Bear market likely ends late 2026, with 2027 the breakout year

β€œThe way I describe it right now is we're about six months into a pretty deep bear market. Traditionally, bear markets have lasted around twelve months before activity started recovering.

Regulatory uncertainty remains Visa's biggest hurdle for crypto

β€œEverything we do, we wanna make sure we're doing it in partnership with our clients in our network. To me, they care less about the network. They care less about the clients.

Regulation clarity creates moats but won't move price immediately

β€œI think the the clarity and genius stuff is, like, you should fade it. I mean, the regulation is always a fade in terms of what's driving price movement 100% of the time.

But he said, that he imagined himself being 80, and would he care that he left D. E. Shaw maybe for win a bonus? Or would he care more that he didn't take this chance, this kinda instinctive chance that he felt like he had to take? And he immediately, after thinking about it in that way, wanted to go do it.”

Nvidia's CoreWeave backstop hides true AI demand signals

β€œOne of the more peculiar of all the deals is, and this was disclosed in a core we've filing, was NVIDIA has promised to buy any of CoreWeave's service availability that they can't sell to anyone else. That is very unusual. That's not the same as making an investment. That could easily help CoreWeave with their debtors and and getting more debt financing. But it also means as a investor, we we don't know what's going on with real demand for CoreWeave because we probably won't be told if they start moving into the world where they're offloading to NVIDIA or not.”

Have you guys spent a lot of time on, like, the Reddit forums of, like, financial freedom? I actually disagree with you. I don't think we are clouded by crypto that retail wants thousand x's.”

Bitcoin may behave like a mature commodity, not a 20x asset

β€œBitcoin has made it in the sense that it's still really the only institutional asset class, like, fully institutional asset class. So it's gonna start behaving like institutional assets behave. The original value prop of Bitcoin was you should buy this because this thing might 20 x in your face. And no one believes that anymore, and that's good if you are a kind of like a goal you you don't really wanna buy some there's a whole the big pockets of money in the world don't wanna buy things at 20 x because if it 20 x's, it can go down 90%.”

Real-world assets carry massive blowup risk when cycle returns

β€œI'm actually quite I'm surprisingly bullish on real world assets. I think that that would definitely be a thing this cycle. I spend less time there. I'm actually a bit concerned about the risks of real world assets. I wrote a master thesis on DeFi risks back in, like, 2019, and I think real world assets for me right now are, like, highly, highly risky and, like, massive chance of blowing up when the cycle comes back.”

Circular AI revenue deals echo Enron-era red flags

β€œI think anybody that's been a student of financial history has, you know, studied different types of activities that that historically, let's just say historically, have created red flags. And the reason that, you know, any AI you talk to would know what you mean if you said circular revenues is because someone has used it in the past in a way that that wasn't good. And I just described those things to Chai GBT and ask it for its analysis both as an accountant and as a financial investor. And the AI itself, you know, would would find its way toward company names like Enron and WorldCom and those kind of things merely by describing the type of transaction.”

β€œCoinbase and Circle have done this deal where Coinbase will allow you to earn 4% on your stablecoin balance, which, you know, to to get that kind of return at another bank, even a neobank, you have to have your direct deposit go there. Here, whether it's $10 or or a million bucks, you know, you put it in stablecoin with Coinbase, and you start earning 4% daily. And on top of that, you can transact immediately out of that account.

Cardano remains hack free despite industry wide DeFi exploits

β€œCardano, hack free. There's zero hacks when you look at Cardano's DeFi. And Cardano's always marketed itself as having robust security.

But over the long term, it should be seen as a benefit for the larger crypto ecosystem.”

OpenAI is daring rivals to chase its scale

β€œIt appears to me that OpenAI, through all these partnerships and announcements, is trying to create escape velocity. You know? And that could be against the model providers. It could be against a hosting provider depending on how you think the market plays out. But it'll it it creates an interesting stress test for anyone else in the ecosystem to say, are you gonna lay chase?
