You like ADA? Where do you think it's going in 2026?

I don't. I'm just locked in to get 1,000 ADA!

Ell, it could sink more and at this point, I would add more.

So… why do you want 1,000 ADA if it's not financial motivation?

Where did I state I am not in ADA for financial gain? Poster asked about 2026. I'm HODL for long term.

Saw this a few places so I assume its true that Burry gave a thumbs up

Micheal Burry is bullish tokenization aka Ethereum $ETH. 🤯 https://t.co/5N3BvdaxTO

I got a little more IBIT yesterday and thought about some MSTR but didn't pull the trigger.

I'll probably just stick with BMNR as the only treasury with any meaningful investment.

This is cool

Awesome, really seems tokenization is inevitable.

what exactly is tokenization?

I'm pretty high on xrp for the long haul

Just means a derivative of something on a blockchain. For example stable coins are essentially money market funds "tokenized" on the blockchain. So you can trade the asset onchain etc. Very similar to "paper gold/silver etc"

One interesting explanation I saw of tokenization was splitting parts off of a company business.

For example instead of just investing in Tesla they could tokenize just Tesla cars, or home solar or the battery wall. They even suggested a tokenization of Elons brain meaning whatever is new next year or however its written

helpful, thank you!

I haven't done a deep dive into a lot of the technical aspects of Solana. But from a very superficial view probably not a terrible buy at this point. I don't have any and am debating getting some with cash.(Not rotating).

Ive been buying some very small amount of Solana thru the FWDI treasury

I noticed this Friday my Schwab account wont let me buy it now. It use to be called FORD and thr name changed for some reason

Out of curiosity why not just make a Coinbase account?

Its in my 401K, self directed

I've also got a microscopic amount of Hedera (HBR)

This is a reason Ethwreum network is superior to Solana despite Solana speed in regards to institutional adoption.

Also this IMo highlights a massive value proposition to BMNR, which I talked about a week or so ago here.

Having a defacto validator for institutions as a service provider is going to be massive for BMNR.

Charles is leading a new blockchain "Night". Probably isn't good for Cardano long term. Something to look into if anyone is holding ADA.

For whatever it's worth ethbtc chart. Eth broke out of downtrend and looks like it's testing the previous resistance as support.

Might as well buy now. It's listed on Kraken.

Being pretty new to crypto, can someone point me to any kinda reading material to understand how / why it rises and falls the way it does?

Read? Idk. I like these guys for podcasts format.

Why rise and fall? Pure speculation. Although It is my belief (could be wrong) we are entering the first steps of its maturation process. 99.9% of alt coins will trend to zero. I think there might be 5-10 that survive and that's it. But those few that remain will be massive value.

Highly recommend staying away until mid to late 2026. More pain is coming.

Maybe. Maybe not.

what makes you think that?

thank you. pretty wild that "meme coin" became a thing

Yes and no. Large part of the meme coin phase is due to the velocity of liquidity in the crypto markets. It highlights as very attractive aspect to the tradFi world. SEC chair and Larry Fink say every stock will be tokenized. This is a a component as to why in my opinion.

Agree with this.

Certainly seems to be the prevailing sentiment. Which makes me wonder if the sell off is already priced in.

The Bitcoin four year cycle suggests we topped in Oct which implies 2026 is the next bear market. Bitcoin talking heads are saying the cycle is dead so take it with a grain of salt.

Repo rates, US bond auctions, etc. make me worried about the state of global liquidity.

Sentiment guys like HA are seeing their own red flags.

Japan moving away from near ZIRP does not bode well for equity markets. Go look at their 10yr bond chart(zoom out to all) and tell me the decision this month doesn't appear to be a pivot from their monetary policy over the last 30 years. They happen to be the single largest holder of US debt other than the American taxpayer.

PMs going nuts all at once feels ominous. I don't know what this means exactly but I don't think it's ever happened before.

I don't have any one smoking gun but there are enough indicators for me to agree with HA when he says there's pain ahead.

Seems like hard investments like land and other real estate are going to be the move?

Long term investments will rise and fall like they always do?

I agree if there is a liquidity crunch everything suffers. But I don't think there will be a liquidity crisis. And BTC IMO is being institutionalized. Just now can vanguard offer 1% IBIT positions. There's alot of liquidity to be deployed still.

But for me I think smart money will frontrun the next cycle and limit the downside during this bear cycle. And in short we will have a very short muted bear cycle. Rates will come down next year too. So those two things I think people will add to their btc/crypto positions. I can see one more capitulation sell off but really I think once 26 is underway we will be green. Granted if the global financial markets implode ya btc is going to be taking in the shorts. But so will everything so if that's someone's position I guess they go cash or something. Not really sure how you hedge that.
