A guy named Tolkien wrote two books in the 1950s.
The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. Hobbits, wizards, rings, Mordor. That stuff.
Fast forward to 2026. The CEO of one of the biggest AI companies on earth just wrote an important essay about AI.
He could have used anything to explain it. Numbers. Graphs. Tech talk.
He used Hobbits.
His point:
AI is moving FAST. Like shockingly fast. In just 4 years it went from barely writing code to basically doing the work of entire teams.
But governments? Laws? Rules?
Still moving like they’re in 1995.
He compared it to a scene in Lord of the Rings where Hobbits are running around trying to wake up these giant ancient trees called Ents to help them fight.
But the Ents move SO slow that by the time they’re ready it might already be too late.
That’s us right now.
Then it got weirder.
The Pope yes the actual Pope wrote an official document warning the world about AI.
He didn’t quote scientists or tech experts.
He quoted Gandalf. The wizard. From Lord of the Rings. 🧙
And THEN ChatGPT jumped on Twitter and quote tweeted OpenAI with a line straight from The Hobbit.
Two of the most powerful AI companies on earth having a conversation in Tolkien quotes. On the internet. In 2026.
So let’s recap:
✅ Top AI CEO explains AI using Hobbits
✅ The Pope quotes Gandalf as a warning
✅ AIs are publicly quoting Tolkien to each other
A guy who died in 1973 somehow wrote the most accurate description of 2026 that exists.
Hi! I really like the concept behind PokeLiquid. I have a few questions:
Do you plan to develop a mobile app for PokeLiquid (iOS and Android)?
Do you plan to support fiat deposits and withdrawals in the future (credit card, bank transfer, Apple Pay, etc.)?
Do you plan to introduce a revenue-sharing or dividend system for token holders, potentially with staking rewards or APY?
What is your long-term vision for PokeLiquid over the next 3–5 years?
How do you plan to ensure sufficient liquidity for trading and betting markets?
Are there plans to expand beyond Pokémon cards to other collectibles such as sports cards, TCGs, or graded collectibles?
Will there be governance features allowing the community or token holders to vote on future developments?
What do you see as the biggest challenge for PokeLiquid today?
Most people don't realize what they're looking at.
Pokeliquid is the first, and only, Pokemon perpetual futures DEX in the world. With real liquidity.
The degen market finds every asset class eventually. Crypto. Stocks. Sports cards. It's coming to Pokemon TCG.
But this isn't just for degens.
What happens when the biggest Pokemon collectors realize they can hedge their physical collections without selling a single card?
What happens when someone believes a grail is going up but doesn't have $1,500 liquid to own it?
They come to Pokeliquid.
The Pokemon TCG market is $2.7B/year and growing.
Capture 10% of that = $270M in annual nominal volume. At 2-10x leverage = real volume in the billions. Fees, liquidations, funding rates = millions per year.
We're not building a meme. We're building infrastructure for a $2.7B market that has no derivatives layer yet.
We're moving fast. The UX is getting better every day. Real liquidity. Real oracle. Real on-chain settlement.
More coming. Stay tuned.
