Robinhood undervalued at crypto winter bottom.
Robinhood is at a trough due to low crypto volatility, but the company is a huge share gainer with cheaper fees than Coinbase. When crypto volatility returns, consensus expectations are too low, and even a return to 2024 trends would yield 10-15% upside to consensus. The stock is near the bear case trough and should recover.

OranjeBTC gives exposure to Brazil Bitcoin.
OranjeBTC (Orange BTC) offers US investors a unique way to gain exposure to Brazil's Bitcoin market, driven by hyperinflation history. The company is institutional-grade with a team from Bridgewater and BlackRock, high transparency, and one of the few ways for Brazilians to invest in Bitcoin via stock. The ADR is now accessible through US brokerages.

Bitcoin to $300k-$500k in 5 years.
Bitcoin has returned 45-50% annualized since 2018 and even at a haircut, it points to $300k-$500k per coin in 5 years, still a fraction of gold's market cap. With US debt crossing 100% of GDP and monetary debasement, Bitcoin is a necessary long-term store of value. Having zero Bitcoin is an active choice for USD investors.
