Ideas
Short PONS on untested holders and exhaustion.
I am short PONS and closed half but am letting the rest ride because onchain is exhausted, top holders have huge untested unrealized P&L, no one has conviction, and social trading reflexivity creates a prisoner's dilemma where someone will likely capitulate first.
Long Zcash as better early bull trade.
I am long Zcash and not selling because I am a bull, think crypto is early in a bull market, Zcash looks great, and it is a better trade than BTC, which I struggle to buy.
Long Micron as AI doomer memory play.
I opened a small Micron long because if the AI doomer case is right and everyone goes all in on AI, memory demand should rise; it is a way to have AI-kill-us-all exposure.
Long Meta on personal AI distribution.
I am bullish on Meta because its Muse personal AI agent addresses the best AI use case, and Meta can distribute it to the mass market through Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, reaching people OpenAI and Claude cannot.
