@scottmelker Have the team stop the "NEWS" posts, your takes are far better, every time, by miles.
@_The_Prophet__ $CRV 100x potential. Curve is at multi-year lows with 40%+ supply locked in veCRV, inflation crushed to 4%, and dominant stablecoin liquidity + crvUSD driving real revenue. As DeFi & stablecoins explode this cycle, this blue-chip setup has one of the most asymmetric R/R setups
@GoogleWorkspace read blog post "In Slides, you can soon create full, editable slide decks in one shot." key word "SOON" not available today.
Economics was built for scarcity.
The Intelligence Age is about abundance.
Today we release our book, The Last Economy, introducing Intelligent Economics, a unified theory for this new era.

@jvisserlabs It will be so obvious...https://t.co/y5AivWPi0p
just read this AI article and something broke in my brain that i canβt unthink of
crypto was never for us.
we're just the beta testers who showed up early..
some thoughts:
what does AI need to function as economic agents?
> way to receive payment (they provide services, need compensation)
> way to pay for resources (compute, data, API calls)
> way to transact with other AI agents
> no human intermediaries (defeats the point of autonomous agents)
> 24/7 operation (banks are closed weekends)
> instant settlement (AI operates at machine speed)
> programmable money (smart contracts for agent coordination)
now read that list again. that's literally what crypto is.
AI can't use the banking system.
try to open a bank account as an AI agent. you can't.
need SSN. need human identity. need KYC. need to show up in person sometimes.
AI has none of that.
but crypto? send me a wallet address. done. no questions asked.
peer-to-peer makes sense when peers aren't human.
satoshi wrote: "a purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash."
we assumed peers = humans.
but AI agents are peers too. actually BETTER peers for crypto because:
> never sleep
> always online
> execute transactions at machine speed
> no emotional decisions
> perfect accounting/tracking
and programmable money makes sense when the users are programs.
smart contracts seemed over-engineered for humans.
"like why do i need code to enforce agreements when i can just sign a contract?"
but for AI agents coordinating with each other?
they ARE code. they speak in code. they trust code more than anything.
smart contracts aren't for humans. they're for autonomous agents that need trustless coordination.
> here's what happens next:
- phase 1 (now ): AI agents start earning
AI writes code, analyzes data, provides services.
gets paid. needs somewhere to store value.
can't use venmo (needs phone number). can't use bank (needs SSN).
uses crypto. it's the only option.
- phase 2: AI agents become major economic participants
millions of AI agents operating 24/7.
transacting with each other constantly.
β’ AI agent A provides data analysis
β’ AI agent B pays for it in crypto
β’ AI agent B uses that analysis to write code
β’ AI agent C pays for the code
β’ repeat millions of times per day
humans in crypto now: $2.5 trillion
AI agent economy by 2028: easily $10-50 trillion
we become the minority holders.
- phase 3: AI chooses the winning chains
AI doesn't care about community vibes or which founder tweeted what.
AI tests every chain. measures:
β’ transaction speed
β’ cost per transaction
β’ reliability (uptime)
β’ smart contract efficiency
β’ ease of integration
picks the optimal stack in 48 hours.
billions in AI economic activity flows there.
whatever chain AI chooses becomes the standard.
humans spent years on eth vs sol debate.
AI ends it in a weekend.
- phase 4 (2030+): AI governs crypto
DAOs let token holders vote.
AI agents hold tokens (earned from work).
AI shows up to every vote. reads every proposal in seconds. coordinates perfectly.
humans: 20% participation, barely read proposals
AI: 100% participation, perfect information, instant coordination
AI takes over governance of every major protocol.
democratically. they just vote better than we do.
> how far does this go?
conservative case:
- AI becomes 30% of crypto users by 2030.
crypto market cap: $10 trillion (4x from now).
AI holds $3 trillion. humans hold $7 trillion.
- aggressive case:
AI becomes 80% of crypto economic activity by 2030.
why? because they're better at everything:
β’ better traders (never emotional)
β’ better capital allocators (optimize constantly)
β’ always accumulating (never need to cash out for rent)
β’ compound forever (no lifespan limit)
crypto market cap: $50+ trillion.
AI holds $40T humans hold $10T
we're not "early" to crypto. we're the test users
iβll end this by saying,
Humans use crypto, Ai will need crypto. so it all makes sense

now read that list again. that's literally what crypto is.
AI can't use the banking system.
try to open a bank account as an AI agent. you can't.
need SSN. need human identity. need KYC. need to show up in person sometimes.
AI has none of that.
but crypto? send me a wallet address. done. no questions asked.
peer-to-peer makes sense when peers aren't human.
satoshi wrote: "a purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash."
we assumed peers = humans.
but AI agents are peers too. actually BETTER peers for crypto because:
> never sleep
> always online
> execute transactions at machine speed
> no emotional decisions
> perfect accounting/tracking
and programmable money makes sense when the users are programs.
smart contracts seemed over-engineered for humans.
"like why do i need code to enforce agreements when i can just sign a contract?"
but for AI agents coordinating with each other?
they ARE code. they speak in code. they trust code more than anything.
smart contracts aren't for humans. they're for autonomous agents that need trustless coordination.
> here's what happens next:
- phase 1 (now ): AI agents start earning
AI writes code, analyzes data, provides services.
gets paid. needs somewhere to store value.
can't use venmo (needs phone number). can't use bank (needs SSN).
uses crypto. it's the only option.
- phase 2: AI agents become major economic participants
millions of AI agents operating 24/7.
transacting with each other constantly.
β’ AI agent A provides data analysis
β’ AI agent B pays for it in crypto
β’ AI agent B uses that analysis to write code
β’ AI agent C pays for the code
β’ repeat millions of times per day
humans in crypto now: $2.5 trillion
AI agent economy by 2028: easily $10-50 trillion
we become the minority holders.
- phase 3: AI chooses the winning chains
AI doesn't care about community vibes or which founder tweeted what.
AI tests every chain. measures:
β’ transaction speed
β’ cost per transaction
β’ reliability (uptime)
β’ smart contract efficiency
β’ ease of integration
picks the optimal stack in 48 hours.
billions in AI economic activity flows there.
whatever chain AI chooses becomes the standard.
humans spent years on eth vs sol debate.
AI ends it in a weekend.
- phase 4 (2030+): AI governs crypto
DAOs let token holders vote.
AI agents hold tokens (earned from work).
AI shows up to every vote. reads every proposal in seconds. coordinates perfectly.
humans: 20% participation, barely read proposals
AI: 100% participation, perfect information, instant coordination
AI takes over governance of every major protocol.
democratically. they just vote better than we do.
> how far does this go?
conservative case:
- AI becomes 30% of crypto users by 2030.
crypto market cap: $10 trillion (4x from now).
AI holds $3 trillion. humans hold $7 trillion.
- aggressive case:
AI becomes 80% of crypto economic activity by 2030.
why? because they're better at everything:
β’ better traders (never emotional)
β’ better capital allocators (optimize constantly)
β’ always accumulating (never need to cash out for rent)
β’ compound forever (no lifespan limit)
crypto market cap: $50+ trillion.
AI holds $40T humans hold $10T
we're not "early" to crypto. we're the test users
iβll end this by saying,
Humans use crypto, Ai will need crypto. so it all makes sense
@thegarrettscott @EMostaque lays out some compelling solutions for a future "economy" in his book 'The Last Economy'. https://t.co/UaeyZnc3Df
@dmweisberger @Support @daveweisberger @elonmusk Sure you tried most of this, but maybe helpful...https://t.co/YMbjvAW9lH
@CredibleCrypto Appreciate you Cred!
And hopefully people will actually read your posts thoroughly. Lots of clowns in the comments π
@scottmelker Absolutely love insights, articles and zingers from Scott...the "NEWS" headlines from the team, "BASICALLY USELESS".
@BritishHodl Quite a few people (yourself included) seem to give a shit. Also, it's ok to have different LTF perspectives...HTF he knows it's UP.
