I want to share a quick thread on the @meta_pool Values. This is a two part series ;) 1/ We will always put users first. Not negotiable, if we want crypto to become widely use. We have to know who is using it and why.

Ready for it!

This was a fantastic podcast on the state of AI with @benedictevans. Gives a much-needed zoom-out of how AI compares to previous technology adoption curves. Nugget that sticks with me: the people in SF walking around with laptops open to keep their Claude Code running, are like the people using Telnet in the 90s. They are completely unrepresentative of what AI mass adoption will look like. Yes consumers are "using AI" today, but only ~1% are paying. This means they don't see enough value in frontier intelligence to even pay $20/month for it. They are mostly using AI as a search engine, and they are not willing to pay (in time, learning curve, and money) to see what the big fuss is about. That will change. Right now we are in the AOL / dial-up phase of this technology. Committed overly-online people can see what's coming. But the rest of the world genuinely doesn't see it yet. And that partially explains why although it's become a huge topic of conversation, it's a conversation happening in multiple registers at the same time, and people on opposite sides genuinely can't see what the others are talking about.

🚨 BREAKING: 100+ companies just backed Open USD, a dollar stablecoin run by a new independent company, Open Standard. Zach Abrams is interim CEO. Five-minute reaction (and personal views only.) The instinct is to count the logos when you see a lot of them. The design choices matter much more. - No mint or redemption fees by default - No arbitrary caps when you scale from $10k to $10m - Reserve yield shared by default (issuers used to keep it) This is clearly about scale, and going after the larger, industrial-grade payments volume. Open Standard runs like a financial market infrastructure. It remids me more of things like SWIFT, the card networks, the clearing houses. Owned broadly, governed by a board, a little "boring" on purpose. --- Credible neutrality is the whole game. One company's coin is a product. A coin a hundred competitors agree to share becomes a standard. The cap tables of SWIFT and the early clearing houses were the incumbents of their day in one room. This rhymes. Look at the breadth too. Banks, card networks, crypto natives, fintechs, big tech, on one coin. A global PSP, a community bank, an international long-tail player. Everyone finds an animal in the picture that looks like them. That breadth is the ultra significant bit. --- For stablecoins to get beyond their current use cases, we needed something that got rid of the penalties for scale (like mint burn fees) and could handle massive volume. Today's stablecoin use cases are a rounding error against what's coming. with ~$300B in circulation. SWIFT instructs an average of 5 to 6 trillions a day. The card networks settle trillions. Capital markets, QUADRILLIONS. The prize is moving those flows on-chain, 24/7, with the settlement guarantees regulated money actually needs. If you build payments, capital markets or treasury, this is the rails question of the decade. Read the design choices first. The logo wall is the easy story.

Currently trying to figure out how to most deeply bet the house long term on crypto beyond being fully allocated PA and time wise to the industry. Whether its building needed community, writing about the right markets or building the right relationships... not nessecarily a monetary factor. I've consistently always found the biggest payouts happen when you double down when others have already fled. Those that stay, get to build and steward the empire.

I don’t use loops for coding software with AI. I’ve been using the AI agentic loop capability for months to run one small VC fund, two other businesses, one Shopify store, and two Instagram accounts on my own. Here’s how I do it:
