Buy Nvidia dip after DeepSeek selloff.
Andrew cites the DeepSeek-driven Nvidia selloff as an example of thoughtful retail dip-buying: eToro users treated the market reaction as wrong because Nvidia is a great long-term company and the perceived competitive threat was just a weekend news story, so they bought the discounted stock.

Retail investors buy stock dips.
Andrew observes that retail investors increasingly treat broad stock and ETF declines as sales, buying dips because they are committed long term and believe markets recover over long cycles; eToro platform data and surveys show this overall bullish, dip-buying behavior.

Money printing supports Bitcoin's long-term value.
Governments habitually print money and US federal debt is near $40 trillion, which Andrew doubts is sustainable. He expects the money printer to be turned on again and says this is why Bitcoin has huge long-term value as a decentralized alternative to government-controlled money.

Stocks and ETFs move to blockchain.
Andrew expects stocks and ETFs to move onto blockchain rails within five years or less, allowing direct peer-to-peer settlement without intermediaries and trading any day or time. He sees this as the eventual convergence of traditional finance and crypto, a long-term tailwind for blockchain.
