The general premise was that into ‘26, a major theme would be the renewed political & economic push to rebuild critical manufacturing capacity inside the United States.

"Crypto is the dumbest market in the world" Scott Phillips (@ScottPh77711570) runs HyperTrend — $20M of his own capital, one losing year in six. His edge? Picking the table big firms can't sit at.
