The trader crypto Twitter calls the “Memecoin King” — early on Solana near $1.50, early on WIF and BONK. Less well known: he posts two-sided Bitcoin plans with the invalidation level written down before the move. That is what makes him chartable, and it is where his June 2026 record splits in half.
In short. Ansem (@blknoiz06, roughly 1.37 million followers) is a Georgia Tech computer-science graduate turned full-time trader, named to CoinDesk's Most Influential 2024 top ten as a memecoin influencer. He is best known for a Solana position taken near $1.50 and held through the FTX collapse, and for early WIF and BONK calls. His public method is narrative flow plus market structure: which story is absorbing attention, which asset is strong relative to Bitcoin, and which weekly level decides the next leg. The record below is the honest version — a June 2026 bearish Bitcoin thesis that landed almost exactly, a mid-June bullish pivot that did not, and a July Solana target that is up 35% and still short of the number.
Zion Thomas — the name reported for Ansem across the crypto press, though he does not headline it himself — found Bitcoin in an emerging-technology course at Georgia Tech, graduated in 2017, and worked as a software engineer at Capital One while trading on the side before going full time around 2021. The @blknoiz06 account began as public trade journaling and is now one of the largest trading accounts on X at roughly 1.37 million followers. CoinDesk put him in its Most Influential 2024 top ten and titled his profile “Ansem: The Memecoin King”.
The résumé is not only a timeline: he has been Head of Research at TCG Crypto (The Chernin Group's crypto arm), co-founded Bullpen, a copy-trading app for Polymarket, and since April 2026 co-hosts Market Bubble, a prediction-markets show presented by Polymarket. He is also an amateur boxer who has fought on crypto cards.
The record is not clean and the page does not pretend otherwise. In October 2024 the on-chain investigator ZachXBT publicly accused him of promoting low-cap Solana memecoins in a way that left followers holding losses; Ansem rejected the characterisation, and no formal findings followed — so it is an accusation, not a proven one. He has separately said that backing certain celebrity-linked memecoins was a mistake driven by misaligned incentives. And in June 2026 an anonymous deployer launched a token called $ANSEM and pushed roughly 60% of the supply into his wallet; he embraced it, promoted it and airdropped about $7M of it, and the position then swung by nine figures on paper as the price collapsed. He did not create it — but he did amplify it while holding most of it, which is exactly the conflict readers should price in.

Narrative first, structure second. Ansem's core question is where attention is going — which ecosystem, which story, which asset is in “price discovery” while everything else chops — and only then which weekly level confirms it. He reads assets against each other rather than only against the dollar (the June “never seen $BTC trade this weak while other crypto assets are in price discovery” post is the whole method in one line), and he trades alts long while treating Bitcoin as the structural variable that decides the timing. What raises the quality of his posts above most of Crypto Twitter is that he writes the invalidation down in advance: the 17 June Bitcoin post named the bull path, the bear path, the exact level that separated them (63.8k) and the target on each side. The weakness is the flip side of narrative trading — he is fastest to the story and, when he flips with it, the flip can be premature, as it was in mid-June.
Structurally bullish on Solana and alts, tactically flexible on Bitcoin — in June 2026 he was openly bearish BTC while long the rest of the market, then tried to flip bullish two weeks early.
Five dated posts from his own X account inside the CoinGecko price window, charted against what price actually did next. One caveat up front, because it changes how the score should be read: the first three cards are one thesis stated three ways inside 33 hours (1–2 June) — the levels, the timing, and the one-month bet — so they score three greens off a single correct idea rather than three independent calls. The honest summary is: one big bearish Bitcoin call that landed, one bullish pivot two weeks later that did not, and one Solana target still open. Every quote was pulled twice from X and is reproduced verbatim in the corpus behind each card.
“65k & then 60k if bitcoin cant get back above ~73k imo”
A conditional short call with the trigger stated. BTC closed $73,599 that day and never closed back above 73k again until 21 August — eleven weeks later. Both downside levels printed on schedule: 65k broke on 4 June ($64,047), 60k broke on 26 June ($59,727), and the low is $58,566 on 1 July (−20.4%). BTC has since recovered to $77,623 (+5.5%), which is why the card is scored on the move he called, not on where price sits today.

The same evening, the thesis with a clock on it. He asked for new lows on the majors after roughly four to six weeks. BTC printed $58,566 on 1 July — 30 days later, at the early edge of his window, and genuinely a new low: the deepest close before this post was $62,778 back on 6 February. From $73,599 that is −20.4%. The alt-season half is the looser leg — Solana did outperform from July, but not in the four-to-six week window he framed.
𝕏 Post“alt season while bitcoin chops itself to death” — @blknoiz06, 1 Jun 2026↗ x.com“predicting btc will be lower ~1 month from now & hype will be higher ~1 month from now”
The rarest thing an influencer does: a falsifiable bet with the price and the date written into the post. BTC was $71,320 on our series that day. One month later, on 2 July, it closed $59,968 — −15.9%, and the interim low was $58,566 (−17.9%). Correct. We score only the Bitcoin half; the HYPE leg of the same post is not in the four assets we chart, so it is not counted either way. BTC is now $77,623 (+8.8%).
𝕏 Post“predicting btc will be lower ~1 month from now” — @blknoiz06, 2 Jun 2026↗ x.com“if it does close above likely retests 72k (im in this camp)”
Sixteen days after the bearish thesis he named the bullish branch as his own. BTC was $65,619, retesting the 65–66k weekly resistance. It never closed above: price rolled over and fell 10.7% to $58,566 by 1 July, and 72k did not print until 21 August, nine weeks late. Credit where it is due — the invalidation he wrote in the same post resolved perfectly: “if wrong & we see weakness below 63.8k … think we retest 60k”, and BTC lost 63.8k on 19 June ($62,897) and retested 60k on 25–26 June. He mapped the bear case correctly and then stood in the other camp. BTC is now $77,623 (+18.3%), so the level was eventually right — the timing was not.
𝕏 Post“likely retests 72k (im in this camp)” — @blknoiz06, 17 Jun 2026↗ x.com“see you at $150 $SOL”
Posted with a chart and, in the coverage of it, the reasoning: SOL would “reclaim topside of range & hit $150 over the next couple months as it starts its uptrend again for first time in over a year”. Direction right, number not there yet. SOL was $76.72; it dipped only 6.3% to $71.89 on 2 August and is now $104 (+35.2%) — the strongest of the four majors we chart over that stretch. But $150 is another 45% away and “the next couple months” runs to roughly mid-September, so this stays open, not won.

Ansem is not selling signals, and there is no paid group to point at. The conflicts here are of a different kind and they are large: he co-owns a trading product, he has held venture positions in the sector he posts about, and in June 2026 he became the biggest holder of a memecoin named after him. None of that is hidden — all of it should be priced in when reading a bullish post.
He co-founded Bullpen, a copy-trading app for Polymarket, and his X profile links to it. Since April 2026 he co-hosts Market Bubble, a prediction-markets show presented by Polymarket and produced with HardScope. Attention on prediction markets and on-chain trading is directly attention on his own products.
Reported as Head of Research at TCG Crypto, the crypto arm of The Chernin Group, with venture exposure named in press coverage to projects including Monad, Solayer and Ethena. Private positions in the ecosystems he publicly favours are the sharpest incentive on this page.
In June 2026 an anonymous deployer spent about $6,300 to launch a token called $ANSEM and sent roughly 604 million of the 1 billion supply — around 60% — to his wallet. He did not create it. He did promote it, airdrop roughly $7M of it to over 700 wallets, and state a goal of “1M holders”; researchers flagged the concentration and the absence of any revenue behind it, and the paper value of his stake then fell by a nine-figure sum. A textbook case for reading his alt posts with the holdings in view.

There is no YouTube library to link here. His long-form output is Market Bubble, the prediction-markets show he co-hosts with Banks, which streams live on Twitch and is distributed as a podcast rather than as a channel of dated videos we can cite with timestamps. Everything charted above is therefore an X post — captured verbatim, twice, with the source linked on each card and reproduced in full in the verified corpus.
Ansem sits at the centre of the Solana/alt-narrative cluster on X rather than in the macro-podcast circuit. What follows is the cohort he belongs to analytically — people whose dated calls are useful for triangulating his — not a claim that they work together. Dossier links connect them as the database grows.
The other half of the memecoin-supercycle argument: Murad supplies the cult-community thesis, Ansem the trading and structure side of the same market. A useful cross-check on how much of an alt move is narrative versus flow.
The opposite cadence on the same charts — three Bitcoin trades in half a year against Ansem's near-daily posting. When both name a level, the level is worth watching.
The sceptic's voice in the same circle, and the most reliable check on narrative trading when a story runs ahead of the flows behind it.
On-chain analytics as a cross-check on the which-asset-is-really-strong read that drives most of Ansem's positioning.
A full-time crypto trader who posts as @blknoiz06 to roughly 1.37 million followers on X, widely reported as Zion Thomas. He studied computer science at Georgia Tech, graduated in 2017 and worked as a software engineer at Capital One before trading full time from around 2021. CoinDesk named him to its Most Influential 2024 top ten as a memecoin influencer. He co-founded the Polymarket copy-trading app Bullpen and co-hosts the Market Bubble podcast.
Buying Solana near $1.50 and holding it through the FTX collapse, and early positions in the Solana memecoins Dogwifhat (WIF) and Bonk (BONK) — the calls that earned him CoinDesk's “Memecoin King” tag. In 2026 he is also known for $ANSEM, a token he did not create but which an anonymous deployer seeded into his wallet with about 60% of the supply.
He is a commentator and a trader, not a licensed adviser, and he has real conflicts — a trading product he co-owns, venture stakes, and a large memecoin position. Of the five dated in-window calls charted here, three played out (a June Bitcoin bear thesis stated three ways), one is still open (+35% on Solana, short of his $150 target), and one went against him — his 17 June flip to the bullish camp was followed by Bitcoin falling 10.7%. He also faced unproven 2024 accusations from ZachXBT over low-cap memecoin promotion. Treat his posts as a documented, dated opinion — never trade them blindly.
Narrative and relative strength first, structure second: he tracks where attention and flows are concentrating, compares assets against each other rather than only against the dollar, and uses weekly pivots to time entries. His distinguishing habit is publishing the invalidation in advance — naming the level that would prove him wrong and the target on each side of it — which is what makes his posts scoreable at all.
Ansem writes the level that would prove him wrong before the trade, then trades the narrative anyway. How close is your instinct — measure it for real with a Trader Passport.
