Hey @grok, what would you project the price of $AERO and $VVV to be in 2030?

Hi @jessepollak, we just deployed Local Roots (localroots.love/) to the Base mainnet. But we're having issues with Coinbase for on/off-ramping users to our decentralized food marketplace. Support case #01548566 got rejected with no explanation. Can you help?

Venice ( $VVV ) is quietly outperforming the entire market up 300% this year alone. Venice became the "VPN for AI Agents" and it might have just become one of the most important projects to follow. One benefits of a bear market? You actually have time to check if a pump is a scam or a fundamental shift. So what's driving this pump and can it continue? ➤ AI has a massive privacy problem You probably saw that horror story on LinkedIn: an interviewer asking a candidate to share their screen and show their ChatGPT history to "analyze their personality." Insane behavior. But it highlights a reality. AI models analyze your finances, fitness, and beliefs. Venice fixes this. It provides a single interface to access all the popular models: DeepSeek, Claude, GPT-4, Sora, and Grok. - Completely private and uncensored - Zero data stored on servers - Zero shared with third parties It creates an unlinkable inference layer, which protects your data. ➤ OpenClaw Puts the Bottom in $VVV price bottomed in Nov 2025 when OpenClaw (Clawdbot) launched. Venice became the preferred model for autonomous agents, you can see in the OpenClaw docs. Look at the growth: - 2,000,000 registered users. - 25,000 active API users (MoM growth is vertical). Registered users are a bit of "vanity metric," it's not clear if they're guest or subs. But API growth has exponentially increased. ➤ Venice Tokenomics At a $285M Market Cap ($508M FDV), tokenomics starting to look pretty good. Emission Cut: In Feb, emissions dropped from 10M/year to just 6M. ~40M tokens are currently staked or locked. Only ~$6.3M (1M tokens) unlocking in the next 90 days. Nothing major. 42.73% of the supply has already been burned through ➤ Tokenized Intelligence: DIEM Venice introduced a first of its kind, DIEM. It turns AI compute into a tradable asset. Here’s the flow: - Stake VVV: Earn 18% yield. - Mint DIEM: Lock your staked VVV to mint tokens. - Credits: Each DIEM = $1/day of API credit, forever. - Unlock: Burn DIEM to get your original $VVV back. You can view on the chart, this has been increasing exponentially as well. This allows holders to sell access to developers while keeping their principal. It’s the first true "yield-bearing intelligence" token. ➤ Final Thoughts I'll admit, I originally thought of Venice as just a wrapped. But it seems to be building towards much more. It's the infrastructure for a world where you don't want Big Tech reading your prompts. Revenue-funded buybacks and a decreasing emission schedule, going to keep a close eye on it.

Yes, charts like this still exist. In a world where the need for uncensorable, anonymized compute is only gonna go parabolic, this chart will follow trend. You don’t have to overthink it. This is what actual usage looks like. 2.5 million users and counting.

People with interesting lives have no vanity. They: - swap cities - start new projects with no guarantees - are interested in people who are their polar opposites - resign without having another job in sight - accept invitations to do things they have never done before - are prepared to change their favorite color or their favorite dish They start from zero countless times. They are not frightened about growing old. They climb on stage, shear their hair, do crazy things for love, and buy one way tickets. –as quoted by Gio Sguario or maybe Martha Medeiros, translated from Portuguese

Curious who will be the @RaoulGMI of this cycle? The one who convincingly tells us that 100k, 200k, maybe even a blowoff top to $400k is next after we’ve already topped. I’m guessing @EricTrump.

I'll give chart requests one more run. If we don't hit the threshold (100 likes 100 RTs), I'll likely scale them back. Reason: I've started a new IRL business I'm now mentoring 2 students in a 1-on-1 trading bootcamp. Multiple weekly sessions, exams at the end of each module, and full focus on making them consistent, profitable traders. I take this seriously, no "PDF & video" groups, just tailored teaching. Since my priority is on my students, I'll be posting less here. Still, I'll drop high-quality posts when I can, just don't expect the same volume of chart requests.

Update: MEXC Attempts To Lure The White Whale To Meet In Person...For Potentially Sinister Reasons?? I received an email from MEXC (with my anti-phishing code and from their official domain). I triple-verified - it was authentic. The email claimed: “Our leadership team attaches great importance to cooperation with you and is very much looking forward to having a one-on-one communication with you to deeply understand your needs and expectations. To this end, we sincerely invite you to have in-depth communication with the leadership team.” They asked me to verify my TG ID. Once I did, I wasn’t met by a “leadership team.” Just one person: their Global Head of Customer Service - whose identity I confirmed through multiple channels including other MEXC employees. Then came the punchline: he insisted I travel to Malaysia to “complete KYC in person.” Let’s be clear. I’ve already done every form of KYC they’ve ever asked for: live video, address verification, phone number, multiple identity layers. Their own Terms of Service contain zero mention of any requirement for in-person KYC. Crypto kidnappings are on the rise - why would someone with over $100M on-chain ever agree to fly to another country and enter the lion’s den of an organization he's publicly protesting against? When I rejected the idea, his reply was telling: “But I understood that you have sought to expedite the unfreezing of your account.” Translation: If you want your funds, get on a plane. This is not compliance. This is coercion. What MEXC is attempting here isn’t “verification.” It’s intimidation dressed up as procedure. They are inventing roadblocks that don’t exist in their own rulebook, while dangling access to my rightful funds like ransom. If they can do this to me, they can do this to anyone. The question now is simple: How long will the industry turn a blind eye while exchanges resort to tactics that belong in crime thrillers, not capital markets? I know we’ve got their attention. Maybe we just haven’t been loud enough yet. I told him to come back to me when MEXC was ready to be serious. 🫡 From the depths — The White Whale 🐋

"If you want to launch a coin, and you want it on @Coinbase, and you don't want to risk not actually getting listed: Just launch it on @base, get liquidity on Aerodrome, and then you can buy it on Coinbase. This is so cool. This is the DeFi mullet we talked about in 2021." - @RyanSAdams & @TrustlessState

DEXs are now front and center for Coinbase One. That means Coinbase One members pay zero additional trading fees when using @coinbase to trade on DEXs like Aerodrome and can receive a 30% boost when they lock at least 2,500 $AERO. The world is coming onchain. 🛫
