Sharing a few quick thoughts on why I find $VINE intriguing.
Vine invented video-based social media.
The Vine trademark and company are owned by @X, which Elon Musk owns. @rus, a doxxed NYC-based entrepreneur with something to lose, is smarter than purposefully violating the Vine trademark.
@rus has recently posted test Vines to X, hinting at the X / Vine integration.
The timing of the TikTok shakeup and a potential new U.S.-based majority owner is also not coincidental. Elon likely wants to jumpstart Vine to compete with TikTok and its new owner (which could be Microsoft, the biggest backer of Elon's nemesis, OpenAI / Sam Altman).
Yesterday, @rus said Jake and Logan Paul “know what they’re doing” regarding posting a 6-second video to X.
Vine has an edge in the AI video war by having access to unique proprietary video data.
It would be fitting for Elon to pioneer the crypto capital markets and launch a token, especially right after President Trump launched a token.
Higher.

My gut tells me spot BTC and ETH ETFs are approved sooner than the market expects, which will catalyze the market materially. ~$50k / Bitcoin before end of this year and $100k+ first half 2024 are both possible
This combined with current macro backdrop + USD debt problem and the role of a non-state money moving forward, upcoming Bitcoin halving, and inevitable interest rate cuts, crypto will increase over a short and long term time frame, in my opinion. A perfect storm. We will see a $10 trillion total crypto market cap in next few years
This positive spot price action will lead to further increasing $BVIV $EVIV levels, increasing volatility of volatility, and persistent spot-volatility correlation. Overall bullish for @volmexfinance BVIV EVIV derivs trading activity

I expect the market cap of $ETH to exceed $1 trillion in the coming years due to three primary drivers.
- ETH locked in DeFi
- Staking / ETH 2.0
- EIP-1559
$10k / ETH is starting to feel like a conservative price target.

EIP-1559 will drastically improve the economics of $ETH by burning a portion of ETH in every transaction.
When implemented, Ethereum network usage will result in direct value accrual.

There will be a structural bid for $ETH via ETFs, just as there is for Nasdaq / $QQQ for the U.S. tech market, and $NVDA for AI
Investors will bid ETH ETFs, an index of the entire onchain economy (applications, stablecoins, DeFi, L2s, infra, etc), in an accessible wrapper with simplified custody, compliance, etc
I think ETH ETF inflows will surprise the market over both the short and long term. $ETH $EVIV

1/ @MakerDAO community - I've just submitted proposals to add WBTC-WETH and USDT-WETH @UniswapProtocol LP tokens as collateral assets for $DAI.
$2B+ worth of Uniswap LP tokens exist today. USDT and WBTC pools are respectively #1 and #2 on Uniswap, each with ~$500M of liquidity.
