“If I put $100 in Bitcoin in 2010 I’d have $2.8B now.”
No.
If you bought $100 of Bitcoin in 2010 and watched it go to:
$1k → $100k → $1.7M
and did nothing
Then watched $1.7M go to $170k
and still did nothing
Then watched $170k go to $110M
and still did nothing
Then watched $110M wither to $18M
and still did nothing
Then watched $18M surge to $390M
and still did nothing
Then watched $390M deteriorate to $85M
Then watched $85M climb to $1.6B
and still did nothing
Then watched $1.6B shrink to $390M
and still did nothing
Then watched $390M surge to $2.8B
and then for some reason finally decided to do something…
Then yes, $100 in 2010 would be worth $2.8B today.

My latest for Forbes is how Stripe’s latest acquisition isn’t about crypto hype. It’s about replacing banks.
With Bridge and Privy, Stripe is building a modular financial stack that runs on stablecoins, avoids custody, and plugs into $1.4T in existing payment volume.
No sponsor banks. No licenses. No friction.
It’s turning any app into a fintech product: instantly, globally, and compliantly.
Most people saw Privy as a wallet company. Stripe saw a regulatory unlock.
This isn’t a side bet. It’s infrastructure.
And if banks understood what Stripe is really building, they wouldn’t dismiss it as a crypto experiment. They’d treat it like an existential threat.
In my latest for Forbes, I gave a verse to the Swifties. This one’s about what the future of fan ownership could actually look like.
Taylor Swift is one of the clearest examples of what it means to fight for control of your work. Her battle to reclaim her masters from Scooter Braun wasn’t just business. It was personal, and millions of fans rallied behind her.
To add to that, she re-released the “Taylor’s Version” albums. Her fans turned them into a massive success. But imagine if they could have gone even further. Not just streaming the right version, but actually owning a piece of what they helped rebuild.
The thing Web3 music still hasn’t gotten right is the focus. Too much emphasis has gone toward the money, not enough on the emotional connection fans have with the artists they love. Music has always been about feeling first.
Coming off the highest-grossing tour in history, a successful book, a blockbuster film, and more, there’s no artist better positioned to pull this off than Taylor Swift. And most importantly, she owns her masters. She wouldn’t need anyone’s permission.
Whether or not Taylor is the one to do it first, it feels inevitable that this is where we’re headed. The only questions left are who will launch it best, and which artists will follow once they see it works.
