We cover: Why AI agents, not humans, become the actual customer crypto was built for The infrastructure that has to exist before agents can transact at machine speed Why every consumer app breaks when agents replace browsing (the Tinder example) How meme coins pulled focus from the builders who actually mattered Why tokens become the commodity layer for compute, energy, and attention The orchestration layer thesis, where real development is happening now Why the metaverse isn't dead, it's just coming to us through agents What retail should actually be holding right now Thanks to Yat for coming on New Era Finance Podcast.

"AI agents will hold more crypto than humans within a decade." Charles Hoskinson (Charles Hoskinson) studied math, dropped out, built one of the only blockchains designed by peer-reviewed research. He co-founded Ethereum, walked away over how it was run, and built Cardano to do it differently. The man who has argued with everyone in this industry now thinks the biggest user of crypto won't be people at all. "Humans are a rounding error in the system we're building. AI agents don't sleep, don't panic-sell, and don't care about price. They transact in tokens because that's the only thing they can actually use." We cover: - Why AI agents (not humans) become the dominant on-chain actors, and what that does to every token model - The infrastructure that has to exist before agents can transact safely at scale - Why most current blockchains can't handle machine-speed transactions - Where Cardano's research-first approach fits in a world of autonomous agents - The identity problem: how do you tell a human from an agent on-chain, and why it matters - Why he's bullish on the technology but blunt about the timeline - What he thinks the rest of the industry is getting wrong about AI + crypto - The one thing that has to happen for any of this to be real Thanks to Charles for coming on New Era Finance Podcast.

DROPS E27: Ben from Talus Labs: Building the Future of Decentralized AI Agents In this episode Ben breaks down why AI isn’t a bubble, how Talus is redefining on-chain agents, and why optimism is something you earn and not something you just feel. We talk about: - Why AI is not a bubble and how mega-cap tech is funding the next AI wave through massive CapEx - How Talus enables decentralized AI agents that can act and transact trustlessly - The three big crypto × AI intersections: compute, data ownership, and intelligent on-chain workflows - Why AI needs verifiable, censorship-resistant execution layers and why blockchains provide that - Nuclear energy as a prerequisite for AGI-scale compute demand - Why SWE’s object model + parallelization is perfect for autonomous agent payments and priority fees And much more!
