The New Hero of Wall Street Wears “B” on His Chest
The Altcoins That Will Benefit the Most

Teeka’s note: Friends, today I want to introduce you to a special guest, Graham Friedman, my chief analyst on Big T’s Crypto Income.
In his guest essay below, Graham will reveal a new trend he’s seeing that is incredibly bullish for altcoins. You won’t hear about this trend in the mainstream press, either.
So without further ado, here’s Graham with all the details…
The New Hero of Wall Street Wears “B” on His Chest
In every great hero story, the protagonist fails before making an epic comeback.
Think of movie heroes like Luke Skywalker, Rocky, and Batman.
Each hero faced an incredible adversary. Inevitably, the villain would defeat the hero and leave them for dead near the middle of the story.
Yet, like the phoenix, the hero would ultimately rise to the challenge and reach new heights at the end.
In our story, the hero is Michael Saylor…
In August 2020, Saylor went all-in on bitcoin.
The company he founded, MicroStrategy, started buying bitcoin by the truckload – becoming the first publicly traded company to add bitcoin to its corporate treasury.
At the time, most of Wall Street laughed at him. Some called him insane. Others labeled him a conman.
But Saylor ignored them. And MicroStrategy bought 21,454 bitcoin.
When he first announced the buy on August 11, 2020, bitcoin was trading around $12,000. Two months later, it had plunged to $10,000, or down nearly 17%.
Critics skewered him. But Saylor knew bitcoin was the future. And continued to buy, regardless of market conditions. Time has proven him correct.
Since Saylor first announced his plans back in August 2020, MicroStrategy has spent $40.7 billion to amass more than 580,000 bitcoins and become the largest corporate holder of the world’s largest cryptocurrency.
At current prices, the company’s holdings have a value of $61.38 billion. Meanwhile, MicroStrategy’s stock has climbed more than 2,900% since 2020. By comparison, the S&P 500 is up just 76%.
When asked why he chose bitcoin over traditional alternative assets like real estate and gold… Saylor said it was a choice between losing half their treasury to inflation and runaway money printing in a few years or the potential to secure it for years to come.
That’s something Daily editor Teeka Tiwari has been predicting for years. Here’s what he said shortly after MicroStrategy’s announcement in 2020:
Here’s the key to why more and more financial pros will adopt bitcoin… Bitcoin is uncorrelated to the markets. So its price movements aren’t tied to stocks, bonds, real estate, or the business cycle. And just a tiny allocation can boost a portfolio’s returns – while also lowering its risk.
The bottom line: The institutional world can no longer ignore bitcoin. And this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Teeka’s prediction was spot on, too. Saylor had created the blueprint for corporations to come into bitcoin and become a stock market hero.
Today, 80 publicly traded companies have adopted Saylor’s “bitcoin standard” by holding bitcoin as part of their treasury reserves. And more are on the way. But as I’ll show you today, what’s bullish for bitcoin is also bullish for altcoins.
That’s because an enterprising group of corporate executives is innovating Saylor’s bitcoin standard to add altcoins to their balance sheets.
