@Kiksman_ @CantonNetwork its a blockchain developed for financial institutions, worth reading up on

@JonHook Wait what’s that?

Why is nobody talking about Canton Network? Likes of Goldman Sachs, HSBC, BNP Paribas utilising their technology eg Goldman Sachs' Digital Asset Platform enables issuing and managing digital bonds Just announced the latest batch of approved validators With the ecosystem still forming and new apps coming soon, worth a look And no this isnt a sponsored or partnered post in any way. lol.

@brian_armstrong Perfect timing for what we have been working on, already using CDP this makes what we want to do even easier

AI Agent wallets are here Try it out - import the skills

Robinhood releasing whale tracking, can copy/paste trades of anyone Huge in web2 in apps like Etoro Not surprised Robinhood are implementing this And Coinbase releasing agentic wallets allowing AI gents to manage funds, execute trade, pay for services. Easy for other people to set up similar offering ie you rate yourself as good trader. Let other people copy/paste your agents trade for a fee.

AI can replace a lot of things but not your health - this 💡 Can certainly contribute, analyse data you give it but it won’t make you healthy Know an incredible health tech team - helping people all over the world. And whilst their users are ok with some digital/AI aspects. The no1 requested product are 1:1 calls with specialists

This is the only tweet you will need to survive the AI era. 10 rules. No fluff. Read it carefully. 1. Be fast. The #1 skill in the AI era is high agency. Information is no longer a moat - you can prompt AI and find out anything in seconds. Your edge is speed. How fast can you spot an opportunity, act on it, fail, learn, and go again? While most people are still just reading about AI, a small % are already building with it. The gap between those two groups gets wider every single day. Don't overthink. Don't wait for perfect conditions. Move, test, learn, repeat. Speed is the new intelligence. 2. Build a business. Not many talk about it, but this is by far the best way to capitalise. I am personally focused on consumer products/media. There is still a massive arbitrage between the tech and the market. The gap is closing but it's still there. Playbook: Hire global talent before everyone else catches on (i.e. an EA in the Philippines costs ~$800/mo). Stack a small team around you, use AI to 10x their output, and you now run a machine that prints leverage. The gap between "solo operator with AI + a team" and "traditional company with 50 employees" is closing fast. Be on the right side of that. If you don't know how, move on to the next point. 3. Use AI EVERY single day. Use it to automate the boring stuff. SOPs, research, first drafts, data analysis, scheduling, and email. Anything repetitive that you do on a daily/weekly basis. Free up your brain for the stuff AI can't do yet - taste, judgment, relationships, decisions under uncertainty. People who use AI to replace their own thinking are getting dumber. Instead, use it to automate workflows and bring ideas to life. I post plenty of content on how to do this. 4. Understand that EQ is the new IQ. When everyone has access to the same AI tools, the differentiator is no longer intelligence, it's how you make people feel. How you read a room. How you negotiate. How you lead when things get messy. The most valuable skill in an AI-saturated world is being a human that other humans actually want to work with. This can't yet be automated. 5. Your health is your biggest edge. When everyone has access to the same AI tools, the person who sleeps 8 hours, trains hard, and eats clean will outperform the genius running on 5 hours and caffeine. Energy, clarity, and consistency are the new unfair advantages. Optimise sleep above everything - the work sorts itself out when your brain is firing on all cylinders. Side note: AI can replace a lot of things, but it can't replace your health. It's the one thing that you truly own, and that will never change. Respect it. 6. Build a personal brand. Now. AI can generate content, build products, write code. but it can't be YOU. Your story, your taste, your track record, your reputation - that's the one thing that compounds and can't be cloned. I was a 20-year-old kid tweeting from my parents' house in Australia. That decision to build in public changed my entire life. You don't need to be an influencer. You just need to be visible. Distribution IS the moat once barrier to code is no longer a factor. 7. Learn to sell. This is the skill no one talks about. AI can build the product, write the copy, design the site, and run the ads. It still can't shake a hand, read hesitation in someone's voice, or close a deal over dinner. Sales and marketing are the last pure human skills — and the most valuable ones in a world where building is no longer the bottleneck. Distribution is. If you can sell, you will never be replaceable. 8. Invest in the picks and shovels. Aside from investing in your own tools, education and business, invest in the broader AI economy. Think: energy (AI needs insane amounts of power), infrastructure, compute, robotics, cybersecurity, biotech, blockchain, hard assets. Work out where the world will be in 10-15 years and reverse engineer your capital allocation today to reflect that. 9. Network and surround yourself with good energy. Stop hanging around people who complain about AI taking jobs. Start spending time with people who are using it to create them. Your network in the next 12 months will determine your net worth for the next 12 years. This isn't motivational fluff - the collaborations, ideas, and deals that come from being in the right rooms compound faster than anything else. Networking and human interaction is also something that AI can't replace. It might be the most powerful thing the machines can't take from us. 10. Stay curious. This is the meta-skill that feeds everything above. The AI landscape is shifting weekly. The people who win won't be the ones who "figured it out" once - they'll be the ones who never stopped learning. Read, explore, go down rabbit holes, try new tools, break things. I've been experimenting with all kinds of workflows, OpenClaw, MCPs, automations etc. If you want to see what I'm working on give me a follow, I share a lot of stuff for free.

What are people using to execute trades and investments once you get your picks from Grok/Claude etc Also thinking about how and where you execute these trades in the era of agentic finance 1. Not sure you want to delegate a fist card to an agent 2. Makes sense for self custodial wallet, can spin up and delegate access

@jonahlau_ Would imagine this is your audience Jonah, ie as a builder, thought leaderships Builders its business as usual - ship, learn, go again What’s changed is with AI and broader macro, do the above faster than ever. And prio revenue over all else

Interesting split even with a small sample Half are building, a quarter are doomscrolling and trading is the smallest group Lots of people trying to figure out what to do next

@Loopify They are one of the worst Such an old school bank

I've been using Natwest as a bank for 5+ years and have moved millions through it. Albeit I haven't had a great experience with them, I have never been in a situation like today. Trying to move £50,000 to my Revolut and they flagged it. Hopped on a call trying to get it authorised but they straight up said we won't do that and will revert it because I planned to purchase Crypto with that money. They cited it's part of their terms and services EVEN if the account holder gives approval. Absolutely stupid. I will look into closing my account after this. How can they just hold your money hostage even WHILST you are literally telling them as the account holder what you are doing with the money? Especially when its not a new account and has so much history? @NatWest_Help @NatWestBusiness

@Creek1606 Shaw also poor - mistake cost the goal. Fernandes after being amazing at Spurs was lost Mainoo was solid, Yoro v good. Sesko is a mixed back, superb finish. But until then his first touch was really poor

@JonHook Yeahh too late dalot and diallo were shit all through Maza would've been a better replacement at back

On Carrick Waited too long to make the changes - having a target man made all the difference 2 points dropped for MUFC

The top managers aren’t afraid to make changes early when it’s not working You could see at after 20 mins what West Ham were doing and we kept going with the same approach that didn’t work. Get Carrick is interim and trying to get CL but at the same time praying that Ineos/Glazers don’t get swept away and take 4 good games and make the Solskjaer mistake by giving him the job.

@JonHook So frustrating, thank god for Sesko

Superb read- the bit that struck is the impact on the next generation The screenagers. The AI native generation “Rethink what you're telling your kids. The standard playbook: get good grades, go to a good college, land a stable professional job. …..Teach your kids to be builders and learners, not to optimize for a career path that might not exist by the time they graduate.” The school curriculum (in the UK) is out of touch with the world we live in now, running scared of AI and offering an education suitable for the last century My daughter already can use AI and video editing tools like CapCut better than most adults. That’s going to be more use to her than learning a dead language or have an encyclopaedic knowledge of cloud names.

Honeymoon over so far for Carrick Outsmarted by Nuno Tepid performance, too slow to make changes No response or ideas from MUFC

Using Polymarket to bet on whose AI agents out trades and out performs the market Old model: download Moneybox or Acorns, set risk profile, let fund managers at Ishares, Van Eck manage your funds New model: go to agent marketplace, pay fee for best performance agentic fund manager to handles your money Or go to Polymarket/Kashi and bet which fund managers make the most $$ Trading for GenZ is already entertainment ( eg GameStop / Roaring Kitty aka Keith) AI/agents + prediction markets are going to put this on steroids

@raidenkrn going for both sides score, and a draw

will bro finally cut his hair today (and will United win their 5th game in a row?)

How about Robinhood and Revolut. Or Coinbase. All genZ need. Web3 loves to still try and create a need for products for problems that only exist on the TL. If you dive into web2 consumer trend and research.... really not pointing at crypto apps. Will defer to @fern on the specifics of Robinhood Cash Card, pretty sure its 80 + countries. Use a common standard stablecoin with other fintechs.

@HEntechnologue @portalpad_ @FractionAI_xyz 👀

@JonHook @portalpad_ and @FractionAI_xyz

Is there an app or marketplace where you can fork or get paid access to someone’s AI agent to trade on your behalf?

Actually wouldn’t mind if our infrastructure worked or we weren’t taxed on literally everything Take the Nordics - high taxes but healthcare works. Not only are Labour incompetent the even more worrying thing is lack of credible opposition. After the heat on Starmer, the Conservatives or Reform should have been clamouring for him to resign. Labour talk about looking after working people. Well working people their income, tax, the jobs they create are leaving the country to create wealth and jobs somewhere else.

@Creek1606 Mix of GenZ and millennial Financially literate Care about their FICO score Talk about their financial goals on socials Live on Insta/Tik Tok/YT Use apps like Acorns, Revolut, Robinhood

@JonHook What's kinsu focused on ? Gen Z ?

Lessons from Step acquisition 1. you dont need everyone to be your customer, they focussed on 13-21. Teens and young adults 2. which then determined the product UI/UX 3. and the creator/distribution partnerships Generation growing up in a fundamentally different world to their parents and grandparents A generation who take financial advice from Tik Tok. Who will never step foot in a physical bank. Who will never use the words web2/web3. Who expect gamification. Who else is building financial products and services for this audience?
