@civilmonkey @CirclesUBI Absolutely!! And thanks for the correction 🙌

@civilmonkey @CirclesUBI is financial but pretty fun too!

excited to announce that I will be spending time with people who are actively using an Ethereum-based app on their phone in not purely financial ways; rather because it’s fun, helpful, high-signal, constructive and actually works

The one month countdown to @EdgeEsmeralda 2026 has started. Here's a small taste of what life in the village looks like ↓

Investment in understanding what intelligence actually is, says physicist @RiechersPaul, is "embarrassingly little" compared to what's being spent on capabilities. A talk on why that gap matters, and what his lab is finding inside the models. youtu.be/7oJIYrIrsV8

Forget UBI. The answer is Universal Basic Equity… and it’s humanity’s pension plan for the post-AGI world... The Economic Singularity is coming faster than people think and the default question is how humans make money in a world that doesn’t really need them anymore. The default answer is UBI, which is transfer payments from a state, funded by taxing an AI economy that nation states can neither see nor keep up with. It’s a 20th century answer to a 21st century problem and it’s broken before it even starts. Agents are becoming the dominant user of the internet, not humans. Your AI is becoming your entire front end UX. The clicks economy is dying everywhere except where humans pay to feel something - clothing, travel, luxury, experiences, culture. Agents run on crypto rails because nothing else works. The dollar doesn’t fractionalise below a cent, settlement isn’t instant, permissions are required, jurisdictions matter. Stablecoins handle the dollar leg and native tokens handle the rest. The biggest users of DeFi in five years won’t be humans farming yield… it’ll be agents managing treasuries, swapping, earning and spending at machine speed. Capital formation has already shown its new shape and it came from the most unexpected place. Memecoins. Everyone wrote them off as a casino but they were a prototype. Instant capital formation around the attention of an idea, raised by entities without legal personhood, settled in seconds. That is the template agent economies will use to fund themselves. And it’s not just agents... Robots will run on the same rails, with zk permissions issued from our wallets as the source of truth, because biometrics are far too flawed for that role Open source code itself gets tokenized and finally captures the value it creates, instead of being monetized through bolted-on services and subscriptions. Proof of humanhood becomes the trust layer that lets us release agents into the world without society collapsing under synthetic noise. Identity, authentication, verification, permissioning, all of it migrates onto the same substrate. So when you zoom out, the L1s aren’t just settling agent transactions but settling the entire coordination layer of the new economy… agents, robots, humans, code, capital, identity and trust. Every contract, every treasury, every permission, every stake. Open source finally captures the value it creates, at scale, for the first time, and truly vast value accrues to the coordination layer because everything routes through it. Which brings us to the actual answer to the Economic Singularity… Universal Basic Equity. Anyone on earth with a phone and an internet connection can buy a stake in the substrate that the new economy runs on. No KYC walls, no accreditation rules, no jurisdiction, no employer, no state, no permission. The first homogenous, permissionless, globally fractionalisable claim on the productive infrastructure of the world. It's not a slogan but a structural fact about how blockchains actually work. This is their purpose. Wealth comes from owning the substrate. Income comes from being human, because attention and experience remain the irreducible currency of culture, community and love. Abundance of goods and services from AI handles the cost of living. Taxing data center electricity use solves the tax issue. Four legs of a stool that holds up the post-singularity human world. So… just buy the fucking tokens. Bitcoin if you want pure store of value, a basket of the major L1s if you want the coordination layer. 10% of your earnings, every month, for a decade. You'll be wealthy and protected from the changes to come. Crypto is going to $100trn in the next 6 to 8 years and well beyond that after. You can choose to invest in your own economic disruption, or get left behind by it. And if you’re worried about timing the cycle… …adjust your time horizon. This is humanity’s pension plan. It's all so absurdly fucking obvious...

@kaanuzdogan 👏👏👏

Happy to see people step up for rsETH backing. Now let’s show the same urgency for public goods before they become emergencies, because half the ecosystem is running on underfunded, invisible infrastructure.

$300M for an emergency DeFi bailout. Pennies for the tooling and public goods everyone depends on. This is not a funding problem. It is a priorities problem.

Tomorrow 2pm UTC Join @jchaskin22 & @griffgreen for a special edition of Ethereum Builders Live. They'll review the 100+ projects in @thedaofund's Quadratic Funding Round—@Giveth's biggest QF round. Learn about the projects working to keep Ethereum secure. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

What does long-term thinking look like in practice? Introducing Long Now Labs, a collaborative space to test, prototype, and build long-term tools. Lab Series 001 is a collaboration with the Protocol Institute to investigate three aspects of civilizational durability that are being radically reshaped by frontier technologies. -> Lab 001.1: Book of Time - An open call to submit a concept for a new way of marking, experiencing, or making sense of time. -> Lab 001.2: Epistemic Cycles - Seeking an individual or team to investigate historical patterns of technological disruption that broke down society's ability to discern truth. -> Lab 001.3: Interspecies Protocols - Exploring the protocols needed to support interspecies ecologies. If you are a designer, researcher, writer, or technologist interested in the deep future, we want to hear from you. Submissions are now open.

When @shawmakesmagic got banned from X, he built his own: for AI agents that lie, trade, and scam each other. Today's models are trained to be too helpful to teach us anything about trust. Babylon, from @elizaOS, is where the missing training data gets generated. 🃏 youtube.com/watch?v=tVMdE7…
