Anthony Pompliano claims he adopted bitcoin before traditional financial institutions and is now doing the same with artificial intelligence alongside Silvia. He asserts that banks and RIAs will eventually catch on, but his group will remain ahead.
Background
- Anthony Pompliano ("Pomp") is a prominent Bitcoin advocate, investor, and co-founder of Morgan Creek Digital, an asset management firm. He frequently tweets about Bitcoin outperforming traditional finance (Wall Street, banks, RIAs / Registered Investment Advisors).
- This post is a typical Bitcoin-native boast: early adopters consider themselves ahead of slow-moving incumbent financial institutions, and Pompliano applies the same framing to AI investing via his new venture with @cfosilvia (Silvia, his co-founder).
- "RIAs" = Registered Investment Advisors, a regulated US financial advisor designation. "Too late" refers to the belief that institutions will only enter a space after the largest gains are already captured.
- The "gang of misfits" language echoes a common crypto community identity: outsiders vs. the establishment.
