the crypto Bull Run is in full swing and while you're focused on finding those projects that will make you tons of money it's just as important to know which projects to avoid some cryptos have already pumped and simply won't have the large upside anymore in this video I'll show you some of the altcoins that are super popular right now but I would rather sell them before we get into this list of altcoins to sell there's a huge disclaimer that I have to give we are now in the middle of the crypto bull run which means
every single crypto will go up in price over the next 6 to 12 months so I am not telling you to sell any of these coins because they will go down in price rather I simply think there are better Alternatives that can either have higher upside potential or give the same returns but with lower risk that's what I'll be focusing on in this video so don't come at me saying oh bacon sold xrp at $250 and then it went to $5 he's an idiot all coins out of the top 300 rankings will go up in
price from here no matter how pumped up they are simply because of Bitcoin going up in price and this is how crypto Works however if your altcoin doesn't uperform Bitcoin and the large caps and it lags behind in the same narrative against other comparable altcoins then you have a better chance to put your money elsewhere understand this point before you watch this video let's get into it welcome back to the virtual bacon Channel my name is Dennis I'm a crypto Android investor for the past 6 years and I have invested in over 100 crypto startups
on this channel I share views on market trends and investing strategy to build wealth in crypto at all times you can track my updated portfolio with the link in the description and this is where I have included all of the altcoins that I think are worth holding for the rest of this bull run at least on a 1 to two month basis whenever I make a rotation in my portfolio going from an altcoin that's already pumped a lot to an altcoin that's relatively undervalued I put them down in this update logs this is why you
should also follow me on Twitter at virtual bacon 0x as I put out all my portfolio updates in this bullet point format whenever I make them and you should join our free trading Community called the coiners if you're looking for people to chat with and ask questions okay first I want to summarize my Baseline for the expected returns in order to determine if an altcoin is overperforming or underperforming I have already gone through this in depth on this video called best crypto portfolios for small to large sides you can go ahead and check that out
to summarize I expect Bitcoin ethereum and salana to do about 3x from current prices Bitcoin is more like a 2X return at 100K to 200k whereas ethereum and salana could do potentially 3 to 4X and then for midcaps I'm expecting 6X return and low caps up to 20x return for the high-risk ones the simplest way to visualize this is just to look at the others versus BTC Market Cap ratio and in the last cycle from the beginning of 2021 until the end in the Bull Run Year all other altcoins outside of the top 10 have
outperformed Bitcoin by about 5X so we're even being quite conservative here with our estimates for this cycle based on diminishing returns another video you should watch for some more background is this live stream that I have done about the mainstream crypto pumps in the beginning of the bull market stage this year xrp cardono sui Stellar lumens a lot of these mainstream coins have gone up exponentially a ton of the older altcoins are coming back and this sets us up for the discussion today which of these older coins are still worth getting into and which ones
are just a short-term pump because the retail is coming back and these are the only altcoins that they know so you should watch this live stream for the background there let's address the elephant in the room first and that is the huge pump coming to xrp over the past month where its price went up from 50 all the way to $250 doing a 5x return I believe this is a good time to take profits from xrp and move into other Alternatives which are still undervalued this video that I published about xrp in August 2023 is
going exponential in terms of its views over the past 3 weeks it has gotten another 200,000 views and it has only gotten 216,000 views in the past 14 months the interest in xrp in terms of search volume is going exponential this is really retail flooding in if I were to sell xrp and rotate into other Alternatives that could outperform what would I do very easy BET right now I believe is just to rotate from xrp into ethereum and salana like I previously mentioned however if you want to write the same wave of well-known us companies
that have issued cryptos that are used for similar use cases in the layer one altcoins category you can look at the iso 2022 category of altcoins I've also explained about this in the last xrp video that I have done in August 2023 the tldr here is that ISL 2022 is a communication standard between Banks and financial institutions and you have decentralized and centralized Networks that adhere to this any Global Financial Network that can adhere to this standard can be potentially used to replace Swift which is the older standard that handles crossborder transfers between Banks there
are eight altcoins that adhere to this standard namely xrp cardano Stellar lumens Quant eloran hadera hashgraph xdc and Iota so which of these projects has the highest potential out of this list I have to take out xrp cardano stellar and hadera hashgraph all of these four have pumped way too much already and are near previous all-time highs this is the first criteria that's very important you want to Target an altcoin that still has a lot of potential to its previous all-time high price you can easily see this comparison on live coin watch by picking up
your favorite altcoins list and then sorting by percentage to previous alltime high so going down this list first you have Iota still at 10x away from its previous alltime high can this pump sure but honestly Iota is so far removed from the rest of the market and honestly they have not pushed any updates since the last bull market even in the last bull market remember iota's network was down for longer than a week I highly doubt this coin is going to make a comeback so even though it's very far away from its previous alltime High
I don't think it's likely to reach there anymore and then you have Quant so Quant is currently at $140 and about 3x away from its previous all-time high it's not bad of a coin to be honest it's also listed on coinbase already the main thing I have against this coin is actually its unit price very few coins in the retail's ice have gotten above a few hundred and reached you know over $1,000 on that note we have the xdc network at 7 cents the unit price here is low however xdc is not listed on many
centralized exchanges yet it's not on binance it's not on coinbase it's not very easily accessible in the US look at the list of these centralized exchanges most of them are not offered in the US so that's a big hurdle for XTC and that's why this one is not my favorite at the moment then that leaves us with aloran I really think this coin checks all the boxes and it's still not too late to get into aloran has been around since 2019 a very long history but they are still relevant and pushing a lot of updates
constantly they are listed on all major centralized exchanges binance coinbase okx upit Kraken all of the major exchanges only one that it doesn't have compared to xlm and xrp is Robin Hood if it gets listed on Robin Hood that's going to make it completely blow up one of the biggest issues that algorand faced in the last bowl Market is with its accelerated vesting because they did a large public sale but today all of the tokens have been vested as you can see on token unlocks so throughout the bare Market from 2022 until mid 2024 all
the supply has come out to the market so no more Supply overhang very good tokenomics current price at 52 cents the unit bias is still quite good and you can directly compare this unit price to the unit price of for example stellar and xrp and literally not care about market cap in the retail investors eyes however for us seeds and crypto investors you know how much the fully DED valuation actually matters how much of the supply is already circulating and the bigger the fully valuted valuation the harder time this coin have to move up in
price currently xrp is at 150 billion circulating market cap Stellar is at 15 billion circulating market cap algan is at 4.38 billion and in terms of percentage of Supply circulating xrp is at 60% Supply circulating Stellar is at 60% Supply circulating whereas alaran is over 80% circulating Supply already so this leaves much less Supply overhand to be sold onto the market all those combined I think alaran is at a great spot to make a splash in this cycle and this is my bet in the iso 2022 coins in any coins that's connected to the US
Financial system for whatever Trump decides to do with positive regulation for us issued cryptocurrencies okay that's my long rent about XR xrp and the summary there is that I want to sell xrp and probably sell Stellar lumens xlm and I want to buy either ethereum salana or if you want the same category of altcoins I would pick up algorand if this mainstream altcoin narrative continues we might see a comeback of some of the most Legacy altcoins such as Bitcoin cash Litecoin and ethereum classic now I'm just going to tell you right now when these coins
pump you want to sell them I don't even want to talk about them too much because literally these coins do nothing they're just older forks and copies of Bitcoin and ethereum and just because they are copies of these Blue Chip institutional adopted coins that's why they are listed on all centralized exchanges in the US because they are very much in the same regulatory Gray Zone any of these older Legacy altcoins that were Forks of Bitcoin or ethereum I would sell them and I would replace them today with chain link because out of that cohort of
very old long-term altcoins with Legacy chain link is the only one that is still pushing their technology forward with a ton of updates constantly I got out of chain link this summer after it failed to follow through on that rally but with this new wave of retail investors coming back in chain link is one of the longest running coins and has one of the oldest communities across all of crypto chain link started back in 2017 and the link Marines have been around since the Ico days you cannot discount that I remember in the 2021 cycle
a lot of people just only held chain link and that was the one coin that checked all boxes for them being an infra coin defi coin rwa coin now cross chain coin it's just that most of those narratives are not popular for chain link right now I think they just need a little bit of a pivot to be something of a popular narrative again and then that will make chain link completely explode the next major altcoin I would sell right now is sweet it has gotten super popular over the past two to 3 months on
crypto Twitter especially but I really think there are better Alternatives now that can have higher potential Returns the tldr on suweet is that it's a layer one blockchain for smart contracts it's a direct competitor to salana and less so a competitor to ethereum because it uses the same programming language called rust and it has this special programming language on top called move which is based on Rust and this is supposedly much more developer friendly and easier to use versus developing on Solana and most most people know at this point Su has gone up over 4X
over the past 3 months going from 80 to $380 what a great run thatu has had however is this worth holding for the long term there are really two sides to this question number one if you are buying into suite for the adoption of its technology being the move programming language and the potential of that to replace salana well you can look at it a couple ways first is that abdos is just as good of a blockchain as Suite the two teams literally came from the same technology a leftover from Libra however Aptos is trading
at half the fully diluted valuation of Suite today and if you really believe the move ecosystem is going to kill salana well you should try it out and actually see for yourself as far as I know there are no new coins being launched on Su today that people are aping into not even close to the hype we still have on Solana with pum fun with how many memes and how much trading is happening there on The Daily just look in your telegram your Twitter your Discord groups nobody is trading coins onu today I have not
seen anyone share any gem calls onui ever but I see them 20 times a day on salana and just as much on Bas even that's not to say thatu blockchain doesn't work it works quite well it's very fast very smooth but right now there just isn't much action going on in that chain so if you want to bet on move I think Aptos is a better BET right now and if you want to bet on the actual adoption of this retail pH focused crazy mem coin trading casino type of scenario I think Solana is still
the king here the other narrative thatu has going for itself is being this hyp scalable super fast blockchain that can support over 10,000 transactions per second s claims to be the fastest blockchain ever right at 300,000 transactions per second but again right now no chain can reach these levels of high threshold so these chains have never been tested on the main net because they simply don't have enough transactions going through to see if this actually works today any chain that can support over 10,000 transactions per second is already hypers scalable and those limits are not
being reached this is why on that same caliber you have quite a few other chains that have more adoption already such as avax Phantom or even say which is a lower cap alternative avax Phantom and say all run the ethereum virtual machine or the evm stack and they all Support over 10,000 transactions per second they are all hypers scalable before we really have onchain adoption that can push past more than 10,000 transactions per second in terms of demand you really can't say thatu is faster than any of these other blockchains we don't know if it
will actually break however when you look at the price performance of these three evm hypers scalable blockchains they are still quite a ways off from their previous all-time high the upside potential is clearly higher here Phantom and say are both around the 3 billion circulating market cap Mark compared to s at 11 billion and when it comes to percentage of Supply circulating their ratios are also a lot better and then we have avax and I want to talk about avac specifically here because I really think this coin has the intersection of all of the different
narratives going for it we have already discussed that avac is a hypers scalable blockchain able to sustain over 10,000 transactions per second this is number one narrative going for it if sweep pumps avax is in that same category second bullish Point going for avax is that it is is very us retail friendly it's traded on all us major exchanges and it's even offered on Robin Hood today this really sets it apart and I highlighted this point on my last live stream about the mainstream cryptos as well you should go check that out so I went
through the supported list of coins on Robin Hood and I actually made a mistake there because the list that I had there was actually a bigger list of all coins offered on Robin Hood Europe some people pointed this out to me and I made a correction on the comments and this is actually the full list of altcoins supported on Robin Hood us which is much more important on this list of altcoins when you extract them out the only two altcoins that fit all of my criteria for the mainstream cryptos are avax and Tra link this
is why I think avax has a ton of potential to be one of those coins that people just hold for exposure to everything and exposure to every single narrative they have a big narrative with gaming as well launching some of the top games like Off the Grid and they have huge rwa exposure as well having done partnership with Singapore's monetary Authority and having issued onchain tokenized funds on this note of Legacy all coins that are coming back I'm going to give you two more categories that were very popular in 2021 namely metaverse and gaming these
rotations have not happened yet but when they happen you want to sell these coins ASAP if you still hold them first we have metaverse so the two most popular met unus from 2021 in terms of all coins were sandbox and decentraland we are already seeing these coins starting to take up now when this hype wave starts it will get very explosive very quickly just like the last cycle around however don't be fooled these projects have not made updates in the entirety of the bare Market in fact the team of the centraland as far as I
know have already moved on to a new project even today if you want exposure to a metaverse crypto project that has actual decent potential based on how much they've built over the past 3 years of bare Market you should check out Wilder world this coin was also just as popular in 2021 having reached an all-time high of $670 and right now it trades at 37 cents so more than 16x away from previous alltime high but while the world has been diligently building over the past three years and their major releases are just coming up on
the epic game store with multiple games and their metaverse world is way ahead of the competition compared to sandbox and de centraland this is something that I can actually see myself having fun in when the next version of their world actually drops along with their Flagship games I will try it out and I'll show you guys my Impressions okay last but not least in the quickfire rounds we have the gaming narrative and the three most popular gaming coins from 2021 that are no longer relevant today are ax Infinity engine coin and Gala so all three
of these coins hit huge multiples in the 2021 Bull Run and they are starting to take up a bit again because they're offered on all centralized exchanges and people think these are the main gaming coins they just don't know that the gaming industry shifts so much in the crypto narrative today ax Infiniti with its playto earn model is no longer around nobody is going to do play to earn anymore and engine coin well their infrastructure nobody is using anymore it's very very last gen and they even launched a brand new blockchain already and even that
blockchain has no user and last but not least Gala that proposed to be the steam game store in crypto fashion is not relevant anymore their model does not work so some Alternatives here honorable mention you can look at Ronin if you are really into ax Infinity this is the infrastructure play that's launched by the parent company of axi Infiniti called Sky Mavis and this is a ler one blockchain that they use to run multiple different games this is the majority of their main business focus now my picks in the gaming category you can find on
my crypto portfolio at all times so I have superverse xborg ason Prime beam seed World Wilder world and super Champs if you just want one crypto gaming pick that checks all boxes great tokenomics great team huge Community Support since the last Bull Run made a huge Splash in the last B bu run and contined to build and an infrastructure that's plugged into everywhere and is only going to increase their exposure as more and more games come to the mainstream you just got a hold super that is your number one exposure Ure to gain the upside
in crypto gaming now more recently we have a few different altcoins that launched in crypto gaming that are very worth paying attention to namely xborg seedworld and super Champs the main overlap these projects have is that they are fairly launched this means they listed on a decentralized exchange first they distributed tokens all to their investors on day one so whoever wants to sell well they sell right away into a low fully diluted market cap this way you have the tokens exchanging hands from the VCS or the K's or people that got in early into the
hands of the community members and the people that want to support the project while these guys got in very early so by listing the tokens at a low market cap on decentralized exchanges what you end up building is a strong community that gets in on the ground floor and that's why you have these three coins having very strong Community Support right now because all of their token holders got in very cheap and they were able to ride the wave up and continue to ride the wave as crypto gaming grows this cycle if you're looking for
exposure in crypto gaming you got to look at coins that are fairly launched instead of coins that have long VC lock up and at very high fdv right away at launch so pay attention to xborg seedworld and super Champs all of these have price charts that do quite well because of this Fair launch format okay these are all of the altcoins that I would sell today and the Alternatives that I think have higher upside potential in order to rotate into we have covered the layer one category the mainstream cryptos that are popular similar to xrp
and Stellar we have covered other layer ones that are hypers scalable similar to Su we have covered Legacy altcoins like Bitcoin cash Litecoin ethereum classic and how they compare very poorly against chain link we have covered the metaverse narrative and the gaming narrative and how last cycles altcoins that are popular in these two narratives are not necessarily the ones you want to pick up for this bull run now if you are betting on the AI narrative or rwa or meme coins I think you're still quite good because these three narratives really became popular in the
bare market so there isn't that much fluff in these sectors yet most of the retail audience hasn't come into these three sectors yet but if these sectors get overheated I'll make followup videos in the same style covering these three sectors as well okay that's it for this video make sure to follow me on X at virtual bacon 0x this is where I drop quick Alpha before I make them into in-depth videos and if you want the quickest alerts on my portfolio update you'll get them on Twitter right away and if you're looking for a community
