markets are a beautiful thing. IPOs used to be about raising money. but once private markets were allowed to supply that capital, the alpha naturally got captured. now the IPO is the exit for privat money, and the starting line for a kind of public utility.
A 1999 IPO investor in NVIDIA still holding today turned 8,200x.
If a SPCX IPO investor were to make 8,200x within 27 years, SPCX market cap would be 14.514 quadrillion — or 145x the current global M2 money supply.
