Front Run The Week 6/9/25
Are the Gemini Twins Hazing Me?
It feels like I got hazed by the Winklevoss twins.
Not literally—but it felt like I was back at Harvard with the original crypto bros, invited to a costume party where I was the only one in costume.
Except this time, the invite came by email—from Gemini.
They want me to spend money on credit...
So they can reward me in Bitcoin...
And maybe, just maybe, I could win two Cybertrucks.
Am I being hazed?
Or is this the most elaborate liquidity trap in Bitcoin history?
Let’s be honest: Bitcoin doesn’t need me right now.
It’s up 15,000,000% since launch.
And yet, the biggest names in the space are still pitching Bitcoin like it’s 2013:
The Gemini Twins
Michael Saylor
Jack Dorsey
You know it’s a TED Talk for Bitcoin when the cost of tuition is already baked in. Not long ago, TradFi was calling it “rat poison.” Now? The same folks want your loyalty, your data, and your spending habits—all wrapped in a rewards card.
Let’s be clear: That Bitcoin credit card offering Cybertruck prizes?
It’s not a tool—it’s a flex.
And those Cybertrucks?
The same ones the twins drove to the Bitcoin Conference in Vegas last week, mining Bitcoin they don’t need, on batteries that’ll die in the desert like a mobster who skimmed too often from the casino?
Yeah, that’s not about community. It’s frat-house marketing in the name of “sound money.”
They even proclaimed:
“Orange is the new gold.”
Cute. But orange is still orange, and gold is still gold.
You know what’s scarce now?
High-grade protein.
It’s been stripped from your food while grocery prices rise like pump.fun coins. That’s why I said protein is greater than gold. Because without it, you’re weak—and TradFi knows it.
Meanwhile, here’s the credit card math:
You spend USD at the top of a rate cycle
You earn sats (a fraction of a fraction)
You hope Bitcoin outpaces your APR
Even if BTC moons—what did you gain?
You bought Bitcoin on debt. They got your loyalty, your transaction history, and your attention.
Like I said—feels like I got hazed.
But if you’re drunk on liquidity and there’s a party happening, it doesn’t always suck.
Maybe the joke wasn’t on me… maybe it was on some other guy?
Altseason Doesn’t Come with a Cybertruck
You don’t need a twin-backed truck to move forward.
You need to front-run the next rotation.
That doesn’t start with Bitcoin at $100K. It starts with liquidity.
And right now?
Stablecoins are building. Vaults are filling. Smart money isn’t buying toys—it’s buying time.
I’ve been covering this since December—when Stablecoins and TVL diverged at $136B.
That gap is closing.
When liquidity returns and TVL lifts with it?
That’s your ignition point.
If the Cybertruck pulls up to the intersection of Stables Street and Locked Lane, it’ll be a race.
My 911 vs. those twin punks.
If you want a Bitcoin credit card, go for it.
But don’t confuse gimmicks for strategy.
Don’t believe those trucks are giveaways out of kindness. You’re being played.
The real rewards this cycle won’t come from credit card points.
They’ll come from getting early to the next chapter—
not being sentimental about the last one.
Truth is, I don’t love their exchange...
But I do like the twins—despite the hazing.
They’re billionaires. I’m not. It’s all good.
They get to stand on stages and dramatize things retail already knows.
That’s fine.
Let them run TradFi games with Web3 costumes.
Me? I’d rather drive a Lucid Gravity, own the stock that’s backed by the Saudi Public Fund, and swipe a Moonwell Visa card that spends my USDC after the Mamo bot compounds it.
Show me a stage I can stand on and proclaim:
“Own the economy or get punked!”
WHAT’S NEXT
I’m tracking:
New DeFi vaults
Stablecoin flows
Altcoins getting cross-listed on Kraken and Coinbase
That’s where the next rotation starts.
Paid subscribers will get my latest under-the-radar project—one with real listing potential. Like this one here I mentioned before it ran up the flagpole:
Until then…
I guess the twins will keep twinning, mining Bitcoin they don’t need.
Who do they think they are, anyway… MARA Holdings?
Let their Cybertrucks die in the desert. Two aren’t even worth the price of one, IMO.
Don’t tap the brakes.
Learn all you can.
And…
Front Run this BS—no, that isn’t a ticker symbol in the Coin50.
At least, not yet.

By the way…
Here’s my Monarch code in case you’re looking to get your financial house in order. I’ve used Monarch for awhile now and it has really helped organize things. They even have integration for Coinbase, Kraken and Investor360. I’m not sponsored by them. I’m simply a fan of their financial app. That said, the offer is pretty solid. 50% off your first year.
