Ideas
Bitcoin breakout targets $150k-$160k.
Bitcoin recovered all of its two-month de-risking in one week, and the market is respecting breakouts; this pattern resembles ETH's breakout above $3,700 that ran to roughly $5,000 and sets Bitcoin up for $150k-$160k.
Long restricted-supply BNB and Mantle.
In a speculative environment driven by flows, assets with restricted supply and few sellers benefit most. BNB is parabolic and Asia is awake, while Mantle is Bybit's equivalent and doing well; both can be held for an extended period.
Gold benefits from de-dollarization flows.
Post-Ukraine, gold has entered a new paradigm as a de-dollarization and diversification hedge, with China and other countries reducing USD exposure; this structural bid supports continued gold strength.
BTC/gold reversion implies $150k-$170k.
Denominate Bitcoin in gold to strip out dollar debasement noise. BTC/gold is at the lower end of its post-2023 trend channel near 32; mean reversion to the middle near 40 by year-end implies Bitcoin around $156k if gold is flat, and $160k-$170k+ if gold keeps rallying.
Trim gold/silver, rebalance into Bitcoin.
Gold and silver have run hard—silver up 40% and gold up 20% since August—so he is trimming/rebalancing out of them into Bitcoin, which remains his core high-conviction asset.
Avoid alts; Bitcoin opportunity cost too high.
He is not confident investing in alts now because Bitcoin's opportunity cost is extreme, most alts are doing nothing or lagging, and buying after a pop leaves you behind; only dabble with a small percentage.
Zcash rally is unsustainable; likely reverses.
Zcash's doubling was likely a one-off liquidity event from someone moving money privately rather than sustainable adoption; it is more likely to go back down after the buyer exits, and post-rally theses are cope.
Favor restricted-supply alts, avoid VC coins.
With Bitcoin breaking out and speculative flows returning, active traders should look at alts that haven't moved and have restricted supply, because they can move sharply with few sellers; avoid VC coins like ENA that have heavy supply overhang.
Uranium will continue to outperform.
Uranium has already run 22-23% since they discussed it and he thinks it will continue to do extremely well.
Long Galaxy as brokerage compression trade.
Galaxy One is a fully integrated brokerage bridging TradFi and crypto, led by Zach Prince on a BlockFi redemption arc; Galaxy has a strong risk team, a compression trade versus Coinbase/Robinhood's much larger market caps, data-center/AI optionality, and meme-stock potential, and it trades up more/down less than Bitcoin.
Robinhood has 10x potential in five years.
Robinhood is 5% of his book because there is a reasonable chance it 10x's in five years, though he is only 50-60% confident. It benefits from speculative trading flows and crypto revenue.
Plasma is a volatile 10-bagger candidate.
After XPL's selloff, it looks good again; Plasma could capture a significant chunk of the global financial ecosystem and become a 10-bagger over the medium to long term, but investors must stomach insane volatility.
Buy Bitcoin calls after breakout.
Bitcoin calls are most mispriced right after a big breakout because Bitcoin is reflexive and implied vol/gamma do not immediately reprice; if Bitcoin has a high chance of reaching $150k within a month, calls offer cheap leverage. Buy upside Bitcoin calls.
Buy Dec 150 BTC calls/call spread.
For smaller portfolios, buy December $150k Bitcoin calls to get 3-10x if Bitcoin hits $180k by year-end; a one-by-one call spread avoids the mark-to-market risk of being short the $200k call.
