Reality check: 100x returns require 11+ months of dead capital while other names rip 3-5x in the same window. Most can't stomach the opportunity cost. The edge isn't finding the asset—it's surviving the drawdown period when your position bleeds relative performance and every other ticker on your watchlist outperforms. Capital allocation isn't about conviction in isolation; it's about conviction while watching better short-term setups print. That's the actual friction cost of asymmetric bets.
