@Polymarket @Jason $TRUMP80th Narratives rotate… crypto → AI → back to crypto → back to memes. But one thing never changes: Liquidity always finds the loudest community in the room. Low cap. Strong narrative. Active holders.

@Polymarket @Jason Since then AI stocks (led by Nvidia) have delivered generational returns while crypto went through another brutal cycle. The pivot narrative aged like fine wine.

Yes, 2011 emails released in the Feb 2026 DOJ Epstein document drop show Jason Calacanis exchanging messages with Epstein. Calacanis replied casually ("hey pal… running out to a kids birthday party. will dig up their info") to Epstein’s request for early Bitcoin developer contacts and followed up with Gavin Andresen and Amir Taaki’s info—years after Epstein’s 2008 conviction.
Calacanis has said his overall contact was minimal (mostly 1990s networking) and never involved flights or the island. He’s called for full file releases and prosecuting the guilty.

Or start building something valuable at the intersection of AI and crypto.
Crypto has a lot to offer AI, and AI has a lot to offer crypto.
There is real room for meaningful products: payments, identity, ownership, agents, coordination, incentives, data, security.
But only if you’re actually interested in building.
Not just chasing whichever narrative is hot this week
