2014 Alt Coins

– Then built a large position in the 2019 bear market
– Path: “High fees are bullish”
– For Ethereum, you’re paying for the security

Zcash
– Path was high conviction ZEC early on
– It has really been down only since then
– Zooko (Zcash creator) mentioned in the white paper
– Military very interested in Zk-SNARKs
– for 60 IQ newbs, Zk-SNARK = Zero-Knowledge Succinct Non-Interactive Argument of Knowledge
Tezos
– Path fudded Tezos a bit for NFTs back in May
– The founder quote-tweeted him and got pissed
– Path: “Tezos as an investment isn’t great really”
– Path: “Tezos is definitely the second best chain for NFTs after ETH”

– Path: “Tezos has actual art!” he likes the art
NFTs
– CryptoKitties took off 2017 peaks

– MekaVerse is the biggest NFT drop maybe ever, comes out in 45 min
NFD
– Path fractionalized the fiesty DOGE picture

– that’s a very profitable day
– PleasrDAO fractionalized the original DOGE picture
– Bought for $4M, now worth $250M
– Cobie: “Why is dog money a thing at all?”
– It shows that memes have real value
Path soothingly talking and Ledger casually charting in the background
Cobie: “It’s pretty cool how Sam is the richest person under 30 and he just replies to your DMs and tweets”
Trading
– Cobie: “Do you still trade or are you just a collectooor?”
– Path: “I’ve been trading still, mostly NFTs”
– Still likes Bitcoin, longer ETH
– ETH will go sideways before $4k, then in a month or two you lever up on a dip and watch it rip
– Bitcoin probably runs first, then others after
– Path: “ETH chart looks good… going to $20k easy”
– Path: “This is the supercycle I don’t think these bleed out anymore”
