On December 30, Tommy Shaughnessy—Founding Partner of Delphi Ventures—shared key insights in a note: - **Trading Rules**: Never use leverage (see the October 10 event). Pay taxes quarterly to avoid pitfalls; skip this, and a crisis could wipe you out completely with no recovery. - **2026 Prediction**: Bitcoin (BTC) and Solana (SOL) will hit new all-time highs (ATHs). The crypto industry has made meaningful fundamental progress—Wall Street engagement, regulatory headway, and protocol development are all advancing. - **Current Market**: The market is in a one-time, disruptive digestion phase after the October 10–11 forced liquidation, which temporarily damaged market structure. Once the impact is fully absorbed, prices will snap back like a stretched rubber band, reflecting the industry’s true fundamental progress.
