Bitcoin may sweep 83k liquidation lows.

Bitcoin's relief bounce above 90k lacks strength; almost every visible long has liquidation or stops clustered around 83k, so he expects a sweep of those lows before any durable move. He opened a small long to test strength, but it did not work.

Retail mania signals silver top.

An Amazon delivery driver trading silver on TradingView and making $5K is the kind of broad retail mania that defines a top signal. Silver looks vulnerable after the run.

Crypto metaverse lost; no clear edge.

Crypto's metaverse efforts lost because assets do not need to be NFTs and developers and players go where the users are. Roblox already has the users, content, and economy, so crypto metaverse projects lack a clear advantage even with lower fees and better ownership.

Roblox is thriving web2 metaverse long.

The metaverse is not dead; Roblox is the thriving web2 metaverse. It has 111M DAU, 13B hours per month, estimated $4.35B 2025 revenue, a $55B market cap, a massive developer economy with over $1B annual payouts, and AI/vibe coding should accelerate UGC game creation. He says he wants to long it and regrets not holding it.

Ralph coin interesting but not buying.

Ralph coin is one of the few interesting onchain bright spots because its Claude Code plug-in is actually used by many people and the founder is crypto-aligned and value accretive. He is not buying now due to poor market conditions.

SKR uninteresting long term, low volume.

Solana's Seeker phone token SKR launched at a low FDV and doubled, but it is a second Solana Foundation token with low volume and he does not see it as exciting or holdable long term.

Holds Zcash as ideology token.

He has been interested in ideology/privacy tokens and explicitly holds Zcash. He was frustrated Zcash did not rally with Monero, but he remains a holder.

Pump.fun breakout; believer again.

Pump.fun continues to generate consistent daily activity and revenue, the chart looks good and is up 14%, and after calling the breakout he says he is a believer again.

Alcohol stocks cooked; short Bud, Molson.

Alcohol is in generational decline as younger people drink less, and alcohol stocks look terrible. He specifically names Budweiser and Molson Coors while asking whether they can be shorted.
