I’ve seen a couple write-ups on the potential value of the @_kaitoai airdrop but I haven’t seen anything on why this is one of the few novel, game changing products

Imagine if you had the smartest, most objective folks (more detail in next tweet) in the world that had the ability to consume every tweet related to crypto. They then filtered out all the shitposts, toxicity, and then ranked each tweet based on originality, relevance and impact.

Then you (or in this case the Kaito team) could ask them any series of questions and they would answer them in a quantitative, detailed fashion. This is effectively what Kaito is today.

But what's to come is why I think it will be game-changing, and I think with the new Trump admin what they are trying to build will be entirely possible.

It’s been a while since I’ve been so bullish on a product. I think if you log onto cryptotwitter everyday this is worth digging further into How can I say that Kaito has the smartest, most objective folks?

They don’t have ppl manually working for them. They have an in-house, proprietary algorithm that effectively reads through every tweet.

I was surprised to hear that they owned their model rather than outsourcing it or using a generic, open source LLM. I dug into this a bit more and noticed that they have a text embedding (text embedding is a fancy way of saying tagging a tweet with the relevant topics e.g. this tweet would get a kaito tag) model on a bittensor subnet -- checkout @openkaito. When they ran a comparison against openAI’s baseline model, they outscored it (image below)

This is definitely step up in caliber relative to the bulk of “AI” related products in crypto today.

Additionally, the more tweets the model consumes, the better it gets – this is how models work, and since the model is reading through all the tweets, the improvement is happening as we speak.

And its evident that other people and protocols are interested in utilizing this.

@eigenlayer did their surprise creator airdrop in collaboration with Kaito -- they used Kaito's dataset and scoring system to enable this. @Punk9277 (kaito's founder) also mentions that there are tons of protocols lining up with interest.

the funniest outcome here is if this trump induced solana pump ends up blowing out the march unlock hedgers funding is still *very* reasonable, and even negative at certain exchanges

also from the above, its clear we had a huge tick up in aggro spot buying (look at CVD and spot volumes)

Had the thesis a while ago that airdrops would target "strong" communities (pengus, punks, etc)

Guess Kaito filled that gap by taking a more quantitative approach

Similar to how fb/goog could do targeted advertising, Kaito is building the crypto equivalent

Cool to see

we had a number of airdrops in the past year - the meta quickly evolved into one where it was hard to discern organic community vs. sybils / farmers

ultimately this is an identity problem (anyone can spin up hundreds of wallets)

Asking about the business use case for blockchains (L1s) is backwards looking.

This is the equivalent of asking what is the use case of <insert fav chat app> when messenger, whatsapp, imessage, etc. all exist. Is there really a difference between these chat apps? Sure, there are nuances around security, UI preferences, and whether the backend architecture is optimizing for consistency vs. availability but at the EOD, for 99.99% of users, there isn’t a difference. The same thing can be said about L1s themselves

So what’s with the underperformance of crypto equities? 🧵 1/ Hopefully this will illustrate the general dynamics on how the options market effects the underlying stock price

Some reminders (to self) as things start to get parabolic 1) If you are in “everything” you aren’t going to outperform. You don’t need to catch every coin. FOMO is the mind killer

Some more thoughts on AI agents, crypto, and GNON 1/ these agents are built via a process called reinforcement learning - the agent will perform a sequence of actions and will either be rewarded/punished based off the outcome of those actions

as the AI engineer/researcher, you can program the set of outcomes that get rewarded

What are the best tweets / posts to understand GNON?

This coin went from 25M to 110M in the last 10 hours, ridiculous

"Gnon relates to AI through its philosophical underpinnings in Dark Enlightenment thought, focusing on inevitability, control, and the evolution of intelligence. Gnon, representing unavoidable natural law or reality, aligns with key concerns in AI about the relationship between intelligence and goals. These concepts engage with ideas on whether AI systems can be designed to maintain specific objectives or whether they will evolve beyond human-imposed constraints."

time is a flat circle, uptober 2023 version 1/

tbh this is prob why bull markets are so hard

euphoria into months of chop, sprinkle in a series of aggro liq cascades and you've given the majority of active market participants some form of ptsd

https://twitter.com/0xjaypeg/status/1833920291178950875

even as we transition into a trending market, the process of making a lower high triggers the possibility of liq cascades

what aggravates this is the fact that prices typically bottom before sentiment -- and there are always a million reasons why prices can go lower

here is why i'm so bullish 🧵

1/

for every 10% increase in global liq, btc goes up 5x (last 18 months) and 12x over its lifetime

go look at the spreadsheet above and tell me how much global liq has increased over the last 3 months

I'm pretty bulled up man

https://twitter.com/0xjaypeg/status/1829485337007075813

China is going to add another few % to this increase

The US has basically stated they are going to ease (50bps cut, fed put, TGA needs to be drained pre debt ceiling, shorter duration debt issuance)

DXY falling off a cliff, so foreign dollar denominated debt devalued

these are the alts i like WQUIL

so many calls to “lock tf in!”

???

just don’t sell too early / over manage your positions

im gonna go touch grass also funniest scenario is god candle to 70k, everyone longs the breakout and then we nuke to 60k before the real fun begins

😀

some thoughts on token / breakpoint (market focused) the biggest takeaway for me is to figure out a better tax situation

for the homies living in the US (outside of Puerto Rico) this is prob the lowest hanging fruit to becoming much more profitable

ansem and wif

burniske and tia markets suffer from short term memory but as a reminder, wif also did -85% before making its parabolic run

and yes, there is going to be ~176M tia tokens unlocked in 6 weeks

not financial advice, please dyor

ngl feels disgusting to DCA everyday into this market i actually puked buying this

It’s been a while since we’ve seen some massive green candles (that aren’t immediately followed by red ones)

We had extremely high expectations with BTC getting ahead of itself and breaking through ATHs back in March. Since then, we’ve had a ton of supply dumped on us leading to mass liquidation events on monthly basis over the last 6 months

Everyone quotes Sept seasonality, recession fears, and Kamala winning as reasons to be bearish here. These are certainly factors that work against risk asset prices going up

In retrospect, 99% of us would’ve been much better off just taking the summer off. Even if you made $, the effort-reward ratio prob wasn’t nearly as worth it relative to what we had from Nov - March

I can’t say for certain what price will do from here, but here are the relevant factors in my mind

Bullish
- Global liquidity (supply of $) increasing substantially over the last two months
- Rate cuts (price of $) set to decrease, starting Sept
- Lots of regulatory progress over the 3-6 months (eth etf, ripple)
- Capital sidelined off risk assets post carry trade unwind (this may be bearish, what do they know?)

Bearish
- SPY up 18% YTD (avg election year is 11.28%) - have we gotten ahead of our skis and do we underperform here on out?
- Recession fears – a lot of the economic data is *not* forward looking (Sahm rule triggered, unemployment altered, etc)
- Sept seasonality and volatility into the election (if everyone prefers to remain cautious/hedged, who is the marginal buyer?)

And tbh, this is a spot where I’m constantly being challenged. Among the smart folks I follow, the views are super split and it is hard to gather and maintain conviction… the data feels very in the middle. This would explain the chop that we’ve had

The one thing I do know is that a few green candles (no retraces) would really change the vibes

Did I miss anything? Disagree with my view? Let’s debate all the data comes from @crossbordercap (great source imo)

https://twitter.com/0xjaypeg/status/1829477164443468134

Past few months have made it evidently clear why bull markets are so difficult

I’m luckily in a position where my portfolio size has jumped significantly since the lows in Jan 2023

However, as size has increased, it’s been significantly harder to stay “comfy in spot”. Days like yesterday are definitely periods where your conviction is tested

I still strongly believe we haven’t topped for this cycle

- Spot ETH etf hasn’t launched yet. Fink has yet to say much about ETH directly
- Trump has positioned himself as extremely pro “number go up” candidate, and even further leaning into being pro crypto
- We have made significantly regulatory progress over the last month (ETH etf approval, USDC getting EU license under MiCA, Coinbase suing SEC, Chevron case)
- Rate cuts looking more probable as unemployment inches higher, inflation flat/lower, and we get closer to the US election

I mentioned this before, but the post-halving price action isn’t out of the ordinary – miners selling, sell the news $ flowing out are all in line with what has happened in past cycles

With a ~15% drawdown on BTC in 4 daily consecutive candles (and much, much worse for majority of alts) the supply overhang from mtgox, german/us gov seem to be more priced in than not (more detailed rationale linked)

I think the tricky part is to align this with the fact that chart technicals are in a fairly dicey area - daily and weekly structure are in a precarious position (below MAs and significant support lvls) atm.

The question then becomes – does the weighted $ care about these lines? Especially with the ETF the lines become more blurred (how much do the suits weigh squiggly lines on candlestick charts?)

Disagree or think I missed something? Would be curious to hear why I could be wrong here
