![SpaceX Just Shocked Everyone... [Stream Recap]](/api/images/posts%2F0d3d8136-a8ad-4133-a52e-4cdf4fb41027.jpg)
Investors should maintain high conviction in SpaceX as a low-float narrative play, driven by a massive supply-demand imbalance and Elon Musk’s $1 trillion revenue projection. In the semiconductor sector, Micron (MU) and AMD remain top picks as they hit new all-time highs fueled by the emerging "Local AI" hardware trend. Hyperliquid (HYPE) is currently a high-momentum trade positioned for new all-time highs following a significant breakout in the $60 range. For "special situation" crypto trades, Zcash (ZEC) and Near Protocol (NEAR) offer actionable upside as regulatory pressures and AI audits drive interest in privacy-focused assets. Conversely, investors should consider fading Oil spikes and Jito (JTO), as geopolitical risks appear overpriced and the Solana ecosystem currently lacks relative strength.
• The host is heavily bullish on SpaceX, currently holding a position that is up 50% on 3x leverage. • Context: The discussion centers on the "SpaceX IPO" (referenced as June 12th in the transcript context) and the game theory of market participants. • Low Float Narrative: The host argues that because only 4% of the float is available, and most institutional/retail investors "top-blasted" (sold early) thinking the IPO would be the market top, there is a massive supply-demand imbalance. • Elon Musk Factor: A recent tweet from Elon Musk predicting $1 trillion in revenue by 2030 is cited as a major "bullpost" that will drive the "Elon Premium" higher. • Market Cap Comparison: At an estimated $85 billion valuation, the host compares it to Solana's all-time high market cap and Hyperliquid, suggesting it is undervalued relative to its narrative power.
• Hold/Buy Strength: The host refuses to sell, believing the lack of available shares and forced buying from indexes/401ks will drive the price higher. • Sentiment: Extremely Bullish. The host views this as a "crypto-style" trade (low float, high FDV, strong narrative) playing out in the equities market.
• Fable Model Ban: Anthropic recently pulled its "Fable" model (a version of Mythos) after government intervention and "export controls." • Internal Conflict: Reports suggest Amazon (a major investor) "jailbroke" the model and alerted the Trump administration to vulnerabilities, leading to a tense standoff between Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and government officials. • Regulatory Risk: The host highlights the "Effective Altruist" (EA) culture at Anthropic as a risk factor, suggesting their detachment from society leads to friction with regulators. • Sovereign AI: The ban is seen as a catalyst for other countries (especially China) to develop their own "Sovereign AI" to avoid reliance on censored or restricted U.S. models.
• Bullish for Open Source: The host and cited experts (like Chamath Palihapitiya) believe government overreach on "Frontier Labs" (Anthropic, OpenAI) is a massive tailwind for Open Source models and "Neo-clouds." • Investment Expression: While Anthropic is private, the host looked for trades in Zcash (ZEC) and Bittensor (TAO) as proxies for decentralized/private AI, though he expressed skepticism about their long-term utility in this specific context.
• Performance: Described as a "monster" right now, breaking out of key levels in the low $60s range with massive volume. • Context: The host views Hyperliquid as a top-tier decentralized exchange (DEX) play, noting that the CEO may appear on the stream soon.
• Action: Bullish. The host suggests it is ready for "new all-time highs" (ATH).
• Micron (MU): Up 11% to a new all-time high; the host is up 110% from his initial entry. • AMD: Up 7% to a new all-time high. Mentioned a new "Smallest AI development system" capable of running 200B parameter models locally. • ARM: Up 8%, benefiting from the broader AI and semiconductor rip. • Marvell (MRVL): Up 11%, though the host admitted to trading it poorly and exiting too early.
• Theme: "Local AI" is becoming a major narrative. The ability to run large models on compact, local hardware (like AMD’s new system) is a key trend to watch. • Sentiment: Strongly Bullish on the sector, specifically MU and AMD.
• Bitcoin (BTC): Trading around $66.5k. The host notes a "wipeout" occurred but the bounce has been solid, aided by news of geopolitical tensions easing (the "war is over" narrative). • Zcash (ZEC): Up 11% following news that Anthropic audited Zcash with "Mythos" and it passed. The host views this as a "special situation" trade. • Near Protocol (NEAR): Up 12%, benefiting from "privacy tailwinds" related to UK social media regulations. • Solana (SOL): Trading at $75. The host is "flat" on Solana, expressing a lack of interest in buying it compared to the opportunity in SpaceX. • Jito (JTO): Up 32%, though the host is "fading" (betting against) it due to his bearishness on the broader Solana ecosystem.
• Strategy: Focus on "special situation" trades with 3:1 risk/reward ratios rather than trading out of boredom. • Privacy Coins: Keep an eye on ZEC and NEAR as regulatory pressure on the internet increases.
• Oil (Crude/Brent): Down significantly (4.2%). The host is "auto-fading" any oil spikes, believing the geopolitical risk is being overplayed and that most countries are incentivized to keep prices low. • Copper: Approaching key resistance levels. The host is watching closely but has not taken a definitive stance yet. • Uranium: Up 6%, showing strength alongside other energy/commodity rotations.
• Bearish on Oil: The host believes the "right-tail" (worst case) war outcomes are already priced in or avoided, making oil a "frustrating trade" for bulls.
• Context: The UK government announced a ban on social media for those under 16. • Investment Search: The host looked for trades in VPN stocks and KYC (Know Your Customer) suppliers but found the businesses to be "terrible" and the stocks unresponsive. • Actionable Insight: The host suggests this regulation is a "drastic step" that will likely fail technically but could drive interest in Privacy Tech and Decentralized Platforms.
