The more I think about it, the more obvious it becomes that AI may be the strongest bull case for crypto.
Far beyond anything we’ve ever imagined or hoped for.
This is no longer about bringing finance onchain to make existing systems more efficient.
It’s about building the financial rails for an entirely new (agentic) economy, one that will have orders of magnitude more participants than the human economy could ever sustain.
What has been a vision or a dream for us will become a necessity for AI.
Many people are already painting the devil on the wall, warning about software, white-collar jobs,

Yahoo vs Google was the greatest fumble in internet history.
ChatGPT vs Claude will be the greatest fumble in AI history.

People hating on MegaETH while they’re doing literally everything right is the ultimate proof:
The biggest problem isn’t them, it’s us.
First step to healing this industry is getting expectations back in check.
Everything else comes after.

You can’t teach that kind of stubbornness.
And you can’t beat it either.

What people get wrong about AI:
It won’t eliminate jobs. It will eliminate mediocrity.
If your only value was showing up and doing average work, you’re already being replaced.
Deep down you know it and that’s why you’re scared.

Seems like you actually have skill.

Imagine you spent your whole life climbing a career ladder that AI is about to wipe out.
Not in 10 years. Now.
Dark times ahead for those who never figured out who they are without their work.

The idea of a superchain was cool, but Base just killed that fairytale.
When will crypto people finally understand that there’s no such thing as “ecosystem alignment”?
There are only businesses doing business.

A huge issue in this industry that’s still barely discussed is that most founders don’t care about building a real product.
Because for them, the token is the product.
You wouldn’t believe how often founders have flexed in DMs or calls about how much money they make by trading their own token treasury with market makers.
The entire system is propped up by deeply misaligned incentives:
- Exchanges: enable this extractive behavior in the first place, so you can take a massive cut of the total supply
- Market makers: this is essentially their entire reason for existing
- KOLs: get paid to hype t

9 out of 10 crypto VCs I'm talking to right now aren't investing because of "market conditions".
Calling yourself contrarian while only deploying in bull markets is literally the most crypto thing ever.

CT hasn’t felt this dead in a long, long time.
Bullish.
