First green day on the books thanks to Hare strategy 🟢

Caught an absolute banger today. Strategy finally clicking.

InfoFi discourse heating up again on the timeline 👀

Usually a decent signal we're entering bullish territory. When niche narratives start recirculating, liquidity's moving back into alts.

Keep tabs on $INFO plays and related tokens. This narrative died hard in the bear—if it's resurfacing now, early movers could catch decent upside before the herd arrives.

Robinhood chain just went live on Blockchain DeFi Wallet 🔴

Anon what's your play? Are you:
- Aping into new tokens?
- Farming yields?
- Just bridging assets over?

Let me know what you're cooking on $HOOD chain

Real ID rollout is a nightmare.

Most people won't even bother jumping through the hoops. Classic govt friction killing adoption before it starts.

If Web3 onboarding had this many steps, we'd all still be using Excel spreadsheets.

Finally got a breather after weeks deep in research and building strats.

Just opened a $SAND short.

Let's see how this plays out.

Finally going live with my first algo trading bot after 6-9 months of deep research.

Started down the rabbit hole through @therobotjames, @ScottPh77711570, @dima_quant, @ZenomTrader, @algojan, @MrMilkTrading and others. Spent months grinding through Rob's ATFS book, research papers, Dave Whitcomb's Peak Trading Research, Kevin Davey, Rene Balke, and NeuroTrader888 on YT.

Where I'm at:
• Recreated Rob's continuous trend-following strategy (adapted EWMAs for crypto)
• 3-month forward test complete
• Bot running live on testnet
• Taking it live end of this week or next

Not a 1:1 recreation—tweaked the EWMAs using Rob's tips and hand-picked a few coins. Running multiple speed configs.

Still skeptical. This could crash and burn or actually work. High risk, high learning curve.

Wish me wisdom, not luck.

Gemini crushes on visuals—charts, graphs, interactive models—but still fumbles basic logic errors even with clear instructions.

Asked it to backtest a simple MA crossover strat across time slots. Results looked fire... too fire. Ran an audit with Claude—turns out Gemini had signal-bar contamination. Classic rookie mistake.

Claude? Catches bugs like a hawk but feels overly cautious. Even after multiple prompts, it defaults to pessimistic takes.

Current workflow:
→ Ideate + initial code with Gemini
→ Debug + audit with Claude
→ Back to Gemini for testing + interpretation
→ Send final numbers to Claude for second opinion (outputs vary a lot)

No single AI is perfect. Stack them. Verify everything. Trust, but audit.

Most people still don't get it — running your own AI locally is the move. No middleman. No data leaks. Full control.

But here's the thing: by the time the masses figure this out, the infrastructure moat will already be built. The early adopters will own the rails.

If you're not spinning up local models now, you're ngmi on the next wave of decentralized compute. The window is closing faster than you think.

Africa's largest IPO just went live onchain 🔥

This is massive for real-world asset tokenization and emerging market liquidity. Traditional finance is finally bridging to crypto infrastructure at scale.

Watch this space - if execution delivers, we're looking at a blueprint for how developing economies can leapfrog legacy systems entirely.

Steam Frame takes keep rolling in as specs drop.

VR degens who've been grinding? Mostly bullish.

Yeah better headsets exist, but my old Index just worked plug-and-play. Low bar but that's rare in VR hardware.

Sometimes "it just works" > specs on paper.

Mandalorian and Grogu

Skip it tbh. Didn't hit at all. Disappointing.

Apple just dropped iPhone Duo.

Meanwhile I'm still here begging for another SE with a physical home button.

Sometimes the best tech is the tech that just worked.

After 8 years trading perps, one truth remains: most valuations in crypto are pure marketing.

TVL? Levered loops. Volume? Wash trades. High yields? Token emissions.

So we built something different at Inflection Labs: Holders Revenue Multiple (HRM). Market cap divided by annualized programmatic buyback revenue. No treasury games. No LP bribes. Just hard-coded buy pressure.

We ran an equal-weight portfolio rebalanced weekly for 13 weeks. Results:

WATCH basket: +95.3%
All-Board benchmark: +92.8%
$BTC: +30.7%
AVOID basket: +6.6%

88.7pp spread between top signal and avoid signal.

The alpha isn't finding 100x moonshots. It's downside elimination. Weeding out capital drag and decaying tokenomics.

This week triggered our sharpest defensive rotation since June.

Major revenue collapses:
$PUMP holders revenue -43.9% WoW
$JUP -44.5% WoW
$LIT -42.6% WoW
$HYPE -20.0% WoW

All four moved to AVOID. When fees drop 40% in a week, buyback floors bend.

Meanwhile two divergences:

1. Uniswap Catalyst
$UNI revenue surged +73.4% WoW. Sept 4 saw historic single-day burn: $1.15M worth of UNI (184k tokens) in 24 hours. Driver: Robinhood Chain where Uniswap captured 98% of flow.

But our model keeps $UNI at NEUTRAL (29.0x). Why? We need revenue durability, not day-one retail meme spikes. If burn rates stay elevated, multiple will compress fast.

2. $LIT vs $HYPE Relative Value Trade
June 6: $LIT traded at 36% discount to $HYPE (12.3x vs 19.2x)
13 weeks later: $LIT +220.2%, $HYPE +41.4%
Today: $LIT trades at 28% premium (34.9x vs 27.2x)

With both seeing fee contraction, that trade is exhausted. Both in AVOID. Step aside until fee capture stabilizes.

Every Monday 7am ET we publish The Standings: refreshed board, rebalanced basket, verified performance.

No price targets. No sponsor bags. Just data and structure.

Read full teardown in Issue 005.

The market really out here testing conviction levels.

Closed a position and literally under 60 seconds later it dumps exactly where I wanted.

This is the type of timing that makes you question if algos are watching retail stops or if it's just pure degen luck working against you.

Either way, the psychological warfare in trading is real. Position management >>> perfect entries.

Stay sharp out there.

$XAU H4 candles looking clean.

Could set up for a solid long if bulls step in.

Watching this closely.

$XAU setup this week:

Looking for continuation on gold after last week's strength. Key levels to watch:

2785-2790 resistance zone - if we break and hold above, next target is 2820+

2755-2760 support - this is where I'm looking for dip entries if we get a pullback

Macro backdrop still bullish: Fed uncertainty + geopolitical tensions keeping safe haven bid strong. Dollar weakness = gold strength.

Not chasing here - waiting for either a clean breakout above 2790 or a retrace to support for better R:R. Patience pays in this range.

Ethereum ETFs just pulled $824M last week. Bitcoin ETFs did $924M.

The gap is closing. $ETH is eating into $BTC's institutional flow dominance.

If this trend holds, we're looking at a real narrative shift. ETH beta play is back on the table for TradFi money.

Self-hosting LLMs is way easier than you think

No coding needed - just download a frontend and pull the models directly

Yeah it's slow on consumer hardware but the fact that you can run AI locally now is huge

Open source is eating the AI stack

Just dropped part 2 of our $INFLECTION research — deeper data, better models.

Key finding: PERP DEX revenue compression/expansion directly impacts token price. Not correlation. Causation.

If you're trading perp protocols and ignoring revenue metrics, you're flying blind. HRM model shows exactly when these things flip.

Not financial advice but this is the alpha most people miss when they chase narrative without fundamentals.

Pre-market read:

$BTC sitting at VAH — this is the line. Clean grind above = we're heading to $72-73K. Reject here? Expect a sweep back to higher lows around $61.4K. Watch this level closely.

$LIT looking solid at $2.56 base. Structure is there, but it's riding $BTC's wave. No BTC pump = no $LIT breakout.

$XAU bearish until proven otherwise. Not flipping bullish without clear confirmation.
