Hash Rate - Ep 118 - Siam Kidd of DSV $TAO Hedge Fund

Hash Rate pod - Bitcoin, AI, DePIN, DeFi

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. TAO's Asymmetric Upside: Bitensor is presented as a once-in-a-generation investment, with institutional demand poised to significantly reprice TAO.
  2. Subnets are AI Startups: View subnets as individual AI startups; their success will drive TAO's value, but their tokenomics mean TAO itself is the primary value accrual mechanism for large price moves.
  3. Liquidity is King (for Subnets): The growth of subnet valuations and broader participation hinges on solving liquidity depth issues within subnet pools.

Oxford Professor: "AIs are strange new minds"

Machine Learning Street Talk

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. AI's Reality Hack: Supervised learning allows AIs to understand the world via language alone, a game-changer forcing us to rethink intelligence beyond sensory input.
  2. The Autonomy Trap: The rise of agentic, personalized AIs that act for us threatens unforeseen systemic chaos and could amplify individuals' most dangerous beliefs.
  3. Our Faustian Pact with AI: We're trading authenticity and control for AI-driven convenience, risking a "gradual disempowerment" where human agency is systematically diminished.

Harry Dewhirst: What If the Physical World Had an API? — 375ai, DePIN, and Real-Time Data for AI

Delphi Digital

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. 375AI’s targeted deployment in high-value zones yields monetizable data from the outset, sidestepping the "build it and they will come" pitfall common in DePIN.
  2. For real-world sensor networks, processing data locally on devices is paramount for user privacy, regulatory compliance, and operational efficiency.
  3. AI models, especially LLMs, are hungry for real-time, high-fidelity data about the physical environment, creating a massive opportunity for networks like 375AI.

Empire Cross-Post: The Bull Case For Ethereum | Tom Dunleavy & Ryan Berckmans

Bell Curve

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. L1 is HQ: Ethereum's "pivot" reasserts the L1's central role, supported by L2s that offer crucial business model diversity and customization for the world coming on-chain.
  2. Value Accrual via Security & Confidence: ETH's valuation is increasingly tied to the total economic value it secures and the market's confidence in its future, not just direct fee revenue.
  3. Business Development is Crucial: To compete and grow, Ethereum requires a significantly more robust and proactive go-to-market strategy to attract users, institutions, and developers.

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.
