🧠 What would CBB do with $500,000? (and suggestions for $50–100K)

CBB often shares some pretty interesting strategies, and I often refer to them. Assuming a $500,000 portfolio, CBB suggests the following (CBB’s strategy, not investment advice):

1️⃣ Go full-time in crypto, find somewhere with a low cost of living, and focus for one year.

2️⃣ Don’t spend time on $BTC , $ETH , SOL, HYPE, or even memecoins. Don’t use directional leverage.

3️⃣ Allocate $250,000 to a delta-neutral strategy between TradeXYZ and Metric: short TradeXYZ, buy Metric spot, and expect price differences or funding to offset costs, while also targeting airdrops from Hyperliquid S3, TradeXYZ, and Metric.

4️⃣ Allocate $50,000 to prediction markets on HIP-4.

5️⃣ Allocate $200,000 to deposit and loop sUSDe on Aave: deposit sUSDe, borrow USDC, swap it for sUSDe, then deposit it again, aiming for returns that cover living expenses. Plans to move to Acier when it launches on mainnet.

6️⃣ Build an AI app on Flop Network during the testnet phase, targeting the $FLOP airdrop. According to the image, the token has not been issued yet, and the TGE is expected in Q1 2027.

For $50–100K in capital, CBB says you don’t need the full $500K; you can try one or two ideas with any amount of capital, then adjust as needed.

A few projects in the post are still new:

• Metric: an oracle-priced AMM, unlike Uniswap. CTO Christos Gkolias is reportedly a former Uniswap employee. The image (DefiLlama, 9/11/2026) shows TVL of ~19.3 million USD and 30-day DEX volume of ~6.77 billion USD.

• Acier: a money market built by Marc Zeller and Ernesto Boado (former Aave CTO); both left Aave in early 2026 after governance conflicts. There’s drama around its fundraising on Echo.

• Flop Network: a Layer 1 where AI agents pay $FLOP to GPU miners to run verified inference, developed by Arthur Hayes (BitMEX co-founder).

Do you think the delta-neutral + stablecoin looping + airdrop farming approach suits the current market? 👇
