100-baggers going cheap

Intended as a bit of fun
There's been more than a few 100-baggers (& then some) this century. I guess we all know the companies but we could talk about Pharma, Bitcoin, AI, other things.
I'm not opposed to a fun portfolio and actually even the soberest of citizens generally concede that up to say 5% in such a thing is an OK endeavour, even if just to scratch and itch. Or perhaps prove to yourself that you can't stock pick.
So anyway, as we speak the 100-baggers of the future are out there. We just don't know what they are. So what's yours? What asset/company/theme/etf/index do you think has the potential to go crazy.
FWIW mine is Robotics. I think sooner than people expect robots (drones/whatever) will be doing an awful lot of stuff. AI can take away the human thinking, but something else has to take away the actual doing.
Having looked at Robotic ETFs, I'm going for a 50/50 split between ROBG/RBTX. In my case it won't be 5% of total investments, probs more like a couple.
I could be wrong. Unions might stamp on the chance of Robotics making a meaningful difference. Or robots might indeed be huge but the actual winners are just Apple or some other Mag7 who buy the tech/startups who looks best.
But it's not the worst thing to spend a bit of money on. Even if I lose the lot it'll be healthier than drinking it.
So if you want to play, what's your play? I'm thinking 10-20 year timeframe.

As for 100 baggers, I’ve no idea. If I was much younger I’d probably be tempted to put a bit into robotics and crypto, but my at my age my risk appetite now only extends as far as 14% of my equity pf in Mag7 and having about 4% in my riskiest fund L&G Tech Index.0 -

Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness:
People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.
