Bitcoin Beats Gold — But This Coin Could Beat Them Both (Ad)

Bitcoin just hit a record high—but it’s not the top crypto play right now. Crypto analyst Juan Villaverde, who called Bitcoin’s breakout to $100K nearly to the day, says a lesser-known coin could be even bigger. It’s faster, cheaper, and backed by Google, Visa, and top VCs with over $200 million already invested.
