The New Era Playbook: Mastery with Precision, Timing, and Narratives to Win This Cycle
I now declare that we've entered a new era with new rules.
Precision, timing, and narratives define the winners.
Your playbook this cycle = BTC, SOL, RWA, Memes, AI
How I navigate my portfolio for this bull run 👇🧵
Its now timely to rethink strategy, leverage the advantage of emerging sectors.
Here’s how I’m approaching this market and what I think every serious investor should focus on.
👉 For Sub 100K Portfolios: Go aggressive on-chain
Portfolio of such size; the key is agility. This is the moment to be on-chain, be aggressive, and allocate 10% to tokens in the 3-6M market cap range—tokens with untapped potential but enough momentum to attract attention. Look to swing trade or hold; the goal is not just a quick buck but capturing growth in high-engagement areas. Right now, on-chain is the shortest path to multiplying portfolios in a bull market. The crowd is pouring in, and attention is currency. This is where the smart, early plays come in.

👉 Mid 6-Figure Portfolios: Leveraging Narratives and News
For those in the mid-6-figure range, you’re in a prime position to capture alpha by layering swing trades on top of your core holdings. Narratives and news are fuel in a strong market, where any catalyst can drive price action. Capitalize on the rotations within alts based on emerging narratives. Think in terms of RWA, DeFi, AI, and Hyperliquidity ecosystems. This is not the time to passively hold, take advantage of each narrative cycle.

👉 Post-Election Denomination: BTC and SOL as Benchmarks
As we approach election season, I’m shifting my benchmarks: $BTC and $SOL are now my primary stores of value. As regulatory tides shift, particularly if we see a DeFi-positive administration, the prospects for SOL-based projects are especially bright. Banking your wins into BTC and SOL would be positioning yourself in the assets that could lead on the U.S. market narrative.

👉 Less is More: Focus on Proven Strategies
Time is money, and in a market this volatile, it’s easy to get caught chasing every new trend. Instead, focus on a few strategies that have delivered. Personally, I’m staying away from ETH—unless a “free money” narrative emerges, its betas are less compelling. “The man who chases two rabbits catches neither.” Keep your focus sharp and your strategy simple.
👉 Barbell Strategy: Memes x AI
I’m doubling down on Memes and AI. Memes are here to stay; they’re woven into our digital culture just as much as TikTok videos. AI, on the other hand, is in a category of its own with a narrative tied to real technological advances with a direct line to mainstream attention. The $GOAT token to $1 feels inevitable in this landscape along with other meme tokens like $NPC, $BOME, $TEE, $BRETT, $POPCAT, $SPX. AI projects with a strong dev team and vision are gold; they attract consistent attention, and in crypto, attention is everything. Clear that I’m not deviating from this barbell strategy.

🔑 Key Sectors to Watch
• DeFi: With potential regulatory shifts (think Gensler sidelined, DeFi-friendly leaders emerging), DeFi’s outlook is turning positive. SOL-focused DeFi projects have a unique edge, while big names like UNI and AAVE are well-positioned for a new era in U.S. markets. Watch for regulatory catalysts—they could be game-changing.
• AI: The trajectory of AI projects is unstoppable. Unlike animal memes, AI tokens benefit from real innovation. New models, constant improvements, and massive attention make this a lasting narrative. In a market where attention is currency, AI tokens with a dedicated dev team are a strong play. $GOAT to $1 isn’t just a target—it’s a sign of the times.
• Memes: Memes financialization are embedded in digital culture. See something new? Run it through a quick checklist and buy. Memes are now part of the ecosystem, and ignoring them is ignoring a cultural force. I’ve previously outlined a system to spot strong meme plays—stick to it and don’t overthink.
• Hyperliquid Ecosystem: This sector has found its product-market fit, one of the few with undiscovered value and serious wealth potential. For those who want early plays with massive upside, hyperliquidity projects could be your entry point.
