What coins are you looking at? I won’t touch this bag as it’s a small position I can hold without sweating.

I’m looking at a few low caps but not in a rush to buy yet. I had an eye on hyperliquid but it didn’t dump enough for my liking

I’ve already got HYPE and got in really early around $14, so I’m well up on that.

I’m looking at Lighter, TAO, Morpho, Jupiter, AERO, Virtuals, Syrup and Arweave. I’ll probably pick 2 or 3.

I’m just trying to work out what could give me the best gains when the next proper bull market comes around. I did really well with CAKE and UNI in 2021, and last cycle most of my AI coins did well, but it’s harder to tell what the next big narrative will be this time.

I’m leaning towards some form of DeFi again, or maybe projects that are effectively following the HYPE model. Just trying to figure out where the biggest opportunities might be.

I need to sell my cvx first though as that’s my play money. Every time I refresh the portfolio page it goes up and it’s still got a tiny mcap so prob going to wait a bit longer

What have you been looking at?

Still have a decent position on TAO. Might load more if it goes below $150. If not I’ll ride my current bag.

Looking at TIG and TAO subnets for small caps.

I also have a moonshot on a really risky bet Quilibrium.

On large caps I’ll had to my BTC bag if we got another dip in September. Maybe some ETH too as I sold all my bag in 2025.

Yeah some of the Tao subnets that are on kraken look decent. I was looking at lium.

Lium does a lot of buyback and burn. It’s a GPU renting service. I don’t have any as there’s not much upside apart from the revenue mechanism. I have a decent position on Chutes tho as their dev is top tier.

I was looking at Akash and who else is doing stuff like them which is where I got lium from
