Best Crypto, A.I, & Secret Investments For The Future

In this 2026 YouTube monologue, a 25‑year‑old Canadian investor outlines his personal, non‑advisory investment outlook across multiple asset classes. He begins by framing a macro‑view that precious metals, real estate, Bitcoin and other finite‑supply assets are defensive against manipulated markets and inflation. He then dives into sector‑specific theses, arguing that the next wave of value will be created by "financial plumbing" crypto tokens (XRP, Algorand, HBAR, XDC, Stellar, Energy Web, Quant, Chainlink, Hash, Toncoin, Polygon, Filecoin, Worldcoin, etc.) that underpin payment infrastructure. He links AI’s massive energy appetite to infrastructure stocks (MasTec, Quanta Services, Constellation Energy) and to semiconductor leaders (ASML, TSMC). He highlights the emerging drone and defense supply‑chain space (Ondas, Unusual Machines, Palantir, Red Cat) as another AI‑driven growth area. Quantum computing is presented as a future megatrend, with both pure‑play stocks (Quantum Computing Inc., BTQ) and crypto projects (QANX, quantum‑ready tokens) that could hedge against quantum threats. He briefly mentions biotech cancer‑focused penny stocks and robotics automation (Rockwell Automation) as AI‑enabled opportunities. The video culminates in a "secret" sector – water – where he recommends American Water Works and Xylem, citing a documentary on water scarcity. Throughout, he repeatedly stresses early positioning, personal risk, and promotes a paid "Gold Squad" membership for deeper, exclusive picks.

The government is literally telling you which stocks and which assets to invest in to get the highest returns in the future. Today we're going to go over all of my personal stock picks and asset picks, including crypto assets, uh, some of them for the future, because it is getting very obvious where we are headed and despite everything being manipulated and broken, it is still obvious what to invest in. So we're going to cover it all. Make sure you watch until the end because I have a category, a sector of stocks that is extremely hidden and secret, and I think it will bubble up in the next 5 years. And you know, we want to be early, right? We want to be early. So drop a like, Um, I am dropping other stock picks that are not featured in this video. I'm dropping those for our members in the Gold Squad membership, so that's in there if you want to do that. However, let's get into the stock picks. Now remember, nothing is financial advice inside of this video. I'm literally in a room alone. I'm a 25-year-old from Canada who loves crypto, who loves investing, who loves the internet. I'm not a financial advisor, bro. Come on, we're on the internet. So first off, let's lay the foundations. Okay, Bark Meta lays the foundations perfectly right here. Precious metals are manipulated, housing prices are manipulated, stocks, crypto, and the dollar are manipulated. What are we even supposed to buy? Okay, number one, precious metals are great. Okay, housing, if you can afford real estate, and dirt. That's the top of the line in my opinion. That is the best because they do not make more dirt, okay? They can find and mine more gold and more precious metals. They can mine an asteroid in the future and, and gold scarcity will go down. Uh, I love precious metals, um, but that's the reality. Bitcoin, crypto, easily one of the best because there's finite supply. Okay, stocks as well. I'm not too big of a fan. We're gonna talk about a lot of stocks today. And then the dollar, obviously you don't want to park your money in the dollar because you are getting eaten away by inflation. So that's the backbone of what we're dealing with, and I've laid out what we're gonna cover in this video. So it is getting very clear where we're headed, okay? These are the sectors: crypto, uh, and specifically payments and financial plumbing. That's what you want to aim at, not meme coins, not stupid random cryptos that have no use case. You want to aim at the financial plumbing. So we're going to go over a few of the assets first that I am aiming at for 2026 and beyond that will do well in my personal opinion. We're in this boat together, right? If, if the coins go down, I lose money too. Um, it's— we're all together in this. So AI plus energy, we will go over drones and military, the secret one which is water. I will explain that deeper in the video. Quantum computing, biotech, robotics. Now if I missed any big sectors, I probably have, right? Drop them in the comments because I want to maybe make a follow-up to this. But these are the main, these are the main ones that I'm really focused on. So starting off, obviously XRP for crypto assets, absolute financial plumbing. Okay, we're just going to rattle off the assets Some of the stocks I'm going to go a little bit more in depth. Algorand, financial plumbing, right? Um, HBAR is a financial plumbing token. Now these are the tokens that are going to underline the new financial system, in my opinion. I truly do believe that some of these will have a big role, especially XDC as well, financial plumbing. And by the way, all of these categories. So we've got AI and energy, right? Drones, biotech. You also have crypto digital assets that go with those narratives and those sectors. All of those are— I'm also including, right? So if you know of a quantum computing coin, for example, one of the big ones is QANX. Um, not like crazy solid as a coin, but it is following the quantum narrative. I will be taking profit if this thing goes up, right? So if you find any that also like correspond with biotech or something, we'll also count those. We have XLM, right? Stellar XLM. Banks already using it, just like XRP. Um, we have Energy Web Token, which is one of the ones that aligns with the energy sector. Like hugely aligns with the energy sector. You have Quant, which hugely aligns with connecting everything over Ledger, right? Finite supply, 14 million, dude. You gotta take that into account. They have demand that can be created and they have a supply shock built in because it's, it's such a scarce asset. Uh, then we have— what was the other one? We have, um, QNT. We've got LINK, okay? Chainlink, absolute godly interoperability token. You need— dude, $14 for LINK. Do you know how many days we've spent above $14? Like, that is a pretty good deal on LINK. So those are the kind of the main ones. Um, HASH is really good. Provenance blockchain, also for like the tokenization side of things. Keep your eye on Provenance Hash. I'm saying it now, um, what is it, January 15 or something, right? So Hash is insane. Toncoin is a good bet in my opinion because they have the whole user base of Telegram. Exchange coins I'm less of a fan of, uh, these days. Polygon is trying to be like Ripple now, so that's pretty good. Filecoin is great, super connected. Worldcoin, super connected. All ONDO, super good as well. Um, not too big of a fan of Render anymore. World Liberty Fi could be a good bet for the next couple years as the big man is still in office. But let's move on to the stocks. Okay, we're gonna go down the categories. AI plus energy. Energy is the only real currency. We're gonna realize that AI is going to eat up all of the world's energy. It's going to take so much energy. Um, and one of the stocks that you could go to for this, um, is going to be MasTec. It's an infrastructure construction company, right? Primarily in the US and Canada. So these data centers and everything they're building with AI, they need a construction company like MasTec, right? So it all goes back— you have to think outside the box, right? Obviously OpenAI, and if they do, you know, their stock or whatever, all the big AI company stocks are going to fly as we go further into the singularity. However, you got to think like this stuff takes real life effort, physical things. Now as for the price of this, it could be a bit dangerous right now because it is at all-time high. And you will realize a lot of these are at all-time high, but what— who's to say they cannot continue, right? Because AI is not getting smaller. It is not getting smaller. So we've got Mazetech, right? These are long-term holds. We've got Quanta Services. So Quanta Services is infrastructure solutions as well. And they engage in design, procurement, construction, etc. Okay, same kind of play as, uh, Quanta Services. These are like infrastructure plays. Then we have Constellation Energy Corporation. Okay, they produce and sell energy products in the United States. 5 different segments: electricity, natural gas, energy-related products, It has approximately 31,000 megawatts of generating capacity consisting of nuclear, wind, solar, natural gas. Okay, right now they're going for natural gas because it's the only way. It's the only way. But nuclear, to have your hands in the nuclear pot is great. Now, I, you know, I'm obviously not saying buy these right now or buy any of these. I don't care if you buy them. These are just some of my picks that I think could continue to do well. Um, so going— continuing down the list here, uh, we have semiconductors. Now I didn't write it down because it's part of AI and energy. We have semiconductors, okay? So ASML, uh, semiconductors, they're gonna come, they're gonna come flying, right? This whole future relies on chips. Um, and it, you know, we don't get anywhere without the chips. So ASML also mooning right now at all-time high. Um, AI boom getting more legs from the semiconductor ones. We've got, uh, TSM as well, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing. So this is the way you have to be thinking. Um, and these are mooning. These are mooning right now. It's, it's extremely crazy. They are mooning right now in 2026. So moving on to drones and military, they are telling you where to invest their money. This is Robert Burns. He's putting this video of the Department of War and they're talking like we are AI first, right? If you go here, the Department of War will be AI first. So I mean, AI is taking over everything and he recommends ONS, which is right here. This is the most underrated one in this entire video, in my opinion. Okay, it is currently, um, down. Like, it's not doing that crazy. I guess 491% is pretty good though, but it's been here before in 2021, um, and I think this thing can do a lot better in my personal opinion. He also mentions UMAC, okay, Unusual Machines, which is positioned, he says, to be the picks and shovels of the drone economy. What does that mean, the picks and shovels? Well, when there's a gold rush, you want to be the guy or the company selling shovels to the people digging for gold. So while they're spending all their energy trying to, you know, hit gold and digging through mud to hit gold, you are the one selling them the shovels. Those companies always win selling shovels in a gold rush, right? So Umac, uh, Unusual Machines, right? He spoke to the CEO here, um, and also Ondas Holdings, right? So Unusual Machines, their profile, uh, they are in the commercial drone industry and they offer small drones and essential components, okay? B2B. B2B, business to business, on unusual machines. Obviously we have Palantir, right, for war stocks. This— I mean, Peter Thiel is like a low-key warlord, um, dark lord, Sith lord, whatever you want to call him. He literally is that. Also, they're absolutely printing, and I believe they will continue to print, um, because we— apparently the States needs them. Now this one was an interesting one I found, uh, the drone industry, another drone industry one, um, also integrating robotic hardware and solutions for the military. This one is a bit shaky, like I don't know, this one's a bit flatlined, you know, since forever, right? It's, I mean, it's still doing 408% within the, in 5 years, right? Red Cat Holdings, um, very interesting one as well, $1.7 billion market cap. We've got quantum computing coming in at the next, uh, one. We'll cover water at the end here. Quantum computing, okay, huge. It's going to be huge in the next few years, and this one is based in— where are they based? In New Jersey. Thin-film lithium niobate chips for optional or optical devices. Okay, this is going to be massive, and this narrative actually conflicts with crypto, right? And that's why you want to protect yourself by also getting into cryptocurrencies that can't be affected by quantum computing. XRP is working on that. HBAR is that already. Um, Constellation DAG, I believe, can QANX, these different types of tokens that are already thinking about quantum computing in the future. So that you've got that one, um, and then you've also got BTQ, Quantum Proof of Work. Very interesting. They're actually headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, my hometown. I do not live there anymore, but BTQ, um, super interesting as well in the quantum sector. Okay, quantum sector, BTQ. Um, and if you look at the chart of the BTQ one, I mean, this thing looks like a pretty— you know, it's not doing too well. It hasn't been doing too well, but that could be the time to stack. And also, just to show you on the Quantum Computing Inc one, I mean, what are we talking about here, dude? 23% only, 10% in a year only. These are less popping than the AI ones, of course, right? And the AI energy ones, these are the ones you want to accumulate. And your bet is that quantum computing has a big huge spike, you know, like AI is having, and then boom, you get that 400%. That's what we want. BTQ, $5.49 per share. That's insane. Um, now we also have biotech, okay? All of this stuff kind of ropes into this dystopian future that we're aiming some people are aiming towards. So treatments of cancers, right? They've got like, you know, inhibitors. Basically cancer-focused biotech company, um, with a lot of credibility there. Only $2.08, $2.8, $189 million market cap. Um, way down, right? Way down. Basically, yeah, like a penny stock. What, uh, $2.80 right? This is insane. Some of these biotech stocks, and there's so many, there's so many. I just selected a little bit of ones. Mainly this video is about getting you to think like this, because if you have a stock portfolio, you want to adjust it to where we're actually heading, because AI's gonna— by the way, AI will touch all of these industries. AI is gonna touch drones. AI is gonna touch the water. AI is gonna touch quantum computing, robotics, biotech. And crypto. It's touching everything. That's why it's the god of this. Uh, for robotics, we have, um, Rockwell Automation as one of the, the ones to watch here. Rockwell Automation, 5 years, you know, we are going up, but I mean, and it is tech. Yeah, it's sitting at all-time high too. So this is the wave, right? And this was an easy wave to identify just back in start of 2024, like, you would have got a double from that. That's insane. Now, the final thing we're going to talk about here is the water industry, um, because I watched a documentary, okay, called The Grab. Um, highly recommend this. Highly recommend this. It is made by the guy who made, um, Blackfish. And basically he's uncovering how food and water resources are going to be front and center. It's the grab. They're grabbing up farmland, they're grabbing up lakes, water. Um, and they show how, you know, Russia was flying out American farmers to tend to their cattle because, you know, Russians aren't farmers and America— Americans, they have farmers that are great. So they were flying them out. It's a crazy documentary, but it talks about how water is going to be the key part of the future. Who controls the water and who has the most water basically, and food, um, specifically food too. So apart from these two stocks I'm gonna show you, I did find a cryptocurrency related to this industry if you want, and I did a breakdown, like a 10 to 15 minute breakdown on why I think it's a gem and why I invested in it. That is in the Gold Squad membership. You do get access to a bunch of exclusive content. Link is in the description. You can sign up there if you want to get access to that. But these are the two stocks. American Water Works Company, which is down on 5 years, right? Way down, but is climbing because they know what's coming. It is climbing, it is growing, right? All-time high was in 2021. It's gonna climb again in my opinion. Okay, um, so yeah, that's American Water Works. If we read their profile here, um, They provide water and wastewater services in the US. It offers water and wastewater services on military installations and undertakes contracts with municipal customers, wastewater facilities. They operate 80 surface water treatment plants, 520 groundwater treatment plants, right? Insane amounts of, you know, 1,100 treated water storage facilities. 75 dams. Huge, huge. Um, and yeah, as if you watch the Grab, I think you have to rent it or buy it. How much is it? Yeah, you got to rent it or buy it. I think I rented it for, yeah, $5 or, or $4 there. Worth it, worth it. Knowledge is always worth it. Then we've got, um, Xylem. So XYL. Xylem, uh, is doing a bit better. And look at that, it's just been up only. It's been up only like the S&P 500. There's dips, but it keeps making higher highs. Um, 3-year returns like doing insane, right? And Xylem, if we read their profile, they're doing, um, water infrastructure, applied water measurement, water solutions and services. Etc. So also in the water narrative, I don't think you're gonna find another person really talking about the water narrative. That is all we've got for this video. This is how you have to think, right? When big events happen, there's always stocks that benefit. Uh, I just watched a video of Yung Gravy. He's a rapper, a very interesting rapper, and he said he made $400,000 off of buying calls on 1-800-Flower. I think it's a company, like a flower company, because he knew in coronavirus that there was going to be deaths and lots of them. So he put calls on the flower companies because he knew people would be— it's, it's morbid— but would be buying flowers for all the dead people, right? I mean, No one is thinking like that. That's the way you have to think as an investor. Um, it's like that cause and effect thing. So hope you enjoyed the video. Drop a like, comment, subscribe, all that stuff. Links are in the description. I love every single one of you, and goodbye.
