OH (TradFi person who lost money in multiple hacks):

Crypto in 2021 was the 'Future of Work' but in 2025 it is the 'Future of Unemployment'

OH: "People will only verify cryptographic proofs via failed tool calls"

I've been meh on RWA perps beyond indices + commodities (which make sense given existing demand)

BUT

My switching between Nebius, Lambda, Prime Intellect, etc. to minimize my GPU cost has made me really want a price per token or energy per token perp to lower cost volatility

Main economic lesson AI learns from crypto is there is only one equilibrium
- Birkin Bag (high decentralization, moneyness, etc.)
- Cost effective (lowest fees, MEV, etc.)

OpenAI + Google: Birkin Bags
DeepSeek + Qwen: cost effective

Everyone else is a bad expensive Android

OH (Cryptographer): "There will be a unabomber for reasoning models before there is one for ZK, an ironic fact given history"

Crypto people need to learn from the devex of @vllm_project & @DeepSpeedAI; I have rarely used OSS that can go from 0 to 1 as easily for distributed HPC stuff

Half of the HPC C++ stuff I did in 2016 is 5 lines of Python now 🤯

AI has taken my old job (but created new ones ig)
