Dear Reader,
There's been no better investment on the planet this past decade than Bitcoin.
Not gold …
Not bonds …
Nothing.
Over the last ten years …
Bitcoin's returns have more than doubled that of gold, real estate and stocks …
A simple $1 investment in Bitcoin when it first traded seventeen years ago …
Would be worth more than $100 million dollars.
That's enough to make your head spin.
It might give you a serious case of FOMO.
But …
Before you rush to move your retirement plan into Bitcoin …
Hoping for these types of gains …
I've got news for you.
It's not going to happen.
Because as we speak …
A seismic shift is reshaping the crypto landscape.
Money is flowing out of Bitcoin …
And into a handful of exceptional cryptos.
Coins that have the potential for their gains to blow past Bitcoin.
And it's all happening at a rapid pace.
Presenting investors with an amazing opportunity.

P.S. Juan Villaverde has called every bull and bear market in crypto since 2012.
Including the top and bottom of Bitcoin in 2018 …
To within days.
As a matter of fact …
He's sitting on four different gains of more than 1,100% on Bitcoin.
But now …
He's saying it's time to invest in another crypto.

AST SpaceMobile Gears Up for Its BlueBird 6 Launch Next Week
By Jordan Chussler. Article Posted: 12/11/2025.
Summary
- AST SpaceMobile is slated to launch its next BlueBird 6 satellite next week.
- BlueBird 6 is 3.5 times as large as its predecessors and is expected to support 10 times their data capacity.
- Despite gaining more than 265% this year, ASTS is still favorable among Wall Street’s institutional investors and has a $1 billion revenue pipeline awaiting its services.
On Monday, Dec. 15, AST SpaceMobile (NASDAQ: ASTS) is scheduled to launch its next-generation satellite, BlueBird 6. The launch is expected to strengthen the company's space-based cellular broadband network and serve as a test of the Midland, Texas–based firm's ability to scale operations.
The milestone is a key step toward the newcomer's ambition to provide direct-to-smartphone, 24/7, high-speed cellular service. It's little surprise investors and analysts are watching closely for clues about AST SpaceMobile's technological progress and the stock's trajectory heading into 2026.
BlueBird 6's Launch Serves as a Credibility Test for AST SpaceMobile
Starlink's $100 Billion IPO: Your Chance to Invest Early (Ad)
Elon Musk's Starlink project is generating major speculation ahead of a potential IPO that some analysts believe could reach a historic $100 billion valuation. According to James Altucher, there may be a smart "backdoor" way for everyday investors to position ahead of that event without needing traditional IPO access — and he says it can be done for under $100. He's also sharing a free ticker tied to this trend for anyone who wants to take a closer look.

For context, AST SpaceMobile's BlueWalker 3 (a prototype test satellite launched on Sept. 10, 2022) and BlueBirds 1 through 5 (launched on Sept. 12, 2024) were equipped with arrays measuring 693 square feet.
BlueBird 6 is roughly 3.5 times larger than its predecessors and is expected to support about 10 times their data capacity when it launches from India's Satish Dhawan Space Center. While the operation may seem routine to some observers, it represents an important escalation for the company.
AST SpaceMobile is accelerating production and operations. By the end of 2026, the space-telecommunications firm plans to have between 45 and 60 BlueBird satellites in LEO servicing the United States, Europe, and Japan.
About 40 of those satellites are expected to be online in early 2026, underscoring how rapidly the company is scaling. Looking further ahead, AST SpaceMobile envisions a larger fleet of up to 90 satellites — fewer in number but larger than many competitors' LEO constellations, such as Starlink.
That makes Monday's launch even more important for accelerating the company's deployment schedule.
To meet those targets, AST SpaceMobile currently employs more than 1,800 people, holds about 1,800 patents or patent-pending claims, and operates roughly half a million square feet of manufacturing and operations facilities worldwide. In a recent press release, the company said it is "95% vertically integrated, with all major manufacturing processes kept under U.S. control."
By the end of 2025, the company says it will have the capacity to manufacture six launch-ready BlueBirds per month.
ASTS's $1 Billion Revenue Pipeline in Waiting
Perhaps more notable than its ambitious hardware plans is the revenue pipeline AST SpaceMobile is assembling as its services come online. The company has said it will initially provide intermittent nationwide coverage in early 2026, with plans to offer continuous service later that year as it launches more next-generation BlueBird satellites.
AST SpaceMobile reports more than $1 billion in aggregate contracted revenue from commercial partners and the U.S. federal government, according to its Q3 business update.
Government agreements include a $43 million contract with the U.S. Space Development Agency for network services, as well as arrangements with the National Science Foundation and the Department of Defense for national security space demonstration projects through the DoD's Hypersonic and Advanced Space-based Testbed (HALO) program.
Commercial agreements are in place with Verizon Communications (NYSE: VZ), AT&T (NYSE: T), and Vodafone Group (NASDAQ: VOD). That complements commercial pacts with Japan's Rakuten (OTCMKTS: RKUNY), real estate investment trust American Tower (NYSE: AMT), and Canadian telecom BCE (NYSE: BCE), formerly Bell Canada Enterprises.
Where Wall Street Stands on ASTS
Despite a year-to-date gain of more than 265%, AST SpaceMobile remains popular with institutional investors. Much of the enthusiasm stems from the company's strategic partnerships and the sizable contracted revenue pipeline.
That potential $1 billion-plus revenue stream has Wall Street largely bullish on ASTS. While current short interest sits at 14.44% — a figure that may concern some investors — it is down 5.20% from the previous reporting period.
The dollar value of shorted shares is also significantly lower than the $3.55 billion recorded on Oct. 15, a post-IPO high for the company.
Institutional ownership remains strong at nearly 61%. Over the past 12 months, 296 institutional buyers outnumbered 105 sellers, with inflows of about $1.9 billion far exceeding outflows of roughly $312 million.
Vanguard is the largest institutional holder, owning more than 19.9 million shares valued at nearly $977.7 million. The asset manager increased its position by 13.4% last quarter, a trend mirrored by several other top institutional holders: Northern Trust, Gotham Asset Management, and VackEck Associated increased their positions by 18.1%, 37.8%, and 125.1%, respectively.
