Here are some things to follow for anyone trying to work with seasoned KOLs.
1) Lead with clear value for them, not just your needs.
2) Treat their time, reputation, and boundaries seriously.
3) Do your homework before the first message.
4) Never question their finances or decisions when the problem originated on your side unless you want them to discuss it publicly.
5) Be transparent about stage, risks, and expectations.
6) Small consistent actions (paying on time, giving accurate info, following through on minor promises) build more credibility than big future promises.
7) Make collaboration easy and low-friction.
8) Never put them in a position where supporting you makes them look foolish, compromised, or associated with drama.
9) Communicate like a peer, not a fan or a boss.
10) Know when to walk away cleanly. (both sides)

Let's see if they actually act.
VIVA SPAIN.
AI is getting dramatically cheaper.
Since GPT-4 launched in 2023, the cost of achieving the same level of model intelligence has fallen by 1000x+.
Better models matter. But lower inference costs are what unlock mass adoption.
Every major wave of software scales when it becomes affordable, not just more capable.

I haven't typed a line of code since December.
The job is shifting from writing code to expressing intent, reviewing outputs, and orchestrating AI agents.
Programming isn't disappearing.
The interface is changing.
The biggest shift in software engineering isn’t that AI can write code.
It’s that the engineer’s role is moving up a layer.
You’re not typing every line into an editor anymore. You’re defining the outcome, giving agents the right context, setting constraints, and reviewing what they produce.
The scarce skill is no longer syntax. It’s judgment.
That may be the most important change to software engineering in decades.
Crypto in 2026 is in its reality-check era. The euphoria of the 2021 cycle has faded, leaving a market that's increasingly focused on fundamentals over hype. The next five years will likely be defined by stronger infrastructure, real-world adoption, and the tokenization of financial assets moving into the mainstream.
The future of AI won’t be one model handling every request.
Model routers can already select between cheaper and more capable LLMs based on task complexity - optimizing quality without paying frontier-model prices for every query.
The orchestration layer may become more valuable than the model itself.

The future of compute is not “put every data center in space.”
It is making compute cheaper, more distributed, and easier to access on Earth.
Space compute may serve niche workloads, but launch costs, latency, radiation, repairs, and hardware replacement are not minor details.
Big vision is useful. Ignoring basic economics is not.

The story behind this speech…
Tzedek invited @LindseyGrahamSC to honor him for his extraordinary leadership on the First Step Act. When the bill hit a brick wall and almost everyone had given up, Lindsey stepped in and helped save it.
But that night, he quietly pulled me aside and said, “We have a chance to save countless Iranian lives and finally bring lasting peace and stability to the Middle East.” He asked if I would forgive him for leaving, spoke briefly, and rushed back to urgent phone calls.
That was Lindsey. He never cared about the recognition—only about getting the job done. While others went home, he kept working late into the night for the American people.
We lost a giant. May his memory be a blessing.

Tzedek will always be grateful for his friendship and steadfast support. We extend our deepest condolences to his family and all who loved him. His legacy will continue to live on through the countless lives he touched. May his memory be a blessing.
Man, for the longest time, I’d argue with a couple of friends that the real future of crypto is all about RWAs and actual projects with utility.
I still 100% believe RWAs are the endgame, just maybe not as soon as I was hoping. But I also see the massive attraction of memes now. It’s the same reason prediction markets are blowing up: people want that shot to score big and change their whole financial situation. Odds are slim as hell, but catch the right one, and you can actually retire your bloodline.
Bitcoiners love to say "that’s not what it’s about," but, truth be told, it was exactly that back in the day. I know friends who bought BTC at $4, I was in those early forums and groups during the $BTC & $DOGE faucet era… they got rich buying low and selling high. Same with a ton of my $SHIB brothers and sisters who sold the top or damn near it. It’s all about understanding the game.
When I hear "HODL" I say yeah, but only for like 50% or less of your bag. Take some profits, let the rest ride. That’s where the real risk is. It either moons or it dies.
That’s exactly why I see memes as a big part of the future right now. They bring in the retail investors like nothing else. Solana gets it - they’re doing both memes AND RWAs, but that initial explosion was 100% memes. That culture ain’t dying. It’s about community at the foundation, and KOLs as the mouthpiece. $Ansem just showed the whole world how powerful that combo still is.
LFG memes bring the retail traders in!
