Is upward mobility even possible in the age of AI? I’m not sure .. It feels like it might be dead. And that’s a big deal, because upward mobility is essential for career growth. Honestly, if that no longer exists, I’m not sure the concept of a “career” does either. It’s an interesting thought… but also a pretty unsettling.

Unpopular opinion: I think within the next decade, residential housing will become far more affordable. There will be plenty of inventory, making it easy for families to find and move into homes. In short, housing will no longer be the challenge it is today. Another unpopular opinion: Today, a large percentage of families are constantly stressed about money. But I believe that in 10 years, that number could drop to single digits. Financial stress will fade, and the things we worry about will shift entirely.

Allocating to Bitcoin isn’t speculative. Not allocating to Bitcoin is speculative.

Never try to convince someone to buy Bitcoin. It rarely works. Unsolicited advice usually gets ignored, especially when most people don’t understand that the real issue is fiat money. If you push it, they’ll likely come back later saying, “I wish I had listened a few years ago, but it’s too late now - I missed my chance.” And if they do buy, one of two things usually happens: 1. The price dips, they panic, sell at a loss, and blame you. 2. The price goes up, they sell after a 2x gain, feel smart, and miss the real upside. It’s the same cycle every time. When Bitcoin hits $300k or $500k, the pattern will repeat. Even when people ask, “How do I buy Bitcoin?” it’s usually just talk. You can walk them through it, but they rarely follow through. At this point, anyone who actually wants to buy doesn’t need help … they can use an ETF, Coinbase, Venmo, or PayPal. There are no real barriers anymore.

Everyone wins with Bitcoin. 1. Investors win — it’s the scarcest asset on Earth. Store of value secured. 2. Corporates win — no counterparty risk, no inflation eating the treasury. 3. Retail savers win — escape fiat debasement, preserve time & labor. 4. Developing nations win — access to global money that can’t be devalued. 5. Builders win — open-source protocol, no permission needed to innovate. 6. Banks (who adapt) win — new rails, new trust, new business models. 7. Governments (if smart) win — anchor credibility to incorruptible money. 8. Society wins — low time preference, sound money, real accountability. 9. Miners win — turn energy + proof-of-work into incorruptible security. 10. Free speech wins — uncensorable money = uncensorable voice. But… 11. Central bankers lose — no more money printer go brrr. 12. Crony bureaucrats lose — can’t hide theft behind inflation. 13. Authoritarians lose — can’t freeze what they can’t control. 14. Fiat gamblers lose — no printing to rescue bad bets.

Michael Saylor is rewriting the corporate finance in real time. Fucking Legend.

If global productivity increases, that value will flow into Bitcoin. If currencies are inflated, capital will move into Bitcoin. If the world is more insecure, that should flow into Bitcoin. It’s being fueled by chaos, by order, by conflict & even by automation. Think about it - if robots eventually do all the work, if AI handles all the thinking, if autonomous machines build and operate everything, we’ll see an explosion of equity value in the companies that own and operate that infrastructure. And ultimately, a lot of that value will find its way into Bitcoin.

Bitcoin Is the Highest Common Denominator.

In my view the rational macro play is a concentrated Bitcoin allocation, because Bitcoin remains the only vehicle that reliably grows real purchasing power in this era of perpetual monetary dilution & Fiscal Dominance.

True power comes only from self‑custody “not your keys, not your coins.”

If you have a retirement account or invest in index funds like the S&P 500, Nasdaq, or other ETFs, you already have exposure to Bitcoin whether you realize it or not. Many companies in these indexes are gradually adding Bitcoin to their treasuries. Since those companies are part of the indices, owning them means you’re indirectly exposed to Bitcoin. Like it or not, you’re in the game..

I believe crypto will ultimately give every individual a way to express their opinions and loyalty through monetary means. Take celebrities, for example - imagine if Shah Rukh Khan launched a tokenized fan club. He could issue 100,000 “FAN” tokens, allowing anyone, anywhere in the world, to buy and trade them 24/7 as a way of expressing their admiration. As the creator, Shah Rukh would control the supply. He could issue more tokens, but doing so could dilute their value. Transparency and disclosure would play a key role here. If more celebrities adopt this model, token value could become a real-time, market-driven indicator of popularity - more meaningful than traditional media rankings. Token holders could receive perks like exclusive meetups, merchandise, or behind-the-scenes access. It would create a direct, decentralized relationship between fans and celebrities - cutting out the middlemen. Another great use case is loyalty programs. Restaurants, resorts, airlines, or any customer-facing brand could issue tokens as rewards. For instance, a restaurant could give tokens to regular customers - building up a visible, on-chain history of loyalty. After 10 or 15 years, they could reward long-time patrons with special offers or recognition. It would deepen brand-customer relationships in a transparent, trackable way. Lastly, smart local governments could adopt a similar model. Citizens could earn tokens based on positive contributions to their community - timely bill payments, volunteering, or civic engagement. These tokens could translate into benefits like lower taxes or insurance premiums. Think of it like a decentralized civic reputation score - not issued by a central authority, but earned through verifiable actions. It could strengthen the bond between individuals and their governments in a way that feels earned and transparent.

Unpopular opinion: If it weren’t for Bitcoin, I’d have no choice but to care about politics and politicians.

In a world where AI is accelerating everything, deciding where to put your money becomes a tough question. But for me, the answer is clear - I’ve chosen to allocate a significant portion of my capital into a finite, digital asset - one that’s scarce, has high entry barriers, can’t be replicated, continues to gain global adoption, and remains highly desirable. That is Bitcoin.

One of the most impactful open-source contributions in the past five years has been Michael Saylor’s relentless evangelism of Bitcoin, going from podcast to podcast, interview to interview, sharing deep insights and unwavering conviction. What sets it apart is that he didn’t just talk; he backed his words with action, putting significant capital behind his belief. In doing so, he not only led by example but also helped millions of people get orange pilled & build wealth along the way.

Bitcoin is universal merger partner literally.

Bitcoin is lucrative.

If you’re buying Apple, Amazon, Tesla, or Google today, you’re essentially purchasing assets with P/E ratios ~50, meaning you’re paying a premium for already extremely expensive stocks. Smart money is starting to rotate out of these overvalued tech stocks and into Bitcoin, which remains massively underpriced, currently representing just 0.2% of global assets. Over the next decade, many of the same companies you’re investing in now will likely start buying Bitcoin on their balance sheets as part of their treasury asset. The smarter move? Buy Bitcoin directly before they do. It’s one of the simplest, most asymmetric opportunities in financial history and yet, most people are missing it because it feels too obvious.

Bitcoin benefits from massive network effects, the largest mining network, most developer activity, strongest brand recognition, and broadest institutional adoption. These network effects create powerful moats that become self-reinforcing over time. As adoption grows, Bitcoin's utility and value increase exponentially rather than linearly.
