Episode notes
Cycles Are Different Now
- Crypto cycles today differ radically from 2017 and 2021, so rigid cycle narratives can mislead you.
- Be flexible in mental frameworks because no one truly knows how long this cycle lasts.
De-Risk With Tax Timing
- Consider de-risking into year-end for tax efficiency and to manage downside.
- If you want to defer taxes, waiting until January can be a valid strategy.
Rotation Works Less This Cycle
- The old rotator/compound strategy worked when hits were broad; this cycle rewards conviction in fewer winners.
- Dispersion means you must pick a theme and stick with it to have a chance at large outsized returns.
