- Thread Guy responds to the viral claim that crypto OGs traded against plumbers and argues every era sees the prior era as easier.
- The market open covers green S&P/Nasdaq action, surging AI memory and semis, and red defense stocks.
- The Nvidia financing deal to neoclouds is credited for strength in names like Micron and SK Hynix.
- The Lakers are reported sold for $12 billion; Thread Guy calls the NBA potentially dying or blowoff-topping.

- Guest Mayne discusses losing Bitcoin on early shady exchanges and why 2021 or a second cycle was easiest.
Идеи
Broad alt season no longer exists.
The old idea of a broad alt season, where every altcoin goes up 20x, is a concept of the past and no longer exists. The 2017 ICO-style broad alt rally has been replaced by a more evolved game where new narratives are controlled differently.
SOXL above 56.57 signals semis rebound.
SOXL, the triple-leverage semiconductor ETF, is at a key technical level: if it can get above 56.57, the recent downside-volatility regime may be over and semis could run it back, especially with the market liking the Nvidia financing deal.
Nvidia financing deal boosts AI memory.
The Nvidia financing deal to neoclouds is being taken well by the market and is driving a surge in AI memory and semiconductors. DRAM/memory names like Micron and SK Hynix are rallying as part of that AI semiconductor supply-chain strength.
Cerebras chart looks great.
Cerebras is putting in a rounded-bottom and V-shaped technical base and the chart looks great, even though the speaker had previously taken it off.
Disney Lakers purchase is blowoff top.
Disney buying the Lakers at $12B looks like a top-tick acquisition in a league the speaker sees as dying or blowoff-topping. It is analogous to buying an expensive NFT at the peak, making Disney unattractive on this deal.
Nike losing to niche brands.
Nike is being unbundled by niche brands such as Alo, Lululemon, and Skims. The broad brand is losing to super-niche competitors, and fixing Nike would require owning and incubating niche athlete and creator brands rather than running one monolithic label.
