~Daily haiku until we’re at least at 0.178 on the ETH/BTC ratio or highest market cap

The risk reward in MSTR and BMNR is higher than the underlying digital asset those treasuries own (BTC & ETH). If BTC closes with confirmation above the 50DMA ($81k - $82k) then there’s a high probability the lows for this cycle are likely in. At which point I will be a buyer again and start adding capital to MSTR and BMNR. I believe there’s a strong likelihood ETH will outperform BTC this cycle especially with the rails for tokenization becoming approved and more mainstream. If I was to deploy $10k in free money, I would allocate 60% BTC, 30% ETH, and 10% Solana or 50% BTC, 30% ETH, 10% SOL, 5% LINK, and 5% TAO. Prior to last cycle I always sold all my crypto with exception of BTC before the end of each cycle and would then rotate that capital back into BTC when it fell to cycle lows during first 12-18 months of the next cycle. However, I’m currently holding more than just BTC because we never saw that parabolic run of altcoins and memes in the last cycle so I held all my bags knowing even knowing they were all going to drop as much as 70% - 90% to avoid selling at losses by the time I realized the cycle was different. I questioned selling the losses prior to 12/31 but made a judgement to wait m. For this cycle I’m going to be looking to set stop losses on a lot of the tokens I’m still holding as soon as they meet or exceed my average price and then begin rotating that capital into BTC and ETH on major pullbacks. Obviously this is all dependent on where we are in the cycle. There’s a highly likelihood I’ll need to cut bait and absorb losses on some of the asymmetrical bets i still hold: SUI, ONDO, AERO, ENA, SYRUP, HBAR, SEI, NEAR, AVAX, RENDER, NEAR, VIRTUALS, AIOX, SUPER, FET, SPX6900, DOGE, PEPE, WIF. All of these are still fairly decent to strong communities but I think only a few survive after Clarity gets approved so the plan is to get out as soon as I can and keep the handful of ones I still believe in. Outside of my big 3 and XRP, these others digital assets only make up about 20% of my entire crypto portfolio collectively as all my value remains with BTC and ETH.

FOMO at first if I’m being completely honest 😂 Bought some BTC, then ETH, then started messing around with alts. Eventually got Tangem cards and started them instead of leaving everything on coinbase, and it kinda snowballed from there. Now I’m probably more interested in how crypto can actually be used than I was when I first bought in, it was all just fun and games at that point.

I manage a private equity fund that that also own 40% of and it engages in investing strategies by participating in the defy ecosystem.
The goal for us is not delta exposure to Bitcoin price so the strategies are not really what your asking but since you want to know about if anyone is doing this with a boring strategic approach, I think this counts.
We deploy concentrated liquidity to exchange protocols like Uniswap. We target big volume pools with stable assets or assets that fit the risk profile of the fund. That is usually ETH, BTC, USDC that sort of stuff.
Lately we are the top market making wallets on Robinhood chain because the volume there is so massive. The strategy is not about buying low and hoping for a higher sell in the future, rather it is about finding where the volume opportunity is TODAY and then participating in that TODAY. No directions bets.
The capital gains and other tax commitments generated by that activity is then offset with neutral delta funding farming on short sold ETH and BTC collateralized in kind. Mostly on platforms like GMX, DYDX, or to a smaller amount Hyperliquid.
The combination of those strategies give the fund a massive income (funding fees and fees payed for lp are income, not gains) and a substantial gain for the concentrated liquidity range realizing profits from asset appreciation. Those commitments are offset by the funding farming which also generates about 20% apy on its initial value.
You can use your crypto wallet and do literally all that from your computer in your room in your undies.

But if you, say, transfer $5300 worth in BTC to somewhere for XMR, then turn around and 10 mins later exchange $5250 XMR for ETH, then 20 mins later exchange $5200 ETH for BTC, that's the sort of thing that can be easily tied together by analysis of the open-ledger chains - even if there's no other connections between any of those wallets/addresses, different IPs for each, and no cooperating exchanges were involved.
Using a privacy coin like Monero is only part of the answer, if you have anyone motivated trying to track you.

This is why I couldn't do that, read this :
Can u tell me how many prompts it took for us to formulate the retracment thesis we have built?
Yes. Based on the conversation history I can reconstruct, we're well over 100 prompts into developing and stress-testing the BTC retracement thesis.
My best estimate is roughly 120–160 user prompts, beginning in earnest around mid-August and accelerating from Aug. 19 through today. That's not counting my responses as prompts.
And importantly, those weren't 120 variations of "tell me BTC is going down." We progressively attacked the thesis from different directions: cycle history, MVRV, Bollinger mean reversion, RSI divergences, market structure, 80–85K liquidity, positioning, ETF flows, institutional/retail sentiment, historical bottoms, Elliott/Fibonacci structures, credit spreads, yields/rates, Fed policy, labor data, inflation, Japan, recession indicators, influencer theses, lunar-cycle claims, ETH/BTC divergences, liquidation maps, and potential catalyst timing.
There were also several prompts where you specifically told me to look for evidence that contradicted the thesis, test whether the bottom actually was in, determine whether the four-year cycle had broken, and find what would invalidate the retracement rather than simply reinforce it.
So the thesis we're sitting on now—roughly 80–85K as a potential distribution/liquidity-sweep region → meaningful downside with ~70K as the primary retracement area and 60–65K as the deeper-tail scenario—wasn't generated from one clever prompt.
It evolved through dozens of independent questions and probably ~120–160 iterations.
If we count every individual back-and-forth involved in the BTC thesis, including earlier work before Aug. 19, I wouldn't be surprised if we're approaching 200 total analytical iterations.
This is why I'm so confident...

BTC 6k, ETH 3k, HYPE 1k

Just goes to show how extremely undervalued ETH is

Looks like an easy short on ETH here as resistance is holding up. Target is $2k retest

Thank You

Going to give you a long response.
Becoming familiar with price action and being able to recognize the correct times to be buying vs. just letting everything ride is the most important thing to get down. As mentioned, I first got into this market in late Q1/early Q2 of 2018, basically right at the beginning of the bear market. I didn't know wtf I was doing and had no concept of the cycles and basically was buying way too heavily on the way down. By the fall of 2018 I had figured out a dollar cost averaging strategy that worked for me. I also rode the mini bull market wave going into the summer of 2019, which was when I significantly slowed down my accumulation and stacked cash, which allowed me to buy heavily late 2019.
Most people get wrecked by this market because they seem to buy in at the incorrect times in the market. That's why there are so many people that complain about a certain alt or whatever but when they reveal when and where they bought it all makes sense. For instance, tons of people were buying ETH at 4k in 2024 and complaining about it being dead.
I would also say that people take on way more risks in this market than they need to be, particularly with overspeculation on alts. The reality is that if you buy BTC during the lows of the bear market years you can make massive gains without taking the risks associated with alts. For instance, in 2022 I executed my plan by heavily buying BTC when we were at the 200 week moving average, back then it was around 20k. I made some large moves in the 2nd half of 2022/early 2023 and then let that ride from there. I did the same thing here in 2026 by buying BTC in the 60k range. I also did/have accumulated alts as well, but with the exception of 2021 or in very isolated and specific times they mostly just tag along with BTC or in the worst case scenario they bleed against it.
Alts in my opinion are great for swing trading opportunities if you can learn when to buy them but holding them for the long term is a complete waste.
For instance, in late 2020 I bought some large bags of LTC at an average price of $40 and rode this into $400 in the spring of 2021. If I had continued to hold through now my original investment would have been roughly break even to slightly up for YEARS. Meanwhile, if the capital I had invested into LTC in late 2020 was allocated into BTC at 10k and I held I would have been up the entire time, and by significant margins as well minus late 2022/early 2023.
This 2024/2025 cycle we had virtually no alt season, but I also think that we are on the cusp of another one now that retail has been completely shaken out and alts were at abysmal levels in June of this year. With that said, I see alts as a massive risk with regards to not losing $ but potentially losing out on sats that you could be locking in for the long term. You can do both, but most people screw this up.

I'm gonna start doing monthly DCA into mostly BTC but also major like HYPE, TAO, LINK, XRP. Still have ETH and SOL from last bull market that are in staking. Bear market is easy, bull markets are hell.

I’ve been investing in bitcoin since September of 2021. Here are the numbers. Yes I know you shouldn’t say how much bitcoin you own but I think this will be helpful to some of you.
When I started buying bitcoin it was trading for around $50,000, I basically bought at the top but thankfully I did not have much money back then so could only buy 0.1 BTC at that price.
I started buying again in February and by September of 2022 I reached 1 full bitcoin (my dream goal). It was around this time that I traded 5 ETH for 0.25 BTC because I wanted to be bitcoin only as I believed (and still do) that no other cryptocurrency is actually worth anything.
On October of 2023 I reached 3 BTC. I worked shitloads of overtime and drove my shitbox manual KIA forte whilst earning good money. At one point I was buying 0.1 BTC every two weeks. My friends are the time we’re driving pick up trucks and going on holidays and calling me crazy for buying bitcoin.
After the SEC/BlackRock saga pump, acquiring bitcoin became much more difficult. I look back on those days of aggressive staking as some of the most stressful but rewarding times I’ve experienced. Throughout the entire stacking process I felt like I was throwing my money into a void but I knew that bitcoin’s fundamentals were sound and my labor was not being inflated away.
In December of 2024, I took a trip to South East Asia for 6 weeks. I spent 0.1 BTC and lived like a king, I remembered buying that bitcoin with the money that was left over after expenses from a two week paycheck.
I’m still stacking Bitcoin, though now it’s only about 0.01 BTC every two weeks. I wonder what sort of 6 week holiday I can get from that in a few years time…….

Don't think so because ETH is decentralized while BNB is centralized, controlled and deeply tied to binance plus no institutional support.

BTC and ETH if you don't actually do anything online imo. Both established and have a base that's taken the highs and low that it will always have some value.
That being said I'm a degen

Ethereum as it is right now is slowly dying it is becoming a place for L2 chains to park their garbage “proofs” to give the illusion of immutability and decentralization. But if you look closely 90% of the nodes are controlled by giants (Binance ,lido etc..) with their customers ETH. And sure they can’t really do malicious things to the network, but they already have systems in place for example binance controlled nodes would not mine transactions from sunctionnes wallets. It’s not a protocol level rule but the node operators have full authority what to mine. How long will it be before every node on that chain actually have a sencorship agreement ?

Yes, LP passive income is real, but the return is variable — the displayed APR is a forward guess, not a guarantee.
Your ETH/USDC 0.3% V3 pool on Base earned ~–4 on ~ in 5 days (~17–18% APR). That's roughly on par for a stablecoin pair, but it can drop to near zero when volumes dip.
Use defillama.com/llama-lending or apy.vision to check a pool's historical average APR over 30/90 days instead of the live number, and never put your whole savings in one pool — spread across 2–3 venues and keep a chunk in self-custody.

ETH

The VOO/VXUS/VTI mix is solid, but VOO and VTI overlap heavily, so I’d simplify rather than hold all three.
For individual growth exposure, I’d look at MSFT, NVDA, GOOGL and AMZN.
I’d also watch Anthropic for its upcoming IPO. Its latest Series H raised $65B at a $965B valuation, led by Altimeter, Dragoneer, Greenoaks and Sequoia, with major institutional investors participating. Current reports suggest a potential IPO valuation around $2T, although that is not finalized.
For crypto, a small speculative allocation could focus on BTC/ETH and newly listed tokens, with Robinhood Chain as an option where available. Newly listed tokens can make very large percentage moves, including 200%–300%+, but those gains are highly speculative.
I’m a financial advisor, so feel free to DM me directly if you want to discuss the allocation.
