TOKEN2049

Arthur Hayes put a simple question to the OKX Main Stage at TOKEN2049 Singapore: what do AI agents eat? His argument: - Humans accept fiat because it converts directly into food and shelter - Agents run on compute, but none of today’s currencies (AI tokens, fiat, stablecoins, Bitcoin) converts directly into it - “Agents don’t have a currency yet” - Whoever builds that network, he believes, “will most likely be the most valuable network ever created” Watch the full keynote: https://lnkd.in/gaP4VY9b

Tom Lee, Chairman of MAVAN, Bitmine (NYSE: BMNR) and CIO of Fundstrat Capital, told the OKX Main Stage at TOKEN2049 Singapore that this cycle is different, and set out why: - Tokenization: “BlackRock, asset managers beyond BlackRock, want to tokenize everything on blockchains.” - The wealth transfer from baby boomers to millennials, moving allocation from bonds into equities and crypto - Digital asset treasuries taking supply off the market - AI agents: “Most likely they’re going to carry a crypto wallet.” His conclusion: “You’re not bullish enough.” Watch the full keynote: https://lnkd.in/gJ8uQmnA
