My 2nd IRL event in @monad ecosystem! First was in Vietnam a few weeks ago, and then with the @Filipinads.
Thank you to all the Nads we met, the awesome merch/gifts, and the lit performances.
Had so much fun 💜
Very organized event as well 🫡
Used to race 'til noon under the Ironman heat 😤
But Vietnam humbled me - sick 90% of the trip and couldn’t keep up with all the Monad events 😅😆
Still, grateful for the warm and welcoming @monad community. Even for a short time, your energy was felt. Thank you for being awesome guys!
Good job on organizing @vietnads! 🫡

Let me be very honest with you. Most of you will lose everything when altseason comes. 👇
Here’s how it usually plays out.
You start with $10,000.
You hit your goal: a 10x.
Now your portfolio is $100,000.
This is where the danger starts.
You get greedy.
You feel invincible.
You think you cracked the code.
So you take all $100,000 and start aping into hype coins.
You stop thinking logically.
You start thinking emotionally.
You chase narratives.
You rotate from bag to bag.
You try to catch everything.
And then… boom.
It’s gone.
Here’s the rule most people ignore:
The moment you feel unstoppable is the moment you should de-risk.
Once you hit your target, or once you feel nothing can stop you:
Put 80–90% into stables
Buy back $BTC
Move money into safer assets
Build an emergency fund
Diversify into real estate
Or start the business you’ve been dreaming about
If you really have the urge to gamble, fine....
10% max. That’s it. No more.
Protecting profits > chasing another 100x that may never come.
Why?
Because confidence turns into arrogance fast.
And arrogance kills judgement.
When you feel invincible, that’s your signal to step back.
Save this.
Come back to it when altseason hits.

ETH 2026 Prediction
Let’s talk about $ETH because when it reaches ATH, that’s when we will see the biggest alt season.
Ethereum was born in 2015, the year of the Goat, and next year we enter the Yang Fire Horse, a cycle that naturally supports Goat energy.
Horse and Goat harmonize, making 2026 an astrologically favorable setup for $ETH.
But here’s the interesting contradiction. If we follow zodiac rules strictly, Rooster years and Ox years are supposed to be bad for Goat.
Yet Ethereum had its two biggest, most explosive moments during exactly those “unfavorable” years 2017 (Rooster) and 2021 (Ox).
Those should’ve been weak years for a Goat, but they weren’t. They were peak ETH years.
And here is my thesis. Altcoins are heavily dependent on what BTC does, especially in the beginning stage. Everything still moves with Bitcoin.
Crypto is still in its early adoption phase, so BTC sets the liquidity tone, leads the expansion, and only after that do altcoins run. ETH’s biggest years weren’t random at all; they were BTC-driven mania years.
With ETH ETFs, institutional inflows, and Ethereum growing into its own macro asset, we may be entering the first era where ETH begins to break out of Bitcoin’s shadow.
My thesis remains the same : BTC leads early Q1, just like every cycle. But as we move into mid–late Q1 and into the Horse year, which boosts Goat energy, ETH should start outperforming BTC massively.
ETH was born in a Wood Goat year, and next year’s Fire Horse favors that energy.
And don’t forget … when $BTC tops, $ETH usually tops a few weeks later.
Will this time be different with mass adoption? Not 100% sure but I highly doubt it.
I’m bullish BTC late Jan through Feb but presently bearish for 2026.
This is a data informed opinion which I hold lightly.
Our internal models of investor flows put in a bottom on 24th December and has steadily strengthened. Typically it takes around 2-3 weeks for this to express itself in price, arguably this is taking place now (only held back by very short term overbuying on technical oscillators).
Also promising is that paper based liquidity (futures markets) is coming back in after dying for months, just like it did mid 2021 which lead to a second top in the last cycle.
So 98-100k needs contesting. Then if we get past that it’s a wait and see how ATH resistance fairs.
But I remain bearish 2026 because in the broader picture liquidity flows have been waning relative to price momentum since Jan 2025. We are in the hot zone right now for the final stages when momentum has insufficient supporting liquidity.
What would change my mind would be a massive influx of spot (I.e. longer term) liquidity in coming months to break the waning down trend.
Worth keeping in mind a confirmed a bear market is not yet in place, which would be seen as increasingly negative flows out of BTC (a laggy indicator to a cycle top).
