William and I-man are back for episode 309, breaking down the AI solopreneur story that took over crypto Twitter — a developer who built a billion-dollar GLP-1 distribution business using AI-assisted marketing. They dissect the hype vs. reality: what actually matters is domain knowledge and market experience, not just plugging into Claude. From there, the conversation gets serious as Google's new quantum computing white paper drops a 2029 deadline for Bitcoin to implement post-quantum cryptography, with fewer qubits required to break elliptic curve encryption than anyone expected. Adam Back's dismissal of the threat and the Bitcoin developer community's silence get called out directly.
The crew wraps up with a deep dive into the state of NFTs — OpenSea doing $6,000 in daily volume, Magic Eden distributing $32,000 (not million) in airdrops, and DEX trader counts collapsing from 30 million to near zero after the TrumpCoin peak. Against that backdrop, they preview the NAT.fun platform launch, explaining the NATDAO fund model, bonding curves, creator viability stages, and why launching NFTs at zero market cap (instead of the traditional $20M+ floor) is the core thesis fix.
