(more…)Recalling my I’m Rick James, $BCH post from two months ago, it is up nearly 200% since my post. It’s no DOGE, I know, but hey, it wasn’t a bad idea! Yet another example of how permabear Tim has the best ideas for LONG positions.

One of the most bizarre things about Slope is that its best ideas are long ones (OK, that’s not so weird, since everything has gone up non-stop the past dozen years). All the same, if you glance at this post from two years ago, I was bullish on both Bitcoin and Ethereum (particularly the latter). My target for Bitcoin was a bit conservative at $6,000 (since, umm, it went up TEN TIMES MORE than that!) but I think we can at least agree my view of Ethereum being a good price at $160 wasn’t too bad, since it’s up about 18-fold from there:
