Returns 90d +1.3% (n=6) · 180d +2.0% (n=6)
Raw direction-aware returns on public statements — long calls credited when the price rose, shorts when it fell, shorts capped at −100% — in a rising market this mostly measures who was long, not who has skill. Returns run from the stance date; calls are rarely closed publicly, so fixed 90-day / 180-day / 1-year horizons are used. A horizon shows only once it has fully matured, and only at 5+ scored stances.

Forward Guidance · video
Gold and Bitcoin are co-rising as a 'purification trade' against an unstoppable fiat debasement cycle driven by the US running 7% deficits in a boom economy and a geopolitical currency war — a multi-year trade because it took 20 years to build this imbalance…
“when you see gold and Bitcoin being the top two performing assets year to date, it's really a purification of the cancer of our financial system”

Forward Guidance · video
Institutions seeking levered Bitcoin exposure are better served by 10-delta long-dated OTM calls than by altcoin beta plays, eliminating lead-lag basis risk while preserving asymmetric upside
“you can literally just buy a long-dated out-of-the-money call leap that has 10 delta and actually play that”

IBIT
bullish
Forward Guidance · video
Long-dated OTM Bitcoin ETF calls are capital-efficient, near-zero-decay instruments that replicate investor intent (treat Bitcoin as a call option on itself) while expressing Bitcoin's unique volatility smile where upside tails are as fat as downside
“it really is a free call option like no pun intended it's like a call option of a call option”

“it's accelerating the velocity of bitcoin's price discovery by being able to use leverage in a way the system has not seen before”

long BITCOIN / short VOL
pair
Forward Guidance · video
Deribit implied vol deserves a significant premium over IBIT implied vol because Deribit options cover 24/7 trading while IBIT options cover only the 6.5-hour NYSE session, giving Deribit holders ~2x the gamma monetization window; if surfaces trade at parity…
“you get almost half the more time to monetize that gamma with Deribit options than you will with IBIT options”

Forward Guidance · video
IBIT/Bitcoin implied vol has room to grow (below 75th percentile of its own 1-year range, max ~85) while MSTR implied vol is near its all-time high (~200), making a long Bitcoin vol / short MSTR vol spread attractive on a relative basis
