We'll revisit this tweet in a few years and check-in who the "clowns" really were.

[Michael Lebowitz, CFA @michaellebowitz]

Sickening how many people were persuaded by these clowns.

[NorthCollectors.base @RichardBudman]

It will. Programmable money are tricky concepts to grasp and zero of that is priced in right now. Once the market grasps its #crypto the AI agents will be using i think it's GAME OVER.

[Nick Huber @sweatystartup]

If Bitcoin and crypto can’t gain ground in this unbelievable tech and AI run it’s a lost cause.

It’ll slowly go to zero over the next 10 years.

Clear as day.

@PeterSchiff No one cares what u think.

Yup.

I gotta say man, the World Cup really is just putting on display how all of these bullshit divides have nothing to do with normal people vs. normal people. It's our leaders, our governments, our sociopathic elites.

@scottmelker No..Just without Trump.

@markmulroney @elonmusk There is nothing to admire about Musk. He pulled the biggest stock market scam today.

@tobi The Shopify "Trust & Safety" department is a far bigger disgrace.

Hmm.. Reading the @Matt_Hougan memo is making me say something I've been thinking for a while - Could #bitcoin die and Blockchain and stablecoins survive and thrive?

[NorthCollectors.base @RichardBudman]

Only in #crypto would an investor I dug end up going silent and become a fixture on #TMZ for possible involvement in his girlfriends death. #bonk

Realising Apple went public at under $2 billion and 15 times revenue in 1980.

SpaceX wants you to buy at $2 trillion and 100 times revenue in 2026.

That is not getting in early. That is being the exit for venture capitalists who have held this equity for years at a fraction of what you are being asked to pay.

Almost none of the retail investors buying this IPO will read the 300 pages before the book closes on June 11.

That is your entire competitive advantage right there.

Just got off a call with a Canadian 🇨🇦 ecom founder running rev through a US LLC, doing $12M/yr, on track to hit $15-20M, and the business is genuinely crushing it right now, $1M/month, stable, scaling.

But the backend? Completely fell apart trying to keep up.

He survived brutal cash flow crunches and payment holds across multiple stores earlier this year. Now that the dust settled, he looked under the hood and found something wild: a $12M/year operation running almost entirely on debit card and no accounting lol. He already got a US Biz Amex setup but is hard-capped at $10k despite sitting on much much more in his biz bank accounts. Zero US credit history. No P&L statements. No internal accounting. And his Canadian Wise account was triggering Amex rejections on the US side.

Worth noting too that Canada was quietly taking a massive bite out of every dollar he made.

Here's the full plan we built together.

The first unlock is immediate. Before he gets on a plane, we're applying for a Capital One card remotely to plant the first seed of a US credit profile. Low friction, fast approval, and it starts the clock on his credit history so future applications land on warmer ground.

Then in May, he's flying to Miami for a targeted bank run, walking into every major high-street branch to open business checking accounts and apply for starter credit cards in person. No more fighting automated KYC systems from abroad. Face-to-face relationships with real bankers change everything at this level.

The Chase Sapphire Reserve is the crown jewel of this trip.

He has no US credit score, so normal underwriting would be a dead end. The move: park $100k into a Chase business account and let it season for 60-90 days. That deposit signals financial seriousness to the branch team, dramatically shortens the approval path, and can get him into the Sapphire Reserve without the usual 6-12 month wait. Once approved he's looking at unlimited 3x points on every dollar of ad spend, and lounge access at 1,500+ airports globally.

The fintech credit unlock is where things get really interesting.

Right now he's locked out of high fintech credit lines not because his business is weak, but because he has zero accounting documentation. Parker approves based on business health metrics, monthly revenue, bank balances, Shopify performance, ad data, and cash flow, not personal US credit. A business doing $1M/month can qualify for up to 50% of monthly revenue as a credit line. That's a minimum $300k-$500k in monthly fintech credit just sitting there, unclaimed.

The fix is simple: work with our Phantom Tax Advisor immediately to complete Q1 accounting and generate clean P&L statements. The moment that documentation exists, the Parker or Flex Pay application becomes a formality. No PG required. 30/60/90 day repayment windows. Zero interest if paid on time. This isn't a someday upgrade, it's a 2-week process once the books are clean.

🔥 Week 1: Apply Capital One remotely + engage Jurus for Q1 accounting cleanup
🔥 Week 2-3: P&L generated → Parker/Flex Pay application → $300k+ monthly credit unlocked
✅ May trip: Miami bank run, open accounts at every major branch, apply for starter cards in person
🔐 60-90 days after $100k Chase deposit: Chase Sapphire Reserve application with banker support

Then there's the tax piece, which honestly might be the biggest win of all.

He's been building real wealth while Canada quietly taxes it at some of the highest personal rates in the developed world. We're implementing what I call the Three Phantom Pillars.

Step one is establishing paper tax residency in Paraguay. Foreign income drops to 0% personal tax. Clean, legal, done. He just needs to make sure to properly leave the CA tax system as well which we will help him with.

Step two is using the US LLC to flow profits cleanly, keeping the banking infrastructure and payment processing locked in the world's most credible jurisdiction.

Step three is a Panama Foundation layer for asset accumulation and privacy. Own nothing, control everything.

The full picture is a guy going from $10,500 in monthly card capacity and massive Canadian tax exposure, to $300k+ in monthly credit, a premium Chase/Amex travel card stack, and a legally structured 0% tax rate across his entire operation.

From debit cards to an unfuckwitable wealth ecosystem.

The backend finally catches up to the biz. Classic Phantom W.

If ur running serious volume and your financial infrastructure looks nothing like your revenue, that gap is costing you far more than you think. Let's fix it.

Trump will go down as the worst POTUS in modern history

destroyed the American empire and pissed away any influence we had left to look tough and to cater to foreign interests who are likely blackmailing him

i don’t expect his most vociferous supporters who still stand by him to understand

i expect them to go down with the ship and be rightfully and forever tarnished by their ongoing association with him
