Eric Schmidt (ex-Google CEO): “if you really want to make money, it’s actually easy. found an agentic AI company.” spoiler: the supply of builders is tiny. the demand is enormous. this guy is literally giving away the exact 2026 playbook to build and sell AI automations to make $10k/mo bookmark and start this weekend

This is the the quote I've been citing a lot recently.

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...

@HolgerCardano24 @IagonOfficial Cardano is behind on many core technologies. The IO proposals are all important for Cardano to catch up and grow, and like it or not, IOG is the only company that can do this right now. You are letting your disdain for Charles negatively affect the future of this platform.

Alright, everyone. Here comes some transparency for the people who have me as their DRep. Disclaimer: EVERYTHING I write is my personal view/opinion and has NOTHING to do with my position as CTO of @IagonOfficial -- Sad day for our Vision, but here we go: I just voted with NO on every single IO proposal. -- Why so? Because I personally deem the CEO of IO @IOHK_Charles as unfit for the job - to handle our Ecosystem in a proper way. -- Holger,..WTF? What do you mean? I could tell you a lot of stories why, and I could tell you a lot of stories where I defended him from a perspective of: "he is also just a human like all of us - humans have bad days, make mistakes, bad decision, etc." BUT (!!!) we reached a point where it is NOT funny anymore! When people ask Charles on X why he is bashing @NaVi_GaT0R (CEO of IAGON) and @IagonOfficial itself, then he answers with (i quote): "He just downvoted the IO funding proposals [...] this is objectively wrong". -- Let's get this straight: As of today it looks like the Founder of #Cardano - who "invented" and "created" the decentralised governance - will shame/blame you socially (with his more than 1 Million follower X-Account) when you vote against his proposals where he asks for over 140 Million ADA. (That is even at the current low ADA price: over $35 Million USD) Please remember that IOHK got 2,463,071,701 ADA (2.4 Billion) over the Genesis Block Distribution. So, IF you use the decentralised governance system and have a different opinion on how and/or how much money should be spent, then you or your company/Cardano project are going to be slaughtered by the Founder of the Ecosystem himself. HOW DARE YOU VOTE against the "King" himself, when he asks for money,.. you "little peasant" ?!?!! For me it does NOT matter if the topic is about IAGON, SNEK, or the holy Virgin Mary. The decentralised governance system is to vote and state your opinion - like it or not, but free speech is free speech. UNLESS you vote against the "King" then "he" sends (or at least he does not tell them to not do it) his "Soldiers" (Employees) like Riley who post more FUD to create more "uncertainty" for those $IAG holders which are not always up-2-date and only act based on the price and/or fud they see. And when the $IAG price takes a hit, because of his 1M reach + that of his "Soldiers", the Founder of #Cardano then posts a Bane video - which looks like a response to the $IAG price-crash-chart for X users. Hosky, writes under the price-crash-chart screenshot: "Let's see if it works" and tags Charles. Charles replies to Hosky with a video showing a scene with Bane (from the movie "The Dark Knight Rises") I quote what Bane says within the 15 seconds of the video: Bane: "Your punishment must be more severe" Dark Knight: "Torture?" Bane: "Yes,..But not of your body...of your soul" So, Charles requests over 140M ADA from the Cardano Treasury, because 2.4 Billion Genesis ADA is NOT enough. Then the CEO of one of the biggest Projects on Cardano (IAGON) says: nah bro, i do not like that - let me vote with: no Then Charles runs the drums to hurt IAGON, because IAGON's CEO wanted to exercise free speech in the voting-process "Charles" invented. And when he reached his goal to hurt a project within his own ecosystem, then he makes a statement and which is presented to the X community as: "The punishment must be more severe, it must be torture of the soul. " Brings me to a simple personal question - i would like to ask Charles: Are you fucking nuts, or just an asshole?! How can someone self-sabotage his own Ecosystem so hard?! OH WAIT, he created midnight - so fuck Cardano, right?! Is it that Charles? -- So long story short. I voted NO on all IO proposals, because Charles manages it. The IO employees are most likely all good people, but the fish is rotting from the head down. -- Just a no-vote, or do i also have a better idea? At a first glance - i would say - we should create a company, which hires all good IO workers, and we pay them from the treasury directly. No mad middleman who loves to shit on his own work one day and eats at the same place the next day. -- FINAL statement: Could this all be written more nice? Yes Did I instead just write down what is in my head? Yes Is it therefore maybe not perfect? Yes But does it still deliver what my opinion is? I think/hope so. And look at my X-Name: "Holger - Guarding our Vision!" That is not because it should look fancy. It is this way, because i mean it! And that also means, that the little peasant stands up when the "King" is doing some bullshit and not only salutes and says: Yes Sir! (As many DReps do, because they only follow Charles blindly - no matter what he says or does) Like what I wrote/think? Want to support it? Does it align with your thoughts? Then feel free to delegate or switch your DRep delegation to me. DRep-ID: drep1y2k8uedxj5xzymxxzf07plg0t5xd4mmckwg9lwkwhdlwyesy0eyf8 Thank you for taking the time to read till the end!🙏 p.s.: @IOHK_Charles this time you fucked it up ultra hard,... maybe today it's me with the bad mood, with a mistake, with a wrong statement - I am also just a human. But from my perspective all this feels more than wrong!

LMAO this is too brutal cooking 😭🤣😂

I like blockchain tech quite a bit because it extends open source to open source+state, a genuine/exciting innovation in computing paradigms. I'm just sad and struggle to get over it coming packaged with so much braindead bs (get rich quick pumps/dumps/scams/spams/memes etc.). Ew

@Osint613 A jump from $100 to $600 is a 500% increase. But dropping from $600 to $100 is an 83.3% decrease, not 600%. That’s exactly why basic quantitative literacy matters in policy discussions.

People are misreading the SpaceX/Cursor deal as an M&A story. It’s actually a bet on what the real bottleneck in frontier coding models is. xAI has struggled to close the gap with Claude Code and Codex. Cursor sits on the best corpus of developer traces in the world. The deal lets Cursor train Composer on Colossus while xAI runs the same recipe on Grok. Both sides find out, at the same time, whether Cursor's data is actually the difference. The option structure reflects that uncertainty. If the training work ports over, SpaceX buys Cursor and owns the pipeline. If it doesn’t, they pay $10B for the experiment and walk. Either outcome, Grok ends up stronger than it would have been, and xAI gets an answer to a question it couldn’t answer internally. The part worth holding onto: a pre-IPO company just priced a live experiment to figure out whether real developer traces are the scarce input in coding agents. $10B is what they’re paying to run it. $60B is what the answer is worth if it comes back yes.

I came back to code because AI made it possible for me to build at a level I couldn't before. I'm not coding despite being CEO of YC. I'm coding because this is the most important technological shift since the internet and I'd be an idiot to experience it from the bleachers. I'm 45, running the most important startup institution in the world, and I can ship production software at 2am. That's not a distraction from the job. That is the job understood correctly.

The most likely explanation for Trump's Truth Social lies about Iran on Friday, is market manipulation. If so, Trump insiders must have made billions. The next likely possibility is that Trump is either delusional, incompetent, or a combination of both. Either way it's not good.

Using OpenClaw is basically is like driving your own Ferrari (that you have to be a mechanic for yourself) and it's broken down all the time, but gives you the time of your life vs driving a reliable Honda (Hermes Agent) vs riding the bus (Claude / ChatGPT)

@RickMcCracken @RedM3Pilot Trump’s Tweet didn’t age well this past 24 hours. It doesn’t look like the Straits are opening up anytime soon.

Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon vatican.va/content/leo-xi…

@nancymonahan4 @ProjectGokuu @grok During the pandemic, did the Covid vaccine benefits outweigh the side effects?

@ProjectGokuu It's hard to take advice from someone who recommended the Covid jabs.

Dr. Rhonda Patrick just dropped a 3-hour masterclass on the Huberman Lab podcast. She shared 8 shocking insights about everyday things that are slowly making you sick: 1) Drinking water from glass bottles (has higher levels of microplastics than in plastic ones)

@nancymonahan4 @ProjectGokuu The fact that she recommended getting vaccinated makes me like her more. The disinformation out there regarding vaccinations is staggering these days.

A $META engineer went viral posting about how bad things are right now. 👀

I am a Web3 Ambassador at World Liberty Financial. There are 12 of us on the team page. 4 are named Trump. 3 are named Witkoff. The page calls us "the passionate minds shaping the future of finance." 600,000 wallets bought our memecoin. They lost $3.87 billion. The family collected $350 million in trading fees. It launched 3 days before the inauguration. 80% of the supply went to CIC Digital LLC and Fight Fight Fight LLC. I did not choose the names. I designed the allocation, the vesting, the timing, and the distance between the product and the President. The distance is my best work. I am the reason these events are unrelated. World Liberty Financial sends 75 cents of every dollar to DT Marks DEFI LLC. That is the family entity. Zero capital contributed. Zero liability assumed. I wrote this into the Gold Paper. Page 14. The lawyers bound it in white leather. The binding cost more than the due diligence. Justin Sun invested $75 million. He was facing SEC fraud charges. The SEC dropped the case. He is now our advisor. These events are unrelated. Changpeng Zhao pleaded guilty to federal money laundering violations. He received a presidential pardon. The SEC dropped its lawsuit against his exchange the same week we listed our stablecoin. Then the exchange settled a $2 billion deal entirely in that stablecoin. These events are unrelated. Arthur Hayes, Benjamin Delo, and Samuel Reed of BitMEX pleaded guilty to Bank Secrecy Act violations. All 3 received presidential pardons. Then the company itself was pardoned. $100 million in fines. Gone. An American first. These events are unrelated. Sheikh Tahnoun of Abu Dhabi paid $500 million for a 49% stake that was never publicly disclosed. Then the administration approved semiconductor exports to his companies over national security objections. These events are unrelated. Everything is unrelated. I track the unrelatedness on a dashboard I built. The dashboard has 7 columns now. I am proud of the dashboard. On May 22nd, 220 people paid a combined $148 million to eat dinner with the America First president. Over half were foreign nationals. Justin Sun paid $18.5 million for the first seat. He visited the Executive Office Building the day before. I designed the seating chart. I put it on the Investor Confidence page. That page is doing well. The team page lists 3 Witkoffs. All 3 are Co-Founders. Steven Witkoff is the President's Middle East envoy. He testified as a character witness at the President's fraud trial. His son Zach runs the crypto operation. His son Alex is also a Co-Founder. I have not been told what Alex co-founded. The father runs the diplomacy. The sons run the platform. The family runs both. That is organizational efficiency. Barron is 19. His title is Web3 Ambassador. The same as mine. Donald Jr. called the conflicts of interest "complete nonsense." Eric launched a Bitcoin mining company called American Bitcoin. America First. The mining partner is Hut 8. Hut 8 was founded in Canada. America First means the name. On March 6th, the President signed Executive Order 14233 creating a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. The order directs the government to hold Bitcoin. The President's family holds billions in Bitcoin. The executive order appreciates the President's assets by presidential decree. I did not write the executive order. I made sure it looked unrelated to the portfolio. Trump Media put $2 billion of Bitcoin on its balance sheet. The ticker symbol is DJT. His initials. The press secretary said it is absurd to insinuate the President profits off the presidency. Forbes calculated his crypto holdings exceed the combined value of Mar-a-Lago and Trump Tower. I would call that absurd too. That is my job. 600,000 wallets bought in. 1 of them asked why she could not withdraw her funds. I told her the protocol was experiencing dynamic market conditions. She asked what that meant. I sent her the Gold Paper. She said she had read the Gold Paper. I muted her channel. Dynamic means the conditions change. The condition that changed was her access. A congressman called us the world's most corrupt crypto startup operation. We put it on a coffee mug. Ironic merchandise. $45. The revenue split on the mug is also 75/25. My own tokens vest on a different schedule. I wrote that schedule. That is not in the Gold Paper. The memecoin funds the family. The family funds the platform. The platform funds the stablecoin. The stablecoin funds the deals. The deals require the pardons. The pardons free the partners. The partners fund the platform. The President signs the executive orders. The executive orders inflate the assets. The assets fund the family. I am the reason these events are unrelated.
