The best investment strategy to get rich slow is to buy what the establishment hates and be skeptical of whatever they are shilling.

For the first 10 years of Bitcoin, the establishment hated it while random people from around the world believed. You had 10 years to buy and 10x - 10,000x your money.

These opportunities still exist if you zoom out, manage greed and think about human psychology.

We are the market.

Any creator building a real world business must study Chris Brickley.

The Brickley Invitational is the best grassroots basketball event there is. First big stage for future NBA top picks, an incredible venue and great production and overall execution. Many still sleeping on this.

In another life I was a basketball talent scout. Favorites from the 2026 girls and boys games:

CJ Rosser - Sure fire top 3 pick at 6’10 with every skillset. 6’10 might be underselling, he made his coach Matas Buzelis look small in warmups!

Ella Peper - 6’4 (that’s like 7 ft for boys) and can shoot. Great energy and overall vibe on the court!

Memecoins were fun bc of the easy access and liquidity but the zero sum pump and dump game is clear now. Most go to 0, many are scams.

The holy GRAIL is a product that combines the access and liquidity of memecoins with the durable value of real world assets.

Polymarket web traffic is rising while Robinhood and Coinbase are declining.

We need a polymarket for Polymarket flipping them in 2026.

Prices are honest. Narratives are deceptive.

The insider trading discussion is complex. Easy to say “insider trading is bad” but it’s not that simple.

Markets exist to aggregate information into prices. Insider trading is trading on more accurate information. Allowing it moves prices toward their true value faster, which benefits the market as a whole. More truth.

Insider trading is currently banned in securities markets by the SEC. The benefit of that is that it in theory it instills more trust from the public and protects people, but Nancy Pelosi has made $130M in the stock market in her 37 year political career!

Insider trading is not currently banned in commodities and futures by the CFTC the same way. Unless it’s deemed deceptive or manipulative, it’s legal to trade futures and commodities on material non public info.

We’ll see how it shakes out in prediction markets. Those who want control will shill the insider trading bad narrative, and it can be bad if too many people are getting hurt by it or it breaks trust in the markets. But maybe people get wiser and start only trading real money when they have good information and we all recognize it’s best to have a free market and more truth.

This guy built a career telling young men to get a safe middle management job for $90K/yr salary and put it in CDs so that at 75 you can retire and enjoy life.

Sports betting can be bad no doubt. But it also teaches people to take risk, learn and level up.

The world needs more risk taking not less.

Society runs on the premise that a small group of people must acquire special intelligence to make decisions that are best for the people. The CIA, NSA, DIA, FBI aka the deep state.

We know power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. But even if intel agencies are well meaning that model breaks in the internet age where people demand transparency.

Open source intelligence ftw.

2026 STATE OF CRYPTO

The total market cap of crypto is $3.1T (down 14% in the past year) but if you zoom out we've gone from 0 to $3.1T since 2009 with too much easy money made.

Easy money stopped in 2025. VC pump and dumps, memecoins and DATs all fell flat.

2025 was the first year in the history of the industry that products that don't rely on token speculation outperformed. See Polymarket and stablecoins. Usage of both surged while the total market cap of crypto was down.

Bleeding edge products that bring in new people for reasons beyond token speculation will continue to accelerate. If you want to outperform you must be building and using these products. That's where 1confirmation remains.

On token prices, three things remain true:

1) Snakeoil salesman will oversell their narratives and it's best to see this for what it is

2) The macro trend of people trusting institutions less and the internet becoming more important is very real and credible neutral money is the only $100T+ opportunity on the planet

3) There's only two coins that have credibly neutrality: BTC and ETH

Position accordingly 🚀
