AI Summary

The eight crypto picks are Zcash, Midnight, Ethereum, Near, Solana, Hyperliquid, Ondo, and Tao. Zcash is valued for using zero-knowledge proofs in practice, while Midnight is presented by Charles Hoskinson as a privacy-focused smart-contract platform that can do more than Zcash. Ethereum has a robust and growing ecosystem, institutional activity, and momentum toward its best Q3. Near is positioned as a dark horse with sharding and cross-chain capabilities. Solana is gaining capital and activity through tokenized assets and financial infrastructure. Hyperliquid is associated with a potential fully compliant expansion into the United States. Ondo is partnering with BlackRock to launch tokenized investment portfolios. Tao, the Bittensor token, has a fixed supply of 21 million and rewards participants who develop better AI models or solve subnet problems.

Key Points

  • Zcash — Sergey Brin values its revolutionary technology, including the practical use of zero-knowledge proofs.
  • Midnight — Charles Hoskinson says it supports private smart contracts, private asset transfers, and a TypeScript-style programming language called Compact.
  • Ethereum — institutional and private-company activity, smart-money accumulation, and a potential best Q3 are cited as sources of momentum.

00:00 We've seen um an incredible explosion. >> Midnight can do far more than what Zcash does. That Near is sort of what Ethereum aimed at being. >> Mike is also working to bring hyperlid into the United States. >> Nowadays, I look at things like Zcash, for example. >> Get rich in crypto without getting lucky. This is totally possible if you follow the right people.

00:26 Somebody needs to tell you the good coins like these versus the coins you might want to avoid this cycle like these. Listen, today's video it's not financial advice. This is all just my opinion, but I've been in crypto for 8 years. Most people have no idea what they're talking about. I do. My name is Aaron Arnold of Altcoin Daily. It took me eight years to learn the secrets of the altcoin market and I'm going to teach you everything in this video in only 12 minutes hopefully.

01:06 Let's get started. Follow along. Here's my list. Top eight coins to get rich in crypto without getting lucky. Absolutely destroy the like button. If you want to see more videos like this, send this video to one friend who is also into crypto just like you. The more people who watch, share, and engage with this video, the higher these coins go. Coin number one making our list is Zcash.

01:38 We've talked about Zcash before. Well, now a Google co-founder is talking about it. Just like Google, he likes Zcash for its revolutionary technology. I'm not talking about Larry Page, Google co-founder. I'm talking about Sergey Brin, Google co-founder. If there is one person who understands technology and network effect, it is this man right here. Zcash makes our list for this very reason.

02:06 Nowadays I look at things like Zcash for example the fact that people are using the zero knowledge proof which is very theoretical computer science just you know pretty recently and actually using it in the wild I mean and it doesn't seem like it should be possible to even have that work to be honest I haven't I've tried to get through the math myself I haven't quite made it through uh it's really mindboggling so I I see the future as taking these kind of or very researchy kind of out there ideas and making them real.

02:40 >> Listen, I like Zcash, but I want to find the next Zcash. Now, what if you could find something newer and smaller than Zcash currently, but with even better technology? Well, that is midnight or night according to Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson, who articulates in this clip why Midnight can do far more than what Zcash currently does. Listen for yourself and tell me what you think about this in the comments below.

03:11 Midnight can do far more than what Zcash does. Midnight has private smart contracts. It's equivalent to Bitcoin to Ethereum where you can send Ether like you would a Bitcoin, but then you have smart contracts with Solidity. You could send Knight or other assets on the Midnight Ledger like you do Zcash and have the same level of privacy, but then also you have compact a TypeScript style programming language and you can write smart contracts that are private and execute them privately.

03:38 It's a massive, massive upgrade. >> Ethereum is a no-brainer to put on this list. We talk about Ethereum all the time. Hugely bullish on Ethereum, especially with its robust and growing ecosystem. All different sorts of metrics. We are seeing Wall Street institutions, private companies building on Ethereum, launching on Ethereum, smart money accumulating Ethereum.

04:02 And with Ethereum getting ready to print its best Q3 ever, there is so much momentum behind Ethereum. There is so much more fuel left in the gas tank in my opinion. Next coin making our list today is Near. Near is kind of the dark horse of this cycle. And Mert in this interview clip on the Unchained podcast perfectly articulates why what Zcash is to Bitcoin.

04:35 Near is to Ethereum. Zcash is privacy money. Near is how that money moves. Near is the market of markets. Near makes our list today. This is the bull case. >> This is like the dream of Bitcoin DeFi actually coming true just not on Bitcoin and not a Bitcoin layer 2, but with Zcash. Does Does that make sense? I I hope like Bitcoin people don't get mad at me but but I was just feeling like so Zcash and Bitcoin are very similar obviously except of course Zcash has the ability to have these shielded transactions and so if

05:12 you look at it in that way then Mir is what is like enabling people to kind of you know use DeFi with with their Zcash with their store of value. Um what do you guys think of that? If you can kind of say that Zcash is an alternative to Bitcoin and some people will say it's a better Bitcoin but perhaps you can just say it's different with different trade-offs for different people.

05:37 You can I think also make the same argument that near is sort of what Ethereum aimed at being right if you remember this the sharding road map right where Ethereum wished to scale via sharding. Well, who actually did that? Okay, Near did. And then what about sort of this being the hub where you connect different sort of chains? Well, Near is demonstra demonstrabably doing that right now um via Near intense.

06:03 And so there's kind of two parallels to both Bitcoin and Ethereum. >> Salana is turning into a powerhouse. Most people do not realize that Salana is getting bigger, better, and much faster. The amount of capital moving on chain into the Salana ecosystem keeps hitting personal milestones every single day. A lot of capital is flowing into Salana. Most people do not know this, but Salana apps generate more revenue than Hyperlquid, Ethereum, and Robin Hood combined, at least in the last 24 hours.

06:41 The tokenization super cycle is here. And quite simply put, Salana is one of the main protocols leading the charge. Salana's new chief of strategy officer, Rachel Conlin, explains how Salana is part of the token super cycle happening now. >> I think that the idea and the concept of the token super cycle, which we're in now, this is not a a theme or a future facing kind of metatra.

07:10 This is what we're in at the moment, is this idea that all value is becoming digital native. Um so you know I I think where we are at the moment is you know we've seen um an incredible explosion of stable coins of currencies but of you know real world tokenized assets. We're seeing credit funds equities come on chchain. So this isn't just about looking at it through the lens of like 247 access to capital markets.

07:34 This is an entire reworking of what is the financial infrastructure. um you know even um going as far as agentic payments and and the the role that um blockchain plays in in that as the supporting role. So for for me um you know the token super cycle is what we're living in at the moment. It's what we all hoped you know we would get to and and it's that thesis of you know the entire um financial value chain is being remodeled.

08:03 >> Again guys smash the like button if you're getting value today. Send this video to a friend who also wants to know the top coins looking forward. Most people do not realize that Hyperlquid is coming to the US. The largest capital market in the world is about to open its doors and its bank accounts to Hyperlquid. And that's not according to me. That is according to the top of the top regulators.

08:29 Chairman Celig authorized the first ever true Bitcoin perpetual futures contract on a CFTC registered exchange. First time I understand that Mike is also working to bring Hyperlquid into the United States in a fully compliant and legal fashion. Ono is Black Rockckbacked. We have known this for quite some time. Well, Black Rockck is doubling down. Maybe you'd even call this tripling down on Ando.

09:00 And for that reason, Ando makes our list today with the news that Black Rockck is teaming up with Ono to bring portfolios onchain. Like, this is a reason to be bullish on. >> Black Rockck, the world's largest asset manager, is moving deeper into blockchain technology by teaming up with Ando to launch investment portfolios that will trade as digital tokens.

09:22 The three tokens launched today are based on portfolio strategies developed by BlackRock for Ono. The move marks the first time investors can get exposure to these strategies through a token instead of something like a brokerage account. Can you explain how this collaboration came about to begin with and how it all works? >> Yeah, and maybe Tal even zoom out further.

09:44 I think in a in a lot of ways this is a play on the progression of crypto from a $3 trillion cottage industry to a a hundred trillion dollar technology that's going to power global markets. And so we've been very focused at Andondo on building the infrastructure to power open always on global capital markets. But it had to start and to your question, how did this come about with our Black Rockck?

10:05 It had to start by getting these assets onchain. And so we're really excited to launch the first ando intelligent portfolios today. But again, the first step was getting the assets on chain and we've done that through tokenized equities, tokenized ETFs, tokenized treasuries. And then the second step was really about what we just delivered today with Ando intelligent portfolios is packaging these assets into professionally curated diversified instantly investable digital return streams that can be delivered in a single

10:40 portfolio token powered by best-in-class asset allocation and security selection. And again, that's what we deliver today. Uh the launch of the first ono intelligent portfolios, three of which are powered by BlackRock. And for someone that spent 20 years in the ETF industry, this is kind of the spy moment, the spy moment for onchain finance. Final coin making our list today is an AI play and also a crypto with rather bullish tokconomics.

11:13 And here the bullish tokconomics of Tao are simply explained. So listen and learn. Don't forget Tao Bit Tensor is built very similar to Bitcoin. 21 million to fixed supply of 21 million tokens a havinging every four years. The only thing that's different is Bit Tensor again the tower is the token. Bit tensor abstracted away the incentive mechanism. So it's a very similar idea.

11:40 Let's give incentives for the people who help us. So Bitcoin does that. gives incentives to the miners who validate transactions, but Bit Tensor gives incentives to people who come up with better and better AI models or whatever the problems are that the subnets are trying to solve. So, it really is it's like the Bitcoin of entrepreneurship. If you want to make even more money in crypto, sign up for the crypto exchange, WEX.
