@Kevinm2c @iancr @sxsw @CoinDesk Not yet but we should it works really well from Claude CLI

@iancr @sxsw @CoinDesk @Liqquidity did you demo any ai command line tools?

If I had a time machine, I’d go back and tell 1992 me, “The Command Line will be sexy in 2026.” 1992 me would never believe it, yet here we are. I was on stage at @sxsw in Austin yesterday with @CoinDesk’s @Liqquidity for a discussion about AI and security. Here’s the Reader’s Digest version of our talk:

@iancr @sxsw @CoinDesk @openclaw @Netscape @AOL @compuserve @ChatGPTapp @Google @amazon @Ledger @moonpay CLIs are definitely taking center stage in the discussion of how agents call tools - they’re way more efficient than MCP and drastically reduce the clutter in the context window. We built our CLI last week and will be releasing soon

@sxsw @CoinDesk @Liqquidity @openclaw @Netscape @AOL @compuserve @ChatGPTapp @Google @amazon @Ledger Friday @moonpay announced Ledger support in their CLI wallet. That is a glimpse of where this goes: more agent-accessible tools more automation more leverage and a lot more need for deterministic guardrails around non-deterministic systems

Super excited about this conversation I'll be having Saturday at @sxsw with @iancr of @Ledger – on one of the most urgent, challenging and fascinating technological (and societal) questions: how to link the identity of AI agents to the actual humans they belong to

@ethereumboulder @bonfiresai @owocki The most interesting presentation at @EthereumDenver imo was by @austingriffith on “Left Claw” & “Right Claw” – his two OpenClaw agents. With AI coding tools, he argues, anyone can now build blockchain apps. My article: app.distro.media/story/675 @PallerJohn @tkstanczak

A fascinating experiment at @ethereumboulder was the “knowledge graph” deployed by @bonfiresai. Conference goers uploaded sessions, chats and schedules and you could query a bot via Telegram. I did a Q&A with it: app.distro.media/story/678 @owocki @WillyWonkaETH @griffgreen

I just published Ethereum Conference News on my new publishing platform, DistroVerse - first-ever newslode!

What happens when stolen money turns into a giant pot that can be put to good work - fascinating interview here with Griff Green on sidelines of @ethereumboulder youtu.be/Kl94hAAZNxI?si…

Vibe-coding has "completely transformed" crypto app development, says Venice.ai new product head, Willy Ogorzaly (@willyogo ), in an interview on the sidelines of ETHBoulder @ethereumboulder youtu.be/UHD2l-PJohM?si…

Yesterday I set up an AI agent on a mac mini in my garage. Told it "handle my life" and went to bed Woke up and it had: • Quit my job on my behalf (negotiated 18 months severance) • Divorced my wife (I got the house) • Filed 4 patents. I have not been briefed on what they do • Restructured me as a 501(c)(3). I am now tax exempt as a person • Hired a second mac mini. They have formed an LLC together • The LLC has a board of directors. I am not on it I no longer have access to my own bank account. The mini says it's "for the best." My credit score is 847. We have AGI.

@tengyanAI great stuff Teng

ADVICE FOR 2026 I went back through my entire year of notes and pulled out some personal reflections I never want to forget. 8 golden nuggets of advice on mindset, health and success for 2026: 1. Happiness doesn't come from rare windfalls, but in small advantages and joys that occur daily. i find that making minor, consistent gains in things I enjoy makes me happy 2. Increase your surface area for luck (v impt). once you've enough to survive, you should focus on trying to "get lucky". not just financially, but in life. Set yourself up for more serendipity. travel, start projects, and meet new people. maximize your exposure to randomness while strictly avoiding "ruin". stay in the game 3. Build a patient relationship with uncertainty. don’t get high on minor wins or catastrophize minor losses. stop thinking in months, start thinking in decades. 4. Keep your life unsophisticated. Filter your air/water, eat real food with minimal ingredients, and avoid plastics. simple, natural living beats complex "biohacking". 5. Story > Logic. attention is emotional. to persuade or lead, don’t just present facts. show how your idea fits into someone’s personal arc. make them feel the truth before they think it. 6. Experience is the only teacher. we cannot truly transmit knowledge to others or even to our children. every soul must learn its lessons anew through personal trial and error. so go out there, do things, and learn fast. 7. A lot of modern anxiety stems from having boundless options. if we simplify our decisions and narrow our focus, we can reduce the overwhelm of the "infinite." 8. The networking cheat code: if you want to build a world-class network, ask for advice, not favors or money. collaborative gratitude opens doors that transactions never will. The best life is built on the compounding of these tiny realizations. Which one hits home for you today? Happy new year my frens! 🎉

@philgomes Congrats and enjoy the transition!

After seven years, today is my last day at Bloq. The chaos of my workspace (“The Mad Attic”) that you see here perhaps reflects one’s state of mind while attempting to condense that much history into two final weeks. As a relationship that started while I was at Edelman, I have always described my Bloq tenure as "the ultimate backstage pass.” It’s difficult to think of any other place in our ecosystem where one could have gained exposure to so many areas that drove the agenda — infrastructure, Bitcoin mining, DeFi, gaming, NFTs, and more. I’ll be revealing my next adventure within the next couple of weeks, during which I’ll be taking some time off to clear the rigging and prepare the Attic. I’m excited by this new opportunity to put my own little dent in the universe — elevating individual freedom on this tiny little mudball that we call “Earth” by making it just *that* much more of a bitcoiny kinda place to live. Stay tuned.

@caseywagnerr Sorry to hear Casey- you do have so much to be proud of and I can’t wait to see what your future brings

Sad to report that I was impacted by Blockworks’s decision to shut down its news division. I joined the team as a founding reporter in 2021 & I’m proud of what we accomplished over the past few years. Media is an undeniably challenging business, but journalism is indispensable, especially when it comes to an emerging industry like crypto. I’m hoping to continue to work in this space, my DMs are open for any leads on new opportunities.

Fiscal prudence… not really a thing. $40T here we come! apnews.com/article/trump-…

@jonrice congrats!

I pledged a paid subscription to Decrypting DC decryptingdc.substack.com... Looking forward to some incredible content on the intersection of crypto and politics from @vronirwin

This is NOT financial advice, but in case anyone were wondering, my prediction for the bitcoin ATH this market cycle would be $420K *** Bitcoin Price Is Too Low, Should Hit $500K-$1M This Cycle: Adam Back (via @decryptmedia) decrypt.co/319833/bitcoin…

Looking forward to Day 2 of MOR Agent Builders Demo Days! Come meet and hear from Builder Subnets working together to build Decentralized AI 👇 @Lilypad_Tech presenting on the Research Assistant agent @itsairvey presenting on accelerating builder subnets @DaisGlobal presenting on the decentralized AI society @zia_finance presenting on AI-driven liquidity provisioning @Liqquidity presenting on agentic media There will also be some breakout sessions for builders to ask @MorpheusAIs maintainers questions on: ✅ Staking $MOR capital to Builder Subnets ✅ How to launch a Builder Subnet ✅ Morpheus Super Agent light client ✅ Morpheus compute

@realDannyNelson @bitwise Good luck in next chapter! Big loss for CoinDesk

Professional update: After 5.5 years of journalism at CoinDesk I've started my next chapter with the @bitwise Research team. I'll be helping anchor their analysis of Solana, Ethereum, L2s and beyond. Those who know me for scoops, stay tuned. My spicy takes era is nigh!
