Crypto & Stock Investing

Is the AI sell-off exposing a bubble—or revealing opportunities in the infrastructure powering the future?

Join your host, Armando Pantoja, for Strategy Sunday — I Spotted the Real AI Trade in the Crash, My 6 Stock Watchlist as he explains why he’s watching the companies supplying the chips, memory, and electricity behind artificial intelligence.

Armando revisits his Power Triad: compute, data, and energy, breaking down his six-stock watchlist: Nvidia, Microsoft, Taiwan Semiconductor, Micron, GE Vernova, and Oklo. He shares how each fits into his investment thesis, why energy remains a major focus, and why strong demand alone isn’t enough—valuation, execution, and the time needed to build infrastructure still matter.

He also explores the emotional side of investing, sharing how he created barriers to his own panic selling during earlier crypto downturns. Finally, he discusses crypto custody tradeoffs and the renewed debate surrounding historical Ripple emails, separating past discussions from claims about XRP’s price today.

In this episode:

• The AI sell-off: Why Armando sees an infrastructure opportunity amid market fear.
• The six-stock watchlist: NVDA, MSFT, TSM, MU, GEV, and OKLO—and the investment case he’s watching for each.
• The Power Triad: How compute, data, and energy connect—and where shortages could create opportunities.
• The long-term case for Oklo: Nuclear power, development timelines, and the difference between hype and execution.
• Managing investment emotions: Personal lessons on patience and resisting panic selling.
• Protecting your crypto: The tradeoffs between exchange access and cold storage.
• Ripple and XRP: What historical emails do—and don’t—establish about current price claims.
• The week ahead: Market reactions and economic developments on Armando’s radar.

The next wave of wealth may depend on who supplies what the future can’t operate without.

In this episode of Strategy Sunday, host Armando Pantoja explores XRP, Bitcoin, artificial intelligence, and the infrastructure behind the next technology boom through one central question: How do you separate a lasting investment opportunity from a stock running on hype?

Armando begins with XRP and Bitcoin, explaining their different investment cases and why supply, demand, and adoption matter more than comparing their prices. He shares his outlook on the emerging machine economy, where AI agents and robots could transact with one another, and explores why he believes XRP could play a role. He also explains what he wants to see before adding to his position, including more evidence of payment adoption and a confirmed market uptrend.

He then returns to his Power Triad: compute, data, and energy. Armando breaks down how growth in one area can put pressure on the other two, creating potential opportunities across semiconductors, memory, and electricity generation. He discusses AMD, Nvidia, Micron, and his long-term conviction in nuclear power while examining why customer demand must translate into reliable delivery and profitable execution.

Finally, Armando challenges the idea that AI-generated stock picks are enough to build an investment strategy. He explains why timing, valuation, independent judgment, and understanding risk still matter, and shares his perspective on how ownership of AI infrastructure could shape generational wealth.

In this episode:

• XRP vs. Bitcoin: different roles, different investment cases
• Why token supply matters when comparing crypto prices
• AI agents, robotics, and the potential for machine-to-machine payments
• What Armando wants to see before buying more XRP
• Why AI-generated stock lists are only a starting point
• The Power Triad: compute, data, and energy
• How AI adoption could drive demand for chips, memory, and electricity
• AMD, Nvidia, Micron, and the challenge of delivering AI infrastructure
• Why nuclear power remains part of Armando’s long-term thesis
• Asymmetric investing and the risks of backing emerging companies

Every technological boom creates something it can’t operate without.

In this episode of Strategy Sunday, host Armando Pantoja connects XRP, artificial intelligence, energy, and cybersecurity through one central question: Who gets paid to solve the constraints holding back the next wave of innovation?

Armando begins with XRP, examining institutional fund flows and the price levels he wants to see before adding to his position. He explains why sustained momentum, regulatory clarity, and the infrastructure supporting institutional adoption are central to his outlook for the next crypto cycle.
