. @TThompson says basketball taught him to back founders who will do whatever it takes but know when to pivot
“I think the beautiful thing about sports is that you learn about people’s strengths and weaknesses. It’s no different than investing in a company”
“I invest in great founders that will do whatever they can to achieve greatness, but also still have some sense of reality when to pivot”
“That’s what makes guys like LeBron, Kobe, Steph Curry so good. They’re able to adapt to the game changing as decades progressed”

This week, I’m releasing a 40-minute conversation with @TThompson - NBA champion and venture investor.
Tristan was never the most gifted player in his matchup. He just refused to let anyone outwork him, and he’s bringing that same rule to his ventures.
We talk about:
- How the “never get outworked” mindset carried over from the NBA to early-stage investing
- Why he says the best founders will jump off the Golden Gate Bridge to win
- How much he actually believes in Bitcoin, and his call on BTC to $1 million
- Why he sees Bitcoin as digital gold and a savings account
- What he thinks of $ZEC and the privacy narrative
- Why he holds $SOL and how he uses @JupiterExchange to stake it
- Why physical AI matters more to him than LLMs
- Why creativity is the one thing he believes AI can’t replicate
And much more...

“This is EXACTLY how their team was when they won a championship.” 🍿
@TThompson and David Fizdale heap praise on the Toronto Raptors ahead of the 2026-27 NBA season.
Another all time high
My thought on $MPC
Marathon buys crude oil, then turns it into gasoline & diesel, then profits from the difference between what it pays for oil and what it sells those fuels for (crack spread)
With the Strait of Hormuz closed, fuel supplies are limited so margins go up
—> Every $1 increase in margins
means ~$1.1B in annual earnings
—> That spread has widened by $19
So when $MPC climbs when crude oil barely moves, you know why
Since original portfolio post crude oil is up 2% and $MPC: +20%
Time to watch @TexasFootball give a spanking to OU
Remember OU Sucks!!
All International flights should have mandatory starlink. It’s about to be 2027. We have robots doing our laundry, cars driving us and humans aging backwards.

Tristan on how far down the degen rabbit hole he's gone
"I'm definitely trading. I mean, I'm in a couple of longs right now. I think I just opened the $NEAR long. So I got my wallet open right now while I'm speaking, just looking at the charts."
"When the Robinhood came out, CashCat, I bought that around 20,000,000, saw it run up. Took some profit at 120, and then it got to about 175, 200, took some profit again."
"So I dabble onchain a lot. I find it fun. I guess because I don't feel like flying to Vegas, I just brought Vegas to me. On my phone."

Rich Paul is GOATED 🐐
How do you turn a $38 MILLION deal into an $82 MILLION deal?! 😳💰
Yep… Rich Paul was behind that move.
Rich Paul broke down how he helped make it happen despite NOT being Tristan Thompson’s agent, while Tristan Thompson gave his side of the story alongside Draymond Green on the Draymond Green Podcast.
That’s some elite-level negotiating. 🐐💼
