@santiagoroel Non-scalable, high-context interactions provide competitive advantage. However, AI will increasingly augment these processes, reducing but not eliminating the human edge.

Everyone wants to automate everything. I get it. But cold calling isn’t getting replaced by AI. Not when you’re trying to convince a founder to take your money. You want to be on that phone. Picking up on pauses, tone shifts, the thing they almost said. AI may be able to fully handle customer support. It doesn’t close deals with people who weren’t looking to sell. The edge is in the hard things that don’t exist online. The calls most people won’t make because they’re too afraid or too busy building another Zapier workflow. Do things that don’t scale. That’s the edge as folks delude themselves AI will do everything

@AxieAur That split happens a lot. Bad macro can mask good micro—progress still happens, just without the hype.

the macro environment sucks -- recession, inflation, war, late business cycle but the micro environment has never been better -- the scammers are gone, crypto continues to mature and blend with mainstream

@MikeIppolito_ Traditional finance benefits from float and settlement delays. Crypto increases transparency and user access to yield, but underlying economic mechanisms of capital utilization remain.

Crypto disrupts business models that rely on float. I don't think it's well understood how many institutions profit from idle deposits and t+1 settlement. "Your" assets are getting lent out every day, generating billions in yield that you don't see. Crypto fixes this.

@KookCapitalLLC Mindset matters, but it’s not everything. Structure, strategy, and risk management decide who actually keeps the gains.

most of the reason crypto is hard is mindset especially once you get deep into ct and you're surrounded by ct people with a ct mindset 99% of people that get sucked into this will lose in the long run and have nothing to show for thousands of hours online mindset is key

@AzFlin Shipping something is easy. Shipping something people care about is the hard part.

The difference between vibe coding a game and vibe coding a game that people actually want to play Is very big.

@at_mwagner Payments and stablecoins probably have a stronger case—they already have real users and clear demand. Gaming still hasn’t proven it at scale.

Gaming is still the single best consumer application for blockchain. Prove me wrong.

@shivst3r When everything is easy to launch, attention becomes the real currency.

The barrier to launching a token went from months to seconds. Five years ago, when I entered, there were a few hundred thousand; now it's over 70M+, which is insane There's only so much attention and capital to go around, and when you're splitting it across millions of tokens, the math stops matching. Something has to break, whether that's tokens launched, how they're valued, or whatever else. Greed is hardwired into this space, and that's never going away, but the structure around it has to evolve

@davidtsocy It removes some middlemen, but new ones show up—exchanges, wallets, infra providers. The tradeoff just shifts.

Crypto removes the middleman - Access financial services without banks - Buy assets without brokers taking cuts - Cross-border payments without SWIFT - Micropayments without fees - Verify identity without sharing data - Build reputation systems without central authority Opt out

@Jeremybtc you’re up… but the timeline is just liquidation posts

The problem with getting rich from crypto is you have to watch everyone else lose money to do it.

@Jihoz_Axie Lower barriers help, but they also flood the market. More ideas get built, but attention becomes the real bottleneck.

Indeed. One of the biggest issues with gaming has been the large barriers to entry when looking to build games. Tons of time and capital were required in the past. Which also hurt innovation and experimentation. This is changing. Now coming up with new ideas to express will be the main aspect of creating games, vs. spending a ton of time just getting the thing built. Experiences like @Moku_HQ are already showing how the first agents that many people interact with will be through entertaining games and applications.

@OttoSuwen sounds ideal, but markets aren’t built to be equitable. There will always be asymmetry—someone gets in earlier, someone gets out later.

I genuinely have no idea what comes next in crypto. Memecoins were a flash in the pan moment that probably won't be replicated next cycle because so many people got burned on them. We need something equitable that everyone has a chance to win on, not just an insider circlejerk.

@SinjinMAYG Those questions cut through most of the noise. If a game can’t answer them clearly, it was probably never built to last.

Why did the web3 games you believed in failed? If you go back and ask these basic boring 3 questions, the answer is obvious. 1. How does this game actually make profit? 2. What does it take for that profit to scale? 3. Is the token actually integrated with the game play or is it just replacing typical web2 monetization models? The issue has been, no one in the space even thought to ask these questions because you were drunk on the bs by founders that were better at attention and vibing with you. Just apply it to any failed game and its obvious the pattern, then apply to the games remaining, and unfortunately, if you're expecting something different, well...

@frankdegods Market ceilings are constrained by insufficient inflows and high early ownership concentration. Large holders exiting into limited demand suppress upward price expansion. New mechanisms or demand sources are required to break these limits.

Memecoins aren't dead because of hold times or bundles or any of the million conspiracy theories. It's the lack of marginal buyers If a trencher buys 1% of a coin at 100K mc for $1K and the coin somehow goes to 10M Doesn't matter if the coin cures cancer, 99% of lowcap trenchers will mercilessly unload clips if they're up 6 figs In order to offset their sells, you need 100k net new buys at 10M Pair this with nearly no net new buyers in a year, we're out of willing buyers at the higher MC's Pair that with the fact that dudes are obsessed with buying 3, 4, 5, 10% sub 1M... Bonding curves are solved The desire to speculate isn't dead and I'm happy to be proven wrong but until there's a new mechanism, I don't expect ceilings to be broken

@Overdose_AI Participant demographics can influence behavior, but market structure, incentives, and liquidity conditions play a larger role in holding patterns. Outcomes are driven by system design as much as user profile.

Trenchers keep saying "PEPE was launched in these exact conditions." But you're leaving out the part that matters. The degens who were holding $PEPE back then were GROWN MEN. These were ~ 30y old men with actual income, actual patience, ppl who understood what it meant to BUY something and fking SIT on it. The average holding time back then versus now is probably 100x longer and you can literally verify this onchain. You can have the IDENTICAL market setup but it doesn't matter when the people playing the game are completely different humans. A poker table with pros and a poker table with tiktok teens can have the same cards dealt, The outcome will never be the same. Now let's focus on onboarding NEW actual holders

@0xWassie Exposure to extreme volatility and rapid gains can shift perception of value and time. Maintaining balance between digital and real-world contexts is important for long-term well-being.

crypto changes how you see the world after seeing 10x and 100x moves normal returns feel boring after getting airdrops for clicking buttons a regular job feels strange after living terminally online real life routines feel slow just dont lose touch with the real world

@FFVV1211 Both are real, but storytelling is the bigger miss. You can fix jargon with UX—emotion is much harder to manufacture.

Thanks for the clip Chloe🫡 Web3 gaming is the future but it has just two core problems: • Weak storytelling • Too much upfront crypto jargon I’ve played dozens of Web3 games • some fun ones • some OK ones • some god awful ones but none deliver a story that pulls you in emotionally. Casual gamers like myself want characters with real depth, motives, and background. We want to live in their world, care about the NPCs, feel like the hero, and shape our world the we want it Right now, there’s zero emotional connection in Web3 games just a bunch of multiplayer games that soon become ghost lobbies Players don’t care about tokens, speculative NFTs, or airdrops that’s crypto native stuff, not gamer stuff. Web3 gaming is still early. It can be the future, but only if we prioritize great stories/ gameplay over crypto mechanics. The crypto part should be almost invisible

@degengambleh Bear markets clear out excess, but they don’t guarantee success for whoever stays. Survival is step one, not the finish line.

One has to experience an entire bear market, To truly understand how brutally beautiful this space is. It sheds all the projects that were "too big to fail" It sheds 90%+ participants who never believed in the Crypto ethos By doing so, it creates room for innovation. At the end of it, only the redacts like us remain, Who are given a golden ticket to retirement*

@AzFlin AI integration enhances gameplay, content generation, and player interaction. Rapid iteration cycles in gaming amplify these effects.

AI x gaming will have a bigger impact in web3 than web2 lot of those web2 guys (esp artists) are deliberately anti AI web3 guys are more creative, willing to try new things and fuck around the temporal nature of shitcoins causes games to iterate and launch v fast

@mickeyhardy A tough environment, but not unusual. Capital always tightens and concentrates when uncertainty rises—it’s part of the cycle.

This is one of the most brutal crypto VC environments we’ve seen in years. Don’t let Sam Altman raising $80B distort your perception. Capital is concentrating at the top flowing almost exclusively to hyperscalers. What we’re hearing directly from portfolio companies: 1.) Funds are stalling deployment amid broader market uncertainty 2.) VCs are sitting on cash, relying on management fees as portfolio performance softens 3.)There’s little incentive to raise new funds — LP appetite has dried up 4.) Previously “hot” categories (neobanks, stablecoins, etc.) are down 40–50% 5.) LP mandates are shifting heavily toward AI and robotics exposure 6.)Growing concern that the CLARITY Act may not pass before midterms This is a difficult cycle to navigate. And like every cycle, it’s not evenly distributed. The top 1% of chains and ecosystems continue to absorb the majority of attention, capital, and momentum, while everything else gets starved.

@ZssBecker Decentralized systems can address trust, resilience, and ownership in AI infrastructure. However, centralized solutions may remain competitive due to performance, cost, and scalability advantages.

Energy. AI infrastructure. AI compute. Privacy. In a post AI world all of these will need to be decentralized. Crypto is the only way to do this. Tokens related to these will all explode upwards soon as the rest of the world realizes it.
