🚀 Top 10 Cryptos I Am Holding For 2023 & Beyond 🚀

What is up? I am Crypto Mason and welcome back to the Crypto Mason YouTube channel. Shout out to the Gold Squad. We look for gold in every single aspect of our lives and we always find it. Now today we are on the other side of 2022. It is day 1 of January, and that one number, that one is extremely powerful, uh, just as a psychological thing. And that's where New Year's resolutions come from, right? It's one, it is the first day, and you get 365 of these things, of these 24-hour periods, uh, in the year. So make today, like, use this day to set a your intention for the entire year. Make sure today is a great day, uh, but this could be the year, man, where you become a multi-millionaire. The crypto market doesn't have to skyrocket for you to become a crypto millionaire, uh, or, or just a multi-millionaire in general. There are other things. You can build stuff inside the crypto market— excuse me— that will make you a millionaire. It's possible. The smartest people get rich in this industry without even crypto going up, right? Crypto going up contributes to it, but you can really do it without it. Uh, and if you want to learn more, eventually we will be talking about that inside of the Gold Squad Discord, so make sure you join that. Other than that, Happy New Year's to everybody. Drop a like and comment on the video. Uh, leave your New Year's resolution or, uh, one of your goals in the comments. Obviously, I'm not a fan of New Year's resolutions at all. I think if you need to make a change in your life, make a change. It does not matter, you know, that it's a new year. But psychologically, that number 1 can be very, very helpful to some people. So let's get into it. First of all, I wanted to give a shout out to, uh, builtonhedera.hbar, Rove's Empire, in our Discord server. A major supporter. And look at him, he's repping the Gold Squad hoodie with the big original GS logo on the back. You know, each Gold Squad merch purchase comes with a free shout out, you better believe. Uh, take a picture in it, post it up, make sure everyone sees you're repping it. Now let's get into the market. Bitcoin up $100 from yesterday. Uh, now down to $99, right? $16,600 right there. Ethereum, the exact same. You know, this is how it is in the bear market. These things stay the same. There's really— you, you're not even really supposed to be, or you can't really keep up with price action because it's just flat. There's nothing really to talk about, uh, with price action, right? Most of the TA people are now like kind of trying to predict when the bull market will start back up again. But really, dude, you're just looking for deals right now, and you're tracking the news and the developments on all of these networks. That's what you need to be tracking. And I encourage you all to be building something, uh, in this space so that you can keep yourself interested in the space. One of the ways that people never get rich in crypto is by sleeping. They start sleeping on the crypto space and then they wake up and all the prices are up and they miss their opportunity. You need a bunch of stuff to keep you interested in crypto. That's why it's good that you follow me and you follow other crypto people, is to keep you involved in the industry, keep you involved in this market and interested, right? You need to surround yourself with this crypto information. And then you'll never— you know, when I go on my phone, all I can see is, is crypto. When I go on Twitter, it's all crypto. That's what you need to have to keep yourself interested, and that's going to end up in you being rich in this industry, best believe. Because if I would have not slept through the crypto bear market in 2017 and 2018, I would, I would have made so much money, bro. So much money. But I chose to sleep. Well, I didn't choose to sleep, I just fell asleep to it because it was so boring, right? A lot of these coins are not moving crazy right now, uh, which, you know, can lower the intrigue on this industry. So let's get into, you know, some of these prices and some of the movement right now. HBAR 3.6%, uh, Algorand 2.8%. We've got Lido DAO being the biggest gainer. You know, FTT, I don't— like, I just, I understand it, but come on, man. Why, why is FTT in the biggest gainers right now? That makes— it's just so dumb. It's just so dumb. A coin like that should only go— excuse me— only go down, right? Um, but moving into some of the news, we are finishing 2022 with the lowest volume in 2 years. So all the exchanges have the lowest volume they've ever had in 2 years. Congratulations, you made it through one of the hardest years in crypto ever. The amount of horrible stuff that we had happen, uh, was insane, but you made it through and you're watching this video right now, right? We're finishing off the year with the lowest volume on exchanges in 2 years, like, and you're still here, you're still listening, Uh, and I appreciate, and you know, I big up anyone who is still listening at this point. Uh, and I mean, the patient and the strong ones will win. They will win. So here's a nice, uh, here's a nice little video I made yesterday. Cryptos that will do very well and not go to zero, in my opinion. So basically in this video I'm saying in 2023 and beyond uh, what are the cryptos that are going to do very, very good and not go to zero? Uh, and this is coming off the back of the other video I did where basically I show Brad Garlinghouse saying that 99.9% of cryptos are going to zero. I do agree with him. Here are some of the ones that I believe are not going to zero. Let's check this out and then I'm gonna expand on it. Obviously making you wait the 9 seconds for the TikTok algorithm. And then we've got my list right here: Bitcoin, ETH, XRP, LINK, Algorand, HBAR, Quant, XLM, DAG, XDC, uh, and there's a bunch more that I missed, uh, that I just, you know, didn't want to put on this list at the moment, uh, but there's a lot more that will also make it. Enjin, Gala, uh, some other, you know, projects I've talked about in the past. Helium, probably, you know, Helium has some doubt, a tiny, tiny bit of doubt in my mind, but I do think it'll make it. Um, now a lot of comments on this video were, Mason, your top 10 picks are the same every time. Um, yeah, dude, yeah. Have you ever heard of strong conviction and a consistent message around the greatest utility coins on the market? Of course my picks are the same. I actually have consistency and conviction. I don't care about the prices. I'm stacking the bags. It's the mindset of a Bitcoin maxi, actually, is basically just stack, stack, stack, stack, and you know for sure that one day those will be worth more, and then you can sell, uh, periodically. So of course, yes, my top 10 picks are basically always the same. I have like a, a, an allotment of 20 to 50, or I would say, yeah, 20 to 50 coins that I only care about, and I only think will really make it. Um, and if you do want to see that entire list, it's called the Altcoin Master List, uh, crafted by me and Megan, uh, Meg BZK. Go subscribe to her as well on YouTube. Uh, it's basically a list of altcoins that I have given like my stamp of approval that I think are, are great coins. That is available in the VIP section of the Gold Squad Discord, uh, which as I said, we are launching the new VIP. It's currently closed We're launching it, uh, in the start of January, so early January, right? So we also— let's get into some Algorand stuff. We have Coin Bureau, um, actually shilling Algorand right here and saying he believes it's going to be a great project. Take a look at this.

I think Algorand is a really interesting potential play for the next bull market. I think we could see a lot of really cool, really interesting, really successful projects develop in its ecosystem, you know, during that time. I think it has a good, a good shot as one of these non-EVM chains as well. I think that positions it really, really well. And yeah, they're just— again, there seems to be a lot of developments, a kind of strong community behind Algo too.

So, so he's saying strong community, a lot of development. He thinks we're going to see, you know, successful projects develop in the ecosystem, and he thinks it's good, uh, it has good positioning as a non-EVM chain. I agree with all of this, and these are some of them, the reasons that I'm also in Algorand. Um, so big shout out to Coin Bureau for actually, uh, shilling Algorand right there. We do appreciate that. Algo, uh, is one of the strongest plays, I believe, for the next bull market. That's a great way to put it, for the next bull market. So you need to stack it now so that when we're in the next bull market, uh, you'll be good. So let's— speaking of Algorand, the Algorand Foundation put out this 2-minute video. We're gonna watch some of it here, uh, about their like year and, and what happened during the year. So let's take a look at this, it's very epic. And then we're gonna get into some HBAR stuff, some big secret HBAR stuff that people have found going on, uh, and then we will get into why crypto is unstoppable. Let's watch this. The path ahead is challenging, but our cause is just. Go Algo! 4.2 billion ALGO committed to governance. Oh my goodness, look at this, they're just listing off the great things. 900 new applications launched to mainnet. Like, just 10 to 15x on everything. And then they go and show some of the NFT projects, some, uh, some of the news articles that have happened, right? We've got Lofty AI, which is doing, um, excuse me, real estate. That's a real estate, uh, project on, uh, ALGO right there. We've got, you know, Argo— Agro token expands Visa partnership. Like, all these articles that have came out, uh, Nigeria and Algorand. We had the Italy Excuse me. Damn. But this is a great little roundup video, you know, showing just all the success. I think every project should do this. Every project. Like, if you're a project and you don't have like a 2022 highlights video, just like a 2-minute video made like this, you're not doing it right. And that's why I love the Algorand Foundation so much. They know exactly what the hell they're doing. They know exactly, and, and, you know, they're pushing the adoption forward on the Algorand network here. So moving on, we did have Poalo— Paolo, I don't know how to pronounce his name, uh, but this is the guy that's— that said about the HBAR announcement that we covered yesterday, uh, and yes, I did recognize that he hasn't been at Quant for years, so it probably did not involve Quant, uh, and he confirmed this. He said, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but the announcement is not about Quant. I haven't worked with Quant for many years now. And I deleted my tweet. I deleted my tweet, okay, because I did say, uh, that it's HBAR and Quant. But we still get to look forward to HBAR being, um, having a massive announcement. Now speaking of some HBAR stuff, HBAR Bull actually, um, is noticing that there's an application that's very busy creating Hedera accounts, right? 1.44 million accounts, uh, right there. Created accounts: 59,244. Active accounts: 5,143. So people are speculating that this is something called Ashfall, okay? Ashfall is the game uh, that's building, uh, which is very interesting. This guy, Energy Trade Token, also realizes 50,000 accounts in a day. Um, and Ashfall Episode 1, you know, he's saying for one, Ashfall will be a comic book as well as a comic book as well. Garvin, along with illustrator Brett Booth, who made Teen Titans, Stormwatch, Justice League of America, creating the Ashfall digital comic. The comic will be $100, which includes a Founder's Token NFT for that price. Uh, he's saying this is interesting in that it highlights some of the capacity that the Hedera mainnet can handle, right? So massive account creation happening, uh, probably for the Ashfall, uh, I believe it's a game too. Yeah, game going live. Very cool. So we got Stefan Lavera. We're going to talk a little bit about the Illuminati narrative here of, you know, crypto is evil, it's introducing CBDCs. He says physical cash will be gone in our lifetimes. I absolutely believe that we will see physical cash disappear in our lifetimes. Nobody will be using it, and I think that will happen sooner than you think. And they're going to push a CBDC, which is a central bank digital currency, They're going to push it on you or force you to use it. Cash will be worthless, uh, and you will have to use their CBDC. And you guys know with CBDCs, they can make your money expire if you don't spend it in time. They can make your money not spendable unless it's spent at a grocery store or somewhere else, you know. So they can give you potentially in the future a universal basic income, and literally portions of that will only be spendable on certain things. That's the control. It's programmable money, uh, with a CBDC. And obviously there's no privacy at all. It's all, you know, they can control it all. We don't want that, right? And he's saying that we can choose a CBDC or Bitcoin, but I opt to say that we can choose a CBDC or crypto, right? This is a Bitcoin maxi talking right here, and crypto is the solution in my opinion. Crypto is normalizing the adoption and normalizing the concept of digital currency, which is a bad thing for CBDCs, but it's also a good thing because, you know, once they try to put the CBDC on us, I'm just gonna go and use a different cryptocurrency, right? And whatever everybody gravitates to is what will be used, um, instead of the CBDC. Very, very cool, uh, point right there by that guy. Uh, so take a look at this, okay? This is extremely, extremely amazing. This is, uh, Anton, uh, or sorry, Andreas Antonopoulos or something his name is. Uh, I, I forget what his last name is. Let's see, Andreas, Andreas Antonopoulos. I look so stupid trying to— yeah, Andreas Antonopoulos. Yes, I pronounced it right. Okay, perfect. This guy explains in a very comedic way, uh, why people cannot stop Bitcoin. And this goes for basically every crypto as well. Watch this. You have any concerns about— 2-minute video, it's worth it. Watch this. You have any concerns about a large nation-state that has, um, interest in just actively destroying Bitcoin? To make their own, you know, super rigs and design chips and just throw hundreds of millions or billions of dollars to intentionally disrupt the blockchain?

Yeah, I don't worry about that at all. This cannot be done with Bitcoin anymore. This is something that can only be done with nascent altcoins. Bitcoin has achieved a level of computing that no single nation-state can overthrow it through computation alone. The effort to do so would require require a massive covert operation of chip fabrication, then the coordinated assault that would give them dominance over the next block for 10 minutes, until we kick those bastards off the network, rework the protocol around them. They would be revealed. They would have lost $1 billion doing this, and all they got to do was one double-spend. Here's the thing: long before we get to that point, they figure out that if they just let this stuff run, they can actually get some Bitcoin as a reward, because the incentive structure actually works. I'm not worried about that. A lot of people are watching the blockchain. As I said before, what are they going to do? They take over, fork the blockchain, and go somewhere. They've created an alternative blockchain. Great. What are we going to do? Who's going to join the NSA blockchain? Anybody want to jump on Fedcoin? So we're all going to stay on the old fork. Difficulty will go down, it will get more profitable for the miners who stayed behind, and we'll carry on with our coin, and they can go mine whatever the hell they want on their alternative blockchain. They achieve nothing. They can't make protocol changes because, as I said, 5 constituencies in consensus. And it would take a billion dollars to pull the most ridiculous Keystone Cops failure in history. Plus, this would actually require government that can do IT.

Like, this dude should be a comedian, but, uh, that, you know, he's presenting that in a very funny and sarcastic way, but it's all true. It's all true. They can't stop it. It's too far gone, man. It's too far gone. So that is all we've got for today's video. Uh, make sure that you drop a like and comment, subscribe, follow on Instagram, Twitter. Happy New Year's to everybody. Uh, you know, you guys will do very well in 2023, uh, if you stick around in this market. So that is all. Uh, I love every single one of you, and goodbye.
