@gregisenberg We actually created an AI Agent that analyzes discord channels in the context of the entire product and codebase, proactively suggesting features and improvements that align with core user needs.
NFTs should act solely as token gating mechanisms—perhaps even serving as an identity for an AI agent.
The whole NFT wave was more about how beautiful your pass looks rather than what it actually does.
@QwQiao If the supply increases 1000x, what do you think the demand will be? And who is stopping them from generating a new version using Flux or Stable Diffusion?
After 10 years of being in crypto and trading, I need to address what's currently happening in our space.
This isn't just another market cycle - it's something far more concerning.
The Reality Check:
Meme coin trading has become a 24/7 sprint where:
• You're considered "late" after just 15 minutes
• Holding for 6-12 hours is seen as "long-term"
• Every new token launch feels like a trap
Let's be honest about what we're seeing:
1. The Speed
These aren't market cycles anymore - they're market seizures. When you need to be glued to your screen every second just to avoid being "late," something's fundamentally broken.
2. The Scams
The number of rugs, honeypots, and outright frauds is staggering. It's not just about "doing your research" anymore when you have minutes to make a decision.
3. The Burnout
I've traded through bull markets, bear markets, and everything in between. But this? This is different. The constant rotation, the 24/7 FOMO, the endless parade of "next big things" it's exhausting even the most seasoned folks.
4. The Community Impact
We're burning out builders who are chasing a dragon that doesn't exist. Real projects can't compete with pump-and-dumps masquerading as "communities."
Remember Warren Buffett's wisdom: "Only when the tide goes out do you discover who's been swimming naked."
Well, the tide is starting to shift, and we're seeing a lot of naked swimmers.
The Hard Truth:
• This isn't sustainable
• Good projects are being overshadowed
• Experienced traders are burning out
• The community is losing faith
It's going to get worse before it gets better.
But we need to start having honest conversations about where we're heading.
What We Need:
• Return to fundamentals
• Focus on sustainable growth
• Support for real builders
• Community-driven accountability
For those feeling the weight of this market:
You're not alone. It's okay to step back. It's okay to miss a pump. Your mental health matters more than any potential gains.
The market will be here tomorrow. Make sure you are too.
1) Fun fact: there are ~280 payment companies today building on cryptorails (!)
I've written a piece explaining the current financial system, major use cases for cryptorails, adoption challenges they're facing, and what the future might look like.

requiring customers to manually buy T-bills / money market funds to get yield is horrible UX and adds friction — people should be AUTOMATICALLY getting yield on whatever their money touches (via crypto rails), this should be the status quo
"Verticalized agents" is a bit of a meme among startups right now—but rightly so: Over the last year, we indexed too far into AI being a Swiss army knife—jack of all trades and master of none.
You simply cannot go wrong building something obsessively focused around a problem. And this is not simply because you will deliver value more precisely—but because the world is still behind in realizing what AI can do and your marketing message needs to spoonfed them: "DM and pitch creators on TikTok", "create HTML animations with speech", etc.
AI or not, my rule of thumb has always been that Version 1.0 of any product should be so verticalized that:
1) when a target user lands on the page, their only reaction is "Well, shit. This was made for me. I better sign up."
2) when you tell your friends & family what you're working on, it is so narrowly focused that you feel embarrassed
The biggest opportunities for AI Agents will be in expanding the market for software by automating work that most companies don’t do that well or never even did in the first place.
This will take on a number of forms but there are at least 3 big categories that highlight how much larger these markets will be as AI fully rolls out.
1. Verticals. Every industry has dozens or hundreds of workflows that are highly domain specific and where both the customer and the company have just expect it’s supposed to take forever or be painful. Processing a loan or an insurance claim, reviewing due diligence documents, generating a grant proposal, transcribing a patient visit, and thousands more. These are the processes full of tons of drudgery and have never been automated well in the past. When AI automates them, these will represent net new areas of software spend.
2. Startups and small businesses. Most startups and SMBs are strapped for resources. This means they don’t tend to have a lot of the expertise that larger companies have in legal, finance, HR, sales, or any number of topics. AI provides an instant ability to augment their own team as they scale up. This makes it faster and easier to start a company and will drive significant AI usage.
3. Teams in larger companies. We tend to think about the “enterprise” market monolithically but even within enterprises there’s an entire universe of funding allocation decisions that mean some teams have all the resources and others don’t. AI Agents let teams that that were previously strapped for resource finally solve their problems better. This could be building custom software for some bespoke workflow or automating a contracting management process in a non-core area.
The opportunity is to find industries or market segments that have always had painful tasks that never get done efficiently and automate them. This will produce markets far larger than we realize.
@SuiNetwork We built an AI Agent for SUI that indexes all the information from the Sui whitepaper, GitHub, and technical docs to help anyone learn about and build on the SUI Blockchain.
