Ideas
60/40 broken; allocate 40% to resistance assets.
High-end art, Pokemon cards, luxury handbags, and fine wine can act as resistance assets because they are scarce, cannot be manufactured, often deteriorate over time so supply falls, are non-fungible, cannot be easily levered, and are censorship-resistant. He personally collects art such as Daniel Arsham and Murakami and argues scarcity and desirability make these assets useful for portfolio diversification.
60/40 broken; allocate 40% to resistance assets.
Traditional 60/40 is breaking because bonds and equities are now more correlated and all compliance assets are tied to government intervention, fiscal expansion, and the global carry system. He advocates a 60% compliance / 40% resistance portfolio, where resistance assets are scarce, hard-to-access, non-fungible, censorship-resistant, hard to lever, and can hedge financial repression and systemic risk.
Bitcoin ETFs enable financialized, custody-light exposure.
Bitcoin ETFs are valuable because they give price exposure without self-custody risk and fit traditional portfolio management: investors can margin, borrow, lend, cross-margin, and run basis trades more capital-efficiently. Global ETF access is still expanding, advisers are becoming more comfortable, and Bitwise sees large Bitcoin inflows by 2026; he says investors can own both the ETF wrapper and cold-custody Bitcoin.
RWA tokenization may unlock illiquid assets.
RWA tokenization is a fascinating trend, especially for assets that were never traded or securitized, such as trading cards, sneakers, and watches, where a digital certificate of authenticity can let ownership trade without moving the physical asset and avoid logistics and insurance costs. He also sees tokenization improving liquidity for illiquid private equity and private credit. Past attempts have failed, but it could be worthwhile at the right inflection point.
Altcoins lose to cleaner Bitcoin exposure.
The crypto market is currently a Bitcoin or bust world for him: altcoins are struggling to find conviction, and the historical relationship where altcoins were levered beta to Bitcoin has broken. Bitcoin ETF options and Bitcoin treasury companies provide cleaner levered crypto exposure, pulling retail volume away from altcoins.
Bitcoin options suit long-term retail.
Bitcoin options make sense because Bitcoin is highly leptokurtic and options give levered exposure with cleaner basis risk than altcoins. Options trading also trains a probabilistic mindset, and retail traders have a structural size advantage because small orders do not move markets or reveal open interest like institutional trades.
Bitcoin treasury companies offer levered exposure.
Bitcoin treasury companies such as MicroStrategy and Metaplanet are more volatile than Bitcoin and provide levered BTC exposure with cleaner basis risk than altcoins. They can tap credit markets because lenders view Bitcoin as valuable collateral, and they have been pulling retail activity away from altcoins.
ETH, Solana treasury strategies may work.
He is optimistic that copycat treasury strategies using Ethereum or Solana can find product-market fit. ETH and SOL are more volatile than Bitcoin, and proof-of-stake assets can be productive through staking/restaking yield inside an operating company structure, potentially giving them an edge over Bitcoin treasury companies. He stresses it is still an open question whether markets will underwrite those assets as collateral.
