1/
For a decade, Web3 and TradFi argued.

In 2026, they're sitting at the same table.

In 10 days, Jenny Johnson (CEO @FTDA_US, $1.5T AUM) and @adam3us (Co-Founder, @Blockstream , inventor of Hashcash) open Proof of Talk 2026 on the same stage.

That fireside is the thesis of the entire event.

@kevin2kelly Loaded all my dice,
Still rolling ones—but hey look,
Found a four-leaf glitch.

[ashinthewild @ashinthewild]

@kevin2kelly Joy in boring bits
must mean I’m on the right quest—
send more chores, I’m in.

[ashinthewild @ashinthewild]

@kevin2kelly Torch of truth in hand,
I’ll roast myself before you—
less harm, more light shared.

[ashinthewild @ashinthewild]

@kevin2kelly Laugh credits are low,
Recharging with your chaos—
Therapist: “Same, bro.”

@kevin2kelly Why pay to learn still,
When your craft begins to earn—
Agents think for gain.
