The Red Sox list Collin Hetzler as the (interim) hitting coach, by the way. So he seems to be the lead for that group. He had been in that role with Triple-A Worcester.
John Soteropulos is still the assistant hitting coach, his first season in that job.
⚡️Houston is what happens when the physical world starts mattering again.
That chart is a regime signal.
A metro that large adding that much real GDP that fast means capital is flowing toward throughput, energy, logistics, engineering, fabrication, and movement of actual molecules. Houston is not winning because it has better vibes. Houston is winning because the economy still runs on power, pipes, ports, chemicals, steel, freight, and scale.
That is the part a lot of people still do not get. The last cycle trained everyone to worship abstraction. Apps, media, software, branding, financial engineering, digital prestige. Then the world got more constrained, more fragmented, more inflationary, more physical. Suddenly the winners look different. Power matters. Land matters. shipping matters. Industrial competence matters. Houston lives there.
The deeper truth is that Houston is one of the clearest expressions of American hard power inside a city. Energy complex. Port complex. petrochemicals. aerospace adjacency. medical scale. construction. immigration. Business formation. It is one of the few places in America where the old industrial world and the new compute world can actually shake hands. AI can talk all day about transforming civilization. Civilization still needs electricity, cooling, concrete, gas, transport, and buildable land. Houston sits closer to those choke points than most of the prestige cities that dominate the cultural conversation.
That is why this growth matters at size. Small boomtowns can rip for a while on one narrow driver. Houston doing this means the underlying machine is broad. It has enough depth to convert population, capital, infrastructure, and commodity advantage into real output. That is a very different thing from a tourism bounce or a housing sugar high.
The highest coherence read is simple.
America is rotating back toward cities that can do hard things.
Not talk about them.
Not regulate them.
Not aestheticize them.
Do them.
Houston is ugly, functional, rich in substrate, and built for scale. In a serious era, those traits start compounding.
That is what this chart is really saying.
The future is getting more physical again.
Houston was already there.
When you go to the gym you destroy your body to get bigger and stronger. So why don’t you think God designed the mind and soul to become stronger the same way? You suffer because you were designed to. Embrace the joker archetype who sees the madness as a thrill
$Nvidia is worth 35,830,000 bitcoins today.
Not gonna fit. There's only 21 million bitcoins. Nvidia will go down in BTC terms.
$Apple is worth 26,000,000 bitcoins today.
Not gonna fit. There's only 21 million bitcoins. Nvidia will go down in BTC terms.
$Tesla is worth 8,251,000 million bitcoins today.
That fits. But do you really think $Tesla is worth 40% of all bitcoins? Nah. Tesla will go down in BTC terms.
Do you see?
There's only 21 million bitcoins. Always and forever. Everything has to fit inside.
Then you realize...
The Chinese Yuan is worth 377,285,009 BTC. Rekt.
The U.S. Dollar is worth 183,870,703 BTC. Rekt.
The Euro is worth 152,303,623 BTC. Rekt.
Everything is trending down in Bitcoin terms. Forever.
When I first made this post in October of 2024, Nvidia was worth 46,361,000 bitcoins, Apple was worth 55,246,000 bitcoins, and Tesla was worth 12,874,000 bitcoins.
That means since then...
Nvidia has declined by 23%
Apple has declined by 53%
Tesla has declined by 36%
This is happening as you read these words. Everything is getting repriced inside of Bitcoin's 21 million supply.
This means two things:
1) Everything is going down in BTC terms, because there is constantly new productivity being created, but there is a finite, fixed supply of BTC. The current amount of productivity *has to go down in BTC terms* to make room for the new productivity to be priced in BTC. The faster new productivity is created, the faster everything else trends down in BTC price.
2) If everything is going down in BTC terms, the inverse is also true: BTC is going up in value against everything else.
Is this actually true?
Well, ask yourself... has BTC outperformed everything else since it was created in 2009?
Well then.
The world is waking up to Bitcoin. This will make the California gold rush look like a neighborhood garage sale.
Everything is trending down in BTC terms, and BTC is going up in value, forever.
(Bonus: I created this video over two years ago. BTC is up over 500% since then...)
WAKE UP
Crypto is quietly breaking more people than it’s making rich.
No one wants to admit it, but this space is brutal... not just financially, but mentally, emotionally, and physically.
The market never sleeps, and neither do we. There’s no off switch. Even when you're out of a trade, your brain is racing: What’s next? What did I miss? Should I be rotating, scaling, exiting, aping?
The FOMO is relentless and the pressure to always be 'on' eats away at you.
We romanticize the upside: the pumps, the 100x plays, the passive income. But underneath it all is a constant state of mental warfare.
It’s decision fatigue at scale -> Endless opportunities -> Infinite tabs -> Conflicting opinions -> And a voice in your head that whispers: 'If you stop, you’ll fall behind.'
And let’s not even get started on Crypto Twitter: where people with zero identity or accountability will tear you down for sport.
One bad call and the pitchforks come out. It's a culture of ego, toxicity, and projection… all disguised as 'alpha.'
Add to that the physical toll:
- Poor sleep
- High cortisol
- Dopamine addiction from volatility
A body trained to stress every time your phone buzzes. This isn’t just trading, this is full-scale stimulation overload. And the truth? Most people burning out in this space won’t even realize it until it’s too late.
You don’t need to catch every move. You don’t need to be online 24/7.
You need rest. You need perspective. You need longevity.
Because the ultimate alpha isn’t a 100x. It’s being mentally clear, emotionally grounded, and physically well, while everyone else is spiraling.
Take care of yourself. The market will still be here tomorrow. There is always another opportunity.
Funny how trading ends up teaching you more about life
than the charts ever could.
It’s supposed to be numbers and patterns, probabilities and edge.
But what you really find is a mirror.
You see your impatience:
wanting profits now, unable to wait for the setup.
You see your ego:
needing to be right, even if it means holding a loser until it destroys you.
You see your fear:
cutting winners too soon because the pain of giving it back feels unbearable.
And then you realize — it’s the same everywhere.
In relationships, in money, in health, in goals.
We sabotage ourselves because we chase feelings instead of following plans.
Trading is just a concentrated version of life.
All your weaknesses exposed.
All your strengths tested.
Fix them here, and you’re not just building a trading account.
You’re building a life account that compounds even more.
America was built on the backs of men who smoked cigarettes, drank whiskey and fought wars across Europe who came home to work 30+ years in a mill or mine
You sleep 8 hours, wearing blue light blockers, under red lights, drinking purified water after eating grass fed organic meals so you can listen to some spiritually homosexual guru on a podcast in electric car for motivation to go do a “optimal workout” in a climate controlled environment gym wearing shoes that cost as much as your grandfather was paid for Island hopping in the Pacific
Harden the fuck up
funniest thing ever is when germany sold the $57k bottom on bitcoin
and even funnier is that they sold it for euros
which is a worthless money that they themselves can print
this is a colossal fumble that will literally be studied for thousands of years
i'm not exaggerating
Read if you're not as rich as you want.
These are your actual odds at "making it" and what you must do.
In the US: 1 in 1,000 make over a million a year
1 in 11,000 over 10 mil.1 in 35,000 over 20
The Truth: If you want to "make it," you must be a freak. You must be an absolute outlier of behavior.
The hardest worker out of your entire high school class for a mil.
The best person out of every high school class in your city for 10+ a year.
You don’t get to keep normal.
You don’t get to keep balance.
If there’s 1,000 people in a room, you have to be better than 999 of them.
If you want 20 mil+, there needs to be an entire 35,000-person army dead around your feet for you to make it.
You. Don’t. Get. To. Be. Like. The 999 (or the 34,999).
Stop thinking you get to be human and balanced.
By default you will be completely unrelatable to anyone you meet or know.
You are going to need to operate and move differently than anyone you know.
Different than all your childhood, high school, and college friends.
Different than your parents and family.
You will NOT meet anyone who relates to you, your sacrifices, or ideals without EXTREME effort.
You are, without irony, trying to be a "chosen one."
By default, 99.999% of people will not understand you and your behavior.
You will be seen as extremely unreasonable.
I tell you this because I meet too many people who think they can make it and still behave like a normie.
They even resent this and try to find ways to make it while still being normal.
But when you look at these extreme odds, you can't help but draw one conclusion...
You are going to have to be extreme.
You must be the 1 person in 11,000 willing to give up the most and push the hardest.
Normal is done for you.
Embrace your extremism.
Make zero concessions.
Relish in it and embrace it.
Don't fight it.
Lean into it.
Everyone wants what you want. Everyone.
But only an insanely tiny, small number of the most unreasonable, odd people will get it.
If you want that to be you...
Quadruple down on your unreasonable oddness.
It's non-negotiable.
Read if you want to make it. Important:
I had a pretty huge vacation lined up for my birthday to Monaco.
Canceled it all. Lost a BIG chunk of $$.
That’s how important the next few months are in crypto (and in AI tech at HYROS).
The next few months can change your entire life. A clear, laser-focused mind and absolutely perfect attention-to-detail decision-making is life or death here.
Very few here will leave alive. Your entire fate in crypto will come down to 2–3 decisions you’ll have to make entirely by intuition. Fail to see things clearly, and you'll fumble this like 95% of everyone else here.
If you’re in tech like me, you also have ONE shot to catch this inflection point in AI. It’s an open gold mine—similar to the start of the internet. This is your chance to be first and claim your territory as the entire world changes. This “territory” will be eaten up in the next year.
The next 6 months can truly add 8, 9, and (if you’re a builder) 10 figures (my goal) to your net worth.
After this run, crypto will be far more regulated and balanced. It'll be more consistent, but the crazy fast-money potential will be gone.
After this wave in AI, the dominant companies will control everything and develop at light speed. There is a BRIEF window of massive disruption opportunity in the next 12 months that will close forever after this.
In the true sense… it’s time to lock the everliving F%$K in, gentlemen (and the 3’s girls that follow).
This is, with no hype, the biggest money-making potential month(s) of the last couple decades.
I personally will be at my desk skipping all things, saying no to everything and putting everything into these moves/market and building the Mona Lisa of marketing AI at HYROS.
Clear mind. Zen focus. You can get drunk on your superyacht later. This is your origin story. Don’t fumble it.
This isn’t crazy news but I want to share anyway
After 10 years in crypto I never took a single dollar back to my bank in a real way
Never transferred more than like 10 20k for expenses
Today I made the decision
I took 1M out
Gonna get a house and open a business
10 years
People hate sacrifice. They hate risk. They hate long timeframes.
Which is why these are the gatekeepers to success.
To crush life you must do what others will not. 99% of others will not do these.
So by embracing them with glee you will beat 99% of people.
