All Eyes on AI. Where Does Crypto Fit? | EP 77
Imran Khan calls the violent rebound “the first inning of a new cycle,” citing OG selling, failed dip-buying expectations and sidelined capital.Tokenized stocks revive onchain speculation through global access and underlying substance, while Robinhood’s retail interface outperforms Coinbase’s institutional-trust franchise.Computer-use agents expand software’s addressable market, pressuring new SaaS startups to build physical, networked or proprietary advantages.
Cloudflare CEO: The Man Deciding The Internet’s Next Business Model
Automated traffic has already surpassed human traffic, and Prince says agentic traffic could reach 1,000 times human traffic in five years, challenging ad-funded models.Cloudflare is pursuing a micropayments rail targeting roughly 10 million transactions per second, but regulation, capacity and preserving free access remain unresolved.
168X 战情室:对话 Herman Jin,AI 空头可以闭嘴了!
Herman Jin从六月“应该是第一批看空”转向相对看多;Anthropic抛出高额ARR后,去杠杆、强平、波动率和CDX均未显著扩散。开源模型可让CSP通过post-training或蒸馏变现并支撑CapEx,但存储高毛利依赖涨价,现金流转折、估值与AI终局仍需监测。
168X 战情室:对话 Rick,AI 与 Crypto 正同时进入新阶段?
Moderna的抗黑色素瘤疫苗和码农为狗研发抗癌疫苗,支撑Rick“没有泡沫”的判断。AI数据中心需求与NAND涨价50%强化宏观影响;Crypto由传统资产上链和agent economy驱动,但Bitcoin催化剂、Anthropic估值及机器人规模化仍待验证。
“Checkout Pages Should Not Exist" - Stripe on Agentic Commerce
Stripe’s first-half signups grew 50% YoY, while the median 2026 cohort generates 50% more revenue than 2025’s and its new SaaS-platform cohort is 103% larger.Stripe Minions produce 7,000 weekly one-shot PRs, KAI lifted seller productivity 20%, and Machine Payments Protocol, Link Agent Wallet, and Tempo offer potential catalysts as agentic commerce adoption and execution remain unproven.
「热爱一个行业15年的理由是什么?」|对谈汪天凡:我要投真正的快乐、投最纯的愿景、投人性的光辉【公路播客】
汪天凡认为,AI应用的稀缺性将从通用智能转向叠加个人context的“智慧”,硬件可能成为承载记忆、反馈与行为的context machine。BAI已布局Looki等四五家公司,但交互层能否注入人性、形成竞争力仍待验证;同时AI基础设施估值与大厂AI CapEx变化,可能在今年年底到明年年初带来资金面风险。
OpenAI is Making a MASSIVE Mistake
Ambient is positioning itself as an asset-light “Uber for inference,” using 100% logits verification to aggregate stranded GPU supply and guarantee delivery quality.With inference margins of 40-50% versus roughly 10% for rental operators, its routing and token incentives could capture a structural uplift, while falling token prices and a possible two-year AI winter remain the key test.
How To Keep Your Crypto Safe from North Korea's 2,500 Hackers
Human compromise, not smart-contract failure, drives 99% of stolen crypto funds, with nine in ten OpSec incidents starting on compromised laptops.AI-generated code may be safer within one to two years, but attackers need only one vulnerability.EDRs costing roughly $150 annually could stop nine out of 10 incidents, while Bybit’s $1.5B loss keeps security central to adoption.
Are Crypto Tokens Fundamentally Broken?
Token-equity structures need explicit rights: Venice’s $1B raise showed ambiguity can make holders price trust in Erik rather than guaranteed value accrual, potentially creating a 10× premium; ACE-style KYC conversion offers a contractual alternative.Grass’s $70M 2026 revenue against roughly $30M of operating costs supports its network thesis, while Zcash’s Ironwood launch will test whether roughly 4M ZEC leaves Orchard slowly—or signals an exploiter is moving funds.
Fable Ban Reversed + Dr. Dana Suskind on Parenting With A.I. + Prediction Market Drama
Kevin RooseCasey NewtonDr. Dana Suskind
Washington’s reversal of Anthropic’s Fable 5 restrictions and reported limits on GPT 5.6 shift frontier AI from default release to politically granted access, creating availability risk for businesses built on critical model APIs.Chinese open models may gain from being downloadable and controllable, while parents face a parallel product-screening challenge: Suskind’s DETECT framework favors AI that enhances human connection and rejects companions until safety is established.
