Erik Voorhees

You saw big voices of the community come out and champion it.

I mentioned Roger Ver, Eric Voorhees, another crypto billionaire who would have come out early on and said, hey, this exchange is great.

It's adding to the economy.

Again, there was this really exciting idea at the time that Bitcoin was starting to get some of the financial products and traditional trading experiences that we think of.

Congratulations to the believers.

Congratulations to Eric Voorhees for printing another couple billion dollars.

And building a good product on the way too.

Man, Eric is just so cool.

Yep, that's right.

The other cool bullet chart that I saw was this chart from Eric Voorhees talking about the rate of token consumption on Venice.

It is a...

Wait, wait, wait.

So it's not you can't be completely universal.

You know, Eric Voorhees is calling Venice, right? Doing pretty well, you know, and, you know, you have this Venice app and you have this coin that enables you.

I mean, it's super complicated, but the coin enables you to mint some other coin that gives you more access to the Venice thing.

It's complicated.

So the reason I wanted to bring this up is I'm a big fan of Venice.

It's run by Eric Voorhees, who I think is a very sharp individual.

And I do believe like with all these chatbots and however you want to call it, with all this censored stuff, centralized data, I should say, in ChatGPT or Gemini or Grok, wherever you're using, there is a place here for Venice and what they're doing.

And there's a unique flywheel with the Venice token, but it absolutely ripped.

Kind of like I want like Hyperliquid to win and like Zcash to win, et cetera.

These are like good builders, right? Eric Voorhees was like, Eric Voorhees has been shilling us like crypto as an industry for a minute, right?

Can I share another token chart that looks not quite as good as VVV, but it's also pretty good.

Lit.

we'd love to talk to them they're you know this is a crypto podcast after all so i think a lot of people here are trying to figure out are agents the next big thing in in crypto and um I forget who said this.

Someone said, maybe it was Eric Voorhees who started another company called Venice that's doing quite well right now.

But I think he was the one who said, maybe humans weren't actually the end customers for blockchains after all.

Maybe we have just been waiting for these agents.

63% of all American driver's license are out there.

This is Eric Voorhees.

KYC is a bullshit scam that endangers millions of innocent people so that regulators can feel as if they're providing value to the world.

I concur, Roman Storm.
