honestly been sitting on this for a while before posting but here it goes
the robotics space is at an inflection point that most people are completely missing. everyone's talking about AI, everyone's talking about SpaceX, and yeah those are real - but both are essentially priced in at this point. you're not getting in early on anthropic. that ship sailed.
what's NOT priced in is humanoid robotics. figure and apptronik are the two serious US players and their combined valuation was sitting below cardano six months ago. cardano. a chain that has been a ghost town since 2020. let that sink in for a second.
now i'm not here to tell anyone what to buy but
$BOT (robostrategy) has been on my radar for a while and the thesis is actually pretty clean. it's essentially a vehicle that gives you pre-IPO exposure to these companies with actual liquidity - no 7 year lockup, no being stuck at a 60% discount if you need to exit. that alone separates it from most VC-adjacent plays retail ever gets access to.
the NAV premium people complain about is based on last year's funding rounds. figure and apptronik are raising again, probably sooner than most expect, and those rounds are not coming in lower. when that happens the math on
$BOT flips pretty fast.
robotics hasn't had its ChatGPT moment yet. that's the whole point. when it does, and it will, the window you had to position beforehand is gone. every major bull run has that one sector where people look back and say "it was so obvious." i think this is it for the next cycle.
not financial advice, do your own research, all that. just think more people should be paying attention
