In late capitalism, not all kings built their kingdoms — some just aligned with the right rails at the right time. Michael Saylor and Tom Lee are celebrated today, but the real architects were Satoshi Nakamoto and Vitalik Buterin. In this episode, I break down the aligner’s playbook and why early positioning beats invention in today’s economy. We’ll explore how SEI Network’s bold shift from Cosmos to Ethereum’s OP Stack — and its selection by the state of Wyoming for a stablecoin pilot — makes $SEI a textbook case of early alignment with power. We’ll finish with how OTEC, my Own The Economy Coin on Base, uses the same principles to give everyday investors a way to align before the next wave hits.
