road to (hopefully) $30m | month 1 recap last cycle i bought $sol at $20 and sold at $250. retired off that trade. ngl, tough act to follow. back with $5m for round 2. first month end recap. plenty of room for me to embarrass myself from here. portfolio: $5.9m. up $580k (+10.8%) since i started this account. april was an active month. here's what happened. what i did: · finished deploying cash into $zec across two big buys, biggest at the start of april · sold $pump on apr 1 for a ~17% loss (~$33k). thesis didn't hold and i didn't want to nurse it · exited $near in two chunks. trimmed ~40% mid april, sold the rest on apr 28. apparently i needed two tries to make up my mind · net: out of pump and near, into zec and $hype why i cleaned house: i think this cycle is going to be more concentrated than people expect. less retail than 2021. more competition for gambling money. stocks (ai supply chain, quantum, foreign), sports betting, prediction markets. money probably flows to a few clear narrative winners, not a broad altseason. i'd rather hold two bags i fully believe in than spread thin across positions i'm second guessing. the new portfolio: deployed ~$3.1m into $zec (60%) and ~$2.1m into $hype (40%). that's the conviction split. as of today: zec at $3.57m (+$511k since i bought), hype at $2.17m (+$69k), cash $200k. 2 asset barbell. one sentence thesis on each: $hype: profitable casino, real revenue, buys back its token, founder is the anti scammer in an industry full of scammers. $zec: private money in a surveillance era, quantum resistant, ~$6b market cap, regulatory cloud cleared. $near needed three sentences and a chart and some squinting to explain the thesis. that's the difference and why i cut it. why zec gets the slight lean: lower market cap, no unlock overhang, no tradfi comp anchoring upside. hype has gravity from coinbase / robinhood multiples. zec's ceiling is whatever the market decides privacy is worth in a surveillance moment. that's where parabolic moves live. not a strong differential. just enough to earn 60/40 instead of 50/50. what i didn't do: didn't touch hype through the chop. didn't try to time the rotation from near to zec/hype. didn't sell near on a green day to feel better about it. could've stayed retired. but i love the game, and every dollar i compound now sets my kids up for whatever's next. goal: $5m → $30m. month one done. portfolio screenshot below. every move on the books, nothing hidden. solana story if you missed it: xitter.cf/ThePumponomics/status/… rd 2 game plan with original bid levels: xitter.cf/ThePumponomics/status/…
