The Next Big Trade Is Hiding In Plain Sight | Citrini

Forward Guidance

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. Fiscal Focus: Anticipate a narrative shift from trade wars to tax cuts and deregulation, with significant government spending directed towards defense and areas where the U.S. lags China.
  2. Robotics Rising: The robotics sector offers a compelling investment case, buying secular growth at cyclical lows, especially as the automotive cycle bottoms and AI seeks real-world applications.
  3. Strategic Positioning: Consider a "barbell" approach in robotics: US companies for AI software and "brains," while acknowledging China's lead in cost-effective hardware, potentially through imports if tariffs allow.

Crypto + AI Is Exploding — But What’s Real vs Hype? Top VCs Spill All.

The People's AI

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. Prioritize Problem-Solving: Crypto must offer tangible solutions to AI's limitations (e.g., bootstrapping costs, agent payments, data sourcing) rather than being a superficial addition.
  2. Demand Agent Utility: AI agents need a clear purpose for tokenization; speculative hype won't cut it. Verifiable, composable agent systems for complex tasks are the goal.
  3. Bet on Data & Modularity: Decentralized, high-quality data aggregation (e.g., Vanna) and modular, interoperable AI systems represent the most promising paths to disruptive innovation.

Why AI Must Stay Neutral: Infrastructure vs. Revenue Curve

The Rollup

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. Neutrality is Non-Negotiable: Foundational AI must be credibly neutral and non-exclusive, acting as open infrastructure for everyone.
  2. Shun the Revenue Siren: Embedding profit motives into core AI infrastructure risks a Faustian bargain, leading down Vitalik's "revenue evil curve" and compromising openness, as seen with Stable Diffusion's licensing shift.
  3. Open Base, Specialized Bloom: A transparent, neutral AI foundation is the launchpad for a global explosion of compact, specialized AI applications that can address diverse, critical needs.

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.
