Hey y’all,
I have great news...
Just because it is quite wrong to sit on beautiful poetry the release date for my first body of work “Duct Tape EP” has been changed from May 23 to this very Saturday; May 16.
Let’s do this ....🔥🔥🔥
These Isr*eli and American accounts that have suddenly developed compassion for dead Nigerian Christians over the past 48 hours are simply activating yet another foreign influence campaign.
I researched this for @african_stream earlier this year.
- Market thoughts / winter edition ❄️ -
Here we go with probably one of my most important posts since a while.
Despite this being the coldest season, at least in terms of climate, it’s simultaneously one of the hottest in terms of the current state of the markets. ("Too long brooo I prefer to read quick predictions that satisfy me" bros are coming)
With Bitcoin well above its all-time highs and altcoins making a strong comeback, market interest has logically returned interest primarily driven by retail investors or, in other words, by those with little expertise who think they can get rich in just a few weeks with a small amount of money.
This is exactly where I want to start my analysis.
Over the past two months, I’ve noticed a sharp rise in interest from the retail audience:
- Increasingly relentless pro-crypto advertising
- Growth in the number of users in crypto Telegram channels
- Surge in downloads of applications like Coinbase and Binance
- U.S. political propaganda heavily focused on crypto and its "adoption"
- Rise in views of crypto-related channels (although not yet at 2021 levels)
- More frequent questions about how to invest (just yesterday, a friend of a friend asked him if he could turn €100 into €10K for him, apparently, "not that much," according to him).
It’s undeniable that retail investors are here, and anyone who tells you otherwise is either blatantly lying or perhaps trying to convince themselves that this isn’t the case.
But you don’t need to take my word for it: just look at how engagement has skyrocketed here on X and how increasingly high targets are being circulated, with the idea that they’ll “definitely” be reached because certain projects are “the future.”
XRP is one of the most obvious examples, with targets well over $10 now taken as a given.
Few, however, have noticed that the pumps for the so-called “dino-coins” all kicked off on November 5: XRP, HBAR, ADA, LINK…coincidences? 👁️
Whales have surely triggered a synchronized rally by purchasing large quantities of assets within the same timeframe.
These movements are created to push a domino effect, driving prices higher and capturing the attention of retail investors, it's not about "fundamentals".
If you haven’t noticed yet (though I’m sure you have), it’s literally “free money season”: you just need to place a spot buy or a long position, and it’s unlikely you’ll incur a loss if you wait a few days or weeks.
This essentially means two things:
- Your trading skills aren’t being truly tested, and it’s easy to think you’re a “pro trader.”
- The bullish pressure is so strong that there’s an overwhelming number of buy orders ready to “absorb” any dip.
But the loudest question is: how long will it last?
The market can be compared to a rubber band that keeps being stretched: it extends to its maximum limit, but the more it stretches, the higher the risk of a significant contraction later on.
Just look at the TOTAL 2: we're up +70% with November alone, +85% if include these first days of December.
Are you sure that your "it's just getting started" friend has seen this chart?
Many of you during the last days asked me: "So it's over? Time to sell?"
My macro targets are perfectly intact and you can find them here: https://t.co/udXCulJ5aR but it would be absurd if you're not considering starting to slowly scale out from your positions, at least from the ones that pulled a 4/5x in one month like dinos. 🦖
"But the dominance has barely started to breakdown brother, it doesn't make sense.."
As I was calling for an HTF reversal in June 2023: https://t.co/L518bLiMf0 I'm trying to do the same this time as you can see from the chart below but take note that the rise is always slower while the collapse much faster.
Historically speaking, when the BTC D. breaks down is the beginning of the end and not the start, so depending on this chart you should adjust your TPs: it usually takes 2/3 months maximum to reach the bottom and therefore the start of the bear market since the altseason is the perfect exit liquidity excuse for SM.
"But Bitcoin hasn't broken above 100K yet, institutions are here, you're so bearish.."
Yes I know that global consensus expects BTC to reach 150K+ minimum but if I learned something is that institutions don't want your good, nor politicians..
Again, they're up millions from their BTC ETF investments (they bought earlier, not when they announced the ETF) so ask yourself if they need this asset to go into the stratosphere.
They do not because they have already programmed their TP areas based, as we saw with dino-coins, on pre-set algorithms: they trigger buy and they trigger sell orders all in once.
So, to conclude, my recommendation is to start looking at things from a different perspective instead of blindly following the masses that are almost sure that the next year will be incredibly bullish.
Things are escalating fast and while I believe we still have some decent upside, I also believe it will be aggressive and won't last much especially if we continue to see further acceleration.
Set your TP levels, start trimming a little if you're up consistently.
Be hopeful for the best, but be prepare for the worst.
Nothing lasts forever.

This gave me goosebumps.
@BBSimons has been saying this about "the Ghanaian elite class" for, at least, a decade. Lately, it's been @DavidHundeyin.
(H/T @jeffwellz)
Yesterday i was in Amasaman. NPP had a rally and the NDC was there so I parked and did community engagement on Galamsey.
Here’s a thread of what I learnt from speaking to about 36 different people on this menace as well as the protests.

@tech_twi Politics is destroying this country. Every sector and administration in government is rooted with corruption, monopoly, scandals, protecting their own people, etc. This is the same reason StarLink is finding it difficult to fully operate in Ghana.
