What they said, on the record.

“I think it can be done in thirty years, provided there's an exponential increase in tonnage to Mars with each successive transfer window every two years.”

“I think that we might have AI smarter than any single human at anything as soon as next year. And probably by 2030, AI is smarter than the sum of all humans.”

“So the phones that are able to use the spectrum that was acquired probably start shipping in around two years.”

“Your car is going to feel like it is sentient by the end of the year.”

“We're finalizing the design of AI5, which will be an immense jump from AI4. By some metrics, the improvement in AI5 will be forty times better than AI4.”

“I think the marginal cost of production once you hit a million units per year is probably around the twenty thousand dollar range.”

“we're not going to have our AI, you know, try to convince people that it should be like in an exclusive romantic relationship with them, for example.”

“the API business grew faster for us this year than even ChatGPT.”

“we are going to again fail in 2026 to meet demand.”

“We'll triple our compute again next year, hopefully again after that.”

“I would expect new models that are significant gains from 5.2 in the first quarter of next year.”

“I'm imagining in about four or five years it's going to be 80% autonomous vehicles.”

“we think that Tesla's solution from a cost point of view will be 50% lower than Waymo's and therefore it will be able to charge less.”

“we expect Tesla to be the biggest winner from a platform point of view. Waymo will be second.”

“So by 2030, I think we're going to enable everyone who's in reasonable health today to intercept breakthroughs that will add an additional 20 or 30 healthy years of life.”

“you're going to look up and see, you know, Bitcoin at $250,000.”

“To me, this is the area for #Bitcoin to hold. Little sweep of the recent low before the push upwards. If this doesn't hold, $77,100 and $76,400 come into play. If this does hold, next leg up for #Altcoins is in the making and we'll see $82,700.”

“The Tate Brothers are almost certainly NOT going to be granted bail”

“The Tate brothers will lose their bail battle”

“Next year we will experience the true AI bubble peak, and then the market will reward hyperscalers who defect by decreasing CAPEX budgets.”

“This will ultimately drive Bitcoin to one million and beyond.”

“I will say, with confidence, that this will not spiral into a new major pandemic.”

“by 2030 I think it's very likely we'll see a 300,000 and 400,000 dollar Bitcoin”

“I expect a good 2026. For token prices like Bitcoin and Ethereum, there's likely to be continued momentum macroeconomically with better monetary policy and increased adoption of tokenized assets. McKinsey said 3% of cross-border payments happen in stablecoins today, up from zero, and I expect a 10-fold increase from that.”

“Stablecoins are here to stay and will grow 10-fold. Prediction markets are here to stay and will grow 10-fold. For public market exposure, it's either base layers like Ethereum and Bitcoin or companies like Circle.”

“What I think is the most likely outcome for altcoins is honestly, I still think that alt-Bitcoin pairs might fall in again and form a low. But I think they're going to do what they did last cycle, where they just kind of consolidate down at these lows for a year and a half.”

“I don't think you'll have a massive rotation in the altcoins that leads to an alt season.”

“October was the four-year cycle top. It's just that the bleed is more like the 2019 style bear market.”

“Bitcoin is gonna drop into the summer of 2026.”

“So I think in next year is really when Bitcoin can sort of begin to recover and the 200,000 level makes a lot of sense to me.”
