Blockchain Bull: DOGE's Surge, AI Dominance, and Billion Dollar Blockchain Launches
While BTC and ETH hold strong, FET and DOGE see new highs. Plus Aptos, Supra and more interviews.
Another week in the crypto space as Bitcoin and Ethereum look to move back up towards new yearly highs. Meanwhile, during the slight dip and recovery of these two gatekeeping assets for blockchain, we have seen huge growth in altcoins, other layer 1 projects, artificial intelligence, and memecoins. I speak with some huge projects this week, including two blockchains that are still newer but soon to be worth over $1 billion each.
I also touch on why the AI sector is leading the way in narratives, and why you shouldn’t discount Elon's potential to move Dogecoin to $1 sooner than you think. Buckle up because there’s a lot of information to cover!
Exploring Aptos: A Dive into the Next-Gen Blockchain Revolution
My most significant discussion of the week was with Mo Shaikh, the Founder of Aptos. Aptos is a major blockchain that actually emerged from the Meta (Facebook) Libra project. The blockchain is built with the Move programming language and virtual machine, boasting very high speed and low-cost transactions. CEO Mo Shaikh transitioned from working at BlackRock and Vanguard to Meta and other major Web2 companies before heading Aptos, giving him extensive experience.
We discussed why Aptos is leading the way in the DeFi sector, Real World Assets (RWA) in emerging economies, and why you shouldn’t overlook the platform now before it grows even bigger.
Trust me, don’t miss this one, as newer blockchains that are better and faster tend to gain significant traction during the peak of the bull run.
Exploring Supra: A Billion Dollar Game-Changing Blockchain Project
Don't miss out on my discussion with Supra, another major blockchain project that is yet to be released. In the conversation, I speak with CEO Joshua Tobkin about the various feature sets, including bridgeless cross-chain compatibility and integrations with over 50 blockchains. They've also amassed over 500,000 users on their Community Blastoff campaign. It's still possible to participate in the Supra airdrop effort and acquire some tokens before the mainnet launches. Basic KYC is required, mainly to ensure that individuals aren't creating multiple accounts to exploit the airdrop. You can check it out and register here! This project is poised to make a significant impact, and I anticipate that the launch will occur with a Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV) of over $1 billion!
Exploring Krida Fans: Fantasy Sports Onchain with Engage-to-Earn Mechanism
I recently released a video featuring Krida Fans, a microcap project I invested in during the last cycle. They are introducing Fantasy Sports Onchain with tokenization and an Engage-to-Earn Mechanism. If you've ever played Fantasy Sports, this might pique your interest. They've built their platform on top of the Polygon blockchain and are reinventing Play-to-Earn gaming in a fairer way. Check out my discussion with CEO Paurav Joshi for more details.

PredX: Revolutionizing Prediction Markets with AI and Blockchain
I also had a conversation with PredX this week, a Prediction Market that utilizes special AI technology and blockchain to establish a more decentralized and equitable platform for prediction markets and betting on future events.
PredX is constructed on the Sei Blockchain Network, known for its speed and Parallel EVM technology, which ensures its integration with the Ethereum ecosystem. SEI is currently an undervalued network and merits further exploration.

Market Analysis:
Bitcoin holding 70k, so far:
Checking in with Bitcoin, if BTC can continue to hold support above $70,000 and move above its yearly high of $74,000, I expect a near-term target of $80,000 to $82,000, hovering around the 1.618 level on the chart below. While BTC seems to be holding, there is not a super strong momentum pushing it upwards, but it hasn’t lost its steam completely yet. However, it is noted that on EngineeringRobo's 1-day chart, there is currently no buy signal for BTC.
There’s also a chance that we continue to chop in the range between $68,000 and $74,000 for a while, which will also give altcoins more time to breathe and push up more. As long as Bitcoin doesn’t crash below $65,000 and lower, altcoins should continue to rise!
Fetch and the AI SuperAlliance:
#FET - Fetch.ai is currently one of the most prominent AI projects in the space and its popularity continues to grow.
A significant announcement was made on Wednesday, March 27th, regarding the merger of three AI companies into a single super-company— Fetch.ai, Ocean, and SingularityNET.
In an unprecedented move, the three tokens, #FET, #OCEAN, and #AGIX, will also merge into one token, $ASI, known as Artificial Superintelligence.
Although Fetch is the primary and largest token in this merger, all three tokens are experiencing a surge in value following the recent news. A vote on the merger is expected to take place in the first week of April.
Some traders have set price targets of $4, $5, or even $15 for Fetch. With AI, the possibilities seem boundless. Its current value stands at $3.30. EngineeringRobo AI indicates that Fetch is bullish on all time frames, and Smart Money is currently invested in it.
Dogecoin’s highest price since December 2021:
Dogecoin has reached its highest price since December 2021. Doge has begun breaking out of its accumulation phase and is the top-performing project of the day, up 16%, while BTC and ETH have remained relatively stable. The next price target could be around $0.30.
DOGE is anticipated to break its previous all-time high (ATH) of $0.70 and make its way to $1 at some point. It's expected that it will be integrated in some way into X Payments, as Elon Musk has a major affinity for DOGE. However, before DOGE could be implemented into X Payments, Elon first has to obtain a money transmitter license in almost all of the states, most of which have already been approved.
In terms of fundamentals, the DOGE blockchain is actually one of the longest-running blockchains, with fast transaction confirmation and low transaction costs. Additionally, DRC-20 coins and DeFi are now being built on top of Doge. It's no longer just a meme.
Airdrops:
Linea Park Week 5 of 6 for LXP:
For those in the Metaverse, there a few easy mints that just went live on for the Linea airdrop. There's only 6 weeks total, and weeks 1-5 can all still be started now. Check it out!
EigenLayer:
I recommend looking into staking USDe into the Zircuit platform to gain EigenLayer points. EigenLayer is one of the most anticipated airdrops, and most of the methods of earning points for it are closed currently from oversubscription. USDe can be bought on Ethena and then staked on Zircuit. It is earning 7x points right now which go towards the EigenLayer airdrop. a16z invested over $100M into Eigenlayer and it has yet to be released.
Can view the campaign and deposit here.
SUPRA Airdrop:
Supra has 500,000 people signed up for the mainnet airdrop launch of SUPRA tokens. There is still time to sign up for the Supra Blastoff Campaign to earn SUPRA before they are launched in a few months time here. It does require basic KYC but its only for sybil protection to not have duplicate accounts.
Other airdrop tasks to explore:
Use zkSync Paymaster on ZyFi Galxe Campaign (ZKS Airdrop)
Nostra on STRK 10x points available (Stake STRK and Lend nstSTRK):
Manta Network RENEW Paradigm campaign now open.
Many options to earn yield and Manta tokens. My suggestion is taking your STONE from LayerBank (if you got some in Manta New Paradigm, or buy some on LayerBank) and then stake it in LayerBank for ISTONE. LBank has the highest TVL out of the options.
