Avi sits down with Ari Paul. His former boss, founder of BlockTower Capital, and one of the sharpest minds in crypto, for a wide-ranging conversation on what's next. We discuss why crypto was the easiest table in finance and why that edge is gone, why the best people left crypto for AI, why Ari believes "Mythos is a military project" and the labs are heading for a Los Alamos-style lockdown, why the AI data center boom rhymes with the 1990s fiber bubble, where AI value actually accrues (why you might short Accenture but not Visa), why one person with an LLM can now do the work of a whole team, how Ari is using LLMs and neuromodulation to hack his own health, and why we may be at peak chaos in the Fourth Turning. Enjoy!

This week, with portfolios sitting at all-time highs after the best NASDAQ quarter since 2020, we ask who's coming for the market in Q3? We deep dive into why that gut feeling means it's time to rotate not sell, the fundamentals vs flows debate and why sell-side analysts are structurally guaranteed to keep underpricing AI demand, why Micron at 7.5x forward earnings still isn't a bubble, why a strengthening dollar is the real threat to your assets, why Bitcoin has been co-opted by Wall Street and how to walk out of the crypto cage, the HOOD trade and taking profits like a CTA, the megatrends hiding beyond AI in real estate and collectibles, and the best career advice for the AI era: find your niche. Enjoy!

This week, with NASDAQ down 3% and the AI trade showing cracks, we discuss where you actually hide. We deep dive into when technical analysis actually works, why you have to ask "how did you make your money" to understand the AI trade, why the answer is hiding downstream where AI changes the real economy, the 13-year-old's portfolio and whether the top is in, why the memory trade still isn't saturated, the socialism trade and what a 2028 blue wave means for your assets, why Bitcoin and everything without revenue is cooked, why the coming Saylor blowup will be the trade of a lifetime, and the Avi vs Jonah debate on whether you should actually buy AI biotech. Enjoy!

In a short solo Juneteenth stream, Avi breaks down what's next now that the SpaceX IPO and the Fed meeting are behind us. We discuss why the market shrugged off a hawkish Warsh presser, why Mag 7 is lagging the semis it's funding, why layoffs are actually bullish, why inflation is showing up everywhere from a $14 smoothie to the struggling bottom half, why Michael Saylor using ChatGPT to structure STRC is a problem, why the Iran deal was a win for Iran, and the two megatrends to spend your weekend researching: AI-powered biotech and the coming nuclear revolution. Enjoy!

This week, recorded live in the 30 minutes before the Fed decision, we discuss whether rate cuts are dead and what to watch from Kevin Warsh. We deep dive into why a full-blown war with Iran barely dented the market and what could actually tank it, Jonah's journey from Berkeley communist to Republican, why you should collect the gold coins before the level ends, the idea journal and how billionaires actually trade, why SpaceX is a low-float meme coin and you have to play the game of flows over fundamentals, why an ocean of oil is bearish for inflation, why Bitcoin has lost its way and what disdain Avi needs to buy it, and why the Iran deal is just a pause before the next flare-up. Enjoy!
