A few other thoughtful points I got from investor friends:
1. Don’t pretend working hard on smtg outdated or not promising;
2. For new directions, hire new ppl and team;
3. Decision making should be based on facts/numbers, not hypotheses.
4. Company is company, and charity is charity. Don’t run a company like a charity.
5. Startup is not a corporate. Team should be focused, adaptive, taking ownership of projects.
6. Find pmf and quick mvp.
A short summary of @festival_web3 last week in HK.
1. More ppl than expectation. There’s almost no much volume on chain, but still a lot of ppl attending the events, not just main event but also @BNBCHAIN one;
2. @ethereumfndn still trying hard to push the development of L1 and grow the dev eco;
3. Most VCs and projects are no longer in events or actively working. No new projects, devs and primary market is almost gone;
4. The 1% left builders and projects talking about agents, payments, trading and no more infra;
5. Many so called “active market makers” seeking deals with projects to help manipulate the tokens;
6. AI extracts money, devs, VCs, attentions, etc. almost everything from crypto. We can say it’s good for cleansing out mediocre, but looks like new talents don’t feel crypto as cool as 2020 to join.
Really tough time for all builders and investors still left in crypto. Need innovations to make it cool again.
.@claudeai code, @OpenAI codex, @openclaw and a lot of coding agents were inspired by @ManusAI 's general agent concept. It's somehow making devs to realize general agent was possible last year.

Ty for the interview. Great chatting about x402 and mpp, and sharing about eth2030.com, cryptoskill.org and altllm.ai.
抽空来写下和 @yq_acc 前段时间录的这期,相比前段时间龙虾带来的那种狂热,最近 Agent相关的舆论其实安静了很多。原因可能是 Agent 能力的复现没有大家想的那么完美。我们自己的工作流在经历了最初的惊艳以后,也会在重复使用的时候遇到各种各样的问题。所以我更愿意把这期播客称作一期 Agentic Commerce 反焦虑播客。这个事情最终会很大,但是你先别急。
1. 不用焦虑 Stripe 会吃掉一切
Stripe 推出了 Agent 专用支付链 Tempo,发布了 MPP 协议。看起来巨头要一统 Agent 支付了。但 YQ 的判断很直接:X402 更像一个协议,MPP 更像一个为 Stripe 服务的产品。
MPP 没有 Stripe 就用不到 60% 的效能,但 x402 是开源的,哪里都能接、哪里都能改。如果未来有更好的支付商替代了 Stripe,或者Stripe放弃了tempo, X402 还在,MPP 可能就不在了。
YQ还做了一个反共识的判断,他认为 @tempo 做不成独立结算层,大量crypto支付还是会发生在更通用的L1和L2上。
2. 不用焦虑 Agent Commerce 会迅速替代人类消费
只有 7% 的消费者信任 AI 替自己购物。YQ 把 Agent 获取人类信任拆成四层:
✦ 能力信任:同一个问题五个模型给五个答案,你搜完 Claude 还是会打开 Google 再搜一遍
✦ 财务信任:你愿意给钱包充 50 美金,你对它的信任就只有 50 美金
✦ 隐私信任:Agent 控制你的浏览器和邮箱,多少信息共享给了第三方?没人知道
✦ 利益对齐:Agent 是真的帮你找最便宜的显示器,还是拿了商家 20% 回扣?
每一层都是独立的难题,目前没有一层被真正解决。他说每次用 AI 第一件事就是进设置关掉训练数据开关,但即使关了也默认它会拿数据做训练。
3. 不用焦虑 AI 已经能完全替代人类工程师,至少在区块链领域是如此
YQ 用 AI 通宵数周跑完以太坊未来五年路线图(ETH2030),报告完成度 200%。但懂行的人一看就知道那个 200% 是 AI 偏离航道做了一堆不该做的事。
有 EIP 规范的功能 AI 能查到资料、相对快;没有 EIP 的地方它就自己猜、自己编,写着写着你都不知道它在干什么。他的比喻:相当于一个 24 小时写代码的初级程序员,写得飞快,但你必须配 CTO 和 Tech Lead 全程盯着。
AI 确实能压缩几年的工作量,但代码质量在未知领域严重依赖人的强约束和指导。
节目的最后我也问了YQ,那你关注的真正会出现改变的信号是什么?他表示:
“我现在十分想看到能超脱于我们已经有的这些用户场景,有一个 agent,它的 revenue 能超过一个 million, 但是场景必须是新的,我们需要看到一个全新场景。”
我们还在等那个变盘点出现,而当那个时间点出现,一切都会加速。
