The convergence of crypto, AI, and robotics is going to lead to the rise of “Apex companies” Maximally lean and ruthlessly automated at every level, with near-zero human overhead or friction, with unimaginable margins Crypto = Trustless financial layer, automated business logic execution (smart contracts & oracles), and immutable cryptographic verification AI = Autonomous self-learning knowledge workers, an infinitely scalable workforce optimizing every process with super-human precision and speed (displaces white collar workers) Robotics = Autonomous physical workforce, self-repairing and improving, from manufacturing and construction to transportation and beyond (displaces blue collar workers) The most efficiently profitable companies in the world today (by revenue generated per employee) are crypto companies (Tether, Hyperliquid, etc), I don’t think that’s coincidence Each of the pillars above, Crypto + AI + robotics, build on each other to create a sum greater than its parts, it’s only going to accelerate this trend of ruthlessly efficiency What I’m talking about are the inevitable multi-trillion dollar global enterprises ($100T), that have 5-10 actual executive employees and (maybe) a board of directors What does this mean for the rest of society? If not handled well, then mass unemployment and societal unrest, wealth inequality accelerates, but it could also be future where poverty, disease, and wars cease to exist Future is path-dependent, can be utopia or dystopia, it’s ours to shape

Furthermore, in this world, I think the lines between what is a “corporation” and what is a “protocol” will start to blur A corporation is a legal structure, but when most of what a company actually is consists of autonomous smart contracts, AI agents, and robots, is that not really just a protocol? The legal nuance of how to classify the company/protocol or the shares/tokens that own it matters less than the societal outcome they will create and how it's governed Trillion dollar companies Trillion dollar protocols They’re all converging toward the same thing
