Gold and silver keep ripping.

Gold and silver are in a massive bull run; gold is about to hit $5K before Ethereum while silver is at $103 and keeps going. He compares the move to 1979 and sees upward momentum.

Hyperliquid is the key onchain growth story.

Hyperliquid's HIP3 equity and commodity perps are the only exponentially growing new onchain sector. Volumes and open interest are already comparable to major crypto assets, revenue is strong, and the product is good tech he recommends using for equity perps.

Bitcoin will eventually move violently higher.

Bitcoin is compressed while other assets rip, and when it finally moves it will go much higher than people expect. He also cites AI models producing a $185K target as part of the hallucination-yield self-fulfilling prophecy.

Cold blast drives natural gas spike.

A massive arctic cold blast and winter storm are driving a spike in natural gas demand; natural gas surged over 50% in two days and was a clear weather-driven trade that would have outperformed Bitcoin. He sees it as an example of an always-on bull market somewhere.

Roblox metaverse trend is underpriced.

Gen Alpha is spending more time on Roblox and user-generated game economies than social media, trading virtual money and building virtual worlds. He sees this as the metaverse mega-trend, analogous to YouTube in 2010 and only 2-3% tapped, combining online life, AI, and permissionless money; he is following the theme closely even if the exact expression is unclear.

Intel short worked on bad earnings.

Intel is the only stock crypto Twitter rallies around, and it had bad earnings, dropping about 20% in its biggest single-day fall, making the short a clear momentum trade.

Silver miners are breaking out.

Silver miners have been basing for years and are just breaking out of decade-long downtrends. Historical analogs show miners can lead or lag metals, but in a fast violent move they offer leveraged exposure; he plans to follow and maybe trade them.

HL is best silver miner breakout.

HL has a 50-year base breakout, zero debt, and US/Canada jurisdiction, making it a better silver-miner trade than AG, which has Mexico jurisdiction and tax risk.

Privacy coins are underpriced narrative.

Privacy is the most underpriced narrative in markets. He is not sure whether Zcash or Monero is the best expression but wants to figure it out.

Nuclear focus boosts uranium and UUUU.

Trump's Davos speech emphasized going heavy into nuclear. Energy Fuels runs the only operating conventional uranium mill in the US, and the stock is ripping on that attention.

ETH and SOL face institutional bypass.

Larry Fink's "one common blockchain" likely points to a centralized BlackRock chain rather than Ethereum or Solana, and he says this is not great for those bags; he also notes ETH and SOL not great.
