Nic sat down with Ram Ahluwalia, founder and CEO of Lumida Wealth, to break down the forces driving the current crypto bear market, the unwinding of animal spirits across high beta assets, and why the era of KOL-driven investing is ending. Ram explains the deleveraging events hitting Bitcoin and altcoins, why he expects durable lows around fall 2026, and what smart money is doing instead.
The conversation goes beyond crypto into the AI capex trade (TSMC vs NVIDIA), why international value stocks and banks are crushing the S&P, the case for natural gas and midstream energy, the gold and silver setup, and how the incoming Fed Chair Kevin Warsh could reshape monetary policy. This is a masterclass in macro positioning for an uncertain market.
