What I Learned About Crypto in a 70th Floor Toronto Penthouse

Standing on the patio deck overlooking the Toronto skyline from the 70th floor of a $10 million penthouse, I felt like Tony Stark.

Just a few hours earlier, a white-gloved butler ushered me into a closed-door event attended by a who's-who of the crypto industry.

The exclusive guest list included hedge fund managers, crypto exchange executives, and blockchain project founders.

I had access to all of them for the entire evening at this invitation-only gathering high above the turquoise waters of Lake Ontario, as you can see in the picture below.

I soon found myself conversing with a guy from China who's developing a prototype for the latest wearable tech.

I don't know a word of Chinese. Yet, like a scene out of Star Trek, I was able to talk to him in real time… Thanks to these glasses.

When he spoke to me in Chinese, the glasses displayed the English translation of his words. I could read them on the lenses as he talked.

The glasses connect wirelessly to an app on his phone. When I answered him in English, he could read my translated answers in Chinese on his screen.

How is that possible? These glasses use artificial intelligence (AI) to translate languages in real time.

This specific pair I tried on is set to launch later this year for about $300. But the developer says he expects prices to drop over the next year.

I predict these glasses will be on every traveler's packing checklist by this time next year. For just half the price of a flight from the United States to Europe, you can converse with the locals – without spending any time on Rosetta Stone or Duolingo.

While these glasses caught my attention, I didn't come to this exclusive gathering in Toronto to scope out the latest advances in wearable AI tech.

I came to learn more about what I believe is the greatest profit-making opportunity in crypto today. And I'll give you a sneak peek into what insiders are saying about it.

A Peek Into the Exclusive World of Crypto Insiders

Earlier this month, I travelled to Toronto to attend Consensus 2025.

It's one of the largest blockchain conferences in the world, with more than 15,000 people from across the globe attending this year.

The speakers list included some heavy hitters in the crypto space, including Shark Tank's Kevin O'Leary and mega crypto investor Anthony Scaramucci.

As I wandered through the cavernous Toronto Convention Center, I was nearly shoved over by Eric Trump's Secret Service contingent as he made his way through the crowd.

The Trump family is heavily invested in stablecoins, with about $2.1 billion worth of them circulating. Eric Trump said major banks like JPMorgan Chase will grandfather in the stablecoin, integrating it into the banking system.

Over the course of the conference, I spoke with the representatives from the largest crypto exchanges in the world… Ate lunch with hedge fund managers… And heard from several U.S. senators.

Now, I've traveled thousands of miles and attended dozens of conferences over the years. Most of my meetings are held in coffee shops, hotel lobbies, or private rooms.

The penthouse event was hosted by one of the conference speakers. He's the founder of an exciting up-and-coming project at the intersection of AI and blockchain – a trend we've been following closely at Tiwari Research Group.

I spoke to him briefly after he got off the stage… But as the line of people eager to talk to him grew behind me, he invited me to his penthouse to continue our conversation.

This was the first time I've been invited to someone's home in a foreign country. As you can imagine, I was incredibly wary.

Dozens of horror stories rushed into my mind… Gruesome tales of crypto investors tied up and threatened – sometimes even harmed – for their investments.

Over the last month alone, the owner of a crypto marketing firm was kidnapped and held for ransom in Paris. Authorities found him two days later with a finger cut off.

A few days later, three masked men ambushed the daughter of a French crypto exchange owner and tried to kidnap her.

Daily editor Teeka Tiwari is one of the most widely followed personalities in the crypto space. You've probably heard stories about strangers stalking Teeka's kids on social media and hackers trying to break into his crypto accounts.

As his right-hand man, I worry about those things. But I can't imagine doing anything else.

It's my goal to bring you the best research and insights into this industry. And the best way to do that is by putting my boots on the ground and expanding my network.

Plus, it's what I enjoy doing and is usually incredibly rewarding.

So, when I got the invitation to that exclusive penthouse party on my last night in Toronto, I put my fears aside and jumped at the opportunity.

The founder who invited me to the party is building a blockchain platform that uses human knowledge to train AI agents.

This is a radically different approach to training AI. Most developers use large data sets to train AI agents. (I'll explain what AI agents are below. Or you can click here to learn more.)

But the founder told me he's taking a different approach. Instead of relying solely on data, his AI agents learn from human experts.

Say you're building an AI model that reads MRI scans to identify cancerous tumors. His platform will incentivize human experts to help AI agents learn to read the scans.

For instance, radiologists who use MRI scans can contribute their expertise to identify cancerous tumors to the platform. In return, they earn crypto payments from the platform based on the quality of their contributions.

The better the knowledge they contribute, the more they get paid. This is the type of bleeding-edge technology idea you'll only find in these private gatherings.

One of the team's representatives told me early users of the platform can receive airdrops as a reward for participation. In the blockchain space, projects often offer free tokens called airdrops to incentivize users to use their platform.

These free tokens are a better way to bootstrap adoption by giving early users a small stake in the project than it is to spend millions on marketing down the line.

Now, to be fair to our paid subscribers, I can't give out the name of this project in Digital Asset Daily or show you how to earn its airdrop rewards for free. I'm working on this idea for the June issue of Big T's Inside Crypto.

(If you want to learn how to sign up for Inside Crypto, go here.)

I also have a meeting with the founders of a project I believe will reshape the early-stage investing landscape in a couple of weeks.

If there's an opportunity worthy of Inside Crypto, I'll report back. In the meantime, let me reveal why AI agents are such a game-changer.

Smart Money Is Sniffing Out This Opportunity

One of the most exciting rumors I heard at Consensus was about Google offering blockchain AI projects up to $200,000 in "cloud credits" to help get them up and running. Projects can use these credits to tap into Google's cloud computing without fronting the cost.

I've never seen this level of commitment to blockchain tech from Big Tech before. Google targeting AI projects suggests we're at the forefront of a massive trend.

We're also seeing increased funding for AI agent projects come from private capital.

At another event, I spoke to a founder whose project recently raised $325 million. This level of funding strongly indicates private investors are bullish on a project.

To give you some perspective, Solana raised $41.5 million from 2018-2020, Helium raised $54 million through 2019, and Avalanche raised $98 million from 2019-2020 according to cryptorank.io.

Following these funding rounds, these tokens soared 21,305%, 42,344%, and 4,864%, respectively, in under two years.

Now, this doesn't mean this project will see similar returns. But it shows how smart money can sniff out massive opportunities before the masses.

And that brings me to what I believe is the biggest profit-making opportunity in crypto right now: AI agents.

If you've been following me the past few months, you know I'm incredibly bullish about AI agent coins.

In short, AI agents are very intelligent applications of AI technology built around a specific task tailored to you.

Imagine having a room full of the world's best personal assistants. So you would have the world's best executive assistant. The world's best health coach. The world's best vacation planner. And so on…

That's the promise of AI agents… Having all these applications at your fingertips, tailored to your needs and preferences, and needing little to no input from you.

So you can see their impact will be huge. And so will the profit opportunity from their proliferation.

Here's the thing: right now, there's no pure-play way to own AI agents in the stock market.

The only place I know where you can get pure exposure to the AI agent trend is through the crypto markets.

Sure, Google, Meta, Apple, and Amazon are all working on making AI Agents available. But those companies are so big that it won't move the needle on their respective stocks.

But consider this…

In October and November 2024, we spotted two tokens riding this trend. And in January 2025, less than two months later, we booked gains of 826% and 932% on them.

By comparison, it would take an average of 25 years to 10x your money in the S&P 500.

Teeka recently put together his most recent research briefing on how he sees the AI agent trend playing out.

He also wrote a special report on what our research suggests are the top six names in the space. These are coins we believe could make you a life-changing amount of money this year.

You can watch a replay of his research briefing right here. It won't be available for long, so be sure to view Teeka's latest AI Agent briefing now.
