Trade Ideas
Short Ethereum over Bitcoin.
Ethereum looks weak and uninteresting. If you were to short any crypto, Ethereum is a better short than Bitcoin because of its poor price action and lack of momentum.
Zcash long, quantum resistant, undervalued reprice.
Zcash is undervalued at a $9 billion market cap, has privacy and quantum resistance that Bitcoin lacks, and could benefit from profit rotation out of AI stocks into a few high-quality crypto assets. It has strong technical upgrades, developer support, and momentum. A small amount of capital could drive a violent repricing, making it a high-conviction long.
