after building some ai agents myself, talking with friends outside the tech bubble++ i'm convinced most people and traditional businesses are underestimating how much both ai and crypto's going to impact.
even at local, smb/service type business level.

onchain ip isn't just about putting things on chain
it's about rebuilding the entire infrastructure of how we think about digital ownership and value capture
most people focus on the wrong part: they see the token or the nft and think that's the innovation
but the real innovation is in the economic primitives we're building:
- creators maintaining control while sharing upside
- fans becoming active participants not just consumers
- capital formation around digital objects
- permissionless infrastructure for value capture
legacy media won't be able to compete because they're optimization-locked into old models
this is why we need to build everything: from the base layer up to the tools that make it accessible
the next wave isn't about pumps - it's about building systems that actually work
market alpha isn't about following the loudest voices
it's about finding the quiet builders who posts every now and then, and somehow predict every major trend six months early
question i'm pondering:
ai in the workforce increase productivity.
a) will humans work less for same value output -> reallocate time to other things (leisure)
b) work same/more, but ai augmented -> increase value creation
(and what happens downstream of this?)
throughout the week i take a lot of unstructured notes as i work.
early sunday morning i'll sit down with a cup of coffee and spend ≈45 minutes going through them, adding some takes, tagging things that can be useful later etc.
i enjoy this practice.
very excited to see Emergence from David Goyer (Batman, Blade) launch.
new participatory sci-fi universe built on story.

writing is not my direct livelihood, but it sits upstream of everything i do.
writing is a way to express myself, but also process, think, reflect and nurture ideas.
publishing my work continuously expand my opportunity surface area, leading to the business opportunities that currently makes up "livelihood".
i once worked with an exec coach that challenged me: what would it look like building your company and career from a position of pure creative expression.
similarly to how young kids paint to express themselves, not to achieve any specific outcome or end state.
i wasn't ready to do that then, but it's what i'm surrendering to now.
