At RiskHedge, we focus on world-class disruptive companies.
We have been deeply involved in this area for many years and have a track record of successful disruptive stock recommendations: Nvidia (NVDA), Trade Desk (TTD), Palantir (PLTR), TSMC (TSM), Albemarle (ALB), and more. These stocks have all achieved at least triple-digit growth, with TTD's increase exceeding 950%.
In short, disruptive stocks change the world by creating, transforming, and completely altering entire industries.
But today, we see a huge opportunity for another type of disruptor—cryptocurrency.
When we talk about disruptors, we often hear some phrases: changing industries, changing the world, flipping entire sectors…
Let's be more specific. Many of the best disruptors achieve huge returns because they excel at one thing: eliminating intermediaries.
You can think of true disruptors as heat-seeking missiles specifically designed to find and destroy "middlemen" like travel agencies, real estate agents, and stock brokers.
Think about the hassle of booking a vacation before the internet. The only way to find out which airline flies where was to pick up the phone and call for inquiries, which was time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Then, online disruptors like Expedia (EXPE) and Priceline (BKNG) emerged. With just a few clicks, you can compare any flights or hotels worldwide. Since 2000, more than half of travel agencies in the U.S. have closed.
Meanwhile, Priceline has delivered huge returns for early investors. Since 2002, its stock price has risen over 60,000%.
Now, look at stock brokers. They used to be the highest-paid middlemen in the world. In 1975, brokers charged an average fee of $49 per trade!
Today, stock brokers are gradually disappearing. For most people, there’s no need to call a broker when you can trade stocks for free through Interactive Brokers (IBKR), Schwab (SCHW), or almost any platform. Schwab has risen 475% from 2003 to early this year. Interactive Brokers increased by 455% from 2013 to 2021.
Real estate agents are also facing similar pressure from online competition. Zillow (Z) has made researching any home or community simple and free. Its stock appreciated over 600% from 2015 to 2021.
These are all disruptive stocks. And the disruptor I’m focusing on now is disruptive cryptocurrency.
How is cryptocurrency a disruptor?
Most people view cryptocurrency as "internet money."
Bitcoin (BTC) is one such internet currency. The technology behind it—blockchain—automates trust between strangers. It will become the ultimate middleman killer.
Think about when you buy stocks; you don’t know the person selling you the shares. Or when you shop online, you send money to a stranger.
We have always relied on bankers and brokers as trusted intermediaries to facilitate these transactions. Blockchain makes these intermediaries redundant.
For example:
You may have heard of Uniswap (UNI).
You can think of Uniswap as a new Nasdaq. It is a blockchain-based cryptocurrency stock market worth $7 billion. You can visit uniswap.org to buy thousands of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum (ETH), and more.
Unlike the stock market, Uniswap is not operated by brokers. Every Uniswap transaction is handled by code. This code directly connects buyers and sellers, completely eliminating intermediaries.
Uniswap's trading volume has just surpassed $20 trillion, which is larger than Australia’s GDP.
Its UNI Token has delivered over 500% returns for early investors.
Aave (AAVE) is another disruptive cryptocurrency that threatens to put middlemen out of work. It is disrupting the most profitable business of banks: lending.
Traditional finance is in trouble. But it’s not just finance…
Disruptive cryptocurrencies are stealing business from middlemen everywhere.
Currently, the most innovative and fastest-growing businesses are being built on blockchain. This is the ultimate opportunity for cryptocurrency, just like buying internet stocks in the 90s.
We focus on finding disruptive cryptocurrencies that eliminate intermediaries in entirely new ways. These are real businesses making real money… and disrupting entire industries in the process.
In our RiskHedge Venture cryptocurrency consulting service, we have invested in Hivemapper (HONEY), which is reshaping the "mapping" industry. Hivemapper produces a 4K HD dashcam. Anyone can purchase this dashcam and install it on their rearview mirror.
As you drive, this camera automatically "maps" the roads, just like Google Street View cars. Hivemapper then inputs these images into its global map.
Hivemapper pays you in cryptocurrency to update its maps. In other words, you can earn Tokens just by driving.
Hivemapper launched in November 2022 and has grown astonishingly… Hivemapper contributors have mapped 477 million kilometers of roads. In comparison, that’s almost three times the distance from the Earth to the Sun.
We detail Hivemapper and two other cryptocurrency disruptors in this special report.
One major advantage of cryptocurrency is that individual investors can invest in projects early.
Much earlier than they can enter the stock market.
We recommended HONEY when its price was slightly above $0.01. Later, when the price rose to $0.12 (an increase of over 1000%), we suggested "riding the wave" (selling enough shares to recoup your initial investment).
Today, most companies wait until they are large enough to go public. Nowadays, acquiring an exciting, fast-growing company at one cent in the stock market is unheard of. You have to be a venture capitalist to get such early investment opportunities. But in the cryptocurrency space, anyone can do it.
