Ancient texts from 1,800+ years ago taught this portfolio strategy:
1/3 in cash
1/3 in real estate and real assets
1/3 in business (risk)
It’s wild how many people ignore this, go all-in on one thing, and eventually regret it when the market shifts. Some wisdom just doesn't age
Fun NFT fact:
BAYC flipping CryptoPunks wasn’t some new era, it was pure bubble hysteria.
For a brief stretch (~18% of the time), hype beat history. People treated it like proof everything had changed, but it never really stuck
I don’t think moments like that come back easily. More mania than pattern, imo.
Chuck Norris: “Real men live for Christ”
"It's important to make your peace with Christ while the opportunity exists. Life is so fragile. You never know when it's going to be over."
"It could be over in the blink of an eye, and then it's too late to accept God's gift of salvation..."
i still hold eth as my main position because i believe the crypto industry would die if ethereum died
if there can be no long term thesis (ie new chains replace older chains, indefinitely) then the idea of crypto as money has no merit. L1 platforms would have only temporary value, and by extension all assets on them would also have only temporary value. it would mean smart contracts are unable to find a strong fit
but this will not happen. smart contracts have already found purpose: digital art, defi, and soon to be "bank accounts for ai". ethereum will win for the same reason bitcoin won against all its once hopeful challengers: lindy effect
ps it should be obvious but i excluded bitcoin from "the crypto industry" as it has already found a strong fit as "digital gold". it is a [volatile] store of value which is easier to store and transfer (read: better) than its analog counterpart
There are a ton of trapped BTC and ETH ETF investors in which this is their first rodeo. We could see significant panic candles before we can rise again
