Arthur Hayes + near:native Co-Founder Just Dropped Crypto’s Next Meta In a fresh podcast, @CryptoHayes and Illia Polosukhin broke down where the market is heading: Governments will keep printing money to fund wars and the AI arms race → liquidity flows straight into Bitcoin and high-conviction crypto. The era of “just build a blockchain” is over. Winners will have real revenue, strong tokenomics, and actual users. Privacy is the next 1000x narrative. Hayes is heavily in $ZEC, calling it digital cash for the AI surveillance era. NEAR is pushing hard with Confidential Intents - anonymous cross-chain swaps and payments. Future: AI agents autonomously trading, paying, and managing capital on blockchain rails.
