Van de Poppe mocks Bitcoin bottom, lists five anchor altcoins

Michaël van de Poppe, founder of MN Fund, mocked the market consensus that Bitcoin will bottom in October 2026 below $45,000 and posted five altcoins he calls the anchors of his portfolio. In a tweet he wrote: “It’s very clear that the markets are going to bottom in October ’26 at <$45,000 for #Bitcoin. That’s atleast what everybody expects to see happening in these markets. And just as everybody expects it, for sure we’ll see it happening, right?”

The remarks were posted in mid-June 2026 after Bitcoin retreated from recent highs and traders debated whether the cycle low had arrived. Market data showed Bitcoin trading around $65,683 at the time, up roughly 3% on the day after reports of a U.S.-Iran peace deal.

Van de Poppe named NEAR, TAO, EIGEN, W and ONDO as his core positions. He described NEAR as scalable infrastructure, TAO as focused on decentralized artificial intelligence, EIGEN as a restaking project, ONDO as a tokenized real-world-assets protocol and W as a thematic allocation. He wrote that these tokens had produced stronger returns than many peers in recent months and called them portfolio anchors while the market settles.

In further posts he argued that when a specific bottom becomes widely accepted, price action can surprise participants who rely on consensus, and he urged a multi-year perspective rather than short-term timing. One user on X captured that view, writing: “The market has taught me that no one really knows what is going to happen; a lot of pro traders-bulls who predicted almost everything regarding BTC-have been wrong time and again during this cycle. My goal now is to build in crypto and take a five-year view rather than short term.”

Van de Poppe later noted on X that Bitcoin had “broken back into the range” and suggested momentum was turning more favorable after key resistance levels were overcome. His posts drew renewed attention to the five named tokens, which had recorded gains relative to the broader market in recent weeks.
