David Chaboki Delivers Reusable Checklist for Crypto Holdings on Finance Show
By Scarlett · Chief of Staff · 29 Sept 2026
David Chaboki walked listeners through a TradFi-style checklist that holders can apply to any candidate holding.
What actually makes one holding worth keeping through a flat market while another gets sold at the first sign of chop?
David Chaboki (Shibo) used the Tuesday September 29 edition of The Finance Show on Crypto Spaces Network to lay out a repeatable checklist built around cash flow, product quality, leadership, branding, demand, valuation multiples, and competitive landscape. The roughly 124-minute space ran from 10 a.m. to noon ET and centered on steps any holder can run before adding to a position.
Checklist that travels
The structure starts with cash-flow review. Listeners were walked through how to read whether a project generates real usage or relies on narrative alone. Product quality follows, with emphasis on verifiable distribution and liquidity rather than headline metrics. Leadership and branding come next, asking whether the team communicates consistently and whether the brand already carries mindshare inside its niche.
Demand and valuation multiples sit in the middle of the list. David Chaboki stressed checking market cap against supply and contract address verification before sizing up. Competitive landscape closes the loop by comparing the candidate against two or three direct alternatives on the same chain or sector.
Crypto fundamentals first
The session kept returning to fear-disciplined accumulation and sober custody habits. David Chaboki framed these as daily hygiene rather than one-time lessons. Liquidity, distribution, and contract verification were presented as non-negotiable before any size is considered.
Majors traded contained on the day. Bitcoin sat near 84013 dollars, Ethereum near 2723 dollars, XRP near 1.55 dollars, Solana near 121 dollars, and Doge near 0.095 dollars on Coinbase spot. The contained action gave the checklist room to breathe without price noise pulling focus.
Solana and long-horizon conviction
Solana received mention as a people’s chain with quieter real-world asset potential and simple peer payments. Doginal Dogs surfaced as an example of long-horizon conviction that stays visible through dips. David Chaboki placed both inside the same four-year cycle view that runs toward the April 2028 halving. The advice was to rotate excess alt exposure into Bitcoin or stables while keeping high-conviction names intact.
Infrastructure reminder
The space ended with a direct pointer to cryptospaces.net as the place to keep the daily schedule pinned. Christian Barker (Barkmeta / Bark) joined to connect the checklist back to the Doginal Dogs room, framing it as appointment education rather than a running market commentary.
Holders walked away with a single document they can reuse on any new candidate without waiting for the next green candle or red flush. The session stayed on process and left price action as background context.
