What we most enjoyed this week
King Arthur was the first African-American crypto billionaire. He’s one of the few crypto traders worth paying serious attention to.
He regularly publishes all his thoughts online for free (ka-ching).
In his latest essay, he breaks down why AI will pump ETH - and where he thinks the price of ETH will go.
To save you time, here is a summary:
To understand the numbers, you have to read the whole thing. As always with Arthur, it’s 100% worth it.

What can you do with 72,000 hours?
Will any of this matter in a world of AI?
Is the very nature of life going to change?— 6529 (@punk6529)

Along with 6529, Edgy is one of the GOATs 🐐.
His latest essay is a banger. Check it out.
In 2016, several of my millionaire friends suddenly went broke.
In January, we were popping bottles at Hakkasan. By the year's end, they asked if I knew if anyone was hiring.
I’ve seen this rapid rise and fall scenario play out constantly (especially in Crypto).

A lot of Tweets today, I know. Twitter changed its max character length to 10,000 - so many of the greatest essays now live on Twitter too.
🐦 A couple of (more!) Tweets we found interesting
The best of the bird
The US is now paying $970 billion in interest payments—up $41 billion in Q2.
At this rate, it will hit $1 trillion soon.
As tax receipts continue to lag sovereign debt growth, interest payments will increasingly be funded with revenue from... more debt issuance.
Get it now? 🌀

Two things Ive said when Elon bought "X":
Elon bought it for the AI, and the free speech angle is to give it an unbiased model. He needs the AI to train the Optimus robot.
He will use crypto to be able to make global payments for creators etc. My guess is he uses Doge. 1/
