This fixation on 50K, 40K reminds me exactly of 2022, when everyone was waiting for 10K–12K.
You had the opportunity to buy at 16K, yet people still wanted another 15–20% lower. In the end, did it really matter?
Whether you bought at 16K, 20K or even 25K, you still made money. The people who were willing to be “early” were ultimately rewarded.
So when people say I’m early now, enjoy it. You might get to laugh for the next 3–4 months.
But when I look back in 2–3 years and I’m up millions, we’ll see who’s still laughing about those “early entries.”
Because my conviction hasn’t changed, I believe bitcoin:native is going to 160K+ this cycle, whether people like that view or not.
I have been wheeling $TLT and selling calls on $WM since the start of July and have made some solid returns and has held stable this week even with the rest of the market pulling back slightly
Past month: +1.98%
YTD: +17.39%
Let’s see what JPow says at Jackson Hole tomorrow!

Alright I will be back to posting my personal trades, was focused on getting my business set up and had to make sure it was still allowed for me to post my trades.
$100 -> $1k challenge
My first trade in a long time for the challenge (hours got changed at work so made it tough) I swung a VIX call and closed it today
Bought for $278
Sold for $335
Profit: $57
$100 -> $471
$100 -> $1k challenge
Took an aggressive $SPX call credit spread on Friday:
6330/6335 exp 07/11
Received $130 (risked $370, which was entire challenge account)
Closed for $40 profit today and we’re back over $400
$100 -> $414
$TLT $WM
I have made the majority of the 1.8% in the month of July selling options on $TLT and $WM.
Current open option positions on $TLT and $WM:
4x $TLT 87c: $88
1x $WM 230c: $492
Haven’t been super active lately, got some stuff cooking personal-wise with starting a business.
Ended the month of July pretty solid: +15.8% YTD
Was at about 14% after June and the goal for the rest of 2025 was just to get 1% per month!

@cchui624 Nice! I have not, been rotating out of big tech into $TLT, $CLOA and $WM.
August - October tends to be weaker so switching to more defensive plays and shooting for just 1% per month with these
Margin update:
I have been staying away from margin for the last couple weeks. I don’t want to get caught being overleveraged when the market is at extreme greed
I’ve been underperforming the market in the last month, but still decently outperforming Year to Date.
I’m not bearish on the market but I’m still gonna focus on wheeling $TLT, selling covered calls on $WM and $CLOA until another opportunity presents itself.
NFA
I’m up to 400 shares of $TLT with an average cost of $86.07 (includes the CSP premiums I received and got assigned on).
Currently down about 1% but have received $61 in covered calls so far.
Current CCs:
4x 86.5c 07/21: $12
