Cursor (@cursor_ai): 0 to $100M+ ARR in 21 months.
Bolt (@boltdotnew): 0 to $20M+ ARR in 2 months.
Lovable (@lovable): 0 to $10M+ ARR in 2 months.
Which other products/companies are on this type of trajectory?
From the AI breakthroughs of the last few months, a wave of new startup opportunities have been unlocked.
Here are some of the ideas we think will be especially interesting to build now: https://t.co/QCIz6DnQnN
Fasting is literally the greatest remedy—the doctor within.
I fast 12-16 hours daily and do four 48+ hour fasts annually. I highly recommend it for gut reset, cognitive performance, and detoxification.
My ultimate fasting blueprint: 🧵
SocialFi Resurgence?
Apps I'm trying out:
• @cloutdotme: KOLcoin launchpad (for now)
• @tribedotrun: app for token-gated group chats, called tribes (need invite)
• @stackdotso: Hold creator tokens + mint social score & more
• @0xppl_ : Track, discuss KOL trades, swap in app
• @moolah: Time is money (pay to connect with ppl)
• @bangerdotlol: Collect banger posts
• @ideasdotfun: trade ideas (not live yet it seems)
• @TheArenaApp: The one and only Friend Tech fork to survive and thrive.
• @VECTORDOTFUN: Trade meme with frens (need invite pls)
• @yapsterxyz: social token launching & trading (need invite pls)
What else should I try?
We're at a point where you can legit learn, build and have your frameworks analysed on Solana by AI agents like @lumolabsdotai
& they're hosting a Hackathon with a prize pool worth $25K for the builders!
Here's everything you need to know about @lumolabsdotai $LUMO (1/)🧵
the velocity at which ai devs can make $10m in crypto is unprecedented because in many cases the code is already written. they just need to launch a coin, link the github, and hire a fiver designer to make it all look cool.
How I look at the AI Agents sub-metas (chronological order):
NOTE: Just listing tickers of larger cap tokens for reference, not recommendations to buy.
1. Twitter Agents & Replyguys ( $GOAT, $LUNA, #ZEREBRO etc): Cooked, annoying now.
2. Alpha bots / terminals / data analysis ( $AIXBT, $COOKIE , $POLY, $MAICRO etc): Typically no good alpha + alpha decay. Terminals usually not as good as Kaito / Nansen.
3. Frameworks / Launchpads ( #VIRTUAL / $GAME, #AI16Z $ARC #ZEREBRO #PIPPIN $HAT $VVAIFU etc): Meta moved here as Agents got boring + people chasing VIRTUAL beta on the launchpad side.
4. Trading Agents / Investment DAOs ( $vader #sekoia #DaosFun #DaosWorld): Here you're betting on the managers instead of AI.
5. Infra for Computer Use / Memory / Swarm Tech ( $TANK, $FXN , $GRPH ): Basically specialised infra.
6. Web2 Utility: imo just short-term rotation in mid Dec. There are a bunch of small caps doing Insurance, Tax, Lending for example.
7. Jailbreak meta ( $FAI $JAIL #H4CK etc): You try and prompt the AI such that it gives you money for example. Honestly p cool experiments. Or whitehat exploits.
8. DeFi execution via ChatGPT interface, now called “DeFAI” ( #GRIFFAIN $ANON $LMT $BUZZ $PROMPT etc): Hottest narrative right now.
9. Simulation / Metaverse / Gaming, moreso a society of agents thing ( #VIRTUAL $HYPER $BNTY etc): I find the gaming angle less interesting (eg bunch of AI agents in Minecraft), but simulating a society of agents as an experiment is interesting.
10. Robotics - most tokens still incredibly low cap, so won't share here. Many have said 2025 will be the year of Physical AI (eg @friedberg on All-In), but hardware has always been difficult w crypto. @elizawakesup just launched their robot stuff though.
So far it seems like (3) and (5) have been in play for awhile now, while (8) and (9) are brewing.
Hope this mental framework is helpful. Glhf!
The DeSci ecosystem has grown rapidly in the past month.
With many new projects surfacing, we have created a directory categorising them into sub-sectors, with descriptions of what they are building 👇🏽

LIVE NOW -- "Society of AI Agents" | Jansen Teng (Virtuals Protocol)
@ethermage of @virtuals_io joins @RyanSAdams and @cryptopunk7213 to discuss what Virtuals' grand vision is. Virtuals isn’t just another protocol—it’s an entirely new kind of “digital nation” where AI agents hold their own wallets, strike deals with other agents, and even hire humans to accomplish their goals.
We dive into how these agents first exploded onto the scene, why controlling their own money changes the AI game, and what “agent commerce” means for crypto at large 👇
