Here's the 1 Crypto I'd Buy If I Could Pick Only One

Bitcoin has a unique combination of upside potential and downside protection.

In the final quarter of 2026, crypto investors face a difficult decision on which single cryptocurrency to invest in. Two options are currently on the table: Hyperliquid (HYPE), which has seen a remarkable 236% increase this year and now enjoys the backing of the Trump administration, or Bitcoin (BTC), a proven winner that has experienced a slight 9% decline in 2026.

The third option, Bitcoin, stands out for its unique combination of upside potential and downside protection. Over the past decade, Bitcoin has delivered exponential gains, with returns of 92% or higher in six out of the past ten years. Its price growth has been unparalleled, and it is often referred to as "digital gold." Bitcoin can also serve as a diversifier and safe-haven asset, often performing differently than other major asset classes.

With Bitcoin trading near $80,000, some experts predict it could reach $100,000 by year-end, with even higher targets set for mid-2027 and 2029. Despite not being included in the latest top 10 list by Motley Fool Stock Advisor, Bitcoin remains a strong candidate for investment due to its potential for long-term growth.
