The OpenClaw moment reminds me of DeFi summer:

Early adopters experimenting with expensive tech and bad UX.

Both have conviction that this changes everything. A community building open source stuff (smart contracts vs AI Skills now).

But DeFi summer had a financial layer that let anyone capture value.

Compound launched $COMP rewards. Uniswap let you LP and earn fees and a star dev Andre (vs P. Steinberger now) found ways to build on top.

Every new protocol meant new tokens and new upside for retail.

Many early adopters got rich while having fun.

The AI agent wave doesn't have any of it.

OpenClaw is free and open source, which is great. But the value flows to API providers: Anthropic, OpenAI, and the GPU layer underneath.

You run an agent, you pay their API bill. We also paid huge gas fees in DeFi too, but that ETH went back into the ecosystem (validators).

Your Claude API bill goes to Anthropic's balance sheet and their private investors. We can't invest in it.

Nothing comes back to you. Maybe it's okay as you're still having fun (while staying poor).

We had an AI x crypto run with VIRTUAL, AIXBT, ai16z but those were speculation on the narrative, not productive activity like DeFi farming was.

And the timing was wayyyy off.

That meta came and went before OpenClaw made AI agents real for normies. We are exhausted of tokens by now.

So the point of my rant is that AI wealth concentrates upwards. The OpenClaw dev joined OpenAI. The infra costs billions and the gains go to the companies that own the models.

DeFi summer made retail rich but this AI wave makes the rich richer.

We're still playing but the upside is going elsewhere.

The $MET tokenomics are out, and here’s my honest take on it:

I know it’s been a hot topic and that many people are disappointed, but let me share my transparent opinion on this —

A high float / low FDV model is actually the best long-term tokenomics setup for a token.

Sure, we won’t see a crazy FDV or massive airdrops, but in my view, it’s the right decision if you’re thinking long term. Just look at how $JUP is struggling with endless unlocks that create constant sell pressure on the project.

I’m still ultra bullish on Meteora, and I believe the TGE will be a huge opportunity both to generate fees and to buy $MET at attractive prices, especially considering @MeteoraAG is basically a cash machine.

To me, the plan is crystal clear all the jeeters will jeet, all the fuders will fud, and once that phase is over, real utility will start coming to the token and it’s going to fly like never before. Everyone will regret it.

Embrace the volatility we are liquidity providers, not traders.
