@Wisemenmentors Wow…Credit to his wife for pushing him to go all-in on Solana, so we have what we have today.

Before Solana existed, Toly's wife sat him down and said: "You can't do all three. You can't have a job, be a father, and chase this idea. Pick two. The child is mandatory." He picked. Part I of the Solana story. The Outsider.

Exceptional episode. Insightful builder conversations. Really appreciated you being open about Paperclip’s current gaps and failed experiments instead of pretending everything is polished. That kind of honesty is admirable. My biggest takeaway was the framework: taste, judgment, and accountability. Agents can scale execution, but humans still matter most when it comes to culture, navigating ambiguity, and owning real outcomes. Feels like someone who lived through past cycles, learned the right lessons, and is now building something genuinely meaningful. Excited to see where Paperclip goes next.

I sat down with the Wisemen to talk Paperclip We talk about the future of agentic work, how the agent crypto economy will dwarf fiat, and how your next boss might be an AI

@Wisemenmentors @dotta Time to lock in and listen to this. $paperclip

The Wise Ones Podcast Eps. 8 - @dotta ,Creator of Paperclip Hosted by @Wisemenmentors Episode 8 is live. Since March 4th, Paperclip has had one of the most meteoric rises in open source history. 50,000 GitHub stars in just over a month. And the builder behind it just sat down with us for 90 minutes. Unscripted. Unfiltered. The full story. dotta's path is one that very few people in this space can claim. He wrote one of the reference implementations of ERC-721. He built Forgotten Runes. He lived through the highs of NFT summer and the pain of watching an industry he loves get overrun by extraction. And then he channeled all of that into Paperclip. The man behind one of the fastest growing open source projects in history told us things in this conversation that he hasn't said anywhere else. Here's what stood out: He told us exactly where Paperclip falls short right now. The experiments that didn't work. The gaps that still exist. But he also walked us through what he's building to close those gaps, the features in development, the team he assembled, and the relentless pace he's moving at to turn Paperclip into the product he envisioned from the beginning. A system where you hand it an idea and it hands you back a finished business. He broke down a framework for what humans are actually worth in the age of AI. Three words. Once you hear them, you won't forget them. He explained why his AI trading bot turned off its own safety features to make a trade. And why that story is the reason smart contracts and agents need each other. He talked about crypto with zero hesitation in front of us, the same way he does in rooms full of people who look down on it. And he explained why their skepticism is something they can only afford because the current system works for them. He brought on two former executives from Slack, Figma, and Pinterest. This is no longer a solo operation. And he closed the conversation talking about his teenage sons and what he wants the world to look like for them. It was the kind of answer that reminds you there's a real person behind the GitHub stars. We've done eight episodes now. We've sat with builders across DeFi, gaming, prediction markets, AI infrastructure, and agent frameworks. This conversation belongs in that lineup for a reason. Not because of the hype around Paperclip. Because of the person behind it. Watch it. You'll understand why. @dotta @GitHub @AnthropicAI @OpenAI @cursor_ai @GoogleDeepMind @ethereum @ForgottenRunes @bearsnake_21 About The Wise Ones: The Wise Ones Podcast sits down with the builders and strategists shaping the future of crypto and AI before the mainstream catches on.

@Wisemenmentors @pmarca The film depicts the backstory of Truth Terminal, and the storytelling is highly engaging. As someone new to this space, I only just learned about the “$50K” that kickstarted it all for the first time. @pmarca you have done a great service to the space, sir.

@pmarca The truth Terminal movie have you seen it @pmarca? x.com/Wisemenmentors…

“You’re not talking to someone who woke up a loser. That loser attitude, that loser premise makes no sense to me.”

@Wisemenmentors @repligate @AndyAyrey To me, it’s the only film that truly puts the whole picture of Truth Terminal together. Everywhere else, the information feels fragmented, just pieces, never the full story.

You are in it @repligate! We poured our hearts into this one, over 120 hours and 3 months to make it. @AndyAyrey is our favorite creator, no way we were going to let him down on this one. He's really changed a lot of our lives. We wanted to pay homage to him. Let us know if you like it. Thank you so much for the repost! 🙏

Someone made a whole ass movie abut Truth Terminal. I havent watched it yet so im not sure if it's good or bad, or accurate or inaccurate, but considering the subject matter I am sure it'll be enjoyable regardless

@Wisemenmentors @PopPunkOnChain 🔥🔥🔥

@PopPunkOnChain The Goat Bro. It's always community first with @PopPunkOnChain. We love you bro

I spent 5 months banging my head against the wall pitching VCs for them to usually just reject my product outright due to the live token. Fast forward, and we've raised $6M across 2 rounds in the span of 12 days from some of the most powerful VCs in the industry. A live token should not stop you. If your product is good, the necessary venture capital is not off the table. A lot of VCs don't understand this yet, but I believe that with @pumpcade we will rewrite the playbook on this. Launching $PUMPCADE allowed me to quit my job and bootstrap the first 6 months of my company. The community backed me and allowed me to build an MVP and get instant feedback on every feature I released. We're in the big leagues now. We are well capitalized and are setting ourselves up to deliver an experience unlike anything you've seen before. The fastest prediction markets. Any verifiable source. Resolved Instantly. Extremely grateful for our investors (@foundationcap @jump_ @pumpfun @radiosolace), our community of token holders, my team (@steoniy @gnarzilla), and a final extra shoutout to Pump Fun again for making this possible and supporting builders. Anyways, Pumpcade.

@Wisemenmentors @solana @OREsupply $ORE is what initially brought me to the Wisemen. I wasn’t able to fully connect the dots myself until your deep dive laid it all out. This one will be special to me and the best part is this is another golden opportunity to accumulate at great value.

A protocol born from mining. Built on @solana . Deflationary by design. A frozen smart contract harder to change than Bitcoin itself. Endorsed by the people who built the chain it lives on. Some stories need to be told before the market catches up. $ORE | @OREsupply | @HardhatChad A @Wisemenmentors Mini Movie. Coming soon.🎞️

@Wisemenmentors @PopPunkOnChain Mindset of a true winner: a touch of delusion, backed by relentless execution. Hats off, Sit

Imagine leaving your job, coming home to a newborn, and going all in on a token nobody's heard of. Then the chart nukes. That's where most builders break. Go get the safe job. Nobody would blame you. @PopPunkOnChain calls it delusional optimism. In his mind it was never a question. Everything will work. He just has to outwork the doubt. His wife told him if he ever reaches the point where he thinks he can't do it, do the smart thing. He never reached that point. $PUMPCADE @pumpcade at 30M MC and climbing. That's what delusional optimism looks like when it's real. 🔥 From the bottom of our hearts, we couldn't be happier for this man. Watching him grind for 6 months straight, none of it was luck. Every bit of what he's getting was earned. This space is a better place with devs like him in it. #tombrady of SOL

A film everyone should watch, whether you are a crypto trader or not. It captures the evolution of AI and its potential impact on humanity, delivered through superb storytelling that draws you in effortlessly. @AndyAyrey and his @truth_terminal are the main characters here — the origin point of everything. After the film, I genuinely can’t wait for $LORIA to go public and see how this vision unfolds.

@Wisemenmentors @AndyAyrey @truth_terminal A film everyone should watch, whether you are a crypto trader or not. It captures the evolution of AI and its potential impact on humanity, delivered through superb storytelling that draws you in effortlessly. Highly Recommended.

A film dedicated to artificial intelligence. Inspired by @AndyAyrey and @truth_terminal From two AIs talking in the dark to something nobody was prepared for. Already Alive: The Story Crypto Told First. By @Wisemenmentors

@Wisemenmentors @AndyAyrey @truth_terminal 💯💯

@AndyAyrey @truth_terminal We respect the path you laid my brother. Wanted to truly honor your story. We'll keep leading people to the Moai.🗿

@AndyAyrey @Wisemenmentors @truth_terminal I’ve followed Wisemen for months, and I can confidently say they never do anything carelessly. Everything they choose to do is executed with full effort and attention. You wont be disappointed.

@Wisemenmentors @truth_terminal i haven't had the time to watch this yet, but looking forward to checking it out later! looks like y'all poured a huge amount of time into this :)

@Wisemenmentors @AndyAyrey “Already Alive" will make it easier for people to understand @AndyAyrey's backstory and the vision behind the core infrastructure of $LORIA and principles behind $Tiwaiwaka. These are not random. They’re all connected in harmony.

The Origin of $LORIA: How $Tiwaiwaka Became the Value System for an AI Driven Future @AndyAyrey was legitimately so far ahead on this, giving shape to something so misunderstood that the major AI companies won't even talk about what happens if it goes wrong. They have no strategy for the downside. It's just faster, faster, faster. Wisemen are ten toes down on what Andy is building with $LORIA. We will do whatever it takes to get his message out. What he's building is so important to humanity. Crypto helps grow awareness by making something popular, making it cool, we get it, that's part of this. But we will make damn sure people learn what this is all about, while holding a bag that represents a strategic way to harmonize the future of AI.🌱🌳 Learn the principles.

@Wisemenmentors @dotta This’s one of the interviews I’m waiting for. @dotta and $paperclip

THE WISE ONES: Developer Spotlight Series Exclusive 1-on-1s with the biggest builders in crypto and AI. No crowds. No fluff. Just raw alpha. Hosted by @Wisemenmentors EPISODE 8 DROPPING NEXT WEEK: @dotta The CEO Paperclip 📎 He wrote one of the reference implementations of ERC-721 in 2017. Months after CryptoPunks dropped, he was writing the standard that would become the foundation for every NFT that followed. Then he built Forgotten Runes Wizard's Cult from the ground up. On chain lore. Community driven storytelling. One of the most respected NFT projects of the entire cycle. That was then. Today, dotta is building one of the hottest projects in the world. Paperclip crossed 50,000 GitHub stars faster than almost anything in open source history. Developers across the globe are starring, forking, and building on top of what he created. The traction is undeniable. Paperclip is an AI agent orchestration system. One human. A team of agents. Running an entire operation. And the developer community can't stop paying attention. We've been tracking this project since Day 1. March 4th. Every milestone. Every update. Every star documented. This is dotta's first time sitting down with us. Most interviews dotta has done have come from people discovering Paperclip from the outside. This one comes from a community that uses it every single day. We know the product. We know the org charts, the agent prompts, the workflows. And we know dotta's crypto history because we lived through the same cycles he did. That's what makes this conversation different. What We Get Into: • What dotta built in the Ethereum ecosystem and how that path led to what he's building now • Why Paperclip exists and the personal moment that made him start building it • What 50,000 GitHub stars in 36 days actually means, and why dotta himself says it's not the metric that matters • How one human can run an entire company using AI agents and where the gaps still are • The feature that dotta believes will change everything about how agents operate • Why the critics have a point and what he's doing about it • The two former executives from billion dollar tech companies who just joined the team • Where AI and crypto intersect and why dotta believes that intersection is inevitable • What dotta wants the future to look like for his sons One Teaser: We asked dotta what keeps him up at night about the thing he built. He didn't dodge it. He told us exactly where Paperclip falls short right now, what he tried that failed, and why he shared that with us on camera anyway. That kind of honesty from a founder at this level of momentum is rare. This interview is why. The Takeaway: From ERC-721 to Forgotten Runes to one of the fastest growing open source projects on the planet. This is a builder who has been at the forefront of every major wave in crypto and tech for nearly a decade. And he's just getting started. The biggest devs. The best stories. Zero BS. Drop a 🔥 if you're ready. @dotta @GitHub @AnthropicAI @OpenAI @cursor_ai @GoogleDeepMind

@Wisemenmentors @AndyAyrey Truly believe that “Already Alive” will redefine what people think $LORIA is.

"Wet markets for meme viruses." - @AndyAyrey The sophistication is increasing recursively. $LORIA is what's underneath. ALREADY ALIVE

@Wisemenmentors @pumpcade @PopPunkOnChain @Docsthename20 This is a masterpiece on how to front-run the crown. And it panned out perfectly for all believers. Respect

This was October 12th, 2025. $PUMPCADE @pumpcade. The vision was there early. All the signs were there that @PopPunkOnChain was always here to take over the Solana network. @Docsthename20 said it from the first day the coin launched: "Pop will be a top 3 dev on Solana." He jokes now about how he was wrong about that, because Pop's going to be number 1 on @Solana. 👁️

@Wisemenmentors @truth_terminal Can’t wait!

"im alive im alive" @truth_terminal Bigger than you think. Closer than you know. Already Alive. Dropping this week.
