admittedly caught offsides earlier, but conviction in underlying view remains unchanged -
uncertainty materially lower since Friday close & threat of weaponized wkend illiquidity receding as well since futures open

believe crypto mkts just priced downside of US strike on Iran as Trump heads into situation room - very possibly leaky info on imminent nature of US action, but either way - higher from here.
Segregate performance by BTC up vs down in each window to filters out accounts making leveraged directional bets. You’re looking for wallets with alpha, not leveraged beta. These wallets rarely rank in top x% every month bc ‘dampening downside volatility = trading ability, sacrificing upside capture is the cost of doing business.
Better signal is: wallets w highest % winning periods vs. losing periods, and among them, highest ratio of avg win % to avg loss %.
Also, use 2wk or 4wk periods (not monthly) to avoid day-of-week distortions.
@0xLouisT@wassielawyer@MetaDAOProject Frames ‘% total supply’ industry standard as the incentive alignment mechanism enabling private investors to fund Twitter anons
@0xLouisT@wassielawyer Closest cryptonative analog is @MetaDAOProject, where all private allos are inherently team supply (either prior or incremental issuance)
🚨 HL whale started to buy back his $HYPE 🚨
Total buy back = $11.3M $HYPE (605k units)
In 3/3 similar historical instances the whale bought all his HYPE back same day.

@Henrik_on_HL I am inherently adverse to zero-fee without nuanced understanding of how the littany of “zero-fee fees” (spreads/depth/funding/etc…) comp to fees on comp fee venues
@JackFarley96@michaeljburry Imagine $NVDA bc outsized index weightings. My personal issue w comps v. prior capex cycles is that AI capex is more similar to WW2 financing than prior business cycles
You thought the team would sell their unlocks? WRONG
You thought the team would collateralize their holdings on the EVM protocols and borrow against it ? WRONG
You think the team will borrow against their holdings on a natively Hypercore designed money market ? You might be correct

Have put the trade on many times myself, it crushes in a steady state market, but absolutely not a trade you want to keep on during periods of elevated volatility. Learned this lesson after vaporizing a kucoin account back in 2020
Note from Spencer Hallarn, our Global Head of OTC:
"As equity markets get smashed today, a rather peculiar rally in crypto especially centered in old school tokens: FIL, LTC, NEAR, DOT, ETC. One theory is this could be tied to Oct. 10 and maybe some exchange is repurchasing spot to make folks whole that had liquidations. These moves are unquestionably spot led, which isn't typical with pervasive negative funding across the board."
Have a great weekend.
