Deep Tide Guide: This is a snapshot of stock positioning within the cryptocurrency circle — the author privately messaged 120 key opinion leaders (KOLs), and 55 provided detailed holdings, revealing that the rotation from cryptocurrency to stocks is accelerating, with AI, metals, and energy being consensus overweight themes, and humanoid robots transitioning from "watch list" to actual positions.

I conducted a private survey among all the KOLs I know over the past few weeks, covering all the group chats I am part of.

Contacted about 120 people, with 55 providing detailed responses.

The survey period was from mid-January to early February — some positions may be outdated, please refer to it at your discretion.

Here are the survey results 👇

🎯 Key Core Holdings

• Humanoid robots are the biggest opportunity for the next decade — comparable to early investments in Bitcoin
• Memory shortage + AI supercycle + geopolitical supply chain → the most diversified multi-track themes within this group
• Purely betting on memory shortages, 2-year confidence (from stock hedge funds)
• INTC + AMZN, tapping into the U.S. government/policy perspective
• Big tech → the core macro rotation bet on metals
• Sandisk as a long-term stock holding

Overall Perspective

Among the 55 surveyed participants actively engaged in the stock market:

• 50 are currently trading stocks
• 5 are stock newbies (just getting started)
• Others said they are "waiting" or still observing

High Conviction Positions (with detailed analysis)

Another respondent: deeply positioned in memory/semiconductors (RAM shortages + AI demand), space/defense (taking advantage of SpaceX IPO hype), defense/drones/laser ("Golden Shield" missile defense narrative), critical minerals/rare earths (de-China strategy for the U.S. supply chain), uranium/nuclear energy (policies + AI power demand tailwind).

This survey is far from scientifically rigorous — it is merely a snapshot of my private conversations with people I know. However, I believe it reflects the current directions that smart traders/investors are rotating toward.
