This is absolutely crazy.
$10,000 invested in the SpaceX funding round in October 2010 is worth $18 million today.
$10,000 invested in $BTC that same month is worth $9 BILLION today.
Andrew Kang turned a few early stage robotics investments into a $500 Million publicly traded empire @RoboStrategy
He is widely considered THE leading investor in robotics
@Rewkang believes the ChatGPT moment for Robotics is happening RIGHT NOW and it will be BIGGER THAN BITCOIN

Anthropic just became the most valuable AI company on earth and what Chamath said months ago explains exactly why this moment matters (Save this).
Anthropic closed a $65 billion Series H round at a $965 billion post-money valuation surpassing OpenAI's $852 billion valuation from March and making Anthropic the highest-valued private company in history.
Just three months ago, in February, Anthropic had raised $30 billion at a $380 billion valuation meaning the company nearly tripled in value in a single quarter.
Claude's run rate revenue crossed $47 billion today, up from $30 billion in April, up from $9 billion at the end of 2025, a pace of revenue growth that has no comparable precedent in business history.
Now go back and watch what Chamath said, because he called the entire arc of this.
"I've never seen a business like this. And I'd say the same thing about Anthropic. Nobody in the history of the world has ever seen two businesses like this at this scale. These are trillion dollar companies. They both are. And they both deserve to be."
He said that before the $965 billion number.
@chamath also said something that most people skipped over, that OpenAI and Anthropic need to get public as fast as humanly possible because of what happens after.
Chamath laid out a specific sequencing thesis, SpaceX goes public first and does great, the next company does good to great, then appetite runs out, because the market simply cannot absorb trillions of dollars of new demand in rapid succession.
Today, Anthropic's $65 billion round may be precisely the move that locks in its position before that window narrows fortifying the balance sheet before the public markets get crowded.
But Chamath's deeper warning cuts through the celebration, once SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic are all public, the AI technology baked into all three will cannibalize the moats of every other tech company, compressing tech sector P/E ratios toward non-tech levels and making the software businesses of the last decade obsolete.
"It will eliminate and it will cannibalize and it will erode most of the moats that support this differential trading," he said directly.
"I'll buy the first five or six years of this story, but I'm not buying year 15 of this anymore because these three guys are going to build something."
The companies getting valued at near-$1 trillion today are not just winning but rather are the instruments by which everything else eventually gets repriced.

Ilya Sutskever's chilling prediction:
We're building AI that can build the next generation of AI. The closest analog in human history? The Industrial Revolution. But this time, on a much shorter timescale.
“Middle class has become a trap-door.
You’re funding everyone else’s, life but your own. You work 50hrs a week to stay exactly where you are.
You’re too poor to have options, but make too much to get assistance.”
—Afnan Khalifa
Middle Class is taken for granted.
I’ve seen hundreds of professors explain game theory.
But this professor explains it so simply that even a 15-year-old can understand it.
Once you understand this, you start seeing hidden strategies everywhere - in markets, business, and life.
