The big move after the Election
2. Surviving bear markets requires conviction. If market turns negative, you will sell your AltCoin. And this can happen anytime. Develop diamond hands with Bitcoin. You will need them.
3. Altcoins become obsolete with time. Remember AOL? Myspace? You don't want to fight technological progress. With Bitcoin you don't have to. It was perfect money when it came out, and its perfect today.
4. Studying Altcoins is a full time job. There are hundreds of new Altcoins being minted every day. You don't have time to study all of them. And you don't need to. Save yourself the effort and stick Bitcoin Only.
5. Most Altcoins are outright scams. Remember "Safe Moon Coin" ? "Bitconnect"? "Celsius token"?
6. The SEC could declare your altcoin a security. This could cause it to trade lower, or stop trading altogether. Do you want to take that risk?
7. Altcoins are often ponzis. They sound great initially, but they require new participants in order to function. Once the new blood dries up, the ponzi collapses.
8. Altcoins are generally deliberately over-complicated. There are tokens for the team, complex staking schemes, airdrops, rewards for doing XYZ. Simplify your life with Bitcoin.
9. 99% of Altcoins have no cap. The number of tokens can go up forever. Unlike Bitcoin. Stop the inflationary madness.
10. Altcoins are embarassing. You are grown man or woman. Do you really have nothing better to do with your life than promote "smoking chicken coin"?

A lot has been written over the last 12 hours about IBIT options . Let me add my 10 cents.
1. These will likely be VERY popular
The one thing we know about from BitMex, FTX and then Binance, is that people love leverage. The reason Arthur Hayes is worth so much is not his crypto-clairvoyance, as is his invention of the Bitcoin "Perpetual", which allowed "degens" to make speculative leveraged bets.
Options on IBIT are better, for the most part, than Perps. They can't be manipulated by BitMex, for example, to wick up or down and cause artificial "liquidations" because, in Hayes words, "Daddy needs a new Ferrari". They are regulated, and there is a separation between the casino and the option vendor -- unlike BitMex which played both roles.
FTX grew overnight to fill BitMex's shoes. It became much, much bigger. Then Binance copied and pasted, and Binance BTC (and later ETH etc..) perps exploded there.
Without even getting into BTC Futures, let's just stop here and hold on to this idea that these options are likely to be massively popular.
2. Long IBIT call options allow people to capture the upside of Bitcoin with limited downside.
I know we have been in a sideways market for 6 months, but at some point we will break out. The power law suggests Bitcoin will do a 6-8x or more in the next 4 years (one standard deviation up from 200K trendline). You can play this by allocating a few percentage points of your overall capital into longer dated calls.
This is a very efficient way to add some "alpha" to your portfolio without embracing full Bitcoin maximalism. I think for more traditional players, it will be an attractive play.
3. Selling IBIT call options will be a fantastic way to generate yield.
For many all-in-maxis, the idea of "living off yield" is attractive. By moving part of their stack to IBIT, they can now do this. Just sell out of the money call options, harvest the premium, and in the case of a massive rally, accept the fact they "chose rich".
New buyers will also love this "yield" option. People like Raoul Pal have been seduced by ETH's staking yield. This is better. Both sides of the call options market will find ready takers.
4. Put buying will be attractive as we scale new heights.
Bitcoin will eventually go up, a lot. And instead of liquidating at the end of a perceived "cycle", people may decide to get "protection" by buying puts. Others, suffering FOMO, may use this put selling for targeted buying.
Overall, if i could summarize, I think these options are going to become quickly indispensable. They will supplant, to some extent perps. Unlike derebit and other exchanges, they will be fully open to US citizens.
It's going to be wild.
If Kamala wins (45%), i still think we get rates at 2.80% by year end (2025), relief from the election uncertainty and 180K by Dec 2025. So 3x.
Either way, the next 12 months should be pretty awesome.
The rest is conversation.
Along the way, at $100, $1000, $10,000 and today at $56,000 smart people think they can't buy because they are too late.
Both of the authors passed recently, but this book can teach you a lot about crypto-currencies.
1. The first person to capture a category keeps it forever. Ketchup - Heinz, Rental Cars - Hertz, Digital Sound Money -- Bitcoin.
2. The second person is forgotten. LiteCoin.
3. In order to compete, you must create a new category: Smart contracts -- Ethereum.
4. Trying to reposition directly against the leader fails: Avis -- Better than Hertz, Ethereum -- Ultra Sound Money.
5. If you are #2, accept it. "Avis -- We're Number 2, But We Try Harder". Or find a clear differentiator "Most Russian Vodkas are made in New Jersey. Stolychnia is different. It's made in St Petersburg, Russia. Dogecoin -- We're literally a Joke.
6. Number One gets 60% of the Market. Number two gets at most 30%. Number three 10%. Coke, Pepsi, RC Cola. BTC, ETH, SOL. There is no real room beyond three.

Will hyperbitcoinization be simple like the transition of horses to cars?
Or will it be like Weimar Germany from 1922 to 1924 that led to WW2. ?

They are hugely incentivized not to take too many risks.
At most we can expect a 5% take into this new asset class...
For now...
