Hey @grok, what would you project the price of $AERO and $VVV to be in 2030?

[Doug Calahan @DougCalahan]

@MilkRoad How is Raoul Pal still quoted by anyone. The guy is a fool with a track record of being consistently wrong

[Doug Calahan @DougCalahan]

@cryptomanran We go higher into the start of the 2030 Great Depression. 2035-2036 is the time to buy (assuming you preserved capital is Swiss, Swedish, Philippines bonds)

[Doug Calahan @DougCalahan]

@Euwestsurpryze @GeoMetric_9 I like this idea. Gives a narrative along with AI spending for the blow off top thru Q2, maybe early Q3. Then run and hide before earnings.

@AltcoinSherpa Privacy is just an added bonus for my products. Those of us creating have had the massive random anthropic charges when we screw up. I’m still trying to figure out how $VVV/$DIEM can protect me from myself.

[Doug Calahan @DougCalahan]

@AltcoinSherpa Not sure why anyone would actively trade / sell this. So many in CT/CX are in technology. If you’re building, the $VVV/$DIEM economics (not tokenonics) is fantastic. I design in Claude Code, but all of my products’ AI assistants are paid by my staked $VVV/$DIEM. Not selling.

Hi @jessepollak, we just deployed Local Roots (https://t.co/HYonWuzIVR) to the Base mainnet. But we're having issues with Coinbase for on/off-ramping users to our decentralized food marketplace. Support case #01548566 got rejected with no explanation. Can you help?

[Doug Calahan @DougCalahan]

@DrPorny @camelfinance @ITROutlook I think what @camelfinance laid out is fairly close to what @ITROutlook has forecast for years, but would love to hear Brian’s input

[Doug Calahan @DougCalahan]

@DrPorny @camelfinance You guys need to follow @ITROutlook. They have forecast the 2029ish-2036ish Great Depression for 20+ years. They do cycle theory on timelines that no one here contemplates.

@SSJCurrency @TimeFreedomROB @AskVenice Will do!

[Doug Calahan @DougCalahan]

@SSJCurrency @TimeFreedomROB @AskVenice Only 1 is on chain. Going to Base mannet this week.

Venice ( $VVV ) is quietly outperforming the entire market up +300% this year alone.

Venice became the "VPN for AI Agents" and it might have just become one of the most important projects to follow.

One benefits of a bear market? You actually have time to check if a pump is a scam or a fundamental shift.

So what's driving this pump and can it continue?

➤ AI has a massive privacy problem
You probably saw that horror story on LinkedIn: an interviewer asking a candidate to share their screen and show their ChatGPT history to "analyze their personality." Insane behavior.

But it highlights a reality. AI models analyze your finances, fitness, and beliefs.

Venice fixes this.

It provides a single interface to access all the popular models: DeepSeek, Claude, GPT-4, Sora, and Grok.
- Completely private and uncensored
- Zero data stored on servers
- Zero shared with third parties

It creates an unlinkable inference layer, which protects your data.

➤ OpenClaw Puts the Bottom in
$VVV price bottomed in Nov 2025 when OpenClaw (Clawdbot) launched.

Venice became the preferred model for autonomous agents, you can see in the OpenClaw docs.

Look at the growth:
- 2,000,000+ registered users.
- 25,000+ active API users (MoM growth is vertical).

Registered users are a bit of "vanity metric," it's not clear if they're guest or subs. But API growth has exponentially increased.

➤ Venice Tokenomics
At a $285M Market Cap ($508M FDV), tokenomics starting to look pretty good.

Emission Cut: In Feb, emissions dropped from 10M/year to just 6M.

~40M tokens are currently staked or locked.

Only ~$6.3M (1M tokens) unlocking in the next 90 days. Nothing major.

42.73% of the supply has already been burned through

➤ Tokenized Intelligence: DIEM
Venice introduced a first of its kind, DIEM. It turns AI compute into a tradable asset. Here’s the flow:

- Stake VVV: Earn 18% yield.
- Mint DIEM: Lock your staked VVV to mint tokens.
- Credits: Each DIEM = $1/day of API credit, forever.
- Unlock: Burn DIEM to get your original $VVV back.

You can view on the chart, this has been increasing exponentially as well.

This allows holders to sell access to developers while keeping their principal. It’s the first true "yield-bearing intelligence" token.

➤ Final Thoughts
I'll admit, I originally thought of Venice as just a wrapped. But it seems to be building towards much more. It's the infrastructure for a world where you don't want Big Tech reading your prompts.

Revenue-funded buybacks and a decreasing emission schedule, going to keep a close eye on it.

[DFarmer @OGDfarmer]

Yes, charts like this still exist.

In a world where the need for uncensorable, anonymized compute is only gonna go parabolic, this chart will follow trend.

You don’t have to overthink it. This is what actual usage looks like.

2.5 million users and counting.

@gasmutant Scam

[Doug Calahan @DougCalahan]

@APompliano @cfosilvia Silly. You can construct that conversation with any AI bot

[Doug Calahan @DougCalahan]

@gasmutant This is a scam. Do not use

[Doug Calahan @DougCalahan]

@N3xtG3nHodl This is a scam. Do not use

[Doug Calahan @DougCalahan]

@Nebraskangooner I have owned it for investment. But now I am actually using it. Staked VVV earns ~25%. BUT staked VVv can mint and stake DIEM. I’m using those rewards to pay for my openclaw usage fees for all of my Claude code projects. Openclaw is now free for me.

[Doug Calahan @DougCalahan]

@OGDfarmer Have owned this as an investment. But now using it to mint/stake DIEM to pay for my openclaw usage fees. Just awesome.
