Ideas
BTC never ranges at highs; expects rally.
Bitcoin never stabilizes at all-time highs; it either breaks much higher or sells off sharply. Jonah does not expect a breakdown and is positioned for a rally, explicitly favoring long BTCUSD.
Fiscal deficits debase dollar; short USD.
After the passage of the big beautiful bill, fiscal deficits and debasement make the dollar a one-way train to zero. The dollar is the best short leg to pair with a long Bitcoin trade.
Trim BTC; high-range breakdown likely.
Bitcoin is ranging at highs even as treasury companies buy aggressively, leverage has rebuilt, and momentum has faded. Historical ranges at highs often break down to wash out leverage before continuing, so Avi expects a pullback toward 95K-96K and advises not buying much and trimming existing BTC exposure.
Long BTC, short Cardano as alts underperform.
In a Bitcoin pullback, altcoins should underperform sharply. The clean expression is long BTC versus short weaker alts like Cardano because BTC sells off much less than altcoins in this environment.
Hedge equities into August tariff deadline.
Avi is nervous about equities into the August 1 Liberation Day tariff deadline. Markets have rallied while not believing large tariffs will hit, but as the deadline approaches, it becomes rational to hold a bearish view for a shorter period, and he has bought puts to protect his portfolio and capture a potential event-driven break.
Diversify into equities; want Rocket Lab.
Jonah has been diversifying out of crypto into specific equities he wants to own. He explicitly wants to own Rocket Lab (RKLB) as part of this move, though he gives limited company-specific detail.
Altcoins structurally challenged; BTC dominance rises.
Most crypto tokens have no reason to exist unless they create equity-like value or buy back tokens with revenue. As holders realize this, capital should rotate from useless altcoins like Celestia, Polkadot, and Cardano into Bitcoin, pushing BTC dominance higher.

Avoid BNB; Binance lost founder edge.
Binance losing CZ means losing founder vision and becoming more of a value extractor. The exchange game is very competitive, and founder-led Hyperliquid and Robinhood are likely to eat Binance's lunch, making BNB unattractive.
Hyperliquid can beat Robinhood on developers.
Jonah has a non-consensus bullish view on Hyperliquid. Although not maximally decentralized, it is more decentralized and lower-fee than Robinhood, open source, and easier for developers to build financial applications on, so it may do just fine or even beat Robinhood.
Robinhood best consumer one-stop finance app.
Avi is super bullish on Robinhood because consumers want one easy place to do everything and Robinhood is furthest along in aggregating TradFi and crypto. It is very easy to use, offers strong promos, and can onboard TradFi users into crypto with bells and whistles.
Sell Bitcoin calls against spot.
Bitcoin implied volatility around 35-37% is low versus history but still high versus realized daily vol. If BTC grinds higher slowly rather than ripping, selling calls against spot or selling optionality can collect theta and premium, and Jonah plans to look at IBIT calls.
