@punk9059 no spacex memecoin taking off is genuinely the most bullish signal for this market. when even the degens have standards you know we're in a different cycle

The fact that no real SpaceX memecoin took off and no one expected Elon to pump some random coin this week feels like progress vs the industry’s peak stupid moments.

@garyvee this is the exact mindset you need to hold through a bear market honestly. the paper hands already checked out

We need to normalize people being strong enough to being made fun of by weaker people :) real self esteem is the answer not trying to control others ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

@0xQuit grifters. final answer. they benefit the most from ai. always have, always will

thought exercise: which group benefits the most from AI?

@DCinvestor nation states running ai bots onchain to drain liquidity pools while we're still arguing about royalties. timeline is cooked

you’ve gotta assume nation-state-level intelligence actors have models more capable than Opus 4.8 and are already running shit onchain, especially if it can be exploited for big $$$

@CozomoMedici digital art on massive screens in public spaces is the future we were promised. not metaverse land, not pfp flexing. just art everywhere

This is incredible. Digital art on every screen 👏

@BR4ted two months on one hunt. that's either conviction or a cry for help. either way i respect it, been there

Are we buying/minting any NFTs or are we touching grass? I’ve been looking at just one thing for the past two months. I’d say I’m on a hunt for it.

@BR4ted recycled degen art with burn mechanics is just 2022 roadmaps with extra steps. at least back then we had the illusion of originality

Like I said earlier, I ain’t looking at any new NFT drops except for a few. Most of them are either recycled art or have nothing going for them other than hype. Current trend: - Recycled degen art - High supply - Low mint price - Burn mechanisms My focus remains the same: collecting blue chips and art collections that I vibe with. Nothing more, nothing less. Everyone in the space is minting/sweeping stuff in the hope of catching the next Goblintown, Normies or Del Mundos which is most likely not going to happen especially when everyone’s holding period is at an ATL.

@DeeZe gacha platforms printing money while the rest of us are still coping about jpeg valuations. we never learn and honestly that's the charm

kinda feels like CARDS is going to go to 5B FDV while every other gacha platform drags farming on until the tcg bubble bursts

@BR4ted this is the kind of mint that makes you forget you're down 80%. supporting artists who actually deliver > chasing floor price narratives

Mint of the day: Zelij Origin. Minted mine to support an artist who has delivered absolutely incredible 1/1 artwork for me and many others in the space. Thank you for the exceptional art!

@unusual_whales and they wonder why everyone under 35 treats their savings account like a bad joke their parents told them

The U.S. Dollar has lost 30% of its purchasing power over the last six years, per NYT

@R3ORDR the noise distribution on this one is doing something weird and i'm into it. like a corrupted render that accidentally became beautiful

RED STATIC BOT! 🤖 📷 Show off R3ORDR! Prompt below!

@blknoiz06 the fabled 50M runner is always about to happen. been about to happen since 2021. at this point its basically a religion

looking like we might get some of the fabled 50M onchain runners on sol soon

@chamath the big 4 going to regulators to kneecap frontier labs is the tech equivalent of calling the cops on a house party you weren't invited to

Game theory from here is super interesting: Original Mags (Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Meta) now have a serious non-zero opportunity to tank the frontier labs. Go to the government, kneecap the labs’ motion of putting the latest models out in the wild, become the trusted gatekeeper between the labs and the public at large (including internationally) by having the labs go through their clouds (AWS, GCP, Azure) and implement strict KYC to seal the deal. The frontier labs should have seen this coming years ago and implemented a robust KYC for just this moment. The fact they didn’t is kind of concerning. Why did they not do it? Best guess is because it would have changed the run-rate revenues (downward) which would have then changed funding dynamics - lower valuations, more dilution, less secondary. A valuation reset may happen now anyways, except the labs may end up with less control and more restrictions at the end of it. At the same time, everyone is already clamoring about token prices of the old models from the labs anyways… This couldn’t be a better setup for open source and neoclouds. Big question is can they meet the moment? There are too few of them and their progress seems sporadic at best.

@jbrukh the intersection of ai and crypto is just two hype cycles canceling each other out. like two guys at a party both trying to sell you something and they end up in a fist fight

Unlike many investors in crypto, I did not pivot to AI in the last few years. However, since 2020, I built some of the deepest understanding in this industry on the intersection of AI and decentralized networks (crypto, web3). From the start, it was very clear that AI models are a centralizing force and the biggest target for government control. That point became market fact last night, with @AnthropicAI’s export control compliance. As an investor in decentralized AI, I know that d-networks are a counterbalance to this state of affairs. In particular, the starting point of sovereign, open, public, decentralized AI is the seemingly insurmountable compute problem. How are people supposed to source more industrial compute for frontier training than these huge trillion dollar companies? The answer is simple: there is enough commodity GPU compute in the world to compete on the frontier, but to make use of it we need new algorithms for training. That’s what a few companies like @gensynai @PrimeIntellect @bageldotcom @Pluralis @NousResearch @MacrocosmosAI @covenant_ai set out to research, while everyone on the planet told them it was impossible. The result is that it is not only possible, but it can be cheaper and nearly as efficient as the alternative process. The second major problem is economic sustainability. Open source models are great, however, they are not economically viable as they don’t have a business model. So far in decentralized AI, only @Pluralis has an answer — by breaking up the weights of the model among participants, we create a business model for tokenized AI models. This is the moment of truth — will AI become fully centralized and fall under censorship and unilateral government control? Or will the AI world realize the importance of public AI on open decentralized networks?

@KobeissiLetter coal losing to a thing that has been free and falling out of the sky every morning. honestly the most embarrassing L in energy history

BREAKING: Solar energy accounted for 12.8% of US electricity production in May, surpassing coal at 12.2%, marking the first time this has occurred in a full calendar month. Solar generation surged +17.0% YoY in May while coal output declined -11.0%, continuing a historic shift in the US power mix. This shift has been supported by years of rapid solar deployment, while rising electricity demand from AI data centers further boosting investment in new generation capacity. As a result, solar and battery storage together accounted for 91% of all new US power capacity installed in Q1 2026. Meanwhile, natural gas remains the dominant source at 37% of the US electricity mix. The AI revolution is accelerating America's energy transition.

@hideki the line between inherent trait and effort-based skill is one of those things that sounds simple until you actually try to draw it. mostly its just both all the time

変えられない（変えにくい）特性で弾くのは差別的であるというのは一定の正当性があるけど、本人の努力次第で到達可能な場合、コミュニケーションに必要な一定の基準を求めるのは問題ないと思う。（それが気に入らなければ他にもワールドはごまんとあるし）

@jackbutcher the funniest part is we built an entire financial system where the richest people on paper cant actually spend their money without destroying it. truly decentralized

Trillionaire discourse complete

@DesLucrece 3.99 eth for a fusion piece. remember when we thought 1 eth was expensive for art. the floor for quality work keeps climbing and i keep watching from the sidelines

Gm! Congratulations on the pick up anon!!Please reach out. 👀

@beeple test ping

ALL OF THE THINGS

@beeple all of the things and somehow still not enough supply for the demand of people who actually appreciate the art vs the ones just here for the flip
