If you had invested $1000 dollars in Amazon 20 years ago, it would now be worth $540,000.

It's not possible as you can't predict the future. Venture capital firms invest in a large number of companies. Invest a million dollars in 20 companies, in 19 of them you lose all your money but one of them returns a hundred million dollars. It's all asymmetric, if you're consistently making money you're doing it wrong.

That's a dumb take, all it takes is for someone to come along and provide a service better than Amazon and suddenly Amazon becomes worthless. Amazon did it to brick and mortar retail, someone will come along and do it to Amazon, let me know how "valuable" your company is then.

If the number of shorts is less than the number of issued shares, you have no protection from the freefall that happens once all of the shorters have covered their position.

Thorough investigation and reasoning whether a company is overvalued is helpful, but increasingly every company is being overvalued.

what is true is entirely predictable (but not everything predictable is true). the following is the truth.

mental models.

the curious drive of the founder. the boundless energy of the founder. the endless suffering of the founder. the optimistic contrarianism of the founder. founder working with those with high intelligence, high energy, and above all high integrity.

network effects = infinite capital leverage, labor leverage, intellectual leverage, and curiosity leverage via internet via network effects (again).

what doesn't count: macroeconomics, politics, top-down leadership, authority, consensus via academics and via society.

so-called "fundamentals" is the relic of the banking era, and banks and fundamental-seekers look for what's safe. but the problem is that everything new is strange, and what is inherently unsafe, and everyone working on this strangeness is by definition unqualified (because it is new).

Consistent money making means you're investing in companies that are doing well already in the present or very near future.
Venture capital investing is about getting in on the rare company that will blow up and become the next Microsoft or Google.
You don't expect to be making regular decent money up front with VC. You expect to cover a wide range of possible future success explosions so hopefully one blows up and you get paid for it while everything else you invested in predictably dies with little to no return.

The other, boring way is to start young and keep putting money into investments that COMPOUND faster than the inflation rate, at the highest reliable percentage yield. After 10 or 15 years, the shocking thing is the mathematical way compounding curves your weallth upwards, and the invstment yield becomes more important than your contnuing contributins.
But while doing this, don't LOSE MONEY -- that sets you back years.

Bezos and his wife worked hard for decades, based on their original (to me, boring) idea about Internet-based mail-orer. For decades he told his investors: Don't expect profits soon --- if you want that buy something else. So they played the "long game". For most of that time he was not flamboyant or seeking to rub shoulders with Hollywood types, or the like, or an attention-hog. No megayachts. He was serious about Amazon.

Recently, though, he left his wife and started hanging with celebrities and enjoying his fame and wealth-reputation. He attracts tech-stars now and their sycophants. He has a girlfriend. Unti Musk creeped up, Bezos was the world's richest man. Both of them have unconventional, interesting space ambitions, and other interesting projects.

It was the original insight plus decades of earnest work that built Amazon.

It's worse than zero, and worse than Monopoly (TM) money, because maintaining the BitCoin system requires vast amounts of electricity and fuel burning every day, especially for computers doing the computational make-work part (for mining).

that was post dotcom bubble so the price of amazon was depressed.

I would say that in the future it is very unlikely that you will be able to purchase any sort x100 let alone x500 investment on an open market. The number of publicly traded companies continues to trend downward and small business formation will keep declining into infinity.

I would instead just track a trend. For instance, I think in the next 5-10 years human trafficking is going to be gigantic. I'm going to invest my money in temporary staffing companies, interstate bus lines, remittance providers and pay-by-minute cellphone carriers. Motel 6 might also be a good option. Your results may vary.

The beauty of it, and I think this is missed a lot with u.s.-centric persepectives on Palantir, is the greater need for such products in many countries, the relative lack of alternatives, and the sheer quantity of alternative markets.

A product that monitors citizens, provides easy data utilization to combat crime/terrorism, and in general a soft-surveillance is invaluable to many many countries, and will prove to be even more valuable in the future as climate-driven refugees surge, and population-replacement immigrants become increasingly necessary.

palantir's value isn't in those products, palantir's value is in identifying government revenue streams and then being able to monetize them for a government. Anti-terrorism or defense purposes are just a way to get the camels nose under the tent.

Listen to Adam Back (Satoshi) on youtube. It's digital gold. In fact, within the grounds of techno-capitalism, bitcoin is BETTER at being gold than gold itself.

You pretty much can't. Amazon of 20 years ago was an online bookstore worth maybe a million. It has expanded and changed directions numerous times before it became what it is again.

Also, most of Amazon's value these days comes from AWS which wasn't a thing until 2006 and didn't really pick up until 2010s. These days the store is a net negative and just a huge advertisement for Amazon's other ventures.
