Hash Rate - Ep 109 - Templar $TAO sn3 - Decentralized AI Training

Hash Rate pod - Bitcoin, AI, DePIN, DeFi

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. R&D Over Premature Revenue: For ambitious projects like decentralized AI training, protocol-funded R&D (via emissions) is vital; chasing early SaaS revenue can be a fatal distraction from building truly groundbreaking tech.
  2. Decentralization as Defense: Templar’s strategy to build permissionless, world-class AI models using a distributed network of high-performance compute (H100s) directly challenges the centralized control of AI giants, aiming to be the "Linux for AI."
  3. DTO Mandates Fiscal Grit: The DTO framework forces subnet teams into lean operations, demanding transparency with their token-holding communities and a relentless focus on delivering substantial, long-term value.

What Is an AI Agent?

a16z

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. Define by Function, Not Hype: The term "agent" is ambiguous; focus on specific functionalities like LLMs in loops, tool use, and planning capabilities rather than the label itself.
  2. Augmentation Over Replacement: Current AI, including "agents," primarily enhances human productivity and potentially slows hiring growth, rather than directly replacing most human roles which involve creativity and complex decision-making.
  3. Towards "Normal Technology": The ultimate goal is for AI capabilities to become seamlessly integrated, like electricity or the internet, moving beyond the "agent" buzzword towards powerful, normalized tools.

The Altseason Rotation Has Begun! Here's The Data Behind the Next Rotation

Bankless

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. Rotation Imminent: Data suggests Bitcoin's strength is setting the stage for capital to flow into altcoins, particularly Ether, which is seen as "hated" and due for a rebound against Bitcoin.
  2. Macro is Bullish (For Now): Continued fiscal spending and an anticipated stablecoin bill are significant tailwinds, though summer may bring some turbulence.
  3. Strategic Allocation is Key: Focus on assets with strong fundamentals or high attention. Consider beta plays like "blue-chip" meme coins (Pepe for ETH, Bonk for SOL) for higher-risk, higher-reward exposure, but plan exits for speculative positions.

Why Analysts Are Valuing ETH All Wrong

Bankless

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. **L1s are Money, Not Stocks:** Stop trying to fit square pegs (L1s) into round holes (DCF models for companies). Their value accrues like money, through network effects and demand for their monetary properties.
  2. **RSOV is Your New Lens:** Use RSOV to gauge the "stickiness" of capital in an L1 ecosystem. A growing RSOV suggests a strengthening monetary base and potentially a rising valuation floor.
  3. **ETH's RSOV Story:** ETH, when viewed through the RSOV lens, appears undervalued relative to assets like Bitcoin, especially considering catalysts like EIP-4844 ("proto-danksharding") and the growth of its L2 ecosystem, which drives ETH's use as a store of value.
