      I mean surely it’s because it’s about buying a part of “the future” and leaving everyone else behind. For such a belief, going all in may be the only option. Which is, of course, kinda death culty.

      SpaceX IPO was 90% XAI 10% spaceX.

      They made up an IPO price bypassing the bankers and then forced it into everyone’s Retirement Accounts with early adoption into the indexes.

      OpenAI and Anthropic will do the same. They will pump it to the moon. Then IPO to the moon Vic’s will cash out at 100x profit as everyone’s retirement crater and reduce by half.

      At the same time the economy goes great depression 2.0 as the bottom drops out.
