Internet Computer Protocol is the one coin that is worth marrying. What a lot of you have for crypto portfolios is essentially 20 sloppy side cryptos, and none of those 20 sloppy side coins that you're all over the place on are going to equal having one great coin. I'm going to make the analogy that having one crypto you love and are in for the long haul is very much like dating. What the research shows, at least for dating — and we talk more about that on my Jerry Banfield dating channel — is that people who tend to have fewer partners and build really happy relationships that last, deep spiritual partnerships for the long term, tend to be the happiest. Whereas the people who are in and out of the most relationships and have the highest body counts tend to be the most miserable and unsatisfied.
Same thing with crypto. The more coins you trade, the more you mess with your portfolio, and the more you get into all these other projects, the more you're going to be unhappy, confused, and distracted. The entire point of crypto seems to be to do that to you. The whole point of all these different coins is to get you so distracted that you can't make any sense of things and think clearly. And then you are vulnerable to getting ripped off. You're vulnerable to buying coins that are basically useless. You're vulnerable to having all these exchanges you trade on all the time. You know what I don't do? I don't trade crypto. And that's because I get the benefits of being married to ICP — just like when I'm in a relationship, I don't have to date anymore.
What Being Married Taught Me About Holding One Coin
Now, I'm so excited about my dating life right now. I have a woman I just met a couple of days ago that, oh my God, this is just the best, and I'm going to see her again tomorrow. Really excited about that. But what I can tell you from being with my ex for 15 years is that it made my life so much easier not trying to date. It took an entire part of my brain out. Now that I'm single, there are two main parts of my brain: one thinks about YouTube and business and making money and helping people, and the other thinks about dating. And speaking of helping people — if you are tired of being stuck on ICP, you don't have to figure it out alone. Join the Family. Someone just joined yesterday. You can have a one-on-one call with me every week, plus you'll have a group you can share with — everybody else who's in the same community. You can post your question, share your ICP project, and if you want to film videos together, this is the place to do it.
What I can say is that my brain is split right now between a big focus on dating and a big focus on YouTube. As soon as I'm not dating anymore, that attention goes all to one woman who gets to really enjoy all of me instead of my fragmented attention, and the rest of my focus goes to YouTube. Crypto is so much better when you stop playing with all these other coins. Just like dating, you have this idea that you have all these options and there are all these gains you're missing out on. But the truth is, most people are losing money in crypto. Most people are wasting time in crypto. And the truth in crypto, as Bobby O said in his recent video — which I absolutely loved, as usual — is that the truth is utterly simple.
Crypto Tech Cap: The Coin Worth Marrying by the Numbers
When you look at crypto by technology, I made a site called CryptoTechCap.com to help simplify everything for you and show you why, in my view, ICP is the crypto worth marrying. It is hosted on ICP. And it shows you why this is the coin worth marrying: it has a 97 out of 100 capability score for things a cryptocurrency blockchain ought to be able to do. The next closest, according to their own documentation, can't do hardly a third of that. ICP to me has a thousand-X upside potential because of this. It should be the number one coin in crypto — crypto is logical and rational, if people were thinking clearly. But right now, people are not thinking clearly. And the most vulnerable you are is when you're not thinking clearly.
Now, I'm not giving financial advice, obviously. What I'm saying is that marrying ICP, to me, means making ICP the only coin in my portfolio. Technically, I have some tiny alts on ICP that I will sell as soon as I can, but ICP is the only coin in my portfolio that means anything, that I'm holding on to for the long term. I'm literally selling everything else as soon as I possibly can — tiny little positions in ICP alts that I got locked up in. Even back when I was all in on ICP but spread across all these different ICP projects, I felt this fragmentation of attention, checking ICP explorer prices to see what these other altcoins were doing. That's why I don't even hold any of the meme coin I created, the JBBJ meme coin. I don't want to have to think about what the price of that is. It's got a few thousand holders and a $52,000 market cap, and I don't want to have to think about it. Because I don't have any of it, I don't think about it — very often. I think about it occasionally, just like being married you might think about another woman occasionally, but not most of the time, right?
Sanity, the Suppressed Price, and a Crypto Judgment Day
Being all in on ICP, to me, is the number one way to be sane in the world of crypto, where the truth is on your side and the technology is set up for the long term. Once I've married ICP, I don't need to get involved emotionally — or physically, by buying any of these other coins. I don't need to get involved with anything else. Now, I know some people are so toxic about the ICP price, and I've come to believe that's been intentionally engineered that way. Because if the ICP price was up at a hundred-plus dollars where I believe it belongs, everything else in crypto would immediately be found out to be a total fraud, and that would destroy billions if not trillions of dollars of other people's wealth. However, the technology is in a position that is inevitable at this point. Either it's ICP, or the alternative is that something else comes along instead of ICP — which is unlikely. Otherwise, crypto is absolutely doomed. And if you don't see that, you're going to see it someday.
The question is how many people are going to see this coming in advance versus how many people are suddenly going to get caught by surprise when there's a crypto judgment day, or the equivalent of the 1929 stock crash. There were a lot of people who saw that crash coming at the time, were out, were prepared for it, and made huge amounts of wealth. But the masses were caught unaware. The masses were fooling around with all these stocks, and then there was a Great Depression. The people who saw things coming ahead of time pulled everything out early, made huge amounts of money, lived large for a long time, and some created generational wealth. That, to me, is the opportunity with ICP.
Locked In: Why Nothing Else in Crypto Matters to Me
Being married to ICP allows me to withdraw from the rest of crypto. I don't care what the Bitcoin price is — or Ethereum, XRP, Solana, Cardano, and all these other coins. The prices, the stories, the founders, the narratives: none of it matters. I'm locked in with ICP. The only way I'd divorce ICP is if another coin came along that was vastly technically superior and had massive marketing behind it. The longer no other coin like that comes out, the less likely it looks that it will happen. It's the same as looking at Bitcoin: even though Bitcoin has some of the worst technology in crypto today, it's still dominant because it was the first. And even though Ethereum — which is practically a layer two today — is one of the worst smart contract platforms out there in terms of simplicity, speed, and cost, because all these other ones have come along and made incremental improvements, it's still number two today. Ethereum is one of the worst blockchains, and it holds that spot anyway.
So ICP, at a minimum, is coming for that number three spot, and these other cryptos are just hanging on and doing anything to stay where they're at. ICP is coming for third at a minimum, if not second or first, because it's the first big breakthrough in crypto since Bitcoin and Ethereum. I would argue ICP is the full realization of crypto. Bitcoin and Ethereum are basically dial-up internet; ICP is fiber optic. It can finally do everything you need. And once you have fiber optic internet, you don't need anything else until there's a massive breakthrough — and we haven't seen a massive breakthrough over fiber optic internet in 20 years. So to me, ICP is the dominant future of crypto. It is far enough ahead of everything else that even if something else comes out, it'll be difficult to catch up, because ICP is already so vastly superior.
Side Pieces, 12 Wives, and Voldemort's Soul
I hope every day that my videos help somebody save time and energy in crypto, so you can stop wasting your time. I see a lot of you have ICP, but then you're fooling around with all these other coins too. To me, that's like being married and then trying to have a bunch of side pieces. It doesn't make sense. It's distracting. Now, you do your thing and live how you want to. This is my world, this is my channel, and this is my opinion. I'm not saying other approaches are wrong — I'm saying they're distracting and produce anxiety, chaos, and drama. If you like that, then go for it. The King of Jordan, who has 12 wives last I heard, said that having 12 wives was worse than politics. You'd imagine the King of Jordan would think politics was pretty bad, and yet with 12 wives, he's like: I buy one $100,000 necklace and then the other 11 all want something. That's what having all these coins is doing to your portfolio.
Every coin is an emotional attachment, like Voldemort splitting his soul up into all these places. It fragments your energy. In the short term, you might feel like you're stronger because you can't just be taken out. And marriage — loving one woman — feels extremely vulnerable, because if something happens, like getting divorced the way I did last year, that's a devastating loss. At the same time, though, it keeps things simple, because my space is totally cleared out for one amazing woman. And maybe that space is getting filled now.
Imagine Never Having to Look for Another Crypto
In the meantime, though, I had 15 years where I didn't have to look for another woman, which is really nice. Imagine what your life would be like if you didn't have to look for another crypto. How many hours would you put into watching crypto videos if all you cared about was ICP, and you didn't have to watch all these other people with Bitcoin price charts and Ethereum data and narratives coming around? None of that stuff matters to me. I'm in position with ICP. The rest of crypto can burn, and I hope it does, because it's almost all fraud and lies and junk. And when it burns, it's going to burn down, and ICP is absolutely in the position to take over after that. The only questions are: how long can the charade continue to go on? How much will ICP accumulate from the rest of crypto burning down? Will ICP burn down a bit with it — though it's hard to go down much more than it is now? And how long will all this take before ICP rises?
The nice thing with the marriage is that you can relax and be in it for the long term. You don't have to worry about anything else. So I hope I've helped you relax a little bit today — I feel that's one of the best things I could do, if you can see how easy your world would be without all of it. I used to spend hours watching garbage crypto content every day. The same useless narratives, hype, and speculation: Solana's coming out with a phone, Charles Hoskinson just said this, here's what the Bitcoin on-chain data shows, here's this price chart, here's this meme coin. God, that sucked. I've got better stuff to do with my time than to listen to all that.
Let's Turn This One-Way Relationship Into a Real One
And if you want to have the life of your dreams today, imagine talking with me every week. I'm here to be your coach. I am in a position to listen to you and get to know you. You spend all this time listening to me, which I'm very grateful for, but I don't know you at all. I want to know you, because right now I'm just talking to a screen. This is a one-way relationship, which is not a relationship — this is just me talking to you.
I'm so grateful that somebody I recognize just joined yesterday, and I've got two calls with people from the Family today — two different people. You can have a call with me every week when you join the Family. I should charge thousands of dollars a month for that: four calls a month, 25 to 30 minutes each, four times. You can also DM me — I'm available every day, and I get the messages straight on my phone. If you DM me there, I'd love to get to know you.
I'm married — I'm married to ICP. But to me, family is something you want as big as possible: family, friends, relatives, cousins, nieces and nephews. Have one wife, one coin, and then have the family as big as possible. So we're making the Family as big as possible, and I invite you to be one of the first members. I would love to get to know you.
And when you talk to me, I will have your viewpoint to consider when I make my future videos, so you'll be able to have a direct impact. Instead of me watching other people's content, I'll be taking in what you have to say and considering it in my future videos — and you can see the results of that kind of input in every review I publish on my Crypto Reviews playlist. That's how you get to see your influence show up in my videos in the future.
