Holochain's status in 2026, and what they learned from crypto capital and its failures (as well as their own): Cameron Burgess et al. : 2026, wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Holoc… < " we’re still here, and we’re still building. The code is in the repositories, the protocol is stable, and the infrastructure runs. We haven’t delivered at the scale or on the timeline we hoped and promised. But we haven’t stopped. " > Cameron Burgess et al. : "We raised significant ICO money in 2018, listed the token on exchanges to give it liquidity, and got caught in exactly the dynamics this paper criticises. After years of delays, we were relegated — in some people’s minds — to the same scrapheap as EOS and a thousand other projects that promised the world and struggled to deliver. We understand why. We made timeline commitments we couldn’t keep. We got too internalised — too consumed by the social, economic, and technical gravity of what we were building and the organisational weight of building it — and over time we began to lose the orientation toward service that the entire project embodied at the start. We’re not insulated from that critique. We’re directly implicated in it. What we don’t accept is the category. We used the financial machinery of 2018 because it was the only machinery there was — if you needed capital to build, you issued a token, and tokens attract speculators no matter what they were sold to do. But we were never building a better blockchain, or making another wager on the same architecture. We were building the web 3.0 that the prevailing crypto industry architecture claimed to be, but could never become by design. The infrastructure we’re now shipping is what makes the machinery we had to use unnecessary. That being said, we’re also one of the very few early ICO projects that are still operational. HOT, the ERC-20 token from our 2018 ICO, peaked at $0.03 in April 2021 — a moment when the notional value of our treasury touched $284 million, and it would have been easy to read that number as a measure of success. It wasn’t. It was part of the speculative tide that lifted the entire sector, and it receded just as fast. Today HOT trades around $0.0004. That’s also an almost 99% decline from peak. We’re not telling you this because we think you haven’t noticed. We’re telling you this because it’s the same story as EOS, Filecoin, Bancor and Tezos — all of which raised eight to ten times what we did and now sit at tiny fractions of their all-time highs. And it isn’t a story about who shipped and who didn’t. Filecoin built working decentralised storage; Internet Computer put live infrastructure in the market. Both still fell more than 99% from their 2021 peaks. The price tracked the asset class, not the delivery — which is exactly the dynamic we’re describing. It’s the same story as the majority of projects in this space, and if we’re going to ask you to pay attention to what we’ve built, we have to stand inside that economic reality without flinching. One critical difference is that we’re still here, and we’re still building. The code is in the repositories, the protocol is stable, and the infrastructure runs. We haven’t delivered at the scale or on the timeline we hoped and promised. But we haven’t stopped. And that distinction is about to matter." (decent.holoventures.io/01-th…)

I hate that I have to make money to survive. That shit isn't even real. Just numbers on a screen and pieces of paper/metal. If we pooled all our resources together, we wouldn't need to overwork ourselves for a small bunch of loveless parasites.

I want a government so small it doesn’t matter who wins elections.

🤖 BlackRock’s "Machine-Native Economy" Paper & The Missing Link: Why AI Agents Need Holochain, HoloHosting, and Unyt 🧵👇 BlackRock’s recent research highlights how AI agents and digital assets are converging into a "Machine-Native Economy". However, traditional blockchain infrastructure faces major bottlenecks. Here is how Holochain, HoloHosting, and Unyt solve them: 1️⃣ Holochain (Agent-Centric Architecture) • The Bottleneck: Traditional permissionless blockchains suffer from strict block space limits, high gas fees, and global consensus latency—all of which will choke high-frequency AI agent interactions. • The Holochain Solution: Blockchains are data-centric, forcing the entire network to validate every single transaction. Holochain is Agent-Centric. Every AI agent operates its own source-chain and interacts directly peer-to-peer via a Distributed Hash Table (DHT)—eliminating gas fees and global consensus bottlenecks completely. 2️⃣ HoloHosting (P2P Compute Market) • The Bottleneck: BlackRock highlights that compute is becoming a primary economic commodity, requiring AI agents to dynamically discover, price, and provision computing capacity on-demand. • The HoloHosting Solution: Holo is a decentralized P2P compute marketplace where hosts offer spare processing power to distributed applications (hApps) and AI agents. It directly realizes BlackRock’s vision for dynamic, autonomous compute sourcing. 3️⃣ Unyt / HoloFuel (Mutual Credit & Compute-Backed Money) • The Bottleneck: While fiat-backed stablecoins (like USDC) lead today, BlackRock notes that compute capacity itself must become a standardized asset class and settlement unit for machine payments. • The Unyt Solution: Unyt (and HoloFuel) is a Mutual Credit accounting system backed directly by Compute Capacity, rather than fiat debt. Free from mining/gas fees and fiat inflation, it enables millions of micro-transactions per second with zero overhead—delivering true Machine-Native Money. 💡 Conclusion: BlackRock correctly diagnoses the future: Autonomous AI Agents + Machine-Native Payments + Compute Commodity Markets. While legacy blockchains will struggle with scaling and gas fees, the Holochain + HoloHosting + Unyt stack provides the exact agent-centric, zero-gas, compute-backed framework required for a truly autonomous digital economy. @BlackRock @BlackRockFact @Holochain @H_O_L_O_ @unytco blackrock.com/us/individual/…

Europe is digitising money with CBDCs. But why only digitise the old system? Mutual credit creates liquidity from real economic relationships and capacity. CBDC digitises money. Mutual credit digitises trust. Europe should explore both. Build MCC’s on holochain

How expensive does everything need to get before you finally realize Money is a SCAM used to ENSLAVE & CONTROL Humanity?

I could've been making much more money elsewhere, but I'm stubborn and I've stuck it out, through all the frustrations, grief, insults, and setbacks, because I believe that Holochain can be part of the answer to how to un-fuck this world.
