Bryan Pellegrino on Building the Crypto Rails for AI Agents

The People's AI

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. **Agent Volume Tsunami:** AI agents will perform vastly more blockchain operations (especially payments) than humans very soon, demanding scalable infrastructure.
  2. **Crypto is the Payment Layer:** Forget decentralized compute (for now); crypto's killer app for AI is providing seamless, low-cost global payment rails.
  3. **Build Generalizable Rails:** Success requires building adaptable, fundamental infrastructure (like Layer Zero aims to be) rather than solving fleeting, specific problems in this fast-changing landscape.

Is Bitcoin A Safe Haven?

1000x Podcast

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. **Watch IBIT/SPY:** A breakout above 0.1 in the IBIT/SPY ratio could signal Bitcoin decoupling and trigger major capital inflows.
  2. **Bitcoin > Gold (Long Term):** Bitcoin offers a superior potential upside (5-10x) compared to gold (2x) over the next decade, though its path will be far more volatile.
  3. **Diversify with Gold:** Adding gold can stabilize a portfolio (higher Sharpe), enabling investors to potentially hold larger, more volatile Bitcoin positions for long-term gains.

Will We Bottom Soon?

1000x Podcast

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. Trade the Edges, Hold the Cash: In this high-volatility chop-fest, avoid the middle ground. Take profits (20-50%) and keep powder dry for inevitable dislocations and extreme lows.
  2. Bet on Real Yield & Value Accrual: Prioritize projects like Hyperliquid that generate revenue and return value to tokens. Consider pair trades (long RWA/short ETH) to bet on promising sectors without full market exposure.
  3. Macro Shift Fuels Long-Term Bull: Geopolitical realignment (US/China, multipolarity) creates short-term chaos but potentially fuels a decade-long run for alternative reserve assets like Gold and especially Bitcoin. Brace for volatility, but position for the long game.
