Bet on AI-driven search and behavior shifts.

Next generation will use AI/LLMs like GPT for everything instead of traditional search engines. Identifying what AI will tell everyone to do ('hallucination yield') and getting ahead of those trends is a profitable strategy as search behavior shifts.

Monero is the most attractive altcoin.

Monero's weekly chart looks very good and is the most attractive altcoin at the moment, standing out amidst a sea of poor-performing alts.

Avoid altcoins due to Bitcoin dominance.

Bitcoin dominance (BTCD) is up, making it scary to long any altcoins. Not interested in alts right now due to this relative weakness.

Tesla chart looks bad.

Tesla chart does not look good, it's down and the price action is unattractive.

Billion-dollar meme coin era is over.

There is no such thing as a billion-dollar meme coin anymore. Coins like Asteroid offer nothing fundamentally new compared to past cycles, making it hard to justify the valuation and believe in sustained upside.

Bitcoin is a strong long-term hold.

Bitcoin looks strong and is a long-term hold, though some has been sold. It remains a core bag amidst a difficult market for long-term directional bias due to war.

Trade only short-term momentum with spot or 2x leverage.

The market no longer reacts to war escalation headlines, having fully priced in best and worst-case scenarios. This makes long-term directional bias difficult, and the only viable approach is to trade short-term momentum spikes using spot or low leverage (2x) to avoid being whipsawed by rapid price discovery.

Sold HIMS after news peak and narrative shift.

Sold HIMS position because the market instantly priced in the best-case scenario of the RFK peptide announcement, creating a narrative peak. When a competing narrative (Trump ceasefire news) emerged, the positioning became fragile, forcing an exit to avoid a potential aggressive reversal.
