Executive Summary
Market Consensus: NVDA's AI dominance is unassailable, stablecoins are regulatory nightmares, and Google lost the AI race. Variant Perception: Tether's 95% margin business with 500M users represents the most profitable financial infrastructure play since Visa's IPO. Google's TPU-only Gemini 3 training signals the beginning of NVDA's margin compression, while Burry's depreciation thesis misunderstands modern AI economics. The real alpha is in the picks-and-shovels: Unity for 3D infrastructure, Google for vertical integration, and the coming stablecoin oligopoly that will mint the next generation of financial titans. Chamath's dinner with Tether's CEO revealed a $10B+ annual profit machine that makes traditional banking look like a charity.
