s it just me or are the scammers even more active these days? More text-message scams seem to be sneaking by than usual, from real estate 鈥渄eals鈥� to fake warnings about coronavirus exposure. We鈥檝e also seen scammers call people and exploit the government stimulus checks to try and get their bank account numbers. Alphabet (GOOGL) reported in mid-April that it detected 18 million COVID-19 email scams in a week. That included malware attachments plus 鈥減hishing鈥� scams.

I knew a lot of you were interested in cryptocurrencies, but the response from my聽2020 Crypto Millionaire Summit: Last Call聽has been through the roof. When I explained the massive catalyst that is just a few days away 鈥� and the life-changing gains that occurred the last two times this event happened 鈥� you and your fellow investors wanted to know more. Not surprisingly, I鈥檝e received a lot of questions, which I completely understand. Bitcoin has been around for 11 years now, but it鈥檚 still considered new and not well understood by a lot of people. And altcoins, which are a bigger opportunity, are even less known and understood. I now realize just how many of you want in on the opportunity.

The month of April is in the record books as one of the best months for stocks 鈥� ever. The S&P 500 rallied 12.7%, marking its third largest one-month gain of all time and its best performance since 1987. But of course, now that we have flipped the calendar to May, investors鈥� focus turns back to the old Wall Street adage: 鈥淪ell in May and go away.鈥� It shouldn鈥檛. In this week鈥檚 MoneyLine podcast, I talk about where I think the markets are heading and why history isn鈥檛 always the best indicator. I also share the results of last week鈥檚 investor question and give you my thoughts on which investment is the best to buy today.

I鈥檝e been聽on record聽since December saying that cryptocurrencies will be the best performing asset of 2020. And it has been so far. While the S&P 500, Russell 2000, commodities, REITs, and international stocks are all still negative for 2020 to date, bitcoin is up 22%. After its late-April breakout, it鈥檚 even performed twice as well as gold (yet again). But if that prediction still sounds wild to you, consider that cryptos already were the best performers of 2019 鈥� even after their pullback in the second half. Bitcoin still closed up 113%鈥� far more than the 29% gain we celebrated for the S&P 500 stocks.

I want to thank the thousands of folks who joined me last night for the 2020 Crypto Millionaire Summit: Last Call. One of the most explosive catalysts in one of the most explosive industries is happening in just two weeks, and I want everyone to be in position to claim the potentially massive gains. We鈥檙e down to the 鈥渓ast call鈥� before things start to skyrocket, and the truth is, they鈥檝e already started. Time is running out, so click here to watch the replay of last night鈥檚 event鈥� the deadline is fast approaching. If you still don鈥檛 know about the halvening, and why it can lead to gains of 1,000% or more, let me explain鈥�

I鈥檝e been hosting a lot of webinars in recent months. There are just so many fascinating opportunities out there that might otherwise get lost in the shuffle! I鈥檒l be doing another of these free investor events tonight at 7 p.m. ET. All you have to do is click here and you鈥檒l be on the list for this 2020 Crypto Millionaire Summit: Last Call. I say 鈥淟ast Call鈥� because the catalyst we鈥檒l be exploiting could be just days from now. And you know what? I haven鈥檛 heard anything about it on TV! It鈥檚 no surprise, sadly. Everyone鈥檚 too busy debating whether COVID-19 will bring about the end of the world. (It won't.)

The COVID-19 pandemic and its economic repercussions have brought the matter into clear focus. The world鈥檚 economy has, essentially, been shut down. The Federal Reserve has injected well over $2 trillion of stimulus to get things moving again. Add in the government stimulus and the total is greater than $6 trillion. My opinion has been that the total will exceed $10 trillion when all is said and done. When the dust settles, one emerging risk is that the mass cash infusion could lead to inflation鈥� and the U.S. dollar to fall further in value. All around the world, people are sick and tired of their leaders debasing their currency. Case in point: Today, the dollar is worth roughly HALF what it was worth in 1990.

Laszlo Hanyecz didn鈥檛 expect to make history when he ordered two large pizzas from Papa John鈥檚 in May 2010. But he did. Hanyecz paid for his pizzas using bitcoin in what鈥檚 believed to the first transaction using the cryptocurrency to pay for a product. And 鈥� this is almost too painful to write 鈥� he paid what would now be more than $75 million for the two pizzas. He ordered two because he liked to munch on leftovers the next day. Meanwhile, he had no idea that second pizza would one day cost him nearly $38 million. The reason why is actually pretty simple though. Each bitcoin was worth about $0.003 at that point in time, so the 10,000 bitcoins he used to pay for the pizzas were worth about $30.

If you pay any attention to the world of cryptocurrency, you鈥檝e probably noticed that the market has produced some amazing winners over the past couple years. For instance, twice in bitcoin鈥檚 history, a preprogrammed event has taken place that caused its price to soar into the stratosphere. I explained what this event, known as 鈥渢he halvening,鈥� is all about in Thursday鈥檚 MoneyWire. Basically, after bitcoin undergoes a halvening, the market receives half of the daily supply of new bitcoins. If supply drops and demand holds up or rises 鈥� and it will 鈥� prices increase. It鈥檚 simple economics. In the months that followed the first halvening in November 2012, the bitcoin price rose 2,135%.

I regularly discuss different hypergrowth investing themes, and for good reason. My goal is to offer recommendations to my subscribers that have the chance to grow as much as 100-fold because of the massive, wealth-generating power of newfound industries or technologies that go on to change the world. Cryptocurrencies are in this category. If you鈥檝e been tuning out this new asset class worth over $190 billion as of this writing, please don鈥檛 continue down this path. Not this year. Not when so many catalysts are setting up behind bitcoin and its altcoin cousins. It could leave you wondering what life-altering gains actually look like. To give you a sense of what I鈥檓 talking about, let鈥檚 step in the MoneyWire time machine

Back in November 2012, a change took place to the way bitcoin rewards miners for creating new coins and securing the network. We talked about this hugely significant event in yesterday鈥檚 MoneyWire. It鈥檚 called 鈥渢he halvening鈥� among industry insiders, and it happens about every four years. It is written into bitcoin鈥檚 鈥淒NA鈥� if you will 鈥� or its code base. Essentially, the new supply of bitcoin dropped and the demand for it kept chugging along. In the months that followed, bitcoin鈥檚 price soared an amazing 2,135%, bringing a spectacular windfall to early investors who saw the importance of the halvening well ahead of time. As I explained yesterday, we鈥檙e about to experience another bitcoin halvening in mere weeks鈥�

The headlines have been filled with ways to make money in what many are calling the 鈥渘ew normal,鈥� due to the pandemic. As more people work from home, there has been a rush into telework stocks such as Zoom Video (ZM). There鈥檚 also more time to watch movies and television, so Netflix (NFLX) rallied to a new all-time high. But the sector that has easily been garnering the most attention has been telehealth. The ability to see your doctor via your phone or computer has never been so important. Most doctor visits are due to non-life-threatening situations and therefore can be handled remotely. I, for example, had a follow-up with my doctor yesterday morning via the camera on my phone to go over some lab work.

On March 18, exactly one month ago, I wrote to you about how the market plunge felt like 鈥渁 punch to the gut鈥� and 鈥渁 kick to the head.鈥� We were in the midst of the panic selling craziness, and I wanted to remind you how the market always recovers鈥� and that there were some incredible bargains to be had. A month later, we鈥檙e still stuck at home and much of the economy is shut down, but the S&P 500 has rallied 20.5%... and 28.5% off the lows that came a few days later on March 23. Many stocks have done even better. In that time, I鈥檝e added five recommendations to the Crisis and Opportunity Portfolio.
