Ben Simpson (YouTube creator) explains why many retail crypto investors misunderstand how to invest in crypto: they hold large numbers of low-market-cap altcoins (rank ~200–300) chasing multi‑baggers, a strategy he says worked in 2017/2021 but no longer does. He argues value is concentrating into a small set of high‑quality assets that generate real economic value (VC backing, revenue-sharing models), warns that ~98% of older coins will go to zero, and urges focusing on fundamentals and high conviction positions (example: a derivatives platform he called "Hype," which he said is up ~100% and returns revenue to token holders).

People say the crypto is dead, it's too risky. But what in reality is going on when I look at their portfolio is that they're holding altcoins that are in like 200, 300 rank for the market cap. These are crap altcoins. You need to simplify your portfolio. So many people come into crypto and buy 20 or 30 or 40 different altcoins trying to make a 5x or a 10x. Those days are gone. They're over. All right? Back in 2017 or 2021, you could have come into crypto and buy literally anything and it would all have gone up. Now all of the value is being concentrated into the best assets. And in my belief, over the next few years, 98% of the old coins in crypto will literally go to zero. Right, because a lot of them have no value and it's all speculation. Where we invest is into good assets where you have high conviction. They have literally VCs investing in them and they're generating and producing real world, you know, economic value. Think of hype. Hype is a new investment I shared four months ago with our members. It's up 100% is a derivatives platform. Perpetrators, people actually trading on it, and the revenue goes back to token holders. Fundamental is what you need to focus on for crypto. Stop gambling on these old coins. It doesn't work anymore.
