I'm getting really tired of this narrative that America's in decline, that China's going to overtake us, that we're a civilization falling apart. I see this stuff all over X, all over the news, and I gotta tell you something.
They're looking at the wrong stuff.
Everyone's focused on GDP growth rates and manufacturing and trade deficits and all this earth-based economics, and they're completely missing what's about to happen in the next 10 years that's going to cement American dominance for the next century. And it's all happening above our heads, right now, in space.
America is about to own space in a way that no other country can even dream of competing with. And when I say own, I don't mean we have some satellites up there. I mean we're going to control the infrastructure, the resources, the intelligence, the manufacturing capacity in a domain that's literally infinite. And once you control space, you control everything that happens on Earth too.
Think about what's being built right this second. Starlink, fully operational, 6000 satellites up there, American.
Kuiper's getting ready to launch, American.
The AI satellites that are going to power the next generation of super-intelligence, American.
The reusable rockets that can actually get all this stuff to orbit cheaply, Falcon 9, Falcon Heavy, Starship, all American.
China's trying to compete but they don't have anything close to what SpaceX is doing with Starship. They launched their first reusable test vehicle but it was tiny compared to Falcon 9, and Falcon 9 is already old technology at this point because Starship's going to replace it.
And this is the part people don't get, space isn't just about launching satellites for internet and GPS and all that. What's coming next is going to completely transform what's possible for humanity, and it's all going to be American-led because we're the only ones with the launch capacity to actually do this stuff at scale.
And we're not even talking about Super-intelligence.
You need massive compute to train these models. And where's the best place to put compute? Space. You've got unlimited solar power, no cooling costs because you just radiate heat into the void, no land costs, no permitting, no protests about water usage for cooling. You launch these data centers into orbit and they just run forever on sunlight.
And who's building the rockets to get that hardware up there cheaply? SpaceX. American.
And who's building the AI models that are going to run on that compute? OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, Google, NVIDIA, all American companies.
Then you've got Asteroid mining.
This one's crazy because people think it's science fiction, but the economics actually work now that launch costs are dropping. There's asteroids out there with more platinum than has ever been mined on Earth, more rare earth elements than China controls, more nickel and iron than we could ever use. And once you can get that stuff, you remove every single bottleneck for manufacturing advanced technology.
You know those rare earth minerals that China basically has a monopoly on right now? The stuff that goes into every phone, every computer, every battery, every advanced electronic? Once we're mining asteroids, that monopoly is worthless. And the companies working on this, Planetary Resources folded but there's new ones coming, they're all American-based because we're the only ones with access to cheap launch.
Then you've got the Moon bases.
This is probably coming sooner than people think, maybe late 2020s, early 2030s. NASA's Artemis program is already laying the groundwork, SpaceX is going to be the lander for the astronauts. And why does a moon base matter? Because the moon's gravity is one-sixth of Earth's gravity, which means launching stuff from the moon into deep space is way way easier than launching from Earth.
You build manufacturing on the moon, you mine lunar regolith for resources, you launch from there, and suddenly getting to Mars or the asteroid belt or anywhere else in the solar system becomes cheap. The moon becomes the jumping off point for everything else, and America's going to own that infrastructure.
Then you've got the Mars colony.
Elon's been talking about this forever and people memed on him for years, but Starship is actually flying now. And the economics are starting to work. You need a million tons of cargo to Mars to build a self-sustaining city, that's what Elon said. With Starship, if they can get to the cost targets they're aiming for, you could actually do that in 20 years or less.
Is that timeline realistic? I don't know, maybe it takes 30 or 40 years. Doesn't matter.
The point is America's the only country even attempting it. China talks about Mars but they don't have the rockets, they don't have the reusable technology, they don't have the private sector ecosystem that's actually innovating on this stuff. Russia's space program is basically dead at this point. Don't get me started on Europe.
It's just us.
And why does a Mars colony matter for American dominance? Because it guarantees the survival of human civilization, which means it guarantees the survival of American values, American technology, American culture. If something catastrophic happens on Earth, nuclear war, asteroid impact, super volcano, pandemic way worse than COVID, whatever, humanity continues on Mars. And that colony is going to be flying an American flag.
Actually scratch that, Elon will probably put up some kind of Mars flag, but you get what I'm saying. It's American-led, American-built, American-financed.
And then you've got freaking AI satellites in space training Super Intelligence.
You train AI models in space where you have unlimited power and compute, those models get smart enough to design better rockets, better mining equipment, better habitats for the moon and Mars, better manufacturing processes. And those better designs enable more space development, which enables more compute in space, which enables smarter AI.
It's this feedback loop that just compounds on itself, and America's the only country that's positioned to ride that wave because we're the only ones with all the pieces. We got the AI companies, we got the launch providers, we got the capital markets to finance all of it, we got the regulatory environment that actually lets private companies do this stuff without the government strangling them.
You think China's government is going to let a private company build a Mars colony? You think they're going to let some entrepreneur launch thousands of satellites without total state control? They can't do it, their system doesn't allow for the kind of rapid innovation you need for this.
And the technology that gets developed for all this space stuff, it doesn't just stay in space. It comes back to Earth and makes everyone's lives better. The satellites improve internet access for billions of people in remote areas. The AI trained in space solves problems in medicine, materials science, energy production. The mining techniques developed for asteroids get adapted for Earth and make resource extraction way cleaner and more efficient.
The life support systems developed for Mars bases, that technology improves sustainability here on Earth. There's a whole thing about closed-loop recycling systems but that's a topic for a different day.
The crazy part is most people don't see this coming. They're still thinking about great power competition in terms of GDP and military spending and manufacturing output, all these 20th century metrics.
Those things matter, I'm not saying they don't, but they're not where the game's being decided anymore.
The game's being decided 300 miles up, 240,000 miles away at the moon, 140 million miles away at Mars. And America's winning that game before most people even realize it's being played.
Does this mean America's perfect? No.
We got plenty of problems, infrastructure's aging, healthcare system's a mess, education could be way better, all that stuff. I'm not saying everything's great. But the best things tend to be created during the bad times.
What I'm saying is the doom and gloom narrative that America's in terminal decline and China's about to become the dominant superpower, that narrative is looking at the wrong century. They're refighting the Cold War with manufacturing and trade balances, and meanwhile America's building the infrastructure for the next phase of human civilization.
Space-based super-intelligence that gives us unlimited knowledge and problem-solving capability. Asteroid mining that gives us unlimited resources. Moon bases that give us cheap access to the entire solar system. Mars colonies that guarantee humanity's survival no matter what happens on Earth.
All American-led. All American-built.
And the gap's just going to get wider because the more we do in space, the cheaper it gets, the faster we innovate, the harder it becomes for anyone else to catch up. China could pour a trillion dollars into their space program tomorrow and they'd still be a decade behind, and by the time they caught up to where we are now, we'd be another decade ahead.
That's what dominance actually looks like. Not just being in front, anyone can be in front for a little while, but being so far in front that the gap is unbridgeable, that the compounding advantages make it impossible for anyone else to compete.
And that's where America's going to be by 2035, maybe 2040. Completely untouchable in space, which means completely untouchable everywhere else.
So yeah, you can worry about GDP growth rates and trade deficits if you want. I'm watching the rockets launching every week, I'm watching the satellite constellations expanding, I'm watching the AI companies training bigger and bigger models, and I'm seeing a future where America doesn't just maintain its position, it expands it beyond anything anyone's ever seen in human history.
Suck it, doomers.
You're not a bad trader, you just think too far ahead
Trading advanced techniques when you haven't mastered the basics
Thinking about 6 figures a month when you haven't hit your 1st payout
Looking for $10k days when you don't have consistency
Nothing wrong with being ambitious, but it creates a false sense of urgency
& there's nothing worse in trading than NEEDING something to happen
Every loss feels like you're falling behind, so you try to make it back.
But that only digs the hole deeper.
You lose unthinkable sums of money before you realize it
Mastering the basics & being somewhat consistent is more than enough to be extremely profitable
Don't think about anything else until you've done that.
Stop gambling, start trading.
