Prominent crypto influencer Ansem is more optimistic about digital assets than at any point in his career as he argues that improving infrastructure, mobile adoption and on-chain innovation are laying the foundation for the next cycle.

“Never Been This Bullish On Crypto“

Speaking with crypto commentator Thread Guy in an interview on July 28, Ansem said speculation remains crypto’s biggest strength, while predicting traders will increasingly become the next generation of financial influencers.

Ansem said the current market resembles previous cycle bottoms, where sentiment remained overwhelmingly bearish despite steady improvements beneath the surface.

“I’ve never been this bullish on crypto in my entire life,” he said.

Unlike previous cycles, Ansem argued that crypto is benefiting from major advances in mobile applications, stablecoin infrastructure and regulatory clarity while AI is making it easier than ever for developers to build products.

He said crypto offers startups a faster path to liquidity than traditional venture capital, making blockchain networks an increasingly attractive place to launch new businesses.

Ansem pointed to projects such as Robinhood Chain as an example of crypto evolving beyond infrastructure into consumer-facing products.

Meme Coins Still Matter

While institutional investors increasingly focus on tokenization and real-world assets, Ansem said speculation remains crypto’s competitive advantage.

He compared blockchain ecosystems to cities that need both financial institutions and entertainment businesses.

"You can’t shut down all the bars, clubs and casinos because you don’t like them,” he said, arguing that meme coins help attract users and liquidity that ultimately benefit broader blockchain ecosystems.

Rather than viewing speculation as harmful, Ansem said it has historically driven adoption throughout crypto.

Bitcoin, Solana And The Bigger Picture

Despite lingering macro uncertainty, Ansem said Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) continues to resemble digital gold and expects institutional demand to remain supportive.

He also reiterated his long-term optimism toward Solana (CRYPTO: SOL), saying consumer adoption and improving on-chain applications continue to strengthen the ecosystem.

Looking beyond price action, both Ansem and Thread Guy argued crypto activity is picking up again after months of stagnation, citing renewed experimentation across decentralized finance, tokenized assets and mobile trading.
