Ideas
Hyperliquid fairly valued real business.
Hyperliquid is a real business valued fairly on a PE/revenue basis; it is the kind of altcoin with real products that can 10x over the long run.
Bitcoin can 10x long term.
Deep-pocketed institutional allocators are entering Bitcoin; once it reprices to fair value of $150k-$200k, profit-taking may appear but volatility likely compresses as Bitcoin becomes a stock-market-like asset, and Trump tailwinds plus less emotional holders mean don't fight the trend.
Syrup real revenue, TVL drives price.
Maple/Syrup is a real revenue-generating business; token price follows TVL growth, and Syrup is still crushing it at 43 cents.
Crypto AI mania, own basket.
AI mania is coming to crypto; although these aren't real businesses yet, having exposure to a basket of crypto AI coins like Virtuals, Zuri Bro, AI6Z, and Fartcoin is probably worthwhile and could produce a 10-bagger.
TAO needs non-staking subnet growth.
Bittensor is slowly moving from vaporware to delivery, but it has underperformed after prior outperformance and reached fairish value; most activity remains in the staking subnet, so watch whether other subnets grow to drive the next re-rating.
Buy BTC options on cheap vol.
Implied vol around 46-55% implies only a 2.4% daily move, which looks too low given the unstable price; he expects a fast move and possible 5-10% day, so buy straddles/calls if IV is below 55, using IBIT options instead of Deribit.
Buy cheap revenue-earning altcoins.
Use DefiLlama 7-day revenue rankings to find sub-$1B FDV altcoins that consistently earn real money; these are cheap real businesses and a fertile environment to buy low-delta call options, with most failing but winners hitting big.
Bitcoin is macro debt-spiral hedge.
No politician has the mandate to crash the economy; the spending bill enshrines zero DOGE cuts, so Congress won't implement austerity unless forced, leading to a debt spiral, debasement, higher rates/borrowing, and a demand-driven Bitcoin super cycle as Bitcoin differentiates from equities.
Own revenue-generating altcoins with buybacks.
Altcoins are still degen land, but projects with real revenues buying back their own tokens are a herd to run with, especially at low FDV; if not shaken out, this cycle could last 10 years and produce huge gains by balancing Bitcoin and cycling cheap altcoins.
ETH/BTC setup good but no delivery.
ETH/BTC weekly chart has bottomed and recovered a prior breakdown, so long ETH against BTC might offer good risk-reward with an easy stop and a 100% rally target; but he won't take it because ETH still shows zero signs of delivering.
Virtuals pivot drives Base activity.
Virtuals pivoted to a launchpad model and is now doing very well on Base, generating activity and bringing money to Base through its Genesis launchpad; the team executes and pivots well.
Worldcoin dilution means lower.
Worldcoin is going lower because fully diluted valuation is about $14B while market cap is about $2B and emissions are high; there isn't enough new money to buy the bags, so any squeeze should be sold.
Berachain uptake disappointing, avoid.
Berachain has been disappointing with little uptake; as an investor he hasn't seen product-market fit and needs to see if it pivots like Virtuals or risks running on fumes and dying.
Coinbase hack makes it avoid.
After the Coinbase hack and data leak, he wouldn't touch Coinbase; it gates funds, loses customer details, has a poor response, and has spread itself too thin/bloated, making the platform and stock unattractive.
Robinhood benefits from Coinbase issues.
Robinhood looks well positioned because Coinbase's security and trust problems make competitors look better; it is a beneficiary of Coinbase's hack and response.
Bullish Robinhood, Kraken, Hyperliquid.
If Coinbase can be hacked, it can happen to any centralized exchange; this is a decent argument for decentralized/self-custody platforms like Hyperliquid, and he is bullish Robinhood, Kraken, and Hyperliquid as competitive beneficiaries.
