AI doesn’t NEED crypto.
Agents can use credit cards easily. There’s no reason for my agent to buy shoes with crypto. We need to ask where crypto is actually differentiated:
- global reach
- micro transactions
- interoperability with defi
- irreversibility of txs
What else?

@0xSweep it would be interesting to measure the biological age impact of crypto versus other professions to evaluate if it’s an accelerate of aging processes
🏃♂️ I've gamified my own run so I can race my own ghost with the Meta Ray-Ban Display.
I built a web app for the glasses, loaded a previous GPX from Strava, and dropped game mechanics on top.
Pick up coins when you keep pace, sprint zones reward extra points if you push, and a mini leaderboard on the lens shows how you're tracking against your past self in real time.
Best part: it actually works. Seeing your ghost 20 m ahead is a way stronger nudge than any number on a watch. 😅
One of the many things I dislike about the style of "make AI go well" discourse from frontier AI companies is how nationalist the whole thing has gotten.
In the 2010s, it was: "we're here to benefit all of humanity"
In the 2020s, "we're here to benefit all of 4% of humanity"
And even the Good People are buying into this frame completely😢
And they expect humanity to go along, because "come on, be a realistic adult, it's either us or Chiiina" or something like that
(And on the EU side, you get "[X] with European values", which too often seems to mean "the same stuff they're doing, but with Us instead of Them in charge")
Very big-dog-small-dog energy, morally speaking.

“The future of democracy is increasingly decided by voters who don’t have one,” laments Maxime Sbaihi, an economist at Club Landoy, a demography think-tank in France.
If the European welfare state looks like a pyramid scheme, its pharaohs are the “baby-boomers”. The bumper generation born in the two decades after 1945, aged roughly between 60 and 80 (Hello Mum! Hi Dad!), would like to go down in history as the first in centuries not to have started a war pitting one bit of the continent against another. Sociologists will surely celebrate the 1960s, when boomers sought to replace chauvinism with rock ’n’ roll. But economists will judge them less kindly. Boomers granted themselves generous pensions, relying on demographic trends that have since lapsed. The costs turned Europe lethargic. Today’s grandparents inherited a continent rebuilding itself after war; they will pass on one in need of repair after the damage they helped wreak.
