I Missed Bitcoin at $10. I’m Not Missing This.

I used to think I was smart. Then Bitcoin happened.

In 2013, I tweeted — publicly — that Bitcoin was a scam. A Ponzi scheme. I said no one should touch it.

And then a friend of mine — an actual genius— called me up.

“Meet me in New York,” he said. “I’ll explain it to you.”

We sat for hours. Over coffee, over sushi, over cold air in the East Village. He walked me through everything. The whitepaper. The code. The use cases. The philosophy.

By the end of the day, my brain had melted.

But I got it.

I went all in. I was the first author to sell my book for it exclusively. I told people about Bitcoin on CNBC. The anchors looked at me like I was pitching them magic beans.

My genius friend was right. Bitcoin is now over $80,000.

And here’s the punchline: I just made the exact same mistake with quantum computing.

Quantum Broke My Brain… Again

At first glance, I thought it was nonsense.

The last time I’d heard this much hype, it was about Segways replacing cars.

Then I spoke with guys actually building quantum tech. Not ten years from now. Now.

They flipped my brain again.

Because quantum computing isn’t just a new kind of computer. It’s a new kind of thinking.

These machines aren’t faster. They’re something else entirely. Parallel universes of processing. Trillions of times more powerful than what we’re used to.

That kind of power doesn’t just move the needle — it breaks the gauge.

Suddenly, medicine gets rewritten. Financial systems evolve. Cybersecurity gets disrupted. Disease detection. Protein modeling. Military defense. Material science. All of it.

So here’s what I’m doing: using AI to detect the best opportunities in quantum.

My AI Detection System

There’s a $1 billion company almost nobody is paying attention to.

It’s small. It’s weird. It’s in the business of hybrid chips — the kind Nvidia desperately needs if they want to lead the future of AI.

(And, as Chris mentioned yesterday, Elon Musk and Nvidia are battling it out.)

That’s where my AI system comes in.

It’s the same AI-powered signal detector that flagged 84.7% of the biggest buyouts in the last five years — before they were announced.

It doesn’t look at headlines.

It looks at the anomalies under the hood — legal filings, IP transfers, hiring patterns, options activity, cash positions, supply chain shifts, dark pool trades. Stuff no one bothers to notice… until it's too late.

And recently? It lit up like a Christmas tree on this obscure quantum company.

When that happens, I pay attention.

It means, if Nvidia — or Musk, or Microsoft — wants a quantum edge…

They might have already made the call.

The last time it fired on a company this small, investors who acted quickly had the chance to make 2,350%… 5,133%… even 7,100% in less than a week.

Now, I'm not saying this is guaranteed to be another moonshot.

But when you see what my research is saying about Nvidia — you've got an opportunity with real asymmetry.

This might be the rarest window we’ll get in 2025. The overlap of quantum, AI, and one tiny company right in the crosshairs.

I missed Bitcoin in 2013.

I’m not making that mistake again.
