Good afternoon,
By now most of you know I hate Friday posts. In the newsletter/email world Fridays suck and are maybe the worst day after Mondays.
That being said — with the absolute god tier pump we are seeing from crypto, this is going to be a pretty important post for those interested in making money and changing their life (that is not hyperbole, crypto has changed my life).
My advice is to read this before you sign off for the weekend, as we could see some insane developments happen in the next 72 hours. I questioned whether to even do this because I have charts to look at and shit to buy ASAP.
If you are new here — and many of you are based on subscriptions this week, welcome.
I am Arbitrage Andy — I founded the Arbitrage Andy Instagram meme page and brand, built an online following the last 7-8 years, and now I run Arb Letter and the Risk On Podcast. I started my career out in sales & trading at a small shop in NYC, then moved to data/tech sales, and eventually left full time to run my business at age 32.
I have been in crypto since 2017. OGs like
were instrumental in my research and early decisions to gain exposure to crypto AND build a business on the side.In the early days when I was just posting memes on office life and NYC culture, crypto was very fringe still. People thought it was a ponzi and it was definitely seen as shady or illegitimate by traditional finance crowds and institutions alike.
It didn’t stop me from trying to spread the word early on. The use case of Bitcoin and crypto was obvious to me, namely because I value sovereignty, freedom, and saw where finance was likely headed in the coming years.
The inevitable has arrived.
Finance and markets have all changed permanently.
Bitcoin and crypto are here to stay. There are still some doubters and naysayers, but for the most part what you will find is that their opposition to the technology is more frustration with not getting onboard sooner. Which is understandable.
Long time subscribers to Arb Letter know the drill, and chances are these subs have already made a ridiculous amount of money to date.
Today with the market action on the rise we’re covering:
Market/Institutional Updates
My portfolio and alt picks, what I think is going to god print soon (why data is telling us the biggest move up may still be coming)
Expectations for the coming weeks and months
My exchange vs. cold storage setup for security
Those who have followed me for some time know I tend to not mince words, my general crypto approach so far has a long track record of accuracy.
I am not an expert, but I aim to provide a distilled and simple approach to crypto, markets, life, etc. That’s rare these days in a world of non stop noise, BS, and emotion.
I mean it when I say I believe crypto is going to offer the single biggest economic opportunity of many of our lifetimes (and has already to some extent).
You have a front row seat to the entire revamping of the global financial system. Old paradigms are slowly losing out — blockchain is inevitable. Bitcoin is inevitable. Oracles are inevitable. Defi and lending is inevitable. The boomers got years of unhinged stock market growth. Some of us had shots at the rapid tech boom in the US or buying homes in the aftermath of 2008.
Younger people get crypto and Bitcoin. The tides are turning fast:
The US Director of Digital Assets said today "huge week ahead… time to make America the crypto capital of the world."
TradFi giants are launching crypto ETFs
Sovereign wealth funds and pension managers are allocating to BTC
Tokenized U.S. Treasuries are traded on public blockchains
I’ve said it before and I am going to yell it until I can’t anymore — do not squander the chance before you.
Time is running out.
This will end up redefining social classes in the US, determine who and who can’t buy homes, who can merely exist economically and who is going to make up the new upper class. You have a chance to own part of the future now and we are pretty much out of time to position properly before ultra adoption, potential rate cuts, and the hordes of normie retail investors that end up flooding this space in due time.
If you've been lurking, now's the moment to get off the sidelines — because what’s coming next will separate those who capitalized on this moment from those who missed it and blamed everything but themselves.
You do not want to find yourself in that camp, telling your future children or self that you didn’t take action before one of the largest wealth generation events in our lifetimes.
The latecomers are still asking basic questions. The prepared are already positioned.
When the floodgates of demand open, the next leg won't just be big—it'll be bloody legendary.
