There are a lot of people out there thinking about selling their Bitcoin when its down 40%+, to buy the S&P 500 when its at an all time high

They are not very smart

[Rajat Soni, CFA @Rajatsoni]

Most people STILL have no idea that you can buy fractions of Bitcoin

I was talking to a friend about BTC today, and he asked, "How am I supposed to buy a $80,000 worth all at once?"

I told him that he can buy fractions

You can buy as much more as little as you want to

There are people in low income countries who are buying $2-$3 worth of Bitcoin a month

It won't make you rich overnight, but it'll be savings that you can rely on in the future, and your purchasing power will go up

$80K car loan → “Nice ride, enjoy it.”

$150K student debt → “Everyone has it, no big deal.”

$25K vacation on credit → “You only live once.”

$10K in Bitcoin → “You’re crazy, that’s gambling.”

Society will cheer you on going broke,
but will panic the second you try to build wealth.

Strategy didn't just buy 4,871 Bitcoin last week

It eliminated another 4,871 entities (companies, individuals, governments, central banks, etc.) from ever potentially owning 1 Bitcoin

They will NEVER own 1 Bitcoin

Do you get it yet?

This is wild.

143 million people thought they were catching Pokémon. They were actually building one of the largest real-world visual datasets in AI history.

Niantic just disclosed that photos and AR scans collected through Pokémon Go have produced a dataset of over 30 billion real-world images. The company is now using that data to power visual navigation AI for delivery robots.

Players didn't just walk around with their phones. They scanned landmarks, storefronts, parks, and sidewalks from every angle, at every time of day, in lighting and weather conditions that staged photography would never capture. They documented the physical world at a scale no mapping company with a fleet of vehicles could have replicated on the same timeline or budget.

Niantic collected this systematically, data point by data point, across eight years, while users thought the only thing at stake was catching a rare Charizard.

The most valuable AI training datasets in the world aren't being assembled in data centers. They're being built by people who have no idea they're building them.

Most people don't know this:

You don't need $70,000 to start buying Bitcoin

You can buy as much Bitcoin as you want

You don't need to buy a whole bitcoin

You can buy $1/month if that's all you can afford to risk

$1/month may not seem significant, but over time, as you see it grow, you will start looking for ways to buy more

The point is to just start accumulating and get off zero

Just met a cute girl at the wedding i'm at.

like actually cute. genuinely attractive human being.

we're talking. vibes are good. she's laughing at my jokes.

i'm being charming.

then crypto gets brought up, she says it

"i use solana"

my ears PERKED up

i played it cool. i said "oh nice, what protocols are you on"

she said "i have some SOL on Kraken"

and that's where a normal person would have said "wow that's really cool" and gotten her number

but i am not a normal person

my brain immediately went into autopilot and i said "on Kraken? do you at least self-custody?"

she looked confused

i kept going

"do you have a wallet? do you stake? what's your DeFi allocation. are you actually onchain or are you just sitting on a CEX watching candles"

she said "i bought SOL and i check the price sometimes"

and i said "so you don't actually use solana"

the vibe was GONE

her friend pulled her away. she didn't look back.

i was standing there alone at a wedding holding a drink i wasn't even sipping doing MENTAL MATH on whether someone who's never left a CEX can even call themselves a solana user

my friend walked over and said "bro she was into you what happened"

i said "she holds SOL on a CEX"

he said "so?"

SO???

i would rather DIE alone than let a CEX-only price-checker who's never opened Phantom think we're in the same ecosystem

she had a pretty face but a DISGUSTING onchain history because there IS no onchain history and i simply cannot overlook that

could've had her number

but she knows i'm running DeFi positions across Drift and Kamino at 3am while she's asleep

and honestly that's worth more

I used to hate the idea of borrowing against your Bitcoin

But I was presented with new information and completely changed my mind

I used to think that you should just sell Bitcoin to buy the things that you need if you don't have enough income

But now I understand that most people won't care about Bitcoin until it's $1M+

Most of the Bitcoin supply will be bought by institutions until it reaches $1M+

The institutional investors who understand Bitcoin will never sell

For example, Strategy is building products that allow it to essentially print fiat so it can get as much Bitcoin as possible

Why should I sell my Bitcoin to Strategy?

Why should I pay the taxes associated with selling my Bitcoin?

Why should I pay the exchange fees to sell my Bitcoin?

If someone wants to be paid in Bitcoin, I will gladly give it to them over fiat

But if I have to sell my Bitcoin to buy the things that I need, then I would rather just borrow fiat against a very small portion of my stack and pay that loan back with devalued dollars

Of course, there are still risks associated with borrowing against your Bitcoin

It's still a relatively new asset class, so it's very volatile

You could be liquidated and lose your entire stack if you borrow against everything you have

I think it would be smart to limit the percentage that you borrow against

The limit would be up to you

Think about how much Bitcoin's price could fall before you make your decision

Eg. Borrowing against 5% of your stack with a loan-to-value of 50% means you can only get liquidated if Bitcoin's price sees a 96%+ drawdown

Borrowing against 50% of your stack with an LTV of 50% means you would get liquidated with a 67.5% drawdown

This is with a liquidation LTV of 80%

The lower your LTV, the safer your loan

Most people won't understand the significance of Bitcoin until fiat is dead

At that point, they won't be buying it

They will be working for it

[Rajat Soni, CFA @Rajatsoni]

Make sure you're buying assets because your money can work a lot harder than you can

When you buy assets, you're giving your money a job

If you leave your money in a bank account, the bank gets to put your money to work and keep the profits

[Rajat Soni, CFA @Rajatsoni]

I won't buy a new car until I can get one for under 0.1 BTC

I don't care if people think I'm broke

I'm not willing to go broke so I can look rich to broke people

The average person doesn't even have $400 saved

Their opinion doesn't matter

Stanley Druckenmiller is undoubtedly one of the best hedge fund managers of our time

This interview is from roughly a decade ago at USC, but remains one of my favorites

He discusses why he believes in putting all your eggs in one basket and watching that basket very closely

Gold is eternal.

It’s the largest store of value in human history—over $21 trillion—and physically indestructible.

But after 8 years running a physical gold fund, I realized something shocking:

Bitcoin is better.

Here’s why 🧵
