, which started off on a torrid pace. Given this success, the U.S. can't be far behind.
And if there's still any doubt that Bitcoin is on the cusp of mainstream adoption, Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs are now preparing to offer clients exposure to bitcoin.
Finally, we saved the most momentous for last: Earlier this month the industry’s flagship exchange, Coinbase, went public on Nasdaq via the largest direct listing in HISTORY. This was a watershed moment for crypto, one which saw Coinbase become 3x more valuable ($86 billion market cap) than the exchange it trades on (Nasdaq $25 billion market cap).
With huge institutions backing it up, bitcoin could be stronger than ever. Now comes the best part. We are still early in this bull cycle and network fundamentals are much stronger than the boom and bust days of 2017. It is for this reason why many analysts think bitcoin can rise above its recent all-time high of $64,671.
No doubt, crypto assets and blockchain technology are about to enter a sustained bull market as they gain robust mainstream adoption! This is Bigger than the Internet Here at Forbes, we've been keeping an eye on the bitcoin phenomenon ever since it burst onto the scene in 2008.
But we've never seen anything quite like the situation with crypto assets and blockchain technology right now. The only parallel that comes close is what happened in the 1990s with the mass adoption of the internet.
Remember? The internet was written off as a fad at first. Then there was a rush to invest, followed by a bust. The companies that survived—the Amazons, Googles and eBays—emerged stronger than ever and went on to change history.
Fast–forward to the creation of blockchain technology and bitcoin. Blockchain is a decentralized "digital ledger" that allows financial transactions to occur without a middleman, such as a bank, credit card company or government.
Because it creates a tamper–proof record more secure than any repository under the control of one entity, blockchain can simplify, streamline and automate transactions for ANY industry—including finance, logistics, supply chain management, healthcare and much, much more.
 For example, one of the top holders of blockchain patents, IBM, created a blockchain–based food platform for global users, including retailers, wholesalers and suppliers. Among those who have signed on to use the platform are Carrefour, which has more than 12,200 stores in 33 countries and co-op Topco Associates, which reaches more than 64 million customers in 15,000 stores.
In short: The faster, leaner blockchain approach is set to revolutionize the entire business landscape. Bitcoin is just the first application
of this technology That means we are still in the infancy of the blockchain revolution.
If you missed out on the big investing trends of the past two decades, here's your chance to capitalize on what is shaping up to be the biggest one yet.
Of course, just like the era of the dot–com boom, fly–by–night operators abound.
For those who are active traders, volatility provides opportunities for making profits.
There's no denying that bitcoin is a volatile investment—in January 2017 it traded for under $800 and by the end of the year it had zoomed to nearly $20,000. By the end of 2018, prices came back down to earth and ended the year near $3,750. At the end of 2019, the price had nearly doubled to $7,200. It hit the $10,000 mark in June 2020, crossed the $40,000 mark in early January and today it trades above $54,000. Risk is often measured by a security's volatility, and many savvy investors have been rewarded by bitcoin's volatility.
So, how can ordinary investors like you get in on the most reliable and profitable bets in the crypto asset and blockchain space?

at the dawn of the Internet age Like most investors, you may not know that much about crypto assets or blockchain technology, much less how to profit from it. Today there are more than 7,000 crypto assets and counting, with a total market value that topped $2.0 trillion in early April.
Which begs the question: How does one assign value to a new crypto asset? The ability to do this is what separates the speculators from investors. Steven uses a proprietary methodology in making these valuations. His proven approach ensures that you are not just shooting in the dark or, worse, watching helplessly as wild price swings occur without knowing if there's any foundation to their investments.
But here's the critical thing to keep in mind: Crypto assets and blockchain are here to stay.
According to Kevin Werbach, a professor and leading expert on business, policy and internet technology from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, "It's a new broad approach to network-based infrastructure that can be applied to just about anything." That includes legal contracts, voting records, ANYTHING requiring an immutable record.
For the sake of your financial future, you must assess crypto assets and blockchain not as a novelty or passing fad—but as the way of the future. The world is moving toward decentralization. Bitcoin is simply one more manifestation of this trend.
Additionally, there are multiple avenues to build your wealth via crypto. In addition to suggesting individual tokens in a portfolio that is up over 1,000% in the last two years, we have also constructed a portfolio of stocks that offer exposure to crypto that is up 123% since early 2019.
Let us show you just a few examples of Steven's picks… - The trillion–dollar company: This company was not only smart enough to reinvent itself in the 1990s to become a formidable player in cloud computing but it's self–aware enough to recognize the need to look beyond its own technologies to invest heavily in blockchain even if it's not in its wheelhouse. The result is this $1.9 trillion tech company that has arguably one of the most compelling blockchain offerings in the enterprise level.
- The great disrupter: This mobile credit card payment company is completely upending the traditional payments business. Its stock price is up more than 267% over the last three years—and that number is only going up as the company moves aggressively to implement its commitment to use bitcoin for payment on its system.
And here's a small sampling of the crypto assets he is recommending… - The mother of all cryptocurrencies: This cryptocurrency should be the foundational asset for anyone's crypto asset portfolio. True, it can be a volatile asset but with the SEC warming up to the idea of a first–of–its–kind ETF, we could be looking at a groundbreaking fundamental catalyst that this asset needs to make a truly fiery run. It's up 1,332%1 since we recommended it. If you don't already own it, now is the time to scoop up this asset to create life–changing gains as prices go up.
- The most future–proof coin? This coin is unique in that it addresses much of the weakness in bitcoin. It has decentralized governance, razor–sharp and highly committed development team and has a unique hybrid proof–of–work and proof–of–stake implementation. It is also arguably more secure than bitcoin: it's substantially more expensive to attack this newer currency than bitcoin. It's up 1,300%1 since it was added to the portfolio. The coin is still undervalued, but many analysts (including myself) think this coin will prove a worthy competitor to bitcoin, litecoin and bitcoin cash. The time to buy is now.
Sound like the kind of investments you'd like to have in your portfolio? You're not alone.
The majority of the world's ten largest public companies are actively supporting blockchain.
And that number is only going up, as more investors discover the moneymaking power of crypto assets—along with the truly awesome long–term prospects of blockchain technology itself. Diversification with epic potential for profits I think you'll see that investing in select crypto assets and blockchain stocks is an outstanding hedge, because they're not tied to the daily gyrations in the market.
In fact, bitcoin's uncorrelated nature and potential upside could be the antidote to challenges facing traditional portfolio diversification approaches, which are seeing bonds and equities rise at the same time.
