Daily Reminder: Adoption doesn’t happen with new products, ETFs, BTCTCs, “exposure” thru an intermediary, etc… It happens three ways: - Education that sticks between the ears - Repetition as a medium of exchange - An authority tells you it’s “ok” The last one is the wrong way

Least-favored sons of billionaires and royals make perfect honeypot targets: rich enough to matter, insecure enough to manipulate, and eager enough to be pulled deeper into elite circles.

More than 40,000 people in multiple Southern California cities are playing a dangerous game of wait-and-see on Friday after officials warned a leaking toxic chemical tank at an Orange County aerospace facility would inevitably fail and potentially explode.

“You’re an idiot Axel, we don’t have capitalism, we became a socialist country…” So we should start burning it all down then? “Well, no, look at the GDP and the Dow is over 50,000 and the S&P…” So… you’re ok with socialism as long as it benefits you? “…I hate you Axel…”

A wide-ranging conversation on Bitcoin, Strategy, volatility, conviction, and why there is no second best. $BTC $MSTR $STRC
MR SHIFT 🦁@KevinWSHPod

E172: @Saylor: Why Hard Work Won't Make You Rich Michael Saylor is the chairman of @Strategy - the world's largest corporate holder of Bitcoin with over 840,000 BTC and $65+ billion deployed. He bought his first Bitcoin in 2020 when the Fed cut rates to zero hasn't stopped since. With WSH, I always want to go much deeper than the current narrative and that’s exactly what we did here. We gradually moved past the surface and into the things that really shaped Michael. We talked about his childhood, growing up in a military family, buying domain names in the 1990s and flipping them for tens of millions, losing $6 billion of his net worth in a single day during the dot-com bubble, his great Apple bet in 2012, why working hard won't make you rich, why you should mortgage your house but probably not sell your kidney to buy BTC, why "THERE IS NO SECOND BEST", and a lot more. The conversation lasted more than two hours, much longer than originally planned, and it was just amazing. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Timestamps: 00:00 - Intro 03:05 - Explain what you do to an Uber driver 05:35 - Advice for Rick, the struggling Uber driver 07:07 - Who is Michael Saylor? 11:02 - Sponsors @Trezor & @Bitwise 11:48 - Kevin's Business Intelligence Company 13:14 - Michael's childhood and chip on the shoulder 17:56 - Has Michael conquered the world yet? 19:49 - Just because you can, doesn't mean you should 28:23 - Sponsors @KASTxyz & @sumsub 30:02 - Low time preference and scarcity 43:50 - Buying and flipping domain names for tens of millions 55:11 - Bitcoin is a lifeboat 1:01:31 - Should you mortage your house to buy Bitcoin? 1:09:50 - The great $60B in Bitcoin bet: risks 1:15:32 - Sponsors @JupiterExchange , @ethena 1:16:16 - Sell the kidney if you must but keep the Bitcoin 1:20:14 - What's the endgame for Strategy? 1:28:16 - Where does Bitcoin price end? 1:29:36 - Where would Bitcoin price be without Michael Saylor? 1:31:06 - What is STRC? 1:35:34 - Should my mom put her life savings in STRC? 1:37:12 - How do you always invent new ways to buy more Bitcoin? 1:49:19 - From God to Madman every 6 months: handling insane volatility 1:51:49 - How Michael lost $6 Billion of his net worth in one single day in 2000 and then watched MSTR go down another 99% 1:59:09 - Why Michael doesn't have children 1:59:44 - Why working hard is the worst advice you can get 2:07:37 - Why THERE IS NO SECOND BEST, there is only one crypto asset 2:15:03 - Thanking Michael from the whole crypto industry

NY Times: Caltech professor says the chemical in the tank in Garden Grove "could produce a very large fire that would have to be extinguished with special foam, or perhaps even launch a large fireball into the air." nytimes.com/live/2026/05/2…

Release the Epstein files in full. The public already knows children were trafficked, abused, and protected by powerful people for years. So ask yourself: what is the DOJ still hiding that could possibly be worse than what’s already public?

Is oil expensive? Took an oil contact for breakfast at (admittedly, overpriced) restaurant in London's Mayfair. Two coffees; two orange juices; one yogurt and granola; one eggs and salmon. The bill came at £75.9 (~$100). A barrel of WTI wouldn't cover it. #PrebischSinger

🦔Microsoft canceled its internal Claude Code licenses this week after token-based billing made the cost untenable, even for a company with effectively infinite cloud resources. Uber's CTO sent an internal memo warning the company burned through its entire 2026 AI budget in just four months. American AI software prices have jumped 20% to 37%, and GitHub (owned by Microsoft) is dropping flat-rate plans for usage-based billing across its products. My Take The AI subsidy era is ending in real time. The same company that put $13 billion into OpenAI and built the Azure infrastructure powering most of Anthropic's compute just looked at the bill from a competitor's coding tool and decided it was not worth paying. That is not a productivity failure on Anthropic's end. Token-based pricing is forcing every enterprise customer to confront the actual cost of running these models at scale, and the number turns out to be far higher than the flat-rate experiments suggested. This ties directly to my Gemini Flash post yesterday. Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google all raised effective prices in the last six months. Enterprises that built workflows assuming AI costs would keep falling are now watching annual budgets evaporate in months. Two outcomes look likely from here. Either enterprises scale back AI usage to fit budgets, which slows the revenue ramp the labs need to justify their valuations ahead of IPOs, or the labs cut prices and absorb the losses, which makes the unit economics worse at exactly the wrong moment. Both paths land in the same place, the numbers stop working, and somebody has to take the writedown. Hedgie🤗

@CyrusNoVirus @thomas_mullee Are you guys kidding? This has to be a joke, right? You think sending your bitcoin to cold storage is MORE risky than leaving it on the exchange?

@AdamSimecka 99% of the people you’re addressing don’t see it any different than an equity to be traded. That barrier happens before self-custody

Psychologist Erich Fromm who defined the term malignant narcissist called people like Andreessen necrophiles—not as a sexual fetish but the obsessive desire to turn the world into a lifeless machine that’s easier for them to understand.
