have been actively spending less time on social last month or so; maybe missing some of the more nuance critiques, but what i saw seemed very mid; this is my take on coining media onchain https://x.com/jessewldn/status/1914479629835845701?s=46

their govts will ban/limit stable adoption — but citizens, still able to access crypto non-custodially, will continue to access a global grey market in DeFi

The crypto market is a chaotic mix of novel investment theses, macro trends, gambling, and human psychology. The crypto industry is a booming engine of innovation in the early days of revolutionizing the internet age. The market is not the industry. The industry is up only.

as far as platform shifts go -internet/ai reorder/unlock *information* -blockchains reorder/unlock *value* there’s been much more freedom to innovative on information because free speech/fair use is generally protected in the west—whereas financial value is heavily regulated. a perspective on why it’s “still early”

Good crypto x AI projects leverage the features of crypto to overcome limitations faced by AI. Here are three examples of challenges of AI: 1. Resources. To be competitive as an AI company you need to aggregate significant resources (compute and data) and talent. 2. Composability. Agents cannot reliably chain actions together. 3. Native Payments. Agents, while nearly infinite in their ability to act on a web made up of natural language, remain restricted by the fact that payment rails do not exist on internet rails. These challenges can be solved through separate features of crypto: economic ownership, verifiability, and self-custody.
