🚨 SPEAKER ANNOUNCEMENT: "The Godfather of Crypto" Is Coming to Maryland! 🚨

We are thrilled to announce that Michael Terpin, Founder & CEO of Transform Ventures and Chief Investment Officer of Supercycle Genesis Partners, LP, will be a featured speaker at the upcoming Maryland BlockchAIn Bootcamp & Workforce Expo (July 13–17, 2026)!

Dubbed “the Godfather of Crypto” by @CNBC , Michael is a legendary serial entrepreneur, investor, and thought leader with over 35 years of experience leading groundbreaking ventures.

Why You Can’t Miss His Session:

Foundational Web3 Pioneer: As a co-founder of @BitAngels , Michael was an early investor and advisor to foundational blockchain projects—including anchoring a $1,000,000 investment into the Ethereum crowd sale when it was just $0.30 per token.

Master of Market Cycles: He developed the famous “Four Seasons of Bitcoin” model and authored the critically acclaimed book Bitcoin Supercycle, which accurately predicted the monumental November 2024 all-time high.

Bridging Web1 to Web3: Long before digital assets, Michael revolutionized mainstream tech marketing, founding Market Wire (now Globe Newswire) and launching iconic consumer internet brands like The Motley Fool and America Online (AOL) Greenhouse.

At this year's Bootcamp, Michael will bring his unparalleled macroeconomic perspective to Maryland, sharing vital insights into liquidity cycles, institutional digital asset management, and the evolution of blockchain infrastructure.

Whether you are an attorney tracking regulatory frameworks, an investor mapping market cycles, or a professional entering the Web3 workforce, learning from a pioneer of Michael’s caliber is a rare opportunity.

📅 Event Dates: July 13–17, 2026

Woow Nvidia has just released a 2.6B open-source world model 🔥

You can turn a single image, text prompt and trajectory into controllable worlds...

And on a single GPU!

- Code available on GitHub
- Paper as well on arxiv

You can use it for many things like embodied AI and robotics research, simulations, etc.

Because it can run on a single GPU (like an RTX 5090 or H100) it makes world models accessible to basically everyone!

“Over 40% of current Agentic AI projects will be canceled by the end of 2027, not because the technology failed to deliver, but because firms deployed it without the governance scaffolding to catch errors before they aggregated into business problems.” 😯

@ErikVoorhees @burstingbagel Amazing job with this project, utility, store of value, compute 🙃✨ brilliant

[Erik Voorhees @ErikVoorhees]

1. Yes DIEM is a liability of Venice, this is known and intentional.

2. The liability is constrained because supply of DIEM cannot rise materially (doing so would lock exponential amounts of VVV)

3. We (Venice) treat DIEM like any other cost of business. We spend money on marketing, on servers, on staff, on SaaS products, and on DIEM as a mechanism.

4. We could easily support it if all DIEM was used every day, but it's not. Only 80% is staked, and of that just under half tends to be used, so the real liability is lower than max liability. But again, we can easily handle the max liability and designed things around that limit.

5. Venice hasn't sold VVV (in fact we have more today in both numerical and percent terms than when it launched, despite total supply falling from 100m to 80m tokens). And still, Venice has already made more in its 20% cut of locked VVV emissions from DIEM minting than it has spent in DIEM-led inference. None of our modeling or intention *requires* any such revenue, however, and if VVV had fallen in price since launch then it'd be a loss to us, but that's fine and expected. We are not noobs to crypto volatility, and our mechanics have foundational economic justification (this doesn't make them risk free, but does constrain the risks to knowable curves and gradients).

6. *Why* does DIEM exist? Because we wanted to experiment with a new kind of inference mechanic, in which agents specifically can access zero-marginal-cost compute. It's new and nobody quite knows how to value it, that's how experiments work. The risk is quantifiable and bounded, so why not experiment? When VVV launched we first enabled VVV itself to grant the free access, but because of the variable price, supply, and inability to guarantee fixed quantities of allocation, it was too volatile to be useful for serious people needing inference over time. DIEM was drawn out of VVV to provide the stability ($1/day). To illustrate this point, if VVV granted fixed $$$ inference, then as VVV rose in value over time the link would become absurd and break the utility. DIEM can remain range-bound in price forever, and this is the expected state, though we don't know the range that the market will settle into yet. VVV is unbounded by any theoretical range, especially as we try to burn all of it, and thus could not be attached to a specific dollar amount of inference per period of time.

7. DIEM is a small part of Venice's business. It gets lots of attention (indeed that was part of the point) but is not existential or fundamental.

Also have you tried the app yet?

As a designer and creative for +30 years, AI is fucking incredible 💥

[Erik Voorhees @ErikVoorhees]

DIEM & VVV tokenomics...

• 1 DIEM = $1/day of daily renewing AI compute credits, spendable on any model from Qwen to Opus 4.7 to Grok to Nano Banana via Venice (app or api)

• As demand for AI compute rises, DIEM is bid up. Supply is very constrained (see DIEM price chart below since inception last fall).

How does this relate to VVV?

• VVV has the exclusive right to "print" DIEM, which locks the VVV until DIEM is paid back (and thus burned).

• Every VVV holder basically has a growing pile of instant cash/liquidity, because at any time they can lock some or all of their stash and get DIEM to sell on the market.

• Thus as AI compute demand rises, DIEM price rises, and temptation to lock up VVV and mint DIEM grows.

• Fundamental to DIEM's design, is the "mint curve." This defines an exponential curve specifying the rate at which VVV can be locked to mint 1 DIEM.

• The higher the DIEM supply goes, the further up this curve we go, meaning exponentially more VVV must be locked for a marginal increase in DIEM.

• This keeps Venice's liability constrained (remember each DIEM is a liability to Venice, which must provide $1/day of compute)

• And this also means an increasing amount of VVV is taken out of supply and locked up until some day in the future if DIEM is paid back.

In the image below, price of DIEM has risen gradually along demand for AI compute at Venice, and the tan portion of the VVV bars shows the locked supply, rising from ~5m in Nov to ~9m today.

For that VVV supply to ever unlock, DIEM must be bought back and burned... but doing so raises DIEM price and thus tempts more VVV back into locked position.

Equilibrium is hereby established and both VVV and DIEM price should ultimately correlate a) to demand for AI compute generally and b) to quality of Venice's AI compute offering specifically.
