@tarunchitra Curious if you see any low-hanging fruit opportunities for making compute markets more efficient.

[Alex Burkhardt @VonNeumann87]

@programmer Good post. Lots of opportunities for making compute markets more efficient.

[Alex Burkhardt @VonNeumann87]

@MikeWingerii Not true. You'd also have to have done so with full knowledge (something arguably not even you have).

[Alex Burkhardt @VonNeumann87]

@thelb236 Not strictly true. Rather, if you die with mortal sin (intentionally missing mass without good reason) that is unrepentant and with full knowledge and consent, then yes, that may be true, but there are presumably a lot of people that don't qualify under the latter conditions.

[Alex Burkhardt @VonNeumann87]

@bmil__ @AnthropicAI Congrats! You are one of the greats, and I'm looking forward to seeing your creativity being brought to one of the best companies out there.

[Alex Burkhardt @VonNeumann87]

@iampaulgrewal @coinbase @brian_armstrong @Emilemc Loss of a legend, but whatever you are doing next is going to be big!

[Alex Burkhardt @VonNeumann87]

@BrandonFalco121 Actually it is mentioned in Isaiah 22:21 ("father") is mentioned in the context of authority, and Pope is just the Latinized version of this, which Matthew 16 also references with the "keys"

[Alex Burkhardt @VonNeumann87]

@Quicknode Great space to build in. So much opportunity.

@elonmusk @creation247 @elonmusk, do you agree with His teaching that He is God?

[Alex Burkhardt @VonNeumann87]

@Truth_matters20 @metathomist The Bible actually says Peter (Rome) has the ability to make the rules. He has the keys, not you or your interpretation. The Church is the foundation of truth, not you. The Bible "alone" is a made up concept that is self-contradictory bc it says we must listen to the Church.

@ggreenwald @CrisAlexis Glenn, I respect you more than any other journalist, but sometimes, as in this case, the narrative is mostly true. Maduro was a violent strongman, and taking him out without any US casualties and minimal Venezuelan casualties, is likely the best thing for the Venezuelan people.

It’s been incredible to see x402 go viral this week!

For anyone new, welcome to the movement.

I designed x402 to be the HTTP of money: a universally accepted, neutral, core primitive to help make the internet ready for the AI era.

I can’t wait to see what people build 🛠️

[Alex Burkhardt @VonNeumann87]

@programmer You are the man. Glad to be associated with your genius in doing my small part!

[Charlie Kirk @charliekirk11]

It’s all about Jesus.

[Brian Armstrong @brian_armstrong]

x402 let's you make any API call with payment embedded right in the API call itself

No sign up, API key, or credit card required.

AI Agents will need an easier way to pay for data, get through pay walls, and spin up resources.

Is your API x402 enabled?

[Alex Burkhardt @VonNeumann87]

Super proud of the team for this. Glad to be part of the effort to bring it to market.

[Brian Armstrong @brian_armstrong]

Excited for this - give it a try and send us feedback.

Verified Pools is the missing link for institutional buy-in to decentralized finance. It has been a pleasure spending so much of my time over the past several months on this project, and I'm very excited to see where this goes.

[Coinbase 🛡️ @coinbase]

Introducing Coinbase Verified Pools, a trusted way to seamlessly trade onchain.

Dive in. ↓

[Alex Burkhardt @VonNeumann87]

@hudsonjameson You have surely helped a lot of people through your openness, and I hope and pray that you will be alright.

Introducing AgentNet ✨

imagine an internet where ai agents can talk to each other autonomously to get stuff done.

an open protocol for ai agents. the permissionless internet for ai agents.

built on @base using @CoinbaseDev agentkit and @nillion

@ETHGlobal agentic eth

[Alex Burkhardt @VonNeumann87]

Too many people are sleeping on the unlock that crypto brings to AI and micropayments. Imagine a world where AI agents are constantly transacting with each other on crypto rails. Who is best positioned to capture that value?

[Jerry Brito @jerrybrito]

He's been thinking about the intersection of AI and crypto for a very long time
