I like a lot about Venice AI:

1) It's a strong bet on open-source AI and commoditizing models
2) Instead of a pay-per-request model for API access, it uses staking the VVV token to access inference—which incentivizes holding it. If you need more inference, you can buy more tokens to stake, and you'll even earn more VVV emissions while using the compute resources
3) The 7-day cooldown period for unstaking helps reduce market volatility and fosters long-term commitment
4) Compute and energy are still the main long-term constraints. As AI agents market grows, the price of VVV should follow—giving the Venice team more liquidity to invest capex or secure better compute resources at improved rates.
5) It's implicitly long Base & Farcaster given the targeted airdrop
6) Voorhees is a post-economic crypto OG and missionary, so he's as long-term oriented as possible
