Cryptocurrency YouTuber "Abandon Illusions"...Declares Focus on Bitcoin and Blue-Chip Assets

The illusion of earning $1 million in 12 months with no capital in the virtual asset market must be abandoned. Instead of the temptation of short-term big wins, a painful point has been made that survival depends on focusing on real mega-trends such as asset tokenization and decentralized artificial intelligence (AI).

In a video uploaded on September 20 (local time), the cryptocurrency YouTube channel Altcoin Daily sharply criticized, saying, "The idea of making $1 million in a year without initial capital is clearly an unrealistic notion." It further advised, "We must face the fact that the majority of influencers active on social media promote their own holdings," and "We must adhere to the principle of long-term dollar-cost averaging based on clear data." The explanation is that speculative meme coin investments aimed at short-term surges should stop, and funds should be allocated to core infrastructure that will lead the market over the next 1 to 3 years.

The total market capitalization of virtual assets has shown steep growth from its lows during each past bull market. The total market cap, which exceeded $700 billion at its peak in 2017, surged approximately 19 times to its 2021 peak of $3 trillion after the 2018 bear market. The market, which rebounded from a low of around $800 billion in the 2022 bear market, grew fivefold from its low, touching $4.2 trillion in 2025. Altcoin Daily projected that the current total market size, which is around $2.8 trillion, could expand to $6 trillion conservatively, or $10-12 trillion on a median basis, in this cycle. However, it pointed out that an explosive rise of 19 times, as seen in the past, is unlikely to be repeated, so realistic expected returns should be set.

The introduction of institutional regulation and the inflow of institutional funds were cited as key factors changing the nature of the market. It is diagnosed that as institutional regulations by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) are fully implemented, the on-chain tokenization of traditional financial assets such as U.S. stocks is accelerating. Altcoin Daily emphasized that at least 40% or more of the entire virtual asset portfolio should be allocated to Bitcoin (BTC). The reason given is that it can serve as a long-term store of value and a safe haven.

Beyond Bitcoin, it was suggested that the altcoin portfolio be condensed to six or fewer core blue-chip assets. Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) were identified as smart contract platforms leading U.S. stock tokenization and stablecoin expansion. Cardano (ADA), Near Protocol (NEAR), Algorand (ALGO), and Avalanche (AVAX) were also mentioned as part of the relevant ecosystem. In the decentralized AI sector, attention was drawn to underlying infrastructure assets rather than individual applications. Bittensor (TAO), where early AI startups and robotics projects are being built, along with Near Protocol and Venice tokens, were cited as promising assets.

The virtual asset market is moving past speculative frenzy and entering a phase of institutional regulation and real-world linkage. A strategy of centering on Bitcoin and responding with a concentrated portfolio of blue-chip assets in tokenization and decentralized AI infrastructure is being evaluated as an alternative to navigate volatile markets.
