Every era has a resource so fundamental it becomes money. Bitcoin turns energy into currency. Trustless, global and censorship-resistant. AI is doing something even more powerful: it turns energy into intelligence. Deployable anywhere and useful for almost everything. But intelligence has no native financial primitive. It isn't fungible. It can't move outside the dollar system. Pearl changes that. Pearl is the first asset natively produced by AI and natively secured by AI. Every GPU cycle producing LLM tokens can simultaneously mint Pearl tokens with marginal extra electricity, zero wasted compute and one unified primitive. 2-for-1. Sitting atop one of the largest capital expenditures in history, Pearl changes the unit economics of AI. This is what sets Pearl’s breakthrough apart. Previous attempts at useful-work blockchains captured a narrow slice of compute. Pearl's addressable market is every matmul computation on earth which, at current trends, will be the majority of all compute. Bitcoin’s security is competing with AI for energy. Pearl's security scales with AI adoption. Proof of work represents humanity's demand for energy, monetized. Pearl represents humanity's demand for intelligence, monetized. Pearl is now live.

Cobie predicts a massive shift in market culture over the next 3 to 5 years. He says we will see "a finance native, like, Clavicular kind of person" emerge who is "phenomenally talented in the markets." Instead of standard media, it will be a "clavicular type format" where "someone takes a bunch of positions in public and shows their life and the ups and downs of being that." If this aligns with the right conditions, we are looking at a "10X version" of the Roaring Kitty phenomenon.

Dario Amodei（Anthropic CEO）说要花1万亿$买算力， 很多人都在转他这个豪言壮语，但没人告诉你他后半句说了啥， 我觉得这根本不是什么雄心壮志， 更像是整个AI行业最绝望的生存宣言🤔 他原话是这么说的👇 如果2027年底营收不到一万亿， 地球上没有任何力量能阻止我破产， 有了一万亿营收，我才能买五万亿的算力。 更可怕的是他后面的补充： “我脑子里有一部分在怀疑， 增长还能不能继续保持十倍， 2027年我可能根本买不起每年一万亿的算力” 给我的感觉是像在演示一个极端脆弱的生存方程， 如果营收必须每年十倍爆炸， 那么只要差一点或者晚一年， 整个模型都得直接崩盘🤯 仔细研究了下，这就是缩放定律最残酷的经济学体现， 也就是技术可行不等于经济可行，如果现在每一代前沿模型的成本已经到了一个非常高的天文数字， 那么你必须赌指数级增长，要不然只能出局🥺 按目前的趋势， 2027年显然不是又一个普通的大模型年，大概率是整个行业的生死线， 要么成为像电力一样的通用基础设施，要么集体破产，没有中间态， 最讽刺的是很多人都把Dario的破产警示，剪成了励志金句， 用来制造FOMO，用来吹算力就是新石油， 没人愿意听那个藏在豪言背后的颤抖的声音， 感觉现在整个AI行业都在玩同一个俄罗斯轮盘赌， 所有人都必须一直扣扳机， 谁先停就谁先死， 但没人知道枪里到底有没有子弹 #AI# #Anthropic# #大模型#

Crypto is paying a high price for years of altcoin scams and grifts. It can feel like a toxic industry where very little value is created. It's easy to feel disillusioned and wish you were focusing on AI-related trading, businesses, or working at a startup in that sector. Many companies and investment firms have already begun the rotation out of Crypto. Don't let your apathy make you unproductive; it's your personal responsibility to continue learning about the world. If you feel the call of the wild, then go. For the ones brave enough to stick around, not only will the risk-reward be as asymmetric as it's been in recent history, the concentration of upside in a handful of assets will make it EASIER to generate massive returns. There is less capital looking at Crypto exposure than ever before. This all changes with a rapid repricing in Bitcoin this year, which I believe is inevitable. For a long time in Crypto, nothing felt buyable due to an excess of capital being forced to deploy in a sector with limited opportunity. We're in a new regime now. We're reaching a similar level of apathy that I felt during 2019 and 2022. I almost quit Crypto to go back to TradFi. It's no surprise those were the years where I generated the bulk of my returns (sans Hyperliquid). Outside of trading, if you're passionate about the space, companies that are still building during this period will be positioned to take advantage of the inevitable reacceleration of this industry. Working at top-tier companies in the space is more accessible than ever due to a shortage of people entering the field. Don't undervalue your time.

rates in DeFi are too low for the level of risk $11.7B sitting in Morpho vaults today at 2-4% APY. retail is funding these markets via exchanges thinking it's a savings account. it's not. they're taking real credit risk on crypto-collateralized lending no institution accepts near risk-free rates to come on-chain not all vaults are created equal. same 2-4% yield but completely different risk profile (different curators, collateral, LLTVs). retail picks the highest number. farmers will farm back in the day >100% APYs in DeFi made sense. you were compensated for the risk you were taking. DeFi is a different animal today but vol, historical dislocations, and looping strategies on crypto collateral still demand at least 300-400 bps above risk-free. we're nowhere near that. @LucaProsperi ran the math (see below). tldr - fair value spread on ETH/BTC-collateralized lending is 250-400 bps above risk-free. observed rates are a fraction of that last cycle we saw a lot of retail pour savings into algo stablecoins promising "risk free" yield. this cycle vaults have a lot of demand but they are mispriced for the level of risk. you're trusting someone to LP into vaults and trust the manager will manage position at least private credit earned you 12-16% go read this:
