Pompliano: Bitcoin will hit $100,000 by the end of 2021
“I think that from now where we're recording this in April of 2020, I think that by the end of 2021, we'll see Bitcoin hit a 100,000 dollar price point”
Pompliano: Bitcoin will protect corporate purchasing power better than cash over 10-20 years
“I think it is riskier for a company to sit with five hundred million dollars in US dollar cash on their balance sheet than five hundred million dollars worth of Bitcoin. And the reason being that or maybe the one clarifier is if you have a long-term oriented p…”
Pompliano: Evidence for human-driven climate change is not compelling
“It is obvious temperatures are changing. Things are in some cases getting better, in some cases getting worse, but the evidence of human driven change is not nearly as compelling as many people think.”
Pompliano: Corporations seek bailouts because the government is an idiot investor
“And so I think you know, Mark Cuban and I see eye to eye completely on this, which is the reason why corporations are running to the government is because they believe that the government's the idiot in the room.”
Pompliano: Wall Street capitalists become socialists during crises
“All the capitalists on wall street become socialist in times of crisis.”
Pompliano: US Dollar Will Lose Global Reserve Status in His Lifetime

Pompliano: US shifts to wealth redistribution while China focuses on wealth creation
“Now we're getting more from a capitalist society, switching more to socialist. We're doing more wealth redistribution than wealth creation. And what you're seeing is a lot of wealth creation and not a lot of wealth redistribution happening in China and other c…”
Pompliano: Stock-to-flow models are more accurate for Bitcoin than gold
“What you see is a lot of these stock to flow models and co-integration models, et cetera, that are used in gold. Apply to Bitcoin and are actually more accurate in Bitcoin because one side of the equation is transparently known with 100% certainty and all you …”
Pompliano: Demographic diversity is the best early-stage portfolio construction strategy
“If you can get the diversification of founders, you also get the diversification of thought, perspective, industries, experiences, et cetera. And we think that's the best way to or the best way for us to build an early stage portfolio today.”
Pompliano: Historical data shows check size and follow-on decisions don't drive returns
“The only thing that correlates to outsized returns across different economic boom and bust cycles is being early in the best deals, right? So check size doesn't matter. Follow-on decision-making doesn't matter.”
Pompliano: VCs who promise post-investment help are the least likely to deliver
“My alarm to every founder is the more a venture capitalist says, I'm going to be helpful after we invest, there's usually less likelihood that they will be helpful, right?”
Pompliano predicts Series A and later venture returns will compress to 15%
“Now, what we've seen over the last decade or so is so much capital coming to the market. Maybe there's been an incremental increase in the number of good companies created every year, but it's not kept pace with the amount of capital. And so my thought process…”
Pompliano: Bitcoin price will probably rise as halving cuts supply amid ETF demand
“The Bitcoin halving is coming, and that's just when the daily incoming supply, the number of Bitcoin that get created each day, is gonna get cut in half, from 900 Bitcoin to 450.
So like, I always joke, if you went to Economics one-on-one class, supply and de…”
Pompliano: Autonomous driving will make road line-striping businesses exponentially more valuable
“These like line striping or line painting businesses are going to be exponentially more valuable in the future because as self-driving becomes prevalent on the road, governments are going to mandate that the roads are painted more often so that the cars from a…”
Pompliano: Manufacturing certain drugs in space may be cheaper than on Earth
“And then the second thing is if they're able to do this correctly, it actually may be cheaper to do some of this in space than it is on earth.”
Pompliano: Solana will outperform Bitcoin and Ethereum this bull market
“I think Solana is going to go up a lot.
It's going to go up a lot more than Bitcoin.
I think it's going to go up a lot more than Ethereum in this specific bull market.
Cause it's a smaller market cap.
There's a lot of energy and excitement around it and all th…”
Pompliano: Sold 100% of his Ethereum to buy Solana around $65
“Instead, what I did is I bought a little bit of Solana at 48 dollars.
It started to go up a little bit more.
And usually when that happens, people are like, oh, cool.
I was right.
Instead, I doubled the bet at 55.
Like the position is going in your favor.
And …”
Pompliano: Andrew Tate's viral content tactics became standard marketing playbooks
“If you look at his tactics, they have pretty much become standard in a lot of people's like marketing today. And so people kind of like saw this guy be successful on the internet, get a message out. And now you have a bunch of companies and individuals that ar…”
Pompliano: Kim Kardashian will become US President one day
“I think she's going to be president of the United States one day.”
Pompliano: Startups will use computer vision to automate municipal fine enforcement
“So I think there's going to be an entire rise of businesses that just use computer vision to do the same thing. Like anything that can be automated will be automated rather than have humans with their lazy eyes walking around, just have computers that constant…”
Pompliano: Very Few One-Person Companies Will Ever Reach $100M in Revenue
“I don't think that we are going to see very many one person companies reach significant scale measured in nine figures of revenue.”

Pompliano: Fed printing trillions will eventually trigger an inflationary environment
