Deleted the X app from my phone because I get everything I need to know from this cursed platform via the @BoysClubWorld newsletter.

Insane things happening today at a tech conference in Brussels

A young 54 yo founder took the stage

He showed something called "artificial intelligence"

He typed a question into a machine and it answered back in full sentences

The room gasped, I felt like I was watching the moon landing

Suddenly a French venture capitalist stood up and said "I will fund this"

He offered a €100k for 65% of the company

They shook hands on stage

The conference ended early because the venue's Wi-Fi license expired at 3pm

But in those 3 hours I saw the future

We are so far ahead of America it's not even funny

NEW: Russia's digital iron curtain is slamming shut.

They just began a @WhatsApp block among other services.

Behind the curtain? Russians are being pushed to use the Max app, which has zero encryption, connects with gov services & looks exactly like a mass surveillance tool.

when it’s career day and ur dad walks in with a podcast mic

[luke.moody (Lukas Huettis) @lukashuettis]

. @cryptocom just paid $70M for AI_com.

The most expensive disclosed domain sale in history!

And it's not about the domain, it's about the bet. AI agents will need payment rails. Native ones.

A few weeks ago, @arikia and I explored exactly this with @_rishinsharma from Solana: "When Software Pays" - what happens when machines don't just execute code, but participate economically.

x402 revives HTTP 402: Payment Required. Not as a billing feature, but as a cultural shift: access has a price, by default.

Watching this deal now, it clicks.

When the biggest crypto exchange buys the most valuable AI domain, they're not building a chatbot. They're positioning for a web where agents act, decide, and transact on our behalf.

The agentic web needs infrastructure. The money is following.
