Summary

He also touches on silver strength and crypto equity movers while warning against FOMO mistakes.

Ideas

Pump.Fun is structural crypto social trading winner.
Pump.Fun is his biggest position and he has sold none because crypto's plumbing and psychology have structurally changed; Pump is a revenue monster and the biggest beneficiary of social trading and on-chain experimentation. He expects real mania when social trading apps reach about 100 million users, and that is when he would sell.
PUMP HIGH

US Bitcoin reserve bullish BTC, bearish MSTR.
He predicts the US government will announce a $100 billion Bitcoin purchase program and a nationalization of Strategy within 24 months. In that scenario, MSTR's premium collapses and it may be forced to sell Bitcoin, while long-term Bitcoin bulls get discounted coins.
MSTR MED

Silver high timeframe looks bullish.
Silver's high-timeframe chart looks pretty good and is an interesting setup, with silver up about 2.5% on the day.
SILVER LOW

Buy Bitcoin dips below 70k.
He plans to buy Bitcoin on pullbacks rather than chase the ripping tape, specifically trying to add spots below $70k and if BTC is accepted below $66-67k during a breakout retrace. He expects leverage-driven flushes and shakeouts to create entries before the market runs back.
BTC HIGH
