Zcash is a reflexive privacy hedge
Zcash is a highly reflexive asset: price increases improve its narrative (privacy, quantum resistance, regulatory clarity). He holds a small position based on SEC investigation closure, A16Z backing, same supply schedule as Bitcoin, and potential as a Bitcoin hedge. If it breaks above $500, it could rally strongly.

Author discloses a current long position in STRC, citing MSTR's 28.5-month payment runway as sufficient coverage; frames the instrument as structurally extracting capital from MSTR holders via mandatory MSTR share sales to fund STRC payments.

Buy CYPH as ZEC ecosystem beneficiary
Buy CYPH as a net-positive ZEC ecosystem business: its model creates less ZEC selling pressure over time and it could tap its ATM to buy more ZEC.

STRK will grow, MNAV turning up.
Taiki is super bullish on STRK (the stretch preferred stock of Strategy) because Michael Saylor's recent large Bitcoin purchases at low prices (60Ks and 70Ks) mark a turning point in the MSTR MNAV, which has been collapsing. He argues this is the first time Saylor has bought billions at a low MNAV (~1.1-1.2), which could re-introduce reflexivity to the upside and lead to a hated rally. Taiki sees STRK growing much larger than expected.
