1000x

This week, we go deep on how careers and capital actually get made. We discuss how Jordi Alexander built Selini from a poker table, why table selection is the single most important decision you'll make, an insider's account of how Goldman Sachs anoints its "Illuminati" and what it takes to get there, why Jonah took a shot at the king and missed, why Ken Griffin says the alpha has been squeezed out of short-term trading and megatrends are what's left, the complete flows framework for Bitcoin and why there may be nobody left to sell, the Avi vs Jonah standoff on whether crypto is a buy here, the Clarity Act and why it probably won't pass, and what crypto was actually supposed to be. Enjoy!

Recorded live at the Selini Summit in Cannes, Avi sits down with Jordi Alexander — founder and CIO of Selini Capital, former professional poker player, and one of the sharpest minds in trading. We discuss why crypto's "great filter" washout is actually healthy, why retail has disappeared from crypto, how Selini is now trading SpaceX and equity IPOs using the exact same playbook they learned in crypto, why passive flows always end up holding the bag, the leverage lessons from the October 10th liquidation cascade, where a crypto market maker still has edge over the Jane Streets of the world, the first principle of all trading (you're always exchanging risk for expected value), and the casino economy of variance, dopamine, and why you should never trade from your phone. Enjoy!

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!

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.

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!
