Oil made Rockefeller rich.
Steel made Carnegie wealthy.

Now, Wall Street has chosen its next industry to monopolize:

WATER.

Here’s how they’re turning the most essential resource into their next monopoly and the alternative no one talks about: 🧵
First, context:

Across America, pipes are failing.

Every 2 minutes, a main bursts.
6 billion gallons of treated water vanish daily.

Meanwhile, droughts and climate shocks are draining reservoirs.

Water scarcity is the new normal. Image
Image
Wall Street smelled blood.

In 2020, California launched the world’s first water futures market.

For the first time, investors could bet on water like oil.

The Guardian warned: “Private speculation on water scarcity is here.”
Private equity piled in.

They buy utilities and water rights.
“Fair market value” laws let them outbid cities, forcing sales.

Once Wall Street owns the pipes, families are trapped.

Cancel Netflix? Sure.
Cancel water? Impossible. Image
The result?

MIT found nearly 1 in 3 U.S. households already struggles to pay water bills.

That’s 40 million Americans on the brink of “water poverty.”

And unlike fuel or streaming, you can’t cut water.
You pay, or your tap runs dry. Image
Image
This isn’t economics, it’s water poverty.

2M Americans lack running water, while the poorest towns pay the most.
The fix? Flip the model.

Do the OPPOSITE of a monopoly:
Investors profit from treating wastewater, not billing families.Done right, Wall Street becomes the solution. Image
Why? Because unlike tech, water has no substitute.

When Wall Street controls the pipes, they control life itself.

That’s the ultimate “non-substitutable asset.” Image
But here’s the misconception.

Privatization ≠ selling water sources.
That’s a disaster, think Nestlé hoarding aquifers.

Utilities should deliver fresh water.

Businesses must treat wastewater, the true burden crushing cities.
That’s where Water On Demand flips the model.

We put micro-utilities at industrial + farm sites.

Polluters pay to clean what they use.

Cities get relief.
Families avoid exploitation. Image
The U.S. faces a $1.26T water gap in 20 years.

40M Americans risk water poverty.

Wall Street profits from scarcity.

But there’s another path, one that protects families while creating real assets for investors. Image
Our model at @waterondemand is simple.

- Investors fund the equipment
- We build decentralized water systems
- 20.3% projected annual returns with debt leverage & 100% bonus depreciation

Secured. Inflation-protected. Real. Like oil wells, but with water. Image
Every $100000 invested can restore 1.4 million gallons of water EVERY YEAR.

With projected IRRs better than oil and gas, real estate, and solar.

The future runs on water!
I’ve secured early access, before institutional capital floods in.

The first $20M of accredited investors also receive founder’s shares in Water On Demand Inc.

This is infrastructure for the people.

The Colorado River powers over 16 million families, 5 million acres of farmland, and $1.4T in economic activity.

In 2025, it’s collapsing at an ALARMING rate.

Since the government and media won't show you.

Here's the story of America’s deadliest ticking time bomb... 🧵 Image
Stretching 1,450 miles, the Colorado powers the Southwest.

• It supplies Phoenix, LA, San Diego & Denver.
• It irrigates 90% of America’s winter vegetables.
• It lights up Las Vegas through the Hoover Dam.

Lose it, and the American West shuts down.
The stakes are massive.

Colorado supports 16 million jobs in farming, real estate, energy, and tourism.

If Hoover Dam fails, it won’t just be crops at risk. It’s homes, businesses, and entire economies.

This is bigger than any oil shock in history.

Cathie Wood just made the boldest prediction of her career on DOAC:

“These 5 industries will grow by 5000% and create the largest wealth transfer in human history.”

Trillions will go to a tiny group of people.

Here’s who gets rich—and how you can capitalize: 🧵 Image
Who is Cathie Wood?

She’s the founder of ARK Invest, managing nearly $30B in assets.

She predicted Tesla’s 4,000% rise before most had heard of Elon.

Now she’s betting her entire thesis—and fortune—on a new wave of technology.

Her prediction? Image
5 innovation platforms could collectively grow 50x in the next decade.

If she’s right, it would 10x global GDP and rival the Industrial Revolution.

The kicker? You don’t need billions to benefit.

Here are the 5:

I’ll expose the darkest secrets about the US water infrastructure.

Every 2 minutes, a water main breaks in America, with 6 BILLION gallons of clean water LOST daily.

This crisis is worse than ever.

Since the media won’t tell you, here’s how our system got so BROKEN: 🧵
In 1977, the federal government funded 75% of water infrastructure projects.

Today? Just 9%.

This collapse in funding created the perfect storm for entrepreneurial disruption.

But to understand the opportunity, you need to see how we got here...
America has 2.2 million miles of water pipes.

The median age? 45 years old.
Some pipes still in use date back to the 1800s.

Every mile costs $1 MILLION to replace.

Do the math: that's $2.2 trillion just for pipes alone. Image

How Brian Chesky scaled Airbnb was wild:

No 1-on-1s. No annual plans. No "employee autonomy."

Silicon Valley called him delusional. He built an $81 billion empire. Brian was right. Everyone was wrong.

Welcome to the contrarian playbook of Founder Mode: 🧵 Image
Image
Late 2019: Airbnb was drowning in its own success.

- Bureaucracy spread.
- Growth stalled.
- Politics grew.

The company that disrupted hospitality was becoming just another corporate machine.

He'd done what every "smart" CEO does: Image
Image
• Hired experienced executives
• Let them run their departments
• Stepped back to be "strategic"

Different teams were pulling in different directions with endless meetings about meetings.

This billionaire criticized China's government. Then he suddenly vanished.

When he returned, he had lost:
• $40 billion
• His powerful voice
• Control of his billion-dollar company, Alibaba

Here's the strange disappearance of the Chinese Jeff Bezos: 🧵 Image
Jack Ma was worth $61.7 BILLION in October 2020.

By 2021? Down to $22.8 billion.

He lost more wealth in 3 months than most countries' GDP.

All because of one speech that changed everything...
October 24, 2020. Shanghai.

Jack Ma stepped up to the microphone at the Bund Summit.

What he said next would cost him EVERYTHING.

"Chinese banks operate with a pawnshop mentality."

The room went silent.

In 2013, this Nigerian billionaire set out to build Africa's largest oil refinery.

Cost: $23 billion
Deadline: 3 years
Critics: "Impossible"

10 years later, he pulled off one of the most impressive infrastructure plays in history.

How it all happened blew my mind: 🧵 Image
By 2013, Aliko Dangote had already conquered cement.

His Dangote Cement dominated 15 African countries, worth $20 billion alone.

But Nigeria, Africa's largest oil producer was importing 90% of its refined fuel.

Dangote saw what others missed: Image
Image
The numbers were staggering:

• 650,000 barrels per day capacity
• Larger than all US refineries built in 30 years
• 4,500 football fields in size
• Would process 15% of Africa's oil

Cost estimate: $9 billion.
Actual cost: $23 BILLION. Image
