  A $500,000 check written in 2004 turned into more than a billion dollars by 2012. The same man watched his own hedge fund fall from $7 billion to about $350 million. His name is Peter Thiel. He is 58. He co-founded PayPal in 1998 and sold it to eBay in 2002 for $1.5 billion. Two years later he became the first outside investor in Facebook, taking 10.2 percent for half a million dollars. Then Clarium Capital, his global macro fund, peaked above $8 billion in 2008 and posted three straight losing years. Investors who stayed lost 65 percent from the peak. By 2011 the fund held roughly $350 million. So the man teaching you how to think about competition has been on both sides of being wrong in public. The framework fits on a napkin. Perfect competition destroys profit, so build the thing nobody else can offer. Start with a market small enough to dominate, then widen. Look for proprietary technology ten times better than the alternative, network effects, scale economics, and a brand people ask for by name. Value the last mover, not the first. "Competition is for losers." That is the title he put on a Wall Street Journal essay in September 2014, adapted from the book he wrote out of a Stanford class he taught in 2012. A student named Blake Masters posted his notes from that class online for free, and the notes went viral before the book existed. at the board it's simple. one company sold for $1.5 billion, one check compounded two thousand times, one fund down ninety-five percent from peak assets. the same brain produced all three. no magic. concentration into an idea almost nobody shares, held long enough to be measured. here is where it lines up with every founder reading this. you already know your product is a slightly better version of something people already buy. you will still call the crowded market validation, raise on comparables, and describe five competitors as proof of demand in the same deck where you claim to be different. the class notes are free. the essay is free. this talk is free. what nobody can sell you is the willingness to answer his actual question in writing: what important truth do very few people agree with you on. That willingness is the edge, and it costs an honest page, not another pitch deck.

  I still do not see the use case for Bitcoin. It's not secret once your public key is known as all transaction history is visible in the blockchain. From a utility standpoint, I already have electronic money used in everyday transactions. It's called PayPal. With border guards now routinely unlocking and searching peoples mobile devices, the idea that you can cross borders and take wealth with you secretly is an illusion, too. The scarcity argument is also a straw man. Just because something is scarce doesn't make it intrinsically valuable or useful. Folks point to the value of a "proof of work" or the energy consumed in "mining" bitcoin. This would be like saying that a table is more valuable because someone sanded it by hand instead of using a power sander. Just because it's hard doesn't make the outcome more valuable. I've interviewed many Europeans who survived WW2. What was valuable in war are gold and diamonds. In SHTF with the grid and networks down, how are you going to exchange that Bitcoin without access to the blockchain server network? Bartering in gold, silver, ammunition or other things of value will be more useful.

  You spent $2,000 on a MacBook Pro for a new hire. Then $180 a year on the Microsoft 365 seat, $60 on Adobe, $144 on Slack, $240 on Zoom. All assigned to one laptop, one employee, one desk. Then your CFO asked how many of the 400 laptops in this company are actually being used, and by whom. You opened the Google Sheet. Half the rows were blank. Employees who left six months ago still had assets assigned. So IT called ServiceNow. ITAM Standard is $100 per user per month. Professional $150. Enterprise $200+. The median ServiceNow contract on Vendr is $124,364 a year. Implementation runs three to five times the license fee. Then IT called Lansweeper. $239 a month for 2,000 assets. Then IT called Freshservice. $19 per agent, then metered on every asset over 500. You are paying six figures a year to answer "who has laptop DELL-4471" in 2026. Now meet Snipe-IT. A free and open source IT asset management platform that runs on your own server and tracks every laptop, phone, license, and cable your company owns. No cloud. No agents. No per-seat fee. Built in 2013 by a developer named Alison Gianotto who was the CTO of a New York City ad agency when the office had to move. Her team was tracking hundreds of laptops in a Google Doc. She tried every commercial and open source tool. None of them worked. So she wrote her own. When she finished the first full inventory, she discovered the agency was missing $25,000 in assets. Her husband nagged her for months to add a PayPal button. She finally did it. Two days later she had a paying customer. Snipe-IT itself stayed free. 14,113 stars. 3,886 forks. AGPL-3.0. Pushed to the repo today. Here is what Snipe-IT gives you: - Track every laptop, phone, monitor, cable, and accessory in one place - Assign assets to users, departments, or locations with full history - Software license management with seat tracking and expiration alerts - Barcode and QR code generation for physical labels - Custom fields, statuses, and categories - LDAP, SAML, and Google Workspace SSO - REST API for every endpoint - Runs on any Linux box, Docker, or a $5 VPS Here is what Snipe-IT costs: Zero. Forever. No per-user fee. No asset cap. ServiceNow charges $100 per user per month. Snipe-IT doesn't. Lansweeper charges $239 a month for 2,000 assets. Snipe-IT doesn't. Freshservice meters every asset over 500. Snipe-IT doesn't. Ivanti and Flexera hide their pricing behind a sales call. Snipe-IT doesn't. Here's the wildest part: Snipe-IT is used by Sony, Yale University, Fujitsu, and thousands of school districts, hospitals, and government agencies that couldn't stomach a $124,000 ServiceNow bill. Alison's official title at Grokability is Chief Mohawk Officer. For a 50-person IT team, you save $60,000 a year. For a 500-person company, you save $600,000 a year. Your assets. Your database. Your server. 100% Open Source. (Link in the comments) Must Follow @iqtauhid For More.

  MORE THAN most people are comfortable admitting. And the 2FA point is where it gets genuinely alarming. Most people use their email as the recovery method for every other account they own. That single design decision turns email access into a master key. The attack sequence takes minutes. Email access means password reset on every account that sends recovery links to that address. Your bank. Your PayPal. Your Amazon with saved payment methods. Your Apple ID or Google account which controls your phone backup, your photos, your contacts, and every app you have ever downloaded. Your social media. Your cloud storage. Your work accounts if you ever linked them. The 2FA bypass is where people feel falsely safe. Most 2FA implementations send codes to your phone number or email. If the attacker controls your email they intercept email based 2FA codes directly. For SMS based 2FA they request a password reset, which sends a link to your email, which they already control. Phone based 2FA often has an account recovery option that routes back to email when you cannot access your phone. Your email is not one factor in a chain. It is the root of the entire tree. The accounts with the most damage potential reset through email without ever touching your phone. Crypto exchange accounts. Investment platforms. Domain registrars if you own a business. Hosting providers. The average person has their email connected to somewhere between 100 and 500 accounts accumulated over years of internet use. Most of those accounts were created, briefly used, and forgotten. They still exist. They still have saved payment methods, personal information, and access to things you stopped thinking about years ago. One password. One inbox. Everything else follows. The fix is treating your email account as the most critical credential you own rather than the least. Unique strong password generated by a password manager. Hardware security key as the second factor specifically for email, not SMS, not push notification. A separate recovery email that no one knows exists and that you never use for anything else. Your email is not a communication tool. It is the administrative console for your entire digital life.

  PayPal held $9,500 of a nonprofit's donations for 21 days in 2023. No explanation. Just a reserve, a login screen, and a support queue. Your $25 gift can sit in that same queue.

  Issues with Paypal have been resolved. But unfortunately several members that pay via Paypal and had a renewal due over this period lost access. Please check your DMs on Whop for steps to get back in. Those who have regained access please make sure to reclaim the indicators from the indicator access section to regain access to them on TradingView. Please make sure to join back in to save your spot and not join the waitlist queue should you decide to join back later. Apologies for any inconvenience this has caused.

  SITUATION EXPLAINED: Aschenbrenner's letter to investors: full responsibility, no more leverage, staying in public equities. • The letter went out last night, he takes "full responsibility," and says the fund will no longer borrow from banks to magnify its bets • It will keep operating in public equities, not converting into a private fund as people had speculated • He compared the dynamics to a bank run, and partly blamed short sellers targeting the fund's positions • New from the FT: when Intel reported strong earnings and its stock unexpectedly fell, the aggressive seller was reportedly Aschenbrenner, covering losses on Bloom Energy and SanDisk • By Wednesday he had stopped taking investor calls, and was talking to Jane Street, Millennium, and Citadel instead • He reached a deal Wednesday night to sell $3.5 billion of his Anthropic stake to a consortium led by Greenoaks and Sequoia, then backed out Thursday morning • Greenoaks and Sequoia both led Anthropic's $65 billion Series H at a $900 billion valuation, a round Situational Awareness itself invested in • Despite all of it, the fund is still up 80% on the year, and 1,551% since founding less than two years ago • Plenty of big names have blown up worse and recovered: Paul Tudor Jones nearly quit after cotton losses, Bill Ackman wound down his first fund in 2002, Musk was ousted from PayPal before Tesla and SpaceX nearly went bankrupt @theojaffee: "People are getting way too negative about Situational Awareness now. Situational Awareness is fine. Leopold Aschenbrenner is fine. If it literally went to zero, he's still a generational talent and he would do very well regardless."

  South Carolina, Angela T. Kohl, the 55-year-old Georgetown woman who served as the trusted executive director, sole paid staffer, and bookkeeper of Kids’ Chance of South Carolina, is accused of systematically looting more than $118,000 from a charity whose entire purpose is putting kids through college or trade school after their parents were killed or permanently disabled on the job. Investigators say that over an 18-month stretch she made dozens of transfers from the nonprofit’s accounts straight into her personal PayPal while working from home. When the board finally noticed the missing money and confronted her, she claimed she knew nothing about it. A few weeks later she resigned, citing vague “health reasons.” Georgetown County Sheriff Carter Weaver’s office then audited the books, found the trail of transfers, and arrested her Friday on charges of breach of trust with fraudulent intent (over $10,000) and first-degree computer crime. This is not some abstract accounting dispute. Kids’ Chance of South Carolina exists to help children who already lost a parent to a workplace tragedy. Donors, lawyers, insurance carriers, employers, ordinary people, gave money specifically so those kids could go to school. Kohl, the person they trusted to manage those funds, is alleged to have treated the account like her personal ATM. If the allegations hold, this is one of the colder betrayals imaginable, pocketing scholarship money meant for orphans and half-orphans of dead and broken workers, then feigning ignorance and walking away citing “health.” There is no softer way to say it.
