In this video I offer an alternate viewpoint: What if the magical Q4 pump we were promised doesn't happen? Though I believe BTC can decouple from the 4 year cycle, there are too many holders of alts expecting a magical parabolic pump based on nothing but hopium. I present my bear case for ETH and altcoins, and I have expressed this view by shorting $1M of ETH as well as a basket of what I consider to be vaporware altcoins.

MY VALUES:

QUALITY OVER QUANTITY
A lot of content creators are incentivized to pump out content for ad revenue. Taiki has never run YouTube ads on his channel because he believes in creating quality content, not monetizing your eyeballs via ads.

On top of not running any YouTube ads, Taiki has never participated in a paid promotion, a channel sponsorship, or even a CEX ref-link.
