> "MARK CUBAN isn’t always right. No one is.

He FOMO’d into Bitcoin and crypto when it should’ve been GOLD.

He and 
@JennyQTa7
 both ditched their 
$BTC

But is he right on CHIPS?

Mark is bullish on CHIPS. Jenny is bullish on AI.

CHIPS and AI are NOT the same."

Bitcoin ₿ +8.14% → +$103B
Ethereum  +9.66% → +$22B

And it’s NOT a coincidence.

Treasury doubled bond buybacks → 30Y yield fell to 5.187%.

> **Video Content:** The video shows a single, continuous looping animation of Team Rocket's James from Pokémon, wearing his signature white "R" uniform, sitting gleefully in a massive heap of gold coins as they rain down around him with sparkling effects. The character remains in the same celebratory pose throughout all four frames, with only the falling coins and sparkle animations moving, creating a static yet flashy scene. No on-screen text, tickers, or numbers appear in the video itself—the visuals serve purely as a thematic backdrop for the post's message about gold volatility and APR income from an upcoming epoch.  

> 
> "Epoch 1 paid 9.3% APR, realized.
Epoch 2 opens in 20 hours.

Income paid upfront, from gold volatility.
