Investors Who Buy Into This Crypto Idea Will Get the Last Laugh

First, they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then you win.

You're probably familiar with this axiom. And when it comes to technology, it rings true.

People laughed at Jeff Bezos when he launched the world's first online bookstore. They thought he was crazy for trying to compete with giant retailers like Barnes & Noble.

In 2000, Blockbuster executives laughed the founders of Netflix out of the room when they tried to sell their business to the video rental store giant for $50 million.

When Tesla went public in 2010, investors thought the idea of a mass market electric vehicle (EV) maker was a pipe dream. They didn't believe it would ever turn a profit.

Today, Amazon is the largest online retailer in the world… Netflix dominates the streaming industry… And Tesla is the most valuable car company in history.

At first, the competition laughed at them… Then, as I'll show you below, they tried to compete with them. In the end, Amazon, Netflix, and Tesla emerged as winners.

Today, I'm going to show you a budding company that's going to radically transform an entire industry… Just like those three newcomers did to retail, streaming, and auto industries.

Some will laugh at the idea. Then they'll fight the idea. But eventually, the best players will emerge as winners.

And if you position yourself right now, I believe you can conservatively make 3-5x your money over the next 12 months without taking massive risk.

Because we're at the perfect point in the cycle that lets us know profits are ahead for one disruptor in the crypto space.

Pay Attention When Industry Giants Make Big Moves

Owning disruptive companies like Amazon, Netflix, and Tesla in their early stages comes with more volatility than most investors can stomach.

Over the years, Amazon, Netflix, and Tesla have seen drawdowns of as much as 95%, 82% and 75%, respectively.

But you didn't have to be first on the scene to make money from these great companies.

You see, there's a period when their competition basically acknowledges that these trailblazers were right and tries to play catch up.

In 2016, retail giant Walmart made it crystal clear Amazon was right about the future of retail. That year, Walmart spent $3.3 billion to buy Jet.com, a major online retailer, to help it grow its online shopping

Amazon went public in 1997. But let's imagine you had ignored it. You didn't buy it until Walmart got into the e-commerce game to compete against Amazon in 2016. Had you done that, you'd be sitting on 387% gains today.

We saw the same thing happen in the entertainment industry in 2009. That's the year Disney acquired a 30% stake in Hulu, Netflix's streaming rival.

Netflix went public in 2002. But again, even if you had ignored the stock when it went public, so long as you bought it after Disney came into the space, you'd be sitting on a 11,806% gain today.

Again, we saw a similar phenomenon play out in the electric vehicle space.

Maybe you were skeptical at first and didn't buy Tesla on its IPO in June 2010… But in December of that year, Chevy rolled out the first mass-produced EV: The Volt.

This was a clear sign the car industry viewed EVs as the future.

Tesla went public in June 2010. Again, let's assume you waited until Chevy got in the game in December 2010. Today, you'd be sitting on 13,261% gains.

The point I'm making is that you don't need to be among the first to invest in a disruptive tech company.

It's when the competition wakes up and smells the coffee that you need to pay attention.

That's when you know big gains are coming.

Today, we're at the very beginning of what could be the biggest transformation for the payments industry in decades.

In fact, one of the leaders in the space just made a $1.1 billion acquisition signaling the industry is changing directions. This is something everyone should be paying attention to.

Ignoring this move will be similar to ignoring the shift to online shopping when Walmart spent $3.3 billion expanding its online presence.

Or ignoring the future of video streaming in 2009 when Disney purchased 30% of Hulu.

Or ignoring the future of the auto industry when Chevy rolled out the first mass produced EV.

Those who ignored those major shifts missed out on a fortune over the years. And unfortunately, it's about to happen again.

Revolutionizing the Payment Industry

Stripe is one of the largest payment processors in the world. In 2023, it processed over $1 trillion in payments.

Last week, Stripe acquired Bridge for $1.1 billion. Bridge makes it easier for businesses to accept stablecoin payments without having to deal directly with digital tokens.

The acquisition will help Stripe become a leader in the emerging stablecoin industry.

U.S. dollar stablecoins are tokens that can be converted into dollars. They are cryptographic tokens pegged 1-to-1 to the dollar.

So a $1 stablecoin will convert into $1 of real world money. They're called "stable" coins because they don't fluctuate in value the way bitcoin does.

Today, there are dozens of stablecoin issuers that allow investors to turn cash into tokenized dollars.

Stablecoins are great because they enable anyone to send value to anyone, anywhere in the world, at any time for little to no cost.

And this will be a game-changer for merchants. They have to deal with chargebacks, high processing fees, and payment failures for numerous reasons. But this solution will remove the burden from them.

Processing payments can also be terribly slow… If you want to send a payment to someone at 6 p.m. on a Friday night, it might not arrive until next week.

When it comes to the payments industry, we believe stablecoins will help reshape the way we spend and send money.

Just look at the numbers…

During the second quarter of 2024, stablecoins processed $8.5 trillion in transaction volume over blockchain networks. That's 2x more transaction volume than PayPal and Visa combined, according to venture capital firm a16z.

And it's no wonder many payment giants are looking to get involved in the stablecoin industry. Especially when you look at how profitable the business is.

Tether, the world's largest stablecoin issuer with $120 billion in stablecoins in circulation, is on track to generate over $10 billion in profits this year.

That's why we're seeing the biggest players in the payment processing industry invest their time and money in blockchain and stablecoins.

Just like how Walmart got into online retail… Disney got into streaming… And Chevy got into electric vehicles…

We're seeing traditional payment processors like Visa and MasterCard follow Stripe into the stablecoin game.

Visa expanded stablecoin settlement capabilities to merchants acquirers, which act as intermediaries between merchants and card payment networks, over the Solana and Ethereum networks authorized over VisaNet.

Mastercard launched a stablecoin digital wallet last year to allow retail customers in the Asia-Pacific region to spend their stablecoins anywhere Mastercard is accepted.

As you can see, the traditional players see stablecoins as the future of payments. That's the sign that it's now time to start investing in the stablecoin market.

Investing in the Top Stablecoin Platforms Will Give you the Last Laugh

Today, most stablecoin adoption is occurring on the Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) networks.

While Ethereum has a lead over Solana in terms of adoption, my research suggests Solana will catch up due to its faster and cheaper transactions.

On top of this, Solana is seeing massive institutional adoption, something that only Ethereum has received in the past.

Today, Ethereum is valued at $307 billion, while Solana is valued at $80 billion.

As people wake up to Solana's potential, I believe SOL could 3-5x from here over the next 12 months.

That's why SOL is one of the biggest positions in my portfolio and why I recommend owning it.

As stablecoins take off, Solana will benefit since it leads to more transaction fees, which are paid to SOL token holders.

Remember, Stripe just made a $1.1 billion acquisition signaling to the market that stablecoins are the future of payments. That's the sign we're looking for.

Ignoring this sign would be like ignoring Disney getting into the streaming industry… Or Walmart spending $3.3 billion on expanding its online sales… Or Chevy rolling out the first mass-produced EV.

Its competitors are attempting to get a piece of the profits. And as an established player, Solana is ahead of the game. That's why I believe SOL is one of the greatest crypto assets you can own today.

P.S. While we believe stablecoins will be the preferred method to make payments in the future, Teeka believes we're about to see an explosion in another subsector of the crypto market. And it all has to do with Tuesday's presidential election.

Last week, Teeka held his first ever special briefing to announce his official prediction for who will win the 2024 presidential election.

You can stream the replay right here.

During the briefing, Teeka explained why the outcome of the election will trigger a massive boom in a small corner of the crypto market. And he shared details on six "500x coins" he believes have the potential to skyrocket after November 5.

He also gave away the name of a coin that's directly linked to the election results he's predicting. It could double the moment the new POTUS is announced.

You'll get the name and ticker symbol of this token just for watching – absolutely free with no strings attached.

This is a major story the entire mainstream media is missing. So click here to stream the replay of Teeka's special election briefing right now.
