Ben Simpson (speaker) outlines exactly how he would invest a hypothetical $10,000 in crypto. He recommends 50% to Bitcoin (calls it the best asset, potentially worth hundreds of thousands to a million), ~30% to next-gen layer-one blockchains (primarily Ethereum, Sui, and Solana), and the remaining ~20% to higher-risk categories such as meme coins, AI tokens, and DeFi (citing Syrup as a DeFi winner). The excerpt reflects a personal, bullish stance on Bitcoin and selective optimism about specific layer-ones and DeFi projects.

If I had $10,000 to invest in crypto right now, this is exactly how I would do it. 50% I would allocate into Bitcoin. Bitcoin is the asset that I believe is going to be the hundreds of thousand dollars in the future, if not a million. And it is the best asset on the planet in my opinion. Better than gold. The next probably 30% into layer one projects, right? Next gen, layer one. So for me the big ones are Ethereum, Solana and Sui. Ethereum is the best blockchain in the space in my opinion. Number two, Sui, a great gaming LED blockchain, the best for UI and ux. Sui is a great winner. And you've also got Solana, which, which we know Solana has been competitive with Ethereum now for a long time. It's got great tvl. And then for the remainder of the portfolio, the last 20%, depending on how much risk you want to take, I would look at some meme coins, AI and also DeFi. So for me, Syrup has been a big winner in the Defi space.
