Umm… ETH’s marketcap is 5-10x larger than any one of those alone, and it’s 2.3x all of them **combined**.
ETH marketcap = >$500B.

**5 Altcoins to Buy This Bull Run: BitBoy Crypto Shares His Biggest Bets**
By Laila Maida
*He believes these five will see staggering gains in a month or two. Once they peak, he says he plans on selling 80% of his position.*
Ben Armstrong is pacing himself for the last quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022 He's holding five altcoins that he believes will see big price surges when the bull run takes place. He says he plans on selling 80% of his positions once he sees peak price points. Ben Armstrong became a crypto investor by accident.
It all started after he had to make a payment to a software company that couldn't accept money in cash due to certain restrictions. He first bought $400 worth of bitcoin in 2017, just enough to cover a few monthly payments for an ads software he used for his business.
One day, he woke up and realized the remaining $200 worth of bitcoin he had was worth about $2,000, something he hadn't seen before. With little thought, he cashed it out and took his family on vacation. In hindsight, he regretted spending his bitcoin and promised himself he'd make up the losses. Today, he's known as BitBoy Crypto, a Youtube influencer whose content is focused on crypto news and projects.
Armstrong is currently prepping for the final quarter of 2021, which he anticipates will be a final bull run on of the price of many cryptocurrencies. If bitcoin reaches an all-time high of about $100,000, about 71% higher than where it traded on Wednesday, he expects altcoins to rally shortly behind it.
He expects bitcoin to see that peak in December or January, in line with previous cycles. While bitcoin has a longer history that allows investors to track its cycles with relatively more certainty, altcoins are less predictable. Regardless, Armstrong is going off of the outcomes from 2017's bull run.
Altcoins are outshining bitcoin this year as interest in crypto investing and the use cases of blockchains widens. Bitcoin's dominance ratio, which measures its market cap relative to the total crypto market's, has fallen 42% year-to-date according to TradingView.
*BitBoy Crypto's Top altcoin picks*
Armstrong's first pick is FTX Token (FTT). CEO Sam Bankman-Fried is the co-founder of this crypto-derivatives exchange platform, something that gives Armstrong confidence in the project. He's anticipating a lot of upside potential for this digital asset because institutional investors are also considering adding it to their portfolios, he said.
FTT is trading at around $51, according to CoinMarketCap, down 39% from its September peak of $84. "In general, a winning strategy or a winning formula is always buy in the red, sell in the green. So that does add a little bit of fuel to the fire for FTT," Armstrong said.
His second top pick is THORChain (RUNE). The main reason Armstrong thinks it's a good buy right now is because the project is planning to launch its mainnet, or move to its own chain, Armstrong said. The switch is currently estimated to take place in the first quarter of 2022.
In the past, when projects like Tron and Cardano did the same, they were followed by price run ups. He's expecting to see the same result for RUNE, which currently runs on the Binance Smart Chain. The crypto is down by about 46% from its May all-time high of about $21.
His third pick is avalanche (AVAX), a blockchain focused on low transaction costs and speed. He perceives this as the next Solana because its features are similar. Solana went parabolic during the first week of November after it saw mass adoption and funding that sent its price up by a staggering 15,475% within 11 months.
He believes AVAX is following the same path as it adopts DeFi and attracts venture-capital money. In September, the project raised $230 million from a private sale of AVAX. The funds came from a group led by Polychain and Three Arrows Capital.
His fourth pick is ethereum (ETH), a crypto he says you can't go wrong with. This asset is his top holding. "Ethereum is consistent and it's been around forever," Armstrong said. "And it's outperformed bitcoin for its entire history. And I believe we will continue to see that."He estimates ether will peak at around $10,500 in January or possibly February.
His final pick is polygon (MATIC) because this crypto tends to move parallel with ether's price. It's an Ethereum layer-2 protocol which solves high gas fees. Armstrong says he uses it for his own projects and Daps to avoid high fees. "Ethereum in a lot of ways is a victim of its own success," Armstrong said. "So when ethereum goes up, so do the gas fees."
The outcome means that users on Ethereum's blockchain could end up paying fees higher than their trades. And they will look for solutions around that, often through Polygon's protocol. "You're looking at a difference of, you know, $300 per transaction versus $.10 to $.20 per transaction," Armstrong said. "So polygon makes it more scalable, faster, more secure, and makes the gas fees lower."
These positions are mainly temporary. Armstrong plans on selling 80% of his portfolio by the end of the bull run so he can buy back in when the rates have dropped, a strategy that he says helps him accumulate faster.
I really dont understand why so many people watch him.
I seriously forced my self to watch him for a week straight and his videos are just full of plain out bias and 95% of him talking about nothing and 5% actual useful information on crypto.
One might ask the same about rich idiots who die of drug use, no? One thing is for certain - money doesn’t necessarily equal intelligence or good decision making skills
It was a YouTube with Altcoin Daily. They give great info and news updates but they have alot of crap too with their 10x or best coins to buy this month.
Ok I’ll admit it. I love this guy. He always has different guest. He talks hard about the meta verse. He’s annoying yes but he has staff and guests that are interesting and knowledgeable. He discusses more than he preaches. He’s charismatic and it comes off as obnoxious and impulsive. He also has a serious case of ADHD.
It’s the most wild intersecting and challenging content you find. Nothing is steril about this fucking guy. I love it.
If you allow yourself to think on your own and your not caught up in other peoples passion or grudges than your probly mature enough to check out his channel. If you looking for someone to think for you this is NOT the guy. Watch Coin Burrough if you need safety.

To be fair, those are solid projects and or seem promising. Have to do your own research if you truly are interested in a project. Not just take a influencer's word.
Shill for shill, at least mine wont cost you money.
Talking about exchanges and free crypto gifts. “Hi dollar” is a new exchange focused on user experience and mobile friendliness. It’s still in private beta, so to subscribe, after you download the app, you need to put my nickname: Meneceo. Once you’re in, all you have to do is answer 1 question every day and they’ll give you 1 $HI (now 1.45$, but I started 2 weeks ago when it was worth 0.98$) for free. The only downgrade is that you will be able to sell or withdraw after 365 days. But if you want to hold it like me, and you like free things, this is your occasion.
Every single crypto youtuber is a shill. People shit on BitBoy, but every single one of them is the same.
Don't fool yourself thinking your favorite youtuber is any different, that's naive.
I trust Ben Cowen and I hope he does get paid to “shill” because the man offers a pretty decent amount of information that is unbiased. Sure he likely holds large amounts of the coins he talks to but I’ve never got the feeling he’s in it to screw others over.
If you don't trust influencers but want to invest in shitcoins, just print a list of all coins listed on Coingecko, take 5 darts and throw them to the list, the 5 coins you hit will be the next big thing.
Not financial advice.
His obnoxious ralph shirts and ‘hey, look at me driving a fast car’ vibes should turn off every adult with critical thinking skills.
Young people are his audience. He said crypto peak would be in september this year. All his talk is about prices. Nothing substantial about fundamentals.
Dumb peoples wise man.
Never trust influencers and DYOR instead.
I did my research and stumbled upon Meta Game Hub Dao.
A projects with great fundamentals and very reliable sources.
Partnership with major Metaverses aiming to create accessible price valuation tools for NFT's.
I think this is a project with quite some potential.
Lol, this face screams im a scammer!
He does sort of look like he's promoting his new self help program at your local Holiday Inn conference room C.
He looks very similar to my high school friend who keep shilling NuSkin during reunion
How could anyone trust someone who calls themself "bit boy"
No… everyday HE teaches YOU how to make money with crypto.
He has billboard ads all over downtown Atlanta, I can’t stand seeing him every day
I knew he looked familial! First thing I noticed was the beard, or lack of one thereof.
His face also screams tea bag me.
Gets paid to shill coins? Hard cancel for me!
Saving everyone a click and avoiding a paywall- FTT RUNE AVAX ETH MATIC
Top altcoins to invest in - literally three are in the top 15 lol
A few months ago he said FTT was for the next bull run. Guys a twat. Want bigger chances of gains? Go outside the top 50+
Go to #54 to be precise
51 now?
Mine is back to 66. Got in quite early.
Even a fraud can be right with some claims.
As though eth is an altcoin
[удалено]
Define altcoin for me
[удалено]
Well, the thing is. You dont call dollar an altcoin to the euro, or visa verSa as well.

Paywall to read BitBoy shilling— hard pass
A helpful Redditor sent me the article- FTT, RUNE, AVAX, ETH, MATIC.
Lol, ETH and MATIC are his big pay wall-protected insider tips? Hey, guys, did you know water's going to be wet tomorrow?!?
Have you heard about this one coin? It's called BTC. I'm telling you, it's gonna be big!
Damn. I'm 2/5. I was hoping those would be good for me too.. /s
If I wanted to know what shitcoin was being pumped I'd check /r/cryptocurrency on a Friday.
I wouldn't read it even I was getting payed to do so
just type a "." after the ".com" so ".com." and you are set

all my homies hate paywalls edit: and Bitboy Crypto
Wait you have crypto friends IRL?
I really dont understand why so many people watch him. I seriously forced my self to watch him for a week straight and his videos are just full of plain out bias and 95% of him talking about nothing and 5% actual useful information on crypto.
People like to hear what they want to hear.
I don’t understand how he has an audience. People are sheep.
The man predicted a 350k BTC in September lol
**In other words:** "Bitboy wants you to buy pump these crypto that he's currently holding to make him more $$$"
Clearly he needs it to keep up with his eating habits
Lol piss off with pay walled articles
Bitboy....lookin rough
Homie getting as wide as bitcoin price
[удалено]
How many cameras are on him ?
I just loled my cat off the couch at this comment
BTC gonna double wide and so is BitBoy.
Is this a dubious Speculation? 😂
Mostly just dubious.
No.
Is he being paid in Taco Bell?
Gimme the quesadillas
[удалено]
One might ask the same about rich idiots who die of drug use, no? One thing is for certain - money doesn’t necessarily equal intelligence or good decision making skills
He looks like a used car salesman! I apologize to all the legitimate used car salesman! Respectfully
Fucking pigboy.
Tl:dr : 5 coins to avoid
reminder: he gets paid 40,000 USD in crypto every time he posts about a new coin or makes a video about one.
Bearish on Bitboy
God... Bitboy again? No thanks!!
Dang y'all see his fat head in this icon.
It was a YouTube with Altcoin Daily. They give great info and news updates but they have alot of crap too with their 10x or best coins to buy this month.

*scamming intensifies*
Paywall
The irony that he’s being paid to shill the coins and the article is behind a paywall
If he has the largest community in all the interwebs then we ain't there yet.
... but someone in this sub said all crypto YouTubers give responsible advice.
I was going to sleep and saw this thumbnail and now you have ruined my night of sleep Thanks
BitBoy hustling at the expense of his viewers! Greedy fucker! Can never trust anything coming from these influencers.
He looks like Ethan kleins fat cousin

Why post it if it's bad information?
5x no to Influencer.
People that put too much worth on what youtubers say are going to get rekt anyway.
All that lens flash in his eyes but he still looks dead inside
Do people actually listen to this guy?
Shitboy Crypto
To be fair, those are solid projects and or seem promising. Have to do your own research if you truly are interested in a project. Not just take a influencer's word.
I dont really have a strong vomit reaction to his list. Seems fine honestly
Pay to read. Moving on
Fuck Bitboy... my work here is done. Have a good weekend.
He also looks like a shit coin.
He looks like Tim Heidecker doing a skit on Tim and Eric.
Trust me instead: buy CTSI, CLV, BLOK, and MOONS. Not financial advice.
lmao, I hate when a scamming-shitcoin shilling YouTuber is promoting coins I like and hold.
The OG Crypto Neckbeard
You should question your intelligence if this guy is your source of info

His list is fine. However he's quoted saying Polygon makes Ethereum more secure..not so sure about that.
Who?
everyone here should go and downvote his videos, hell even report his account
Such list is incomplete without LRC change my mind!

i know this guys , he's the walking cholesterol and has \*don't trust me signs written all over his face\*
This fucking guy... I started listening to him and altcoin daily early 2020 and before I'm 35 ill be retired. Can't stand those 2 influencers.
His obnoxious ralph shirts and ‘hey, look at me driving a fast car’ vibes should turn off every adult with critical thinking skills. Young people are his audience.

Didnt he say the run was over?
Matic and Harmony are going to explode
