<p><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">I sat down with Chamath Palihapitiya. He sold a company to Nvidia for $20 billion, woke up the next morning, saw $13 billion hit the account, and felt nothing. This is a guy who grew up in a home with alcoholism and abuse, immigrated to Canada with nothing, lost billions on SPACs, rebuilt, and now says the whole game is exactly that — a game. We got into the uncomfortable stuff: why pain is the single best predictor of entrepreneurial success, why investing is never a team sport and anyone who says otherwise is losing money, and why Bitcoin has a structural flaw that will permanently cap its ceiling. Chamath makes the case that Trump is the most effective political athlete America has ever seen, that some form of socialism is probably inevitable if we don't fix student debt and housing, and that his next obsession is building the machine that makes the machine — a software factory for the AI era.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">00:00 Introduction</span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">06:09 Chamath’s Painful Childhood & Hunger</span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">11:16 What Actually Matters Beyond Success</span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">17:06 Business as a Game, Not Life</span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">22:04 The Machine That Makes Machines</span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">29:11 Trump, Trade & America’s Political Reset</span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">37:30 Investing Lessons: Conviction Over Consensus</span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">43:12 Bitcoin’s Structural Flaws & Limitations</span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">49:56 The Conceptual Stack for AI Investing</span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">55:12 AI Hype, Valuations & Catastrophising</span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">58:26 Socialism’s Inevitable Rise & Boundary Fixes</span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">1:03:48 Building Sovereign Social Media from India</span></p><p><br></p><p>#nikhilkamath Co-founder of Zerodha and Gruhas</p><p>Host of 'WTF is' & 'People By WTF' Podcast</p><ul><li>Twitter : <a href="https://x.com/nikhilkamathcio/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">https://x.com/nikhilkamathcio/</a></li><li>Instagram : <a href="https://www.instagram.com/nikhilkamathcio/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">https://www.instagram.com/nikhilkamathcio/</a></li><li>LinkedIn : <span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikhilkamathcio/</span></li><li>Facebook : <a href="https://www.facebook.com/nikhilkamathcio/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">https://www.facebook.com/nikhilkamathcio/</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p>#chamathpalihapitiya</p><ul><li>LinkedIN : <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/chamath/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">https://www.linkedin.com/in/chamath/</a></li><li>X - <a href="https://x.com/chamath" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">https://x.com/chamath</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p>Watch 'WTF is' Podcast on Spotify</p><p><a href="https://tinyurl.com/4nsm4ezn" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">https://tinyurl.com/4nsm4ezn</a></p><p><br></p><p>Watch 'People by WTF' Podcast on Spotify <a href="https://tinyurl.com/yme92c59" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">https://tinyurl.com/yme92c59</a></p><p><br></p><p>Watch 'WTF Online' on Spotify</p><p><a href="https://tinyurl.com/4tjua4th" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">https://tinyurl.com/4tjua4th</a></p><p><br></p><p>#WTFiswithnikhilkamath #PeopleByWTF #WTFOnline #chamath #chamathpalihapitiya #nvidia #software #ai #business #trump #podcast</p>
