TroptionsUnity, When Crypto finally acts like money. A 2026 crypto forecast
The CryptoInvestar Podcast
In this episode of The Crypto Investar Podcast, host Daniel Leinhardt steps away from charts, hype cycles, and price predictions to ask a far more uncomfortable and important question: when will crypto finally start acting like money?
As we move closer to 2026, the crypto space is once again promising “real adoption.”
But Daniel challenges listeners to pause and reflect on what adoption actually means.
Is it faster trading? Higher leverage? New tokens every week? Or is it something much simpler and much harder to build like everyday usability?
Drawing from years of experience watching crypto cycles rise and fall, Daniel breaks down a reality many investors quietly feel but rarely say out loud: most cryptocurrencies still behave more like casino chips than currencies.
You buy them, hold them, speculate on price and when it’s time to live your life, you convert back to fiat.
That isn’t money. That’s speculation with extra steps.
This episode explores how major players fit into that reality.
Bitcoin has evolved into digital gold and collateral. Ethereum operates as financial infrastructure.
Solana delivers speed and scale. Zilliqa brings technical innovation.
All important but none are truly optimized for day-to-day economic exchange.
TroptionsUnity tokenising humanitarian Causes and e-commerce
That’s where the conversation shifts.
Daniel introduces TroptionsUnity (TUNIT), not as a hype-driven “next big thing,” but as a project asking a fundamentally different question.
How do we use crypto without converting it back to fiat? Rooted in an idea that predates Bitcoin itself Troptions were originally designed in 2003 to facilitate barter trade and e-commerce TroptionsUnity represents a return to trade, not trading.
Listeners are taken through real-world examples already emerging within the TroptionsUnity ecosystem.
Restaurants accepting TUNIT, factories producing goods, artists tokenizing physical work, healthcare services being paid for directly, and humanitarian use cases such as malaria-focused initiatives in Nigeria.
This isn’t whitepaper theory it’s economic behavior happening quietly, without noise.
The episode challenges listeners directly: how much TUNIT are you holding, and why?
Not for price speculation, but for participation.
Because in real economies, money gains value through acceptance, not hoarding.
Daniel closes by reframing the entire crypto conversation. Crypto didn’t fail it drifted.
Away from exchange and toward speculation.
TroptionsUnity, he argues, feels less like a revolution and more like a correction: a return to purpose.
This episode isn’t about telling you what to buy.
It’s about asking whether you’re willing to grow with an ecosystem instead of betting on a ticker and whether 2026 will finally be the year crypto starts acting like money again.
