> Thiel had 2 big successes, those being Facebook and PayPal How easy it is to brush aside two of the largest tech successes of the last 20 years!

  facebook was 17 years ago. What about since? If you cannot adjust to the times or if your new advice is bad, it does not matter how good your prior successes were.

    At the risk of breaking the rules, what recent successes do you have that are in any way close to Facebook or PayPal that makes you able to give advice?

      I am more interested in # of successes and consistency, than size of successes. A lotto winner is a huge success but is is reproducible? Likely not. I recommended tesla stock in 2013, Facebook 2012, bitcoin 2013, was bullish on stocks in early 2020 during Covid, etc.

  Two of the most beloved tech companies at that!
