“Leftists be like: ‘No, hate has absolutely no place here.’ Also leftists: ‘Yes, we hate men, we hate everything that isn’t leftist, the police, corporations, billionaires, white men, everything that isn’t vegan… ah, and what isn’t leftist.’”

⚡️The early Bitcoin holder may be one of the cleanest wealth outcomes capitalism can produce. Think about what happened to the rare person who accumulated meaningful Bitcoin very early and actually held it. They did not need to build a 10,000-person company. They did not need customers. They did not need employees. They did not need a board. They did not need to manage LP money. They did not need to continually recreate the economic engine that made them wealthy. They made one extraordinarily consequential capital-allocation decision, survived years of uncertainty, and eventually the asset itself did almost all of the scaling. That is an incredible lifestyle outcome. A founder worth $100M may technically have the same net worth, but much of it can be trapped inside a company requiring their attention, carrying payroll, lawsuits, competition, customers, executives, financing, and constant strategic decisions. The early Bitcoin holder can have $100M sitting in an asset that requires almost no organizational complexity to own. Enormous wealth. Tiny operating surface area. That combination is rare. There is also something profound about how the wealth was created. They recognized a new category before the world agreed the category was real. The wealth came from carrying uncertainty. Bitcoin looked ridiculous. Then dangerous. Then speculative. Then legitimate. Then institutional. Every step upward removed uncertainty while also removing asymmetry. The earliest holders were compensated for occupying the period when the world could still plausibly say the entire thing was worthless. But survivorship bias here is enormous. Thousands of people also concentrated into things they believed were revolutionary and lost everything. Even among people who bought Bitcoin early, many sold at 2x, 5x, 10x, or 50x. Others lost keys. Others got destroyed by exchanges. Others overleveraged. Others simply could not psychologically carry an asset through repeated 70% to 90% drawdowns while everyone around them told them they were insane. So the extraordinary outcome required several things to happen together: see correctly very early, size enough for being right to matter, survive enormous volatility, preserve custody, and resist selling when the gain already looked life-changing. That is almost impossibly difficult in real time. The highest form of wealth creation may actually be finding a very small number of generational capital-allocation decisions rather than continually maximizing labor output. One Bitcoin-like decision can compress decades of economic effort into ownership of the right thing at the right moment. Afterward, the entire purpose of wealth can change. You no longer need to optimize for more work. You can optimize for autonomy. Time. Privacy. Research. Relationships. Travel. Building things because they matter to you rather than because they need to pay you. And compared with becoming a billionaire CEO whose phone can never truly be turned off, the anonymous person who quietly owns enormous permanent capital may have won a different and arguably more valuable game. The founder builds a machine powerful enough to create freedom later. The generational investor finds an asset powerful enough to make the machine unnecessary. That second outcome is incredibly rare. But when it happens, the lifestyle asymmetry is almost absurd.

🚨David Friedberg predicts the path to “Comrade AOC,” national asset seizures, and data centers becoming the next target. “They enact policy starting in 2028 with Comrade AOC in charge… costs balloon, the bond market sells off… and now the 30-year yield spikes 7%, 8%, maybe more.” Higher rates make housing even less affordable. Then the government needs more money. “So now we need to pass a national asset seizure tax.” But there isn’t enough wealth at the top. “The total net worth of all people that are worth over $50 million is only $23 trillion.” @DavidSacks points to a Cato estimate putting nine DSA-style proposals at $71 TRILLION to $212 TRILLION over 10 years. The entire Forbes 400 is worth just $6.6 trillion. Eventually, Friedberg argues, you run out of billionaires to tax and move toward confiscation and scapegoating. @chamath: “The billionaires will be scapegoated, and the trillionaires will be, I mean, even worse.” Then tech becomes the target: “The data center is the temple where the billionaires and trillionaires pray.” @friedberg’s warning: massive DSA-style government spending makes the affordability crisis worse, fuels resentment, and eventually creates the political justification for national asset seizures.

Booking Tony Robbins today costs $1 million for a single day. this is a 21-minute tape from inside his own house, filmed over 30 years ago, where he breaks down exactly how to get anyone to say yes. same $1 million material. completely free. this is a rare, unfiltered tape from decades before this man started charging billionaires just to be in the room with him. people give you two excuses when they say no, he says. not enough time. not enough money. neither is true. the real reason is they don't believe it's worth it yet, and that's not a money problem, that's a state problem. so he teaches something he calls attack and confess. instead of arguing with the objection, you confess your own. "I had a chance to go to this thing six months ago and I didn't go until two months ago," he tells the room. "I can't even imagine the time I lost." the room goes quiet. nobody argues back. he calls it getting someone on the yes train. every small yes you get compounds into the next one, until saying no to the final ask feels harder than saying yes. by the time he asks someone to sign, he says, they've already agreed to it five times over without realizing it. 21 minutes. that's all it takes to walk away knowing the exact two moves people pay $1 million a day to learn: how to read anyone's state, and how to move it. most people spend years in sales guessing at this. he wrote it down on a flip chart in his living room in under half an hour. a seat in that room cost $125 back then. today it's a $1 million-a-day to sit in front of him. The tape is free right now, and the answer is in this video.

BREAKING: Billionaire Whitey Basson says Elon Musk’s Starlink must launch in South Africa. 🇿🇦 He said that keeping @Starlink out of South Africa is discouraging businesspeople from investing in rural areas where there is no working communications infrastructure.

.@elonmusk says zero people died from DOGE cuts to USAID. The billionaire CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, in his own words, helped feed the policy to the woodchipper last year, when he was the head of America’s Department of Government Efficiency. In an exclusive interview, @zannymb, The Economist’s editor-in-chief, challenges his claims:

Some of the richest people in the country have now funneled more than $1.6 billion into the 2026 elections. Democracy is one person, one vote — not billionaires buying elections. We must end Citizens United and super PACs and move to public funding of elections.
