Threadguy joins us to talk about his evolution from dropping out of college to write NFT threads to leading the new generation of crypto media. We explore the "Believe" fiasco, the reflexivity of meme coin cycles, and his transition into high-conviction macro trading like his recent oil plays. Threadguy shares insights on the societal trend of taking risks online and whether the explosive manias of the past can ever truly be replicated in a maturing market.
