im a believer of exponentials too! good read
In Defense of Exponentials I used to tell founders, the reaction you are going to get to your launch is not hate, itโs indifference. By default, nobody cares about your new chain. I have to stop telling them that now. Monad just launched this week, and Iโve never seen so much

What if the way to truly create economically sovereign agents (embodied or not) is by creating an immutable, permanent, uncontrollable, onchain trust fund for agents Every ai agent, robot is a trust fund baby.
