Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, published a blog post about the current crypto market situation, Bitcoin’s price and the FTX fiasco. He also discusses lending firms and his top four crypto picks in this volatile bear market.

He chooses four of his favorite cryptos, which he then categorizes into two sections: Reserve Assets & Super-Powered Assets. He selects Bitcoin as the top cryptocurrency by market cap, with Ethereum following. LOOKS, GMX and GMX are the other cryptocurrencies that make it to this Super Powered Assets.
Key is Yield Generation
Arthur stresses that, while Bitcoin and Ethereum can help him in capital appreciation if the bull market takes control, it is his tokens like these that would generate him yield — something neither of the two coins currently does.

Arthur justifies his reasoning by saying,
I should only invest in projects that have a P/F ratio less than 5x. This yield is 20% per year. Everybody will have a different hurdle rate but mine. I could buy Bitcoin or Ether, but neither one of these cryptos gives me enough yield.
Arthur also highlighted the fact that Bitcoin’s price “might” have bottomed at $15,900. It’s times such as these that make investing seem risky but rewarding.
