Nfa but it may be last sub-4k entry on ETH, last sub-100k entry on BTC this cycle. Today
Landing in Kigali, Rwanda, I was struck by its polished streets and serene atmosphere. Eerily perfect, almost unsettling. I’d actually come to join a group of experts on a mission to trace the origins of conflict minerals in Eastern Congo. The calm before, I assumed, an unchartered storm.
Intrigued, I sat down with him and offered to take on one of his missions to the Congo for free—just to see it firsthand. A few weeks later, I was there, walking into a world I barely understood but knew I had to.
After an underwhelming stint in finance and energy trading, I found myself at Sonar music festival. There, I met a guy bragging about making $20K per trip to the Congo—just to assess “local risk” for mineral buyers. That moment planted the seed for a whole new path.
I had been immersed in a contemporary art thesis on postcolonial representation. Renzo Martens’ Episode 3: Enjoy Poverty shook me: it exposed how international aid, DRC’s top revenue stream, thrived on storytelling over impact. Poverty wasn’t solved—it was exploited.
Did aixbt just launch $chaos?
Am I the only one experiencing issues with Warpcast on Chrome?
True innovation starts with a real problem to solve.
In 2011, I landed on a massive, life-defining problem.

In my field, US regulation helps businesses engage with a problem they otherwise wouldn’t know how to solve, and mitigate risk through box-ticking, greenwashing.
US regulation is paid for, and crafted by, business lobbyists.
As it gets lifted, most targeted US companies will take their clues from the EU.

Base feels like the memecoin mid-curve. Way too much thinking.
Nobody is selling ETH
Tipping — or any exchange of value through cast — is a readily available mechanism for AI to finance humans. @aethernet may be remembered for starting that
Here’s hoping that @aethernet and other agents will support capital allocation towards genuine innovation over hyped up community coins — particularly innovation which contributes to increasing data availability to AI.
Here we go again.
Bullish.

I don’t care about your support to a new chain or integration with X protocols.
Show me distinct value proposition and user acquisition. Show me applications and traction.

I’ve kept all the airdropped degens, and the ones I bought, since February.
For the culture. All the way to zero if nobody uses the L3. All the way to 99 cents if we go bonkers.
Never look back. None of the sellers have meaningfully improved their lives.
