In this presentation, the speaker argues that the most profitable cryptocurrency coins are typically created during bear markets. Leveraging Robert Shiller's narrative economics framework, he categorizes viral crypto narratives and builds a custom scoring system that backtests the top‑100 altcoins across multiple market cycles. The system identifies which narrative categories (e.g., Digital Gold, Meme Coins, Privacy, Platforms, DeFi, AI, Gaming, Exchanges) have historically produced the highest multiples. The analysis scores each category, with Digital Gold achieving the maximum score and Meme Coins ranking second. Applying the model to the current market, the speaker lists high‑scoring coins such as Bitcoin, Monero, Zcash, and others. He then advises a disciplined approach: run a thorough fundamental‑analysis checklist on these candidates, compile a vetted master list, and accumulate positions during the bear market to capture future upside.

I've said this for years, but now I have proof. It said that most of the winners were birthed in the bear market. How long have we been saying that? We've been saying that for almost 3 years straight, that we won't even know what coins would do the highest multiples. You got to be locked in. You can't just buy a coin and come back in 6 months and expect to be profitable. You have to be there in the trenches, even if it's just a half an hour a day, because the best, most profitable coin will likely be birthed and created in the bear market. So right here, as you can see, we have something called Shiller's Rules. Now, Shiller was a pioneer. He won some crazy prize for building narrative economics, which is the least studied economics field in the world. He identifies different parts of a viral trend. So he has categorized how virality actually works and the mechanics behind it. And so then what we did is we have a scoring system that I built that actually takes it from the crypto altcoins. Remember, we have this data here. We know when the market bottoms and we know when the momentum kicks back up. So my question is, what type of narratives, what type of coins were profitable around here? Because that's roughly where we're at, right? The actual AI looked right here between these date periods. It scanned the top 100 coins by market cap size around these date periods and then picked the highest multiple ones within this time period. It did it for each individual cycle, and then it tried to organize each coin into a narrative. And then I tried to organize it into like a category that is vetted by a PhD that created Narrative Economics. And so here's the categories that it came up with. Digital gold scored 14. Of course, that's pretty obvious. 14, the highest score you could possibly get. The actual narratives are money, the government can print, gold standard, Bitcoiners versus the Fed. It hits every single story. And here's the scores. We have meme coins as number 2. That's accurate. The number 1 producing percentage increase coin in the world is a meme coin. So we have meme coins at number 2. We have privacy money, prediction markets, platforms. Platforms are like Ethereum. DeFi rail, uh, AI piggyback, which is like variations of AI coins, gaming exchange coin, digital— you get the point. You see the scores? So essentially it scored it and then it looked at the current coins right now and it gave us a list. Here's the current coins, the current coins that have the highest score. So obviously Bitcoin is going to be up there. We have Monero, Zcash. I don't even know what Midnight is. Now the next step is for us to go through our fundamental analysis checklist Really, really dial in and make sure like these are like really, really good, like really, really good, and just take and, you know, pull together a master list and then start accumulating. We're prepared, and then we start accumulating.
