ETH

My AI Slop Resonse: **Forum Markets — deep dive** FRMM at six bucks and change is a clown-shell wearing a squeeze costume, and I get why the tits are distracting — real short interest, tiny float, a book value above the share price, and borrow costs high enough to give a locate desk a nosebleed. But the guy running the shop and the plumbing underneath will bleed you out if you fall in love with it. Roll the tape on this company: it started life as a sleepy biotech called 180 Life Sciences, got body-snatched last summer into an eight-hundred-and-sixty-million-dollar Ethereum treasury vehicle called ETHZilla, bought sixty-five thousand ETH like a maniac, and then in February pivoted AGAIN into a "real-world-asset tokenization" pitch and renamed itself Forum Markets. Along the way, for reasons only God and the CFO know, it bought two Delta jet engines and started buying manufactured-home mortgages from a partner called Zippy. First quarter did two-point-eight-six million bucks in revenue against a seventy-six-million-dollar net loss. Yes, most of that loss is non-cash mark-to-market bullshit on their derivatives and their ETH pile, but "the business" is still a costume rack, not a business. The tokenization pitch that's got Reddit throbbing? Their showcase Aero Token — a real-world-asset tokenization backed by their jet engines — has raised, as of the last quarterly filing, exactly ten thousand fucking dollars. Not ten million. Ten thousand. Now the fun part: the reason the float is so tiny is that in April management vacuumed up almost five-point-eight million shares of buyback for about twenty-five million bucks of company cash. That's not a shareholder gift, that's a squeeze mousetrap — and they baited it days before re-arming a live at-the-market share-sale program with two big banks. Meaning the moment this thing rips, they can and WILL dump paper right back into the run. Even prettier: the CEO's stock-award package unlocks in tranches at five bucks, seven-fifty, and ten. He is literally, contractually paid to see the stock chase those levels. The pop that fills his tranches is the same pop that gives them the price to sell into. That's not alignment, that's a rigged coin flip against you. Speaking of the CEO — this guy has a career. His two prior public company gigs were oil-and-gas shells that both cratered into Chapter 11 bankruptcy court (2015 and 2016). His third one, a wildfire-aviation SPAC, is still trading but down about ninety percent from its merger valuation, and he bounced from that one last year too. This is not a career of buy-and-hold winners; this is a career of pivots, structured comp, and letting somebody else be holding the bag on the way out. On THIS gig he took almost one-point-nine million shares of grants and put ZERO of his own actual cash into the stock at these prices. The CFO and both independent directors did the exact same dance. Everyone at the top is voluntold to win on a squeeze; not one of them believed in it enough to write a personal check. Then there's Zippy, the manufactured-home mortgage partner. Zippy also holds a preferred stock class that gives them a ten-fifty-per-share cash true-up — meaning any time the stock is below ten-fifty on a true-up date, Forum has to write Zippy a real cash check for the difference. Guess what happened on July first? They amended the deal to split ONE true-up date into THREE separate ones, spread across the rest of the year, so the cash bleed happens in installments instead of one gasping vomit. That is the sound of a broken deal being papered over. And the same Zippy is Forum's ONE-AND-ONLY origination channel for a one-hundred-and-fifty-million-dollar mortgage-buying program. Counterparty AND lifeline. If Zippy sneezes, Forum craps blood. Reddit is squealing about eighty percent short interest and four-hundred percent borrow, which is directionally real. It is also missing every single thing I just told you. The most-upvoted post on the ticker claims Forum has "AI-related growth exposure" — there is no AI business here, that isn't spin, that's a lie. Nobody on the crowd side is talking about the make-whole, the re-armed at-the-market program, the grant-only insiders, or the seventy-six-million loss. It's a lone-poster pump chorus, not organic crowd conviction. So here's the verdict, one time, cleanly: the squeeze setup is REAL. If you know how to trade a squeeze — tight stop, no cuddling, no bag-holding, in and out like a Tinder date — there is a scalp trade sitting right there. The levels to watch are seven-fifty and ten because those are the CEO's own hurdle prints and he will happily paper into them. . The cash on the balance sheet isn't from operations, it's from that one enormous 2025 raise, and the moment the tape gives them a bid they will sell into it. This is a trade, not an investment, and if you can't tell the difference for THIS name, don't touch it. Watch the SEC filings page like it owes you money. Any new prospectus supplement drops and you exit before you finish reading the headline.

I've marked the last 3 halving dates on the chart so you can see it visually. The halving event is the amount of bitcoin you gain per block mined which makes each bitcoin attained twice as hard to get with their ultimately being a finite number of bitcoins. As I've previously said I'm not a crypto guy, I have traded crypto in the last two bull runs though, the later run I used a buy the dip momentum bot with some success on ETH. I do not own any crypto now and it was always just a casino for me. The average person will not adopt something that is so ridiculously hard to purchase/use and is so easy to be scammed for your whole net worth. Not only that but you can actually look up people's net worth if you know their wallet address. I do believe central banks may (may being a big word here) try to implement a digital currency, but it would be all their own systems and wouldn't used existing internet gamble tokens. You can actually do a quick Google search of retail Vs institutional bitcoin holders and it was over 90% institutions (around 5% of which is for ETF's), Small retail (under 10btc) were around 9% of float. They hunt each other as it's unregulated their algos manipulate the market to liquidate each other, it's not uncommon for massive liquidation events in the bullruns and someone always profited from them (i.e cough cough Jane Street ) . I think that is the main draw for these institutions really, liquidity and little regulation. https://preview.redd.it/b1t5btfhw9bh1.png?width=1008&format=png&auto=webp&s=6524e7569628d86f06a6e43c26edfea3341c61bf

I was debating full porting into MSTR LEAPS on thursday. I went in with about a third of my portfolio instead. The rest is in 2x ETH, SOL, and XRP ETF's. OPEN THE CASINO

GrossFleshSack

Saylors mismanagement is going to take Bitcoin down with his company and investors money. Bullish for ETH.

Bluebird-9641

Buy ETH if it drops below 1500

Beastmode3792

I hope crypto drills forever. I sold all my ETH for like $120 in 2020 out of panic during the covid crash. Sold all my BTC below 7k. Proceeded to watch from the sidelines as ETH 50x'd or so from the price I sold it at. I refuse to buy in ever again... could have made like 10mill.

Iscratchmybutt

I’m with you. I’m not in altcoins but I loaded up on ETH and call options on saas growth companies and put options for SMH

Abe2025

For shits and giggles, I put 1k into ETH, XRP and Dodgcoin a year ago. Im down to $150 lol

Legendary-Lemon

I own like 3k ETH. I’m glad I didn’t buy more of this crap

BMNR follows ETH price not narratives.

ETH at $2500 is a good deal

BloodMossHunter

i know it sucks. iright now it doesnt feel that real and thats ok, youre in barganing stage. You arent stupid either - this was a really bad week and it was a week where big boy fucks decided to tank the market even though it should have gone up after MU earnings because it started going up AH. but they keep taking their money cause they are the most greedy and vulture - and the biggest. you see we are fleas on this fucking dog to them, even though its the retail and hard working peoples money whos actually in the market - these fucks "manage" it but in reality they take more for themselves and try to syphon more off us. dont listen to people saying 'but its still up 50-100% after this drop" yeah fuck you, when ether was $4000 people were telling me NFTs were cheap too, fuck u assholes i realized they bought ETH at $200, not $4000. same now, look at these fucking charts that look like a pump and dump penny stock pre ramp up. i said it two weeks ago when i came back to trading - how the hell can u be sane to invest rn? well, made money first week, and then lost it all the next cause it looks like i was right. I could be off on timing and this goes up a bit more,, but just as far as real physics this markets valuations are complete horsheshit. So yeah its a hard time to invest now if u didnt already go up 2-5x over the last year. I know this chick who posts she goes up 20% per month.. this type of shit. anyway got my own saving wiped out this week too and i dont have a job. savings werent much but u know when u dont have much is when it sucks. good news is if i went to get a job id make way more in a couple of weeks. anyway ill tell u as someone whos been wiped out previously, life goes on, eventually u get over it. this isnt that big of an amt where u should do bankrupcy. I know it sucks. Think about working harder just for a bit of time to get to $1000 in savings asap so u can breathe easier. think of a thesis in trading and give it time, like just think over time what makes sense ,when ur relaxed. thats how i made money. as soon as i got greedy and especially 0dte is when i lost myself in the sauce and my money left. dont make more bad decisions on top of this, heal. cheers

porcelainfog

With the money it would bring in, you could probably have an entire firm of lawyers working 24/7 to get around regulation in each region. That being said I doubt they're going to allow gambling in gta6 like it's some sort of Romanian ETH rainbet type shit.

Yeah you are not alone. But gotta figure someday the ETH thing plays out.

DuckRaman

A 911. Instead of buying 50 bitcoins in March of 2019 I decided to buy a 911 and the then in early 2021 someone offered me a lot of ETH for it and decided nah, I want cash. So yeah that 911 cost me at least 10 million.

WS-6

ETH and CRO. I have always made money in the stock market. Should have never got into crypto. Fucking BS.

Strykur

Crypto is a roller coaster and only buy if you can ride it out without puking, that said as someone else mentioned if you are going to own crypto just stick to BTC or at worst ETH, the other stuff won't beat those 2

When BTC and ETH V?

QuantrixQuintrix

ETH not following BTC makes me wonder if Saylor is buying to save it. It always plunges further when he finishes

DarkHoodedOwl

Please don’t talk about ETH, I want to forget that my bag of it exists.

Crypto sub is so bad right now lol My god, how many people full ported ETH at $4,800? Let’s go HOOD! Back to $60!!!!!!!

pylotdd

if custody and liquidation terms matter to you then Figure Markets is worth a look. . . fixed 8.91% on BTC/ETH collateral offers 50% LTV and no rehypothecation or MPC custody so the platform never holds your keys. . . margin call at 80% LTV and takes 24 hours to respond. . . Nexo comparison comes down to one thing. . Figure locks you into 12 months so at maturity you repay or refinance at whatever rates are. . . if you're running conservative LTV anyway. . that fixed term might not be the dealbreaker it sounds like. Stack the liquidation buffer, custody setup and repayment flexibility across Figure, Nexo, and coinbase before you decide.

Thetatterer

I buy ETH and BTC every month. I keep accumulating.

Iscratchmybutt

BTC / ETH + saas are going to be the safe haven once KOSPI and semis blow up

slippy-tiddy

Nice job bro. BTC, ETH, and DOGE helped me with a downpayment on my house back in 2020-2021 after i held for 2 ish years. Time in the market beats Timing the market!!!!

Deeznutzsgotcha

Kevin said he wants to move away from the old outdated ways and move to new ways. The balance sheet is one of his targets that only means bonds. If bonds are the old reserves the only new one would be BTC. ETH will probably be big one day too. Their whole goal is to move from cash to digital currency and finance. That way they can track our spending down to the furthest number to the left of the decimal.

JoeyFreshagua

I actually don't know what you are referencing and I should look it up. I also don't own any crypto. I do attend finance conferences and have noticed questions about Etherium lately from big institutions. I know Tom Lee is very bullish on ETH because he thinks it will be the go to settlement system in finance one day. Basically, I have always been a huge crypto skeptic but can't dent I have heard institutional rumblings lately so I am a bit intrigued. I have only heard talk about ETH though, not BTC.

broke_person

$100,000 invested in $ETH 8.5 years ago is now worth $130,000. $100,000 invested in SpaceX 3 days ago is now worth $160,000. LMFAOOOOOO

BuzzardChris

when you say "really want to get into crypto" do you have a reason to believe it will start trending upwards in the near future? or you just looking to jump on the train? because BTC and ETH are both 30-40% down YTD.

You can find them in my profile. Extremely profitable. Examples are TSLA long, TSLA short, BTC long, BTC short, ETH long, TQQQ

RoaringDragonSword

Actually true. Anyone that understand an asset, and sees general public shitting on it simply because of price actions can easily be a buy signal long-term. Yes, ETH might never get adopted long-term, but the tech itself solves real issues related to our current financial systems.

imustbegthequestion

Japan may save us after all. Otherwise, I think it's Germany up next. So calls on ETH and Europoors and Euros I guess? 🤷🏿‍♂️

HoldCtrlW

So happy I bought SPCX Today. Easy money. I am holding till 2x. Sold all my ETH lol

GreenBullOne87

Looks like you’re doing a little better when it comes to portfolio size lol. I just started investing in November of 2024. My portfolio is up over 100% though. I’ve watch endless video on stock trading and how to spot breakouts. I do that with about half of my portfolio and then the rest is more long term holdings. I’ve bought a bunch of bitcoin below $70k as well. I think my average is $66k and some change. And 1 ETH at $1,655

Best decision was selling my ETH at 2k. Turned it into 5k in 2 days with the stock market lmfao

PeeOnDusk

Sold by 🌽 at a loss so I can lose more on space x, then I will rotate to sndk and ride that down to $1000, then I will rotate to ETH, which will probably be flipped by hyperliquid soon

Substantial_Hall3425

No no. No link between them I’m just speaking in terms of price action. ETH trying to play the double bottom. https://preview.redd.it/00n3wmt25a6h1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cd8b78e93d0f8cdd2632b988a60d931dc5a46fc6

Substantial_Hall3425

It’s sort of related to what’s going on in crypto right now I believe the time is approaching for BTC ofc that’s another conversation. I grabbed about 1200 shares on SQ honestly based on that belief ofc with everything else that’s going on also I opened a position on ETH for Shares & mega leaps for 2028 I’m down so much lmao but I’m pretty convinced something is coming.

BitDigital = $BTBT 1: $BTBT owns 71% of WhiteFiber ($WYFI). 2: WhiteFiber is building a 200MW AI data center in North Carolina and already has a 10 year contract worth 860 million dollars with Nscale 3: BTBT has 0 debt unlike their competition, no high interest debt 4: They hold over 155,000 ETH, which is worth over 300 million dollars. 5: They recently announced that they are using their ETH as collateral to gain access to cheap credit line making them able to now issue loans with 9.5% interest to fund their AI construction expansion. 6: Their recent quarter did not meet expectations, but that was a given considering The recent crypto pullback which also made their ETH stacking revanue smaller this quarter. And their WhiteFiber contracts did not really start paying until this upcoming quarter. 7: Next quarter is the first time the Nscale revenue actually shows up on their balance sheet.  So basically, you'd be buying the stock before their real contract revenue shows up. 8: Most of their loss was actually non-cash, from accounting rules. Forcing them to mark down the paper value of their Ethereum holdings on their balance sheet during the big crypto dip. Operationally, their revenue actually beat the expectations. 9: Right now, $BTBT market cap is around 530 million dollars. But their ETH alone is worth 330 million dollars alone. Plus their $WYFI shares are worth over 320 million dollars currently. If you just put those two alone together, it's bigger than their market cap. $BTBT seems heavily undervalued for it's future potential. I'm not saying it's the next Nvidia, but i'm seeing an opportunity here.

Upstairs_Whole_580

YES!!! What makes "ZEC" valuable? Because it's one you rolled your dice and said you'd randomly bet on! And YES! Having 50% owned by THOUSANDS(not 100) of large institutional investors is exponentially better than a Meme coin where... there are no fundamentels. I can look at AVGO,TSM, NVDA and SEE why they react the way they do...or have an idea. AVGO was trading at what it HOULD have been late in 2027. So I sold it going into the print. I also sold AMD. I can look at MSFT and see... that's a strong company. There's no momentum right now, but the balance sheet looks great. I look at ZEC or whatever and I see WHAT, 50% owned by 100 people in a classic pump and dump. It's not BTC, it's not ETH, it's just a "vibes" type of investment. Shit, I did that with QBTS a couple years ago! I just wasn't smart enough to leave my stop loss off, otherwise I'd have turned 125K at 77 cents into 5M+. Same with RGTI. 100K at 97 cents, went to 20 a share. I was stopped out long before. But you're just... it'd be better if you used a magic 8 ball... or spent all your money ON 8-balls. That's fun too!

brainrotbro

It used to be a valid criticism. But 1) Idk wtf ZEC is, and 2) fees on BTC and ETH these days are negligible.

dz4505

Don’t give him too much credit. He was telling everyone to buy BMNR/ETH shares over x and in conferences, basically repeating it over and over while it was dropping. Here is the kicker: while he was doing that, his firm Fundstrat published an article to their clients stating that ETH will drop to 1800..

FREDRS7

I mean BTC and ETH, the two largest caps both currently have low sustained inflation.

IamyourfantasyX

Guys tom fat cuck Lee said ETH would 7000 by now

bombersandtalls

Similar thing happened when he called an outperformance in the Russell 2k. He ended up being 2 years early. Wapner gave him shit for it the whole time. Old sex hair Tom might be early, but how early? I think eventually BTC and ETH punch new highs.

jer72981m

ETH up 8%. Tom wins again

PeeOnDusk

And an ETH rally. My toilet paper has had higher returns than ETH. Fuck you tom lee

petrrrrrd

This is the guy who called Bitcoin at $1,000 when that sounded insane and called the V-shaped COVID and after the tariffs almost perfectly before anyone else on the street had the nerve to. That’s not luck, that’s pattern recognition. The Ethereum call is the real one. He was pushing ETH as an institutional asset in his Fundstrat notes years before it was fashionable, and that thesis is now playing out. BlackRock, JPMorgan, Franklin Templeton, Fidelity all building on it. Joseph Chalom left one of the best seats at BlackRock to go all in on ETH. Etherealize raised $40M from Paradigm to build TradFi infrastructure on Ethereum, founded by Morgan Stanley and Deutsche Bank veterans. It might take a minute but my guess is he might be right on Eth in the end

I used to own BTC and ETH in my IRA (through a trust) but now I just own BITW (top 10 index) in my Roth IRA. its about 7% of my portfolio. I allocate about 15% of my portfolio to non stock/bond investments (including REITs, commodities, PE...although the PE is kind of involuntary in a round about way) keep your allocations small to avoid costly mistakes.

Tom Lee is dreaming if he thinks ETH is ever gonna get close to $250k, idek if thats possible because ETH doesnt have much of a cap on coins like BTC, moreover crypto kinda sucks ass so it wouldnt do that anyways.
