Summarized some interesting points from this episode of the Alliance podcast:
AI is driving a surge of micro-applications; traditional education and K12 education may become optional; entry-level job roles are no longer needed; true domain experts cannot be replaced; the crypto innovation is lackluster, with everyone focused on trading and stablecoins, reinventing the wheel.
More:
1. A big opportunity lies in consumer-facing micro-applications. Using tools like Cursor, anyone can build a highly personalized application. You can solve a niche problem and achieve profitability immediately—especially with a global user base.
2. For this generation, traditional education is starting to feel optional. You don’t need that job at Google—true status comes when Google has to acquire your company. Real status comes from things that cannot be faked: building products used by millions, taking a company public, or saving lives.
3. Children at Alpha School in Texas, USA, learn with AI tutors, spending only two hours a day on academics, and rank in the top 2% in national tests. It is believed that within 5 to 10 years, AI will completely disrupt K-12 education. Children no longer need to endure eight hours of lectures; they can learn the same content in a shorter time—AI tutors personalize teaching according to their pace and interests.
Alpha School goes further: 8-year-olds launch startups, 10-year-olds give TED-style talks, and 12-year-olds study Harvard Business School cases. This is real applied learning—not just tedious work.
4. Entry-level roles are the most vulnerable. We no longer need venture capital analysts and junior lawyers. Most of their work can already be handled by AI. True domain experts—still cannot be replaced by AI. They have unique insights, edge cases, and experience-based intuition, which AI lacks.
5. Currently, in the cryptocurrency space, whether builders or investors—even on cryptocurrency Twitter, there are almost no narratives: stablecoins (tokenization, traditional assets on-chain). There are a bunch of companies trying to do exactly the same thing. It seems there’s nothing truly new; they are just reinventing the wheel. Everyone is targeting the same verticals—trading and stablecoins.
