This guy predicted a year ago that Trump would win 2024 election and attack Iran, instigated by Netanyahu.
Bro teaches the history even before the actual events happen. Very very insightful
This guy predicted Trump and the Iran war last year.
Is a high school history teacher.
He had no views and no subscribers a few days ago. Has over 100k subs in like 3 days. Has entire playlists on what’s gonna happen. Has been right so far.
Absolutely insane.
I'm holding my breath for the Stablecoin Bill.
The big unknown is the CCCA Amendment, which could potentially derail the bill.
The Credit Card Competition Act (CCCA) targets the Visa/Mastercard duopoly. It would:
• Require banks to offer alternative payment networks
• Reduce "swipe fees," which cost merchants $187B annually
This would obviously be good for merchants and consumers.
But there's no U.S. democracy without lobbying. Banks, airlines, and others have lobbied heavily against the inclusion of the CCCA.
I'm not an expert, but could this derail the Stablecoin Bill? This would nuke the market.
Any insights?
Elon just hired a 21-year-old to take over DOGE’s AI team.
And while he has ZERO experience working in government...
He's already started cutting $43+ BILLION in key programs.
Here's why Elon's U.S. Govt. is starting to look like a startup lab:🧵
And so many of you inbreds thought he was actually bringing back jobs. It’s ok your kids can get classic white collar jobs now they don’t need to sew shoes for Nike in America.
I disagree Chamath. Here's what I am thinking:
1. The U.S. needs China more than China needs the U.S. China accounted for 13.4% of all U.S. imports, while the U.S. made up only 7.3% of China’s exports. The U.S. relies on China far more for its supply chain than China does on the U.S. for its export market.
2. China now accounts for over 28% of global manufacturing output, compared to the U.S. at around 16%. Over 120 countries trade more with China than with the U.S. This isn’t the 1950s anymore. The world leans on China economically. Ignoring that reality won’t strengthen America, but it will rather isolate it.
3. China operates under a unified, top-down system where a single ruling party sets and executes long-term national strategies with minimal internal resistance. In contrast, the U.S. is deeply polarized—nearly half the population tends to oppose whatever the current administration does, often out of pure partisan reflex. This ideological divide, coupled with rising extremism on both ends of the spectrum, makes it difficult for the U.S. to form consensus or pursue a focused national strategy.
4. The Chinese people have endured generations of hardship (from famines to revolutions) and that history has built a national resilience. They know what it means to survive real struggle, and they have the endurance to weather long-term economic pain if needed. In contrast, I’m not sure the same level of stamina exists across the broader American population. After decades of comfort and consumption-driven culture, a significant portion of Americans may not have the grit to withstand the kind of sustained hardship the Chinese have faced—and overcome—in the past.
5. Throughout the tariff rollout, Trump and key conservative voices alienated and belittled key U.S. allies, eroding trust at a critical moment, while China stepped in to welcome those pushed aside. Geopolitically, China gained ground while the U.S. lost it.
I may be wrong and I genuinely hope I am, but this is the reality as I currently see it. I’d love to hear others’ perspectives on my assessment of these two empires.

"America is the #1 economy on earth with all the cards. We will not have that forever. It's time to squeeze Chinese heads into the wall."
Kevin O'Leary calls for 400% tariffs on China.
lol @kevinolearytv you are aware of the maths, yes?
- 19% of China’s GDP relies on exports (2023)
- 12.5% of all Chinese Exports go to America
Therefore, China’s exports to America make up about 1-2% of its GDP. At a GDP growth rate of 5%, this is clearly not good but also not devastating!
From the U.S. perspective:
- 19% of U.S. imports are from China
So you are telling me it is smart to make 19% of what you consume more expensive x4 to… affect a percent or two of China’s GDP?
To illustrate how stupid this is, a few other points:
- China can play the long game. It has no elections and XJ is firmly in power. The U.S. doesn’t have that luxury. You see where I am going? Who will blink first you think? Especially when your 4x price increase (inflation) hits @realDonaldTrump base
- The rest of the world is still pro trade (as they are rational) hence global trade will just circumvent the US. Korea, Japan and China (arch enemies historically) are talking about a trade zone & a coordinated response… Europe and China are re-engaging on trade & investments…
- The US just doesn’t have the infrastructure to build some of these products in the short & medium term. Re long term, why would you want to pivot from a skilled labour base creating wealth, growth, innovation to one powered by sweatshops?
There’s so much more to unpack here … all in all, it doesn’t make sense
