Solana was never going to die.

He says he is not surprised Solana is not dead and insists Solana was never going to die. Although it was in a weird spot, it has come roaring back with the stock meme and the Solana crime family pushing it, and the Solana ecosystem is now hot. He also rejects the idea that Robinhood assets simply trade better, arguing launchpad proliferation diluted trading quality rather than killing Solana.

Stonk's reflexive launchpad incentives are interesting.

He finds Stonk interesting because holding it incentivizes users to launch new low-cap tokens; the resulting dividends and fees recycle money back into the ecosystem, creating a reflexive flywheel. He did not hold it and acknowledges missing the trade, so this is more of a monitorable setup than an active position.

Onchain is highest-ceiling crypto meta.

His biggest onchain belief is that if there is money in the ecosystem, developers will always find something new to trade. Tokenizing all assets and letting developers loop, lend, borrow, pair, and flip them creates the most creative and highest-ceiling meta; he says he loves onchain despite occasional fatigue.

Rise of active investing continues.

He calls the rise of active investing his strongest conviction: people want to take their finances into their own hands rather than just buy the S&P 500. He thinks social and mobile trading apps have a TikTok-like step-change potential and expects more retail participation across markets.

Big AI is a good trade.

He says the 'Big AI is going to kill the world' narrative is so ironclad and strong that it may be time to find an entry, calling it a pretty good trade. He later frames AI doom fears as a Y2K-style panic, keeping AI as a major market narrative.

Bought HOOD; active investing is rising.

He says he bought HOOD the other day and thinks it will age well, tying it to his broader thesis that active investing and social/mobile trading are rising. The buy is explicit even though the supporting argument is brief.
