Some of my anti consensus bets for 2026:
1) Stocks to crypto rotation
2) AI to crypto rotation
3) Gold to BTC rotation
4) Within crypto, infrastructure outperforming applications.
5) Death of revenue tokens
6) DXY strength
7) Eventual altseason AFTER QE
Everyone hates on memes these days
But cant name anywhere else on earth where more people had SO many chances to make life changing money from a little capital in a short amount of time.
The only thing memes are missing rn is that.
We need another trump, another pepe, another doge.. once we get that we are back.
The smaller runners are cool and im glad people are winningโฆ
But we need a fucking statement win.
We need billions. Thats what we are fucking known for.
We will do it again.
Metals/GOLD to Crypto rotation playing out as i expected. CT expectedly were euphoric on metals at TOP while i printed off shorts. Next, AI to BTC/crypto rotation will leave remaining CT people astonished. Always bet against sentiment for generational gains.

Some anti sentiment rotations which will define summer 26:
* AI to Crypto/BTC
* Utility to memes
* Emerging markets to US exceptionalism
Ace these three rotations to retire bloodlines.
let me explain reasoning to this, if i bought some memes on solana, those memes already have existing holders & ppl are already buying memes, the ones that will do the best the market will show you with their attention on socials, volume, holder count, etc etc, you dont want to be following what i say you want to be following what the market is saying, memes dont trade well based off one person they trade well when theres a large community of ppl who just topblast w/ whatever $$$ they're willing to lose & then just bagwork, doesnt work when the early buyers are just looking to exit on any extra attention
Remember things like AI, just like turbines and electricity come and go BUT Bitcoin like GOLD is a macro asset class which works as a monetary inflation hedge. Destined to last beyond eternity. AI to BTC rotation both a short term and long term story.
If the inflation data does not support rate cuts, an orchestrated "black swann" event sure will. We are still in early 2020 and mid cycle. Herds playing this like a "4 yr cycle " will get rekt by upcoming volatility.
BREAKING: May CPI inflation rises to 4.2%, the highest level since April 2023.
Core CPI inflation also rises to 2.9%, the highest since September 2025.
Inflation in the US is officially back above 4% and more than double the Fed's target.
Odds of Fed rate hikes are rising.
During bottoms and bear markets, follow optimists and those who present bullish cases. During euphoria and bull, follow people who are doomers. Of course bottom 99.9 % will do opposite.
Unlike tech and narratives like AI or quantum or electricity or turbines or robotics which come and go, Bitcoin is a GOLD like digital commodity. A macro asset class which will survive till end of time. Volatility cycles are a feature only to make generational wealth.
Jamie Dimon, complaining about the Clarity Act and Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong this AM: โHeโs spending hundreds of millions of dollars in Washington in this thing.โ
Maria: โHe said heโs representing the whole โโ
Dimon: โHeโs full of shit.โ
Maria: โโฆwell.โ
Almost overnight, Ethereum has apparently failed & lost its entire narrative. All the big names are leaving.
Meanwhile, retail chasing Hyperliquid and Zcash as they hover at ATH, and are supposedly the only two projects in crypto that matter right now.
REAL bear market things.
Elephant in the room rn is a DXY forming a base to go parabolic soon. Again a anti sentiment call of mine and why I called for US exceptionalism. This only accelerates as DXY rallies. Also why summer 26 closely resembles 2020. Also why $BTC will outperform $GOLD all of 2026

The anti consensus trade is not being bullish per say. It is not even betting against 4 yr cycle. But real paid trade is a holistic rotation in altcoins from stocks/AI/metals. The sentiment supports this. The cycle theory(we approaching end) supports this.
Remember the herd influencers sole goal is to play catchup aka momentum investing. Hence you need to bet against these herds at inflection points. It's the reason i ace every macro move and everyone gets it wrong always.
AI like quantum, solar, electricity, turbines etc etc will be a narrative which will be hot for few days then disappear into oblivion (in context of markets). Crypto is the backbone of financial ecosystem and a macro asset class which will be relevant for millenia.
Problem is not that the 4 yr cycle theory is wrong. Problem however is that not enough 4 yr cyclists have capitulated enough(relative to current macro) to make betting on 4 yr cycle a wise bet. All this makes sense when you approach this through a early 2020 framework than 2022.
Haven't seen so many perma-bulls so cautious at ATH's. Maybe the rally hasn't flipped enough sentiment yet. My prediction is next few weeks of AI to crypto rotation will cause enough euphoria such that 4 yr cyclist capitulate.
Tom Lee remains bearish in the short term and continues to expect a 15-20% drawdown later this summer.
According to him, the correction will be driven by:
1. How the Fed reacts to the underlying inflation risks
2. The market not liking inflation concerns while yields are rising, with inflation shocks and energy shortages still in the pipeline
3. A large wave of IPOs creating a lot of supply
After this drawdown, Tom Lee believes the following 18-24 months could bring one of the biggest rallies of our lifetime.
Podcast maxis in disbelief how iran war ignited main street to wall street. As DXY keeps rocketing higher driving rotation out of "productive" economy assets into frothy risk on financial assets. Generational regime this for $BTC
When I tweeted this, podcast maxis were calling for rotation from wall street to main street at lows. But iran war totally flipped the script as financial assets keep sucking liquidity from main street/economy. 2022 herds and 4 yr cycle maxis defeated in real time.
