This is the first major token purchase @foundersfund has made in a long time.
Did Tyler just bottom tick the bull run with ethereum:0xaeeaa594e7dc112d67b8547fe9767a02c15b5597 ?
Last week, Peter Thiel’s @foundersfund led a $5M token buy in @anvil_xyz.
The same week, @cryptosmiff sat down with Anvil founder @trspalding in Singapore for Conviction.

Congrats to the @get_optimum team on their first mainnet deployment, and kudos for making it freely available to all Ethereum node operators!
Check out Lido operator progress with testing mump2p on Hoodi on the Research Forum: research.lido.fi/t/perch-req…
The Optimum team is pleased to announce our first mainnet deployment, mump2p on Ethereum. With mump2p, data moves across all of Ethereum 2-3x faster, boosting validator performance and network health.
$3.4B of Ethereum stake is already being boosted by mump2p, and we’re now opening up free access for all Ethereum node operators.
ethereum:0xaeeaa594e7dc112d67b8547fe9767a02c15b5597 has the potential to disrupt a centuries old credit market.
Why can't anything of value I own be used as collateral?

Payments touch almost every part of our daily lives, and Tyler sees that as the reason to keep building in the space
Having worked close to the inefficiencies in payment systems, he sees an opportunity to improve something people rely on constantly.
Every purchase, transaction and exchange of value creates another reason to make payments work better.
For him, the scale of that everyday impact is what makes the problem worth solving.

"You go to a bank and say, 'Hey, I have this PSA 10 Illustrator Pikachu.' They have no idea what you're talking about. But if it's truly worth that and it's liquid, why not? It's in their interest to absolutely give you a loan based on these things."
Tokenization of alternative assets could open the door to making almost ANYTHING collateral, even your Pokémon cards!
Pretty soon a robot is going to very easily knock the shit out of you
we went to watch robots beat the sh*t out of each other at @ARC_Katena during @token2049 Singapore.

A society does not worship its saints; it worships what it cannot digest.
Every system exists to make the world useful, but there is always a surplus that must be burned, in the feast, the war, the bonfire.
Happy monday :)

@trspalding built the best current payment rail for the future with @FlexaHQ which collateralizes all the payments with ethereum:0xff20817765cb7f73d4bde2e66e067e58d11095c2
Here he mentions how collateral use case grew from that to then build @anvil_xyz for an entirely new use case. ethereum:0xaeeaa594e7dc112d67b8547fe9767a02c15b5597

AI agents won't have traditional credit scores, and Tyler expects permissionless collateral systems to become essential infrastructure for machine-to-machine commerce
“These sorts of decentralized systems have so much value to the world”
“Especially as AI is growing tremendously and there's more intra-machine commerce and transactions”
“It's going to be even more relevant to have some sort of collateral system, like a permissionless collateral system between these agents”
“AI is not going to have a credit score. So it's creditworthiness between machines”
“Instead it needs to be, here's the collateral. Here's what's all set up. We know we're good. I can make this transaction. Go ahead. We'll settle later”

Tyler wants Anvil to become a foundational piece of DeFi infrastructure, giving businesses the flexibility to build their own financial logic on top of a simple, scalable protocol
“We just want to get this to be used everywhere, as much as we possibly can”
“We built this as a real primitive now, allowing others to build on top of it and add in their own logic and their own conditions”
“Having a third party be able to validate whether a transaction is claimable or not. Did you make an interest payment? Did you default?”
“It's the base level of simplicity that we can create, but all of that can be added on. Any business can add it on”
“How do we make these sort of systems ubiquitous and also grow other DeFi projects?”
“Scale and allowing this to be usable for people is the number one goal”
w/ @trspalding
"Look, we're just a regular financial product, like anything else that you can use or integrate into your website. It's just code."
"That's where Founders Fund was really critical."
"They're very tech focused...and we're absolutely crypto, but we're just a regular financial product like, like anything else at the top of it."
Founders Fund, Pantera and Bullish bet $5M on @anvil_xyz's governance token

Tyler argues that crypto adoption is moving faster than most people realize, with some metrics suggesting growth beyond the internet's early trajectory
“A lot of technologies are like this. We look at the Bitcoin white paper, and we're like, yeah, exactly. That's how you would do this”
“What seems in hindsight very obvious really wasn't”
“Why is it taking so long for this to become a real thing?”
“It is becoming a real thing almost faster than anything else that we've seen”
“By some metrics, it's growing faster than the internet itself”
“The overall adoption of crypto and blockchain tech is literally faster than what happened with the internet”
