Trade Ideas
Ethereum to $1.5 million by 2041 for AI agents.
Ethereum will be the dominant transaction layer for AI agents, which will handle most financial transactions, leading to exponential price growth targeting $1.5 million by 2041. It is better positioned than Solana due to speed improvements and quantum risk preparedness.
Bitcoin to $50 million by 2041 as collateral.
Bitcoin will become the predominant source of collateral in the digital world, with a fixed supply leading to exponential price appreciation, targeting $50 million by 2041.
Bit Tensor is a potential 100-bagger.
Bit Tensor is a high-quality crypto project with the potential to be a 100-bagger, and we have been long since the start of the year.
Bitcoin miners IREN, CIPH, HUT positioned for AI.
Iris Energy (IREN), Cipher (CIPH), and Hut 8 (HUT) are the best Bitcoin miners pivoting to AI data infrastructure, well-positioned due to the compute shortage and have significant upside.
