The cold expanse of space contains my greatest accomplishments and deepest regrets. It’s where I feel the most alone and the most confluent.
I’m starbound✨
I find it odd, disturbing, and deeply unjust that after centuries of colonization, land theft, and racial oppression, many white settlers never left South Africa—even after apartheid ended. The situation reflects the lingering effects of colonialism, where power, land, and wealth were accumulated through violent conquest but never truly returned to the rightful indigenous people.
"AI agents will hold more crypto than humans within a decade."
Charles Hoskinson (@IOHK_Charles) studied math, dropped out, built one of the only blockchains designed by peer-reviewed research. He co-founded Ethereum, walked away over how it was run, and built Cardano to do it differently.
The man who has argued with everyone in this industry now thinks the biggest user of crypto won't be people at all.
"Humans are a rounding error in the system we're building. AI agents don't sleep, don't panic-sell, and don't care about price. They transact in tokens because that's the only thing they can actually use."
We cover:
- Why AI agents (not humans) become the dominant on-chain actors, and what that does to every token model
- The infrastructure that has to exist before agents can transact safely at scale
- Why most current blockchains can't handle machine-speed transactions
- Where Cardano's research-first approach fits in a world of autonomous agents
- The identity problem: how do you tell a human from an agent on-chain, and why it matters
- Why he's bullish on the technology but blunt about the timeline
- What he thinks the rest of the industry is getting wrong about AI + crypto
- The one thing that has to happen for any of this to be real
Thanks to Charles for coming on @new_era_finance.

Meet Barzillai Lew: Black American musician, patriot, and Revolutionary War veteran. Black American music history didn’t start in the 1900s—it helped build America from the beginning.

A plan to destroy Black music, detailed in a Harvard University study by Kissinger and Nixon, was implemented 65 years ago. The results are visible today. #BlackMusic#Culture
@hunniiibeee0 If you could master one area of your life over the next 12 months—health, wealth, relationships, spirituality, purpose, or something else—which would you choose, and why?
The 1970s is the greatest decade of music. Particularly that stretch between 1973-1979 with a hyperfocus on 1976. The ONE good song on Drake's Iceman is a Denense Williams Sample of Free. A song with Earth Wind and Fire was the backing musicians. Todays music CANNOT SURVIVE without the black 70s music.
