If you’re bookmarking one investment guide for the decades to come, make it this one. Five minutes to rewire your mindset—and you’ll never see investing the same again. Revisit after the election; it’ll hit even harder.
Here’s the grand finale: Part III: The Radical Portfolio
You can focus your limited energy on the endless debates re equity vs token, memecoin nihilism, bitcoin spams then crash out

Bitcoin has existed for 7% of the time the US has existed. When our children become adults it’ll be 15%
Thats what the timeline of informed risk looks like. Every year it compounds in adoption, who understands and why. The only way to seize it is to grow with it -then pass it on

Solana has become a platform economy: its top applications now capture multiples more value than the base chain itself.
And the most revolutionary platforms are valuable because they don’t just take share of an existing market, they have the potential to expand it.
Solana apps like @phantom, @Pumpfun, and @JupiterExchange now generate meaningfully more revenue than the chain itself. In May 2026, Solana apps generated ~$94M in monthly retained revenue versus ~$18.6M in Solana Real Economic Value (REV), a measure of chain fees plus MEV tips.
That gap has persisted even after chain fees normalized following the TRUMP/MELANIA memecoin frenzy in January 2025. In our view, the data suggests that Solana is increasingly behaving like a platform economy where applications capture multiple times more value than the base chain itself.

AI companies will be next.
