MANY PEOPLE are asking for my MARKET THOUGHTS. Most of the onchain/trench kids who SPAWNED into existence in 2023 [after SOL started picking up speed] DO NOT KNOW what 2022~ entailed. It was an INFINITE MONEY CHEATCODE to be shorting FDV shitcoins [and during that time, there were SO MANY free shorts because of how parabolic 2021 was]. Nowadays, there's not really TOO MUCH considering everyone realized long ago that 99.9% of VC coins are scams [hence why onchain became so big]. So you've either had people short BTC / ETH / SOL with size, Or you've had people obtain information about XYZ team unwinding the supply of a coin and they position short for that. Shorting 100m~ FDV shitcoins isn't really enticing. It requires a lot of mental work [assuming it's size] to supervise altcoin shorts when there are 100 different variables that could play against you [scam pumps etc.] THE GAME IS NOT THE SAME. Not to say you can't do it, maybe I'm just too lazy these days. BUT. Relative to BTC, some alts are STILL showing outlier strength. So when BTC finds a footing, You can either SELL into that pump and treat it as a complacency shoulder [the mean reversions if you're holding spot will outperform all short sellers], Or you can hold and wait to see if BTC gets above the 10/10 wick it set [in which case, you'd have likely bought the bottom on some alts leading into 2026]. If you've been here before, you know higher is preordained no matter what - so who cares? If you've played with more than you could afford to lose and not taken a single cent off the table, Blame yourself only. ~ Dr. Axius.

You bullpost anything these days and you’re suddenly a part of the cabal/team’s payroll [not true whatsoever]. There was once a time not too long ago where everyone was FASCINATED with: “Buy shiny new coins with no bagholders!” That quickly became a disastrous trend when people realized it was just VCs unloading into buyers as exit liquidity. So the concept of profiting from newer “altcoins” became dead, People chased memes instead. And those that didn’t chase memes, rotated into dino coins [XRP being a good example]. The only coin that comes to mind that was “new” and performed well was HYPE. Jeff did everything right. I’m not saying it’s comparable to say that because HYPE did well, ASTER must do well too. But when you bet on egos, I don’t see a world where a guy like CZ [with infinite money] would have any incentive to ruin his rep for being associated with a “permadownonly” coin. All charts sell-off eventually to shake out weak hands, it’s a transfer of wealth. I remain bullish on this period being the “bottoming chop” for strong alts. Don’t use leverage. NFA. DYOR. ~ Dr. Axius.
