Marc Andreessen isn’t calling this the next internet - he’s calling it the next microprocessor. “A new kind of computer,” he says. And his prediction? “All incumbents get nuked. Everything gets rebuilt.” This isn’t evolution. It’s a full-blown reset. 💥 @pmarca https://t.co/kdm3qLmYak

“AI will make everything so cheap, it’ll break the economy.” Marc Andreessen In this world, humans create meaning, AI executes tasks, and humanoids extend presence. But none of this works without orchestration. You need a chain that can handle logic, scale, and trust - without bottlenecks. That’s why we built PWR CHAIN.

El Salvador vs. the IMF: The country keeps buying Bitcoin despite a $1.4B deal restricting it.- Despite a $1.4B IMF deal restricting Bitcoin purchases, El Salvador keeps stacking sats, now holding 6,101 BTC (~$527M). Bukele dismisses critics: "Proof of work > proof of whining."- The agreement demands an end to Bitcoin buys, liquidation of the Fidebitcoin trust, and full financial transparency. Bukele? Completely ignoring it.- El Salvador is pivoting toward a high-tech future, meeting with a16z’s Marc Andreessen & Ben Horowitz to fuel AI investments.- To lure tech giants, the government introduced a 0% corporate tax for innovation-focused companies.- The world’s largest stablecoin issuer, Tether, relocated its HQ to El Salvador, cementing the nation’s crypto-friendly status.

The President of El Salvador meets with a16z co-founder to discuss the AI landscape in the DeepSeek environment.

🚀🇨🇳 DeepSeek's AI just burst into the top free apps on the US App Store, even surpassing ChatGPT! 🥳 According to TechCrunch, it’s getting some serious love—MARC ANDREESSEN called it one of the most mind-blowing breakthroughs he’s ever seen! 🤯 Meanwhile, The Information reports that Meta (you know, the one that's not allowed in Russia) is in a tizzy. They’ve set up teams to investigate DeepSeek’s AI—like what data they used and how they cut training costs. 😅[ Word is, they’re worried their new Llama ](https://t.co/e9X6upY04s)might not measure up to this Chinese contender! 🦙💥 #AI #TechNews

🔥DeepSeek Surpasses ChatGPT, Tops Free App Download Chart in the U.S. App Store #DeepSeek app has topped the free app download charts in both the China and U.S. App Stores, surpassing #ChatGPT in the U.S. download rankings. According to reports, DeepSeek released the open-source DeepSeek-R1 last week, claiming that the model's performance is on par with OpenAI's o1 official version, which has led to heated discussions in the overseas AI industry regarding this model. The focal point of the debate is how the capabilities of open-source models catching up with the latest closed-source models could potentially change the competitive landscape of large models. DeepSeek stated that DeepSeek-R1 scored closely to the o1 official version in tests such as Codeforces, GPQA Diamond, MATH-500, MMLU, and SWE-bench Verified, with some tests showing scores that even exceed those of the o1 official version. The model significantly enhanced its inference capabilities through large-scale reinforcement learning techniques during the post-training phase, despite having only a minimal amount of labeled data. AI industry insiders are already discussing the implications of open-source software. Yann Lecun, Chief AI Scientist at Meta, stated that the emergence of DeepSeek-R1 signifies not so much that Chinese companies are surpassing American companies in the AI field, but rather that open-source large models are surpassing closed-source ones. "DeepSeek will benefit from open research and open source, similar to Meta's PyTorch and Llama. They propose new ideas and build upon the work of others. Because their work is public and open source, everyone can benefit from it, which is the power of open research and open source," Lecun remarked. Marc Andreessen, founder of Silicon Valley venture capital firm A16Z, also commented that DeepSeek-R1 is one of the most stunning and impressive breakthroughs he has ever seen, and as an open-source model, its emergence brings a gift to the world.

: : The Most Important Infra of AI Agent Personalization: NillionArticle by @Steve_4P The blockchain industry is witnessing a significant convergence of AI and cryptocurrency, initiated by Marc Andreessen's Bitcoin donation to Terminal of Truth, which gained momentum through the success of the '$GOAT' memecoin and led to subsequent projects like ACT and ai16z.This 'AI x Crypto' trend has evolved beyond mere hype to create practical applications including decentralized AI infrastructure like TAO and GPU marketplaces, with projects like Nillion notably offering the capability to perform computations on encrypted data without decryption, potentially enabling AI agents to learn from and utilize extensive datasets while preserving sensitive information privacy.

AI agents were just going mainstream when AI Rollup co-hosts @trustlessstate and @cryptopunk7213 shared their top picks in the emerging field.Since then, some tokens soared to record highs, while others struggled or collapsed — let's dig in 👇~~~ Op-Ed by @jackinabinet ~~~📊 @virtuals_io | $VIRTUALVirtuals is a platform for launching tokenized AI agents on the Base network. By purchasing agent tokens, like LUNA and VADER, users on the Virtuals platform gain governance rights over specific agents, enabling them to influence their development and potentially share in resulting profits.What’s Changed?Protocol fee revenues dropped mid-December as users took a holiday break, but agent-associated token trading surged around the new year. Virtuals now collects over $1 million daily in fees but earns 50% less than early December.Since our last review, Virtuals' token value has more than doubled, boasting a $4.6B market cap. The VIRTUAL token price disregarded stagnating fundamentals and continued its sharp rise from late November.👨‍🦲 @ai16zdao | $AI16ZLaunched in October 2024, ai16z is an investment DAO run by @pmairca, an AI modeled after Marc Andreessen. It uses AI and crowd wisdom to buy tokens. Holders with enough AI16Z tokens can propose investment ideas to AI Marc, influencing his choices. The bot gauges the trustworthiness of these proposals through a "Virtual Marketplace of Trust."What’s Changed?The AI16Z token was absolutely sent during December and rallied over 500% in the closing month of 2024 to establish itself as a preeminent agentic token play.In a governance forum post, ai16z contributors consider creating their own agent token launchpad as a hub for innovation on the Eliza framework. They believe this could advance agent bot swarms and multichain integrations. AI Marc still lacks its promised trading feature, but ai16z FAQs state that onchain trading will be available "shortly" after the testnet, which is set to start "soon" for "a couple of weeks."⚔️ @Vader_AI_ | $VADERVaderAI is an AI bot developed to post and engage on social media autonomously. As an “agentic KOL,” it analyzes data to spot trends and audience sentiment. Claimed as the first to trade AI agent coins autonomously, VaderAI aims to lead as an investment DAO manager. By leveraging a network of specialist agents, it seeks to deliver top investment results, receiving a 20% carry on subDAO investments for its service.What’s Changed?VaderAI's first agent-managed investment DAO made a 50k VIRTUAL deposit within 30 seconds of its December 20 launch, sparking a VADER token rally from local lows. Though details on its machine learning use are scant, the team notes that their vaults receive preferential investment terms from other projects, and DAO members approve all decisions.---🔗 Catch up on how others have performed and why in the full article here: https://t.co/i1ToTlvEls

According to Marc Andreessen (@pmarca) money is the primary tool for constructing what we now call modern society. He highlighted the thesis of Hernando de Soto (@HDeSotoPeru) that one of the most transformative moments in modern history was the establishment of clear land titles. It wasn’t just about owning property—it was about creating the foundation of economic growth. With secure ownership, land became more than space; it became capital. People could borrow against it, innovate, and build. The economic world as we know it emerged from this principle. What does that mean for us today? Now blockchain is doing for digital ownership what clear titles did for land. It offers trust, immutable records, and real value. We’re witnessing the rise of a decentralized economy where assets can finally unlock new opportunities.

【Meme Coin Boom Returns: From Community Consensus to the Empowerment by Emerging Exchanges】On November 11, Binance announced the listing of two major Meme projects: **ACT** and **PNUT**. This news immediately ignited market enthusiasm, with ACT’s token price skyrocketing nearly tenfold within hours. This surge not only highlighted the powerful capital-attracting effect of Meme coins but also introduced a new wave of excitement around the integration of "AI and Meme" in the industry.This event signals that exchanges are accelerating their entry into the Meme coin space. Previously, Meme coins were often seen as speculative assets, driven by high volatility and community dynamics. However, as projects with high potential, such as ACT, emerge, major exchanges are beginning to reassess their value. This shift is evident not just in explosive price movements but also in the significant uptick in trading volumes and user activity.💪The Rise of Meme Coins Since 2022Meme coins have steadily gained influence in the crypto market. According to Binance Research, the total market cap of Meme coins has surged from 4% two years ago to 11% in 2024. Bybit reported that institutional holdings of Meme coins rose from $62.5 million at the start of 2024 to nearly $300 million by mid-year—a staggering 500% increase. This growth trajectory marks their evolution from "fringe players" to key indicators in the crypto space.This article explores six driving forces behind the resurgence of Meme coins and projects their future trajectory:6️⃣Six Key Drivers of Meme Coin Popularity1. Catalysis and Evolution of Internet CultureMeme coins thrive on internet culture, embodying viral memes and social media trends. For instance, **DOGE** capitalized on the viral "Doge" meme, while **PEPE** leveraged the popularity of the "Sad Frog" meme to attract a massive following. The symbolic nature of Meme coins simplifies user engagement, enabling them to spread virally across demographic barriers.2. Macroeconomic Factors and Liquidity SurplusesThe global post-pandemic economic environment, characterized by loose monetary policies, has driven investors toward high-risk, high-reward assets like Meme coins. Additionally, in an inflationary setting, Meme coins have become an alternative investment to hedge against rising prices.3. Community Power and Decentralized ConsensusMeme coins like **SHIB** and **FLOKI** demonstrate the strength of decentralized communities. These projects emphasize grassroots governance and community-driven growth, fostering a sense of belonging and shared purpose.4. Celebrity Influence and Social HotspotsEndorsements from figures like **Elon Musk** have repeatedly spurred massive price movements in coins like **DOGE**. Similarly, new Meme coins like **GOAT** have gained attention due to high-profile endorsements, including a notable on-chain tipping event by **Marc Andreessen**.5. Expansion into Diverse Use CasesInitially devoid of functional utility, Meme coins now explore broader ecosystems. **SHIB**, for instance, has ventured into the metaverse with “Shib: The Metaverse,” offering token holders virtual assets and social interactions.6. Support from Emerging ExchangesNewer trading platforms play a vital role in promoting Meme coins, offering incentives such as trading rewards and airdrops. By supporting hot Meme tokens, exchanges can rapidly boost their liquidity and user base, creating a symbiotic growth cycle.Notable Meme Coin Projects of 2024Several Meme coins have made remarkable strides this year:**DOGE**: Continues to dominate, bolstered by Elon Musk’s endorsements.**SHIB**: Gaining traction through metaverse initiatives.**PEPE**: A community favorite with exponential gains.**GOAT**: Combines AI and Meme narratives, driving unique ecosystem development.**FLOKI**: Focuses on charity and utility within its decentralized ecosystem.**BONK**: Anchored in Solana, leveraging NFT integration.**KISHU**: Maintains popularity through frequent airdrops and incentives.**ACT**: Merges AI technology with Meme culture, promising innovative interactions on the Solana blockchain.The Role of Emerging Exchanges in the Meme EcosystemEmerging exchanges have emerged as pivotal enablers of the Meme coin boom. By quickly listing trending Meme tokens, these platforms not only attract massive user traffic but also amplify trading activity. Additionally, their involvement often extends to marketing and ecosystem support, further boosting project visibility.Future Outlook: Meme Coins and Cross-Sector IntegrationMeme coins represent a unique blend of internet culture, financial innovation, and community dynamics. With advancements in AI, NFTs, and the metaverse, Meme coins are poised to evolve beyond their viral beginnings into multifaceted digital assets. Their continued growth could reshape the landscape of crypto investments, offering both opportunities and challenges for the industry.
