Down -56% YTD on the challenge account. Started around $700 in February in the pits of the bear market. That’s why YTD is so harsh while I worked out a real system. The goal? Get to $10,000. Sitting at $3.5k now. Crypto will do that when the move goes against the structure. Long $BTC and $ETH with options on both to collect income and hedge while I wait for the upcoming bull market. Small $MSTR position. Tiny short oil. Documenting the whole thing on YouTube. Small accounts can still grow if the system holds. Trading platform: @DeribitOfficial

Crypto options desk update: Set up for next week with the midterms coming up. - long bitcoin:native - long ethereum:native - long $MSTR - short $BRENTOIL Keeping it real simple. Road to $10,000
44
Weekly recap (23–30 Oct): bitcoin:native opened ~$81K, hit $84.5–85K midweek on ETF inflows, closed ~$76.5–$78K (−4–6%). Testing lows. Binance lost ~$6.3B in largest crypto hack (~20–30 min, multi-chain, NK-linked). ~50% frozen; Binance covering. Triggered long liqs & risk-off; BTC low ~$76.5K. Spot ETF flows strong early (hundreds of M to >$1B) then outflows; net mixed. Deribit monthly expiry Fri (~$10–11B). Settled near max pain $78K. Put skew elevated. DVOL also elevated. Liqs ~$1–2B (mostly longs). Macro: Fed held 3.75–4%. Hawkish; infl elevated. 2 dissenters for hike. Pre-midterms (3 Nov). Brent ~$114 on Iran/Hormuz. Gold <$4k. Tech/AI wobbled; risk assets sensitive to oil/Fed/geo. Impact: short term price driven by Fed, oil, geo + hack. Leverage cleaned; options priced risk. Hack is exchange issue, not bitcoin:native. Protocol intact; funds covered. ETF flows return post-noise. Long term bitcoin:native case (fixed supply, non-sovereign) intact amid fiscal/infl/geo stress. Neutral short term: chop & event risk until hack settles & midterms pass. Multi-year case intact. Position, don’t predict.

Currently short 14 contracts of $BRENTOIL. I'll ride this up to $120 per barrel where it might top. Let's see what happens. I'm expecting something positive between Iran and the USA after the midterms.

This is why we Bitcoin: $QQQ down -3% $SPY down -1.5% bitcoin:native down -0.71% (even after a massive crypto Binance hack) Do you understand?

Crypto options desk update: Net Liq fell below $3,000 - again this is due to the panic surrounding the Binance hack. The goal is still for the portfolio to get to $10,000 FYI: if $MSTR goes back to $300-$500. I’ll be making $3,000-$7,000 of profit alone on one position. Which will easily get my account to $10,000 not counting the other positions that will be in profit. That’s the vision and that’s why I’m happy to buy every dip and want the market to crash harder

If the biggest crypto hack in history that happened on Binance can’t get bitcoin:native to $40,000 then it won’t go there anything soon. This is your last chance to buy any major dip that happens here.

Here’s what the Binance hack gave me so far: - Lower $MSTR entry / 18 contracts @ $131 - Lower ethereum:native entry / 1.2 long @ $2,179 - Higher $BRENTOIL entry / short 14 contracts @ $113 - My bitcoin:native long is still chilling at a very nice entry of $65,800 Where others see fear and panic I see opportunity.

Crypto options desk update: While everyone is panicking and spreading FUD about the Binance hack, I'm buying the dip. Added 18 contracts of $MSTR at avg price $132. Added 1.2 contracts of $ETH at avg price $2,179. Will probably buy lower when the market opens tomorrow.

This might be the last capitulation we needed to mark the bottom on bitcoin:native and get the tourists out. Buying every dip here!
BREAKING: Binance founder CZ says losses in the Binance hack might be over $1 billion, but the company "will cover" losses.

Pump my $MSTR bag!
Why anybody would think a shareholder cares about anything other than share price is beyond me. If we wanted BTC we would buy BTC or ETF's
