I've been trading professionally since 1994. 30 years. Dotcom. 2008. 2020. 4 crypto cycles. 7 brutal lessons that turned my biggest losses into my biggest wins. Bookmark this. You'll need it. ↓ 🧵1/9

#BTC, I shared this scenario before trump was elected and most of the CT was expecting BTC to be 150-200k ,and now we are here. Crowd is always wrong.

It’s March 2026 and ETH has just straight line bounced to $3400. Retail, the dev, and you - sold. Everyone has less coins than they did yesterday, EXCEPT the banksters, Tom Lee, and Jane Street insiders. Jane Street successfully gets away with the biggest orchestrated crypto price suppression and wealth transfer in history and the market goes straight to all time high in April. Not a single person on crypto twitter has any coins. Welcome to the future.

Vitalik is fully leaning into the cypherpunk ethos of Ethereum. This is the right move imo. Frankly, I've wanted to see Ethereum marketing and building focus on this theme for a very long time and been highly frustrated that it's not. Some express concerns that this approach will not be 'commercial' enough or be the best (or even a good) path to accruing value to ETH--I disagree, but of course this is a 'bet' and reasonable minds can differ on the subject. Ethereum's engineering roadmap and selected set of tradeoffs really only make sense with the cypherpunk ethos being front-and-center. Read @0xstark 's essay, "Ethereum's Distinctive Property is Hardness". With zk proofs, anyone will be able to verify Ethereum with a phone. With FOCIL, Ethereum will be the first blockchain to enshrine an anti-censorship rule in its protocol rather than merely incenting censorship-resistance. You can't be all things to all people. Just because Solana is doing well at some points and has selected radically different tradeoffs, does not mean "well let's jack up the gas limit to the point where all block producers need sophisticated data center setups so we can compete with Solana". You have to gear all your marketing and culture-building around the actual engineering path and tradeoffs that actually have been/are being selected, and play to the strengths of that and be willing to be honest about the tradeoffs and why they are being selected. In short, ETH goes hard and what is being built is very radical and in some ways paradoxical--a bet that the chain that gives the least fucks about institutions and any particular parochial government will nonetheless be the most attractive for institutions and governments to build on.

Crypto market is tiny. The technology potential is huge, all unrealized. Just the beginning.

I love what I saw tonight from my MSU Spartans men’s basketball team. We beat Kentucky 83-66, another win over a top 25 team following a victory over Arkansas on Nov. 8th. We were 50% from the three point line, hitting 11 total, and the biggest reason we won. Jeremy Fears had 13 assists, Jaxon Kohler scored 20 points, and Kur Teng added 15 points off the bench. @MSU_Basketball

$BTC BTC has swept the lows but still holding our level (threaded) We've been talking about this 105-95 level for a long time As long as we don't see a HTF close below 93 the count is still intact That said, a close below starts getting dicey I do have an alt bullish count that I haven't posted before as I didn't think it was the highest probability If you guys are interested in it let me know in the comments. If there is enough interest I will post it and the bearish thesis for you guys so you're prepared

My view remains bullish as the selling pressure over the last 48 hours was primarily a positioning unwind as opposed to a macro inflection point knowing WHY buying or selling is taking place is critical we dont have the macro forces to indicate an end in the credit cycle

The dollar debasement narrative is now consensus. Everyone is afraid that cash is trash and they will miss the rally in equities, Bitcoin, or gold. The problem is that it misunderstands how money actually works That kind of thinking usually marks market tops 🧵👇

The melt up phase continues @Globalflows is who you should be following instead of looking at hedge funds HF shorts are about to get melted up and they will ask themselves what should they chase Retail is having a magnificent year

$BTC BTC with a solid 12% move off our picture perfect entry (threaded) As of now it's still a 3 waved move off the low and at a significant resistance level So we need to see an increase in volume and strength here HTF close above 120 and we full Sendy Claus

Alts looking good here to go higher . Let’s see how it goes next few weeks .

@Globalflows gm!

How Are Tariffs Impacting Positioning and The Macro Regime 🧵 Is this a one-time volatility spike or the beginning of something larger? Mapping the macro regime and its connection to tariffs sets the stage for everything moving into the end of the week 👇
