My Investing Beliefs and Thesis: - The world is moving towards an ownership economy - Individuals increasingly seek direct ownership and participation in value creation, both in traditional and digital economies - The United States will remain at the forefront of technology and consumerism for the foreseeable future but diversification is important - Store-of-value assets will always chase an idea or dream. The concept of value is inherently tied to collective belief and the pursuit of future potential. - Tokens representing real ownership and protocol value accrual will be exponentially more valuable than those that do not. In the long term, such tokens will derive their value as a multiple of protocol revenue. - Leverage, when combined with diversification, can deliver outsized returns with lower risk, volatility and max drawdowns My Ideal Portfolio Based on This Thesis 1. Diversified US equities, with select international exposure and private equity bets 2. SOL, the dominant decentralized asset in terms of captured blockchain revenue (measured in terms of REV): Hold and stake SOL—currently the only sufficiently decentralized asset that scales and also dominates blockchain revenue. 3. Hold META (metadao), the only platform where token holders have true exposure to value accrual from emerging unicorns 4. BTC, Gold, and some minimal amounts of High-Quality REITs as true Stores of Value: I believe Bitcoin, gold, and select high-quality real estate investment trusts represent the only universally recognized stores of value—proxies for digital, physical, and land-based wealth. 5. Overlay alternative investment strategies on top of core portfolio. Integrate strategies such as trend-following, carry trades, managed futures, merger arbitrage, and QIS for a overall effective portfolio weight of 120%–140% 6. Enter All Assets at Undervalued Prices: Maintain discipline in valuation—only invest when assets are trading below your perceived intrinsic value Cautions for self: No 1 and no 4 are probably overvalued right now.
