Compounding capital and real world maxxing in🇨🇭

[Stack Hodler @stackhodler]

35 years into this game

when I look back, most of my work and decisions went nowhere

I owe my dream life to a handful of asymmetric bets:

- asking out the French exchange student in high school
- learning to code in 2009
- dropping out of uni to pursue my startup
- going all-in Bitcoin in March 2020

those four decisions shaped most of my life

I missed so many opportunities.

some that were served up on a silver platter.

but that's the beautiful thing about asymmetric bets - you only need one to completely change your trajectory

so how often are you actually looking for them?

not the default path.
not the safest options.

the ones with limited downside and massive upside

they're often hiding behind exaggerated downside

you think they're riskier than they are
you fear the judgement of pursuing them, or failing to succeed

nobody actually cares though

its your life. take swings.

the guy who strikes out is still closer to hitting a home run than the heckler in the bleachers

time speeds up after 35 years

it's made me more ruthless about where I allocate my time and capital.

forced me into a barbell strategy for life

I'm either squeezing the most I can out of this pre-ASI moment - real world maxxing somewhere beautiful with lovely people- or I'm allocating time/capital to the most asymmetric bets I can find.

@stfuopsec @oudude33 @Breedlove22 Cause he built a following and got massive clout not cause he smashed his face

[Stack Hodler @stackhodler]

Young guns: You cannot mog with shortcuts

hammering your face, peptides, etc.

all nonsense

Mogging comes from true confidence.

And true confidence comes from results that were earned.

Results that prove to YOU that you are that guy without a shadow of a doubt

Women sniff it out immediately

Build your body, mind, and bank account in your 20s and you will naturally mog more than you could imagine in your 30s

[Stack Hodler @stackhodler]

@oudude33 @Breedlove22 mogged way before peptides

Decades of proof of work built his bas

Peptides amplify. Now he's a giga mogger

Nerd on peptides with no proof of work is just a giga nerd

The fat guy that gets fit from hard work and discipline gains massive aura

It's 2032

You wake up next to your beautiful wife

Quick dive into the Aegean before pulling a doppio from the La Marzocco

The sun dries the salt water on your skin as you lay on the teak deck

You sip your espresso and you ask yourself... How did I get here?

What you do today in 2026 determines the answer

I always had big dreams.

I wanted to provide my family with a top class standard of living.

But I never wanted to work in an office.
I wanted control over my time.
I didn't want a boss.

And I wanted to be wealthy while I still had my peak health.

Many would call those unrealistic goals

And on the default path they definitely are.

But by setting those filters I quickly realized that the only way to make that happen was to

- own equity in my work (be the founder)
- apply maximum leverage (code, posting online, etc.)
- focus on multi-bagger investments

Ask and ye shall receive

Let yourself dream, create a vivid image of the life you want, and then ask if the path you're on gets you there

If not, switch to a path that gets you there

There's never been a better time to reinvent yourself

And there's never been more opportunity for those who seek it

Be grateful to past you for all the blessings you enjoy today

And be generous to future you by choosing a path that makes your time on this earth memorable

I'll be on that yacht 6 years from now.

Follow me and we'll do it together.

One asymmetric opportunity at a time.

@marcsg03 That's beautiful, thank you for that offer, cap 🫡

The sovereign debt bear market continues

Since this post:

Bitcoin +274%
Gold +116%
US10Y 3.4% -> 5.3%

Some things are obvious before they happen, but they still take a long time to play out.

The world has tons of inertia

What takes a second for one person to understand, can take years for everyone to understand

But like a great man once said... "It's Just math"

[Stack Hodler @stackhodler]

The last time we had a long-term bear market in bonds was 1960-1981.

Gold went up ~1,800% during that period.

Today: Central banks artificially held rates at 0% for years. Countries are in debt to their eyeballs. Might be a good time to stack some hard money gold & #Bitcoin

[Stack Hodler @stackhodler]

@ArchieX__ Yes. Good genetics, decades of hard work and good decisions at play here

@chrisbach Thank you 🙏🏼

@xbtfast Thanks man

[Stack Hodler @stackhodler]

You won't need as much wealth as you think.

But only if you understand this one idea:

Tech deflation is coming in hard and fast.

- Robots will be farming, manufacturing, etc.
- There are massive economic incentives to make energy abundant
- Super smart AIs will work around the clock to solve our remaining problems

I see a lot of smart people assuming this means that everything is going to plummet in price.

Even @elonmusk said he expects prices to fall on a recent podcast

He's right, but only if you price things in Gold or Bitcoin (or equities) - NOT the dollar.

The existing monetary system cannot allow prices to fall in dollar terms for a simple reason:

No one can service debts if prices start falling.

Imagine a business takes out a $1 million loan because they think they can sell $2 million worth of widgets and service the debt

But what happens if prices fall and they can only sell $500K worth of widgets?

They can never pay back that $1 million loan

Multiply that across the entire economy...

Banks collapse, savings go with it, lending stops, etc.

That will not be allowed to happen.

That's why even though we've made incredible tech advances, a Big Mac is 46x more expensive today than in the 1950's.

Our monetary system requires inflation and debasement of the currency unit

So as tech advances faster and faster there will be MORE debasement, not less.

Everyone must realize:

EVERYTHING WILL GET CHEAP IN GOLD AND BTC TERMS

BUT NOMINAL PRICES WILL CONTINUE TO RISE AS THE DOLLAR DEBASES

ASSET PRICES WILL MOST LIKELY CONTINUE GOING PARABOLIC WHEN MEASURED IN DOLLARS

If you understand this, you just save in gold / BTC, invest in quality equities, and get wealthier in real terms over time as tech innovation goes exponential.

Explain this concept to your friends and family now.

It's the only way to stay ahead of what's already happening.

Note on the chart: Performance of BTC, gold, and US treasuries (priced in gold) since October '23 when treasury secretary Janet Yellen capitulated by quietly shifting more US debt issuance into short term t-Bills instead of long term treasuries. Why did she do that? Because the market was telling her there weren't enough buyers for long term US debt.

That was the signal that the jig was up. And that hard assets were the only rational move.

[Stack Hodler @stackhodler]

@Tanmedia seek out asymmetric opportunities

when you're putting effort into something... ask yourself:

"Does this even have the potential of getting me where I want to go?"

If no, then change your focus

[Stack Hodler @stackhodler]

- talk to many people in real life, no agenda just good vibes. Men and women. Amazing how many doors this opens.

- build discipline and get instant respect by getting fit from calisthenics / heavy sandbags

- build a following on X / Youtube / Insta (distribution)

- invest heavily in AI + robotics + Bitcoin (obvious future)

- found a company related to real world experiences, wellness, community, robotics, energy, investing, etc.

wouldn't focus purely on software at this point.

- move to the right place depending on what you're aiming for. SF for AI / robots, somewhere beautiful for IRL maxxing, etc.

Underlying is still the same as always...

- own equity in what you're working on
- buy quality assets
- build relationships with the right people
- create value for people at scale
- become a better version of yourself
- enjoy your limited time here

focus long term
