⚡️ Context graphs: AI’s trillion-dollar opportunity — Jaya Gupta, Ashu Garg, Foundation Capital

Latent Space

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. The move from general-purpose LLMs to specialized AI agents demands a new data architecture that captures the *why* of decisions, not just the *what*. This creates a new, defensible layer of institutional memory, moving value from raw model IP to proprietary decision intelligence.
  2. Invest in or build agentic systems that are in the *orchestration path* of specific business processes. This allows for the organic capture of decision traces, forming a proprietary context graph that incumbents cannot easily replicate.
  3. Over the next 12 months, the ability to build and extract value from context graphs will define the winners in the enterprise AI space, creating a new "context graph stack" that will be 10x more valuable than the modern data stack.

In Defense of Exponentials – Haseeb Reads His Viral Essay – The Chopping Block

Unchained

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. **Stop Applying Linear Valuations to Exponential Tech.** Judging Ethereum on its P/E ratio is like criticizing Amazon in 1999 for its lack of profits. It’s a category error. Value chains based on their probability of capturing a piece of a future trillion-dollar system.
  2. **The Prize Is Worth Winning.** The entire investment case for new L1s hinges on the belief that incumbents like Ethereum and Solana are immensely valuable. If they are, then a small probability of becoming the next one justifies a multi-billion dollar valuation today.
  3. **Zoom Out and Believe.** The current market is trapped in short-term cynicism. The real alpha comes from adopting a Silicon Valley mindset over a Wall Street one, recognizing that you are living through a technological revolution on par with the early internet.

Can ‘Choose Rich’ Nick Create the Barstool Sports of Crypto?

Unchained

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. Weaponize cringe for distribution. The ‘Choose Rich Nick’ model proves that being the butt of the joke is a powerful growth hack. Manufacturing moments that invite mockery creates a viral loop of outrage and engagement that funnels attention to the core business.
  2. Authenticity is a liability. The most successful stunts are meticulously planned fabrications. From fake girlfriends to staged yacht expulsions, the goal isn't to be real but to create a compelling narrative that the internet can’t ignore.
  3. Success hinges on ambiguity. The content is designed to polarize. Its virality depends on a split audience: one half gets the joke and celebrates the performance, while the other half takes it at face value, fueling the outrage machine that drives impressions.

Anthony Sassano on Why This Cycle Isn’t Playing Out Like the Last Ones

Bankless

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. The Old Playbooks Are Obsolete. This isn't your 2021 bull run. The four-year cycle is broken, institutional flows have altered market dynamics, and historical patterns are no longer reliable predictors of future performance.
  2. Ethereum Is Entering Hyper-Scale. A relentless upgrade cadence is simultaneously scaling both L1 (via gas limit increases) and L2s (via blob scaling), even before the ZK revolution delivers another 100x+ throughput boost to the mainnet.
  3. Adaptability Is the Ultimate Security. Existential threats like quantum computing are moving from science fiction to near-term reality. Ethereum's culture of continuous improvement is its greatest defense, while chains resistant to change face a brewing crisis.

Closed my ETH Short ($578k Profit). What’s Next for Crypto?

Taiki Maeda

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. **ETH is Overvalued and Avoidable.** Its fundamentals do not justify its sky-high valuation. View it as a flawed asset, not a mandatory portfolio holding for crypto investors.
  2. **Farm, Don't Trade.** The most reliable retail edge isn't trading, but airdrop farming. It allows you to acquire assets from overvalued launches without providing exit liquidity.
  3. **Cash is a Position.** In a market defined by negative reflexivity and dwindling liquidity, the winning strategy is capital preservation. Avoid the casino, raise cash, and wait for the market to present clear, undervalued opportunities.

How to Trade Crypto Cycles with Raoul Pal

Empire

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. Stop Obsessing Over the Halving. The four-year cycle is a narrative, not a driver. The real signal is the macro business cycle, driven by debt refinancing and central bank liquidity. Track the ISM index: historically, buying below 50 and selling above 57 has been a winning strategy.
  2. Invest in Networks, Not Spreadsheets. Value crypto protocols based on network effects (active users and transaction value), not discounted cash flows. The long-term bet is on the growth of the network itself, as this is where wealth has compounded most dramatically.
  3. Survive to Compound. Structure your portfolio to withstand volatility. Have external cash flow so you’re never a forced seller, and take "lifestyle chips" off the table during rallies to manage psychological stress. Drawdowns are a feature, not a bug—use them to add to your long-term positions.
