The Sovereign Protocol Hiding in Plain Sight
I’m a true believer in crypto as a tool for global self-sovereignty. After shutting down Laguna Games, I came to the realization that I only want to work with people who share this ethos. I’ve reached a point in life where most of my net worth lives behind seed phrases, not bank logins. I’m no longer interested in spending time with tourists. Too many people have flooded the space chasing easy money and hype. I’m here for something deeper. The true cypherpunk spirit survives in small pockets ...

Mining Intelligence
Since 2024 I’ve been circling Bittensor's ecosystem trying to form a thesis around it. What initially grabbed me was the idea that you could incentivize useful work. Since launch, Bitcoin bootstrapped the world’s largest supercomputer by paying people to brute force a math puzzle. The futurist in me loves the thought experiment that you could aim this same power at intelligence instead. Simple idea, but it turns out to be fucking complicated in practice. At a high level, Bittensor splits the ...

The Three Laws of LLMs
It's been a few weeks since my last post, and I'm feeling the weight of the challenge I've undertaken. How do I build an intelligent AI system I can trust implicitly? Against the backdrop of this hobby project, I've found myself increasingly reliant on centralized LLM tools for work at Codex, especially on the coding front. Re-reading my last post, I realize I was too optimistic and a bit naive. I greatly underestimated the complexity, both technically and practically. Yes...

Crypto doesn't need elaborate justifications.
Its true value is simple: provide everyone globally with the easiest, lowest friction opportunity to make money. Whether preserving wealth, accepting seamless payments, monetizing art, or simply speculating, crypto empowers anyone, anywhere, anytime.
Permissionless financialization is crypto's core innovation. It removes friction from the global flow of capital. No gatekeepers. No tedious processes. Just an open, transparent way to access and utilize money. This is revolutionary because it lets individuals worldwide participate directly, without intermediaries slowing down or extracting value.
Moreover, crypto levels the economic playing field. It offers equal opportunity, irrespective of geography, political climate, or existing infrastructure. Entrepreneurs in developing nations can now tap into international markets effortlessly. Artists can sell directly to patrons globally, receiving fair compensation instantly. Investors can allocate capital freely, efficiently, and transparently.
And as intelligence itself becomes increasingly autonomous, capital and compute will matter more than ever. Permissionless systems may not just serve people, but also agents and entities that require energy, bandwidth, and access at machine speed. Rails already exist. It is only a matter of time.
We shouldn't overcomplicate crypto's appeal. The strongest use case is economic empowerment, pure and simple. It's permissionless. It's global. It's instantaneous. And most importantly, it's practical. Crypto provides genuine economic utility, empowering individuals to build wealth and seize opportunities previously inaccessible.
