Not everything needs to be “smart.” I don’t need a refrigerator connected to WiFi. I don’t need an app for my light bulbs. I don’t need my toaster downloading a software update. Give me appliances with an ON button, an OFF button, and absolutely no ability to send me a notification.

U.S. Dollar has lost 97% of its purchasing power since the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913 🚨 🚨

U.S. M2 Money Supply surpasses $23 Trillion for the first time in history 📈 🥳 🍾

Western countries have allowed open entry to millions of people who express a genocidal hatred of Jews as captured via a multitude of reliable data. The politicians who are the architects of these open border policies than proclaim that "Jew-hatred as no place here." It is difficult to imagine this level of Orwellian duplicity. I don't think that we have ever faced such parasitized suicidal empathy in recorded history. This mind virus, which hijacks both your cognitive and emotional system, is more dangerous than all biological pathogens combined because it rewires your brain into thinking that your collective suicide is the epitome of morality.

Paper money was never supposed to be the money. It was a receipt. You deposited gold at a bank. The bank gave you a note that said: "The bearer of this note may redeem it for X amount of gold." That's all a dollar was. A claim ticket. The paper had no value. The gold in the vault did. The paper just made it easier to carry. This system worked for centuries. Every major currency was backed this way. The British pound. The French franc. The U.S. dollar. Then, slowly, governments realized something: If people trust the paper, they never come for the gold. So they printed more notes than they had gold. Then more. Then more. When too many people asked questions, they closed the gold window. That was supposed to be temporary. 55 years later, the dollar is still backed by nothing but trust. And that trust has cost you 97% of your purchasing power. The receipt became the money. Global money became trust-based. And money became nothing but a promise that nobody has to keep.

We are living through the most rapid evolution in history. If you feel tired, that's OK. You're trying to process exponential change with a linear brain.

The US is innovating at an unprecedented rate: There are 62 technology companies in the US reporting net annual profit above $1 billion, by far the most of any country. This is over 4 times more than in the world’s 2nd-largest economy, China, which has 15 such tech firms. In the US, there are 21 more global tech firms than in China, Japan, Taiwan, and the Eurozone combined. Among the world’s 10 largest companies, 8 are US technology firms. Meanwhile, among the top 10 most innovative companies, 8 are based in the US. US tech dominance is an understatement.

I’ve spent 30 years handicapping markets the way my father taught me to handicap horses. Do the work. Ignore the crowd. Bet big only when the odds are mispriced. After applying that same framework to Bitcoin, I’ve come to a simple conclusion: This is the most asymmetric bet of my career. Not because of hype, because of positioning. The wealthiest allocators still treat it like a 100–1 longshot. My paper explains why I think they’re wrong. 👇 visserlabs.substack.com/p/ha…
