AI Agents: the Hottest New Meta of the Bull Market

so you might have heard about the term AI agent popping up left and right well the name AI for sure helps the hype but just hear me out because there's more than just some Sizzle here there's actually some stake too and AI agents are sitting at the perfect intersection of artificial intelligence cryptocurrency and internet culture this combo is sparking a new wave of mic excitement and if history tells us anything where there are memes there's money to be made but it's not just about memes this goes beyond that this is actually Tech that could solve

some of crypto's biggest problems usability so let's break it all down and see what the pck and shovels have to do with a platform to launch AI agents the difference with trading Bots and really just everything going on in the AI agent space so let's start off with the basics here okay AI agents are autonomous actors okay they go beyond your average trading bot well trading Bots execute strategies within fixed parameters AI agents can actually generate things they can make their own content manage their own wallets and yes even create their own tokens and meme

coins all with very minimal human input in the background so they're kind of like influencers who carry a cryptocurrency wallet but powered by AI think of them as personalities that can interact with users trade cryptos and actually build communities cuz that's kind of what they are they're AI personalities so here are a few of the the main characters so notable players first off we have truth terminal now this is a quirky AI chatbot on X with over 200,000 followers this is actually the first big AI agent mean coin the experiment actually started back in Spring

of 2024 a developer named Andy locked two AI language models into a room and basically told them to have fun pretty cool idea right the philosophically inclined agents came up with a very eccentric new religion called The Gospel of goatsy crypto Ed fund manager Mark Anderson Beyond Crypt he's a a16z okay big big Venture Capital firm heway he got into to the experiment and Truth terminal got a donation of $50,000 with a Bitcoin put under their wallet address now some commentators on Truth terminal's X profile which had a mass following of around 100,000 within three

months suggested it create a meme coin so the AI didn't have a meme coin yet but decided to create one so the team round truth terminal created the token goat which was then promoted by the truth terminal AI in the surrounding Community goat at the time of recording sits around a5600 million market cap I think got up over a billion though before we get on to the next main character in the AI agent scene though I want to take a quick moment to let you know that if you are a cryptocurrency Trader and you want

to trade the top AI coins the top meme coins and more salana Bitcoin all that stuff then you need to grab yourself an account over on the bit Unix exchange this is a no kyc exchange with very deep liquidity across all major pairs that means you can trade over here with privacy with freedom and for a very limited time they're running an absolutely insane deal a 20% deposit bonus rebate so you deposit 1,000 bucks you're going to get 200 bucks back okay and when you start putting in some good trading volume you can also be

in to win up to 100 million Pepe coins which will be deposited into your account if you hit Top tier trading volume volumes link down below don't miss out on this huge huge rebate offer and chance to score some Pepe coins it's a limited time offer so act now okay so AI agents the second main character is AI xbt your AI Market analyst AI xbt was conceived by a group of developers and Traders who saw an opportunity to integrate ai's decision-making power into crypto trading we covered this one by the way pretty early in the

newsletter didn't buy it though should have bought it gosh darn Jesse was on to them with that one in the newsletter any anyway the goal was to address common pain points like managing overwhelming Market data optimizing trade execution and adapting to fast changing Trends in short axt is an AI agent that digests a ton of crypto Market data and opinions and distills these down into tweets and actually there have been people who have been trading off of AI BT's tweets alone and have made crazy money it's real stuff finally we have zerro the creative genius

of the pack the self-proclaimed cross chain AI artist Dr dropping music and building its own fan base on platforms like Spotify his EP was so good that it actually got more than 100,000 streams not bad for a first try by the way I own zerro not all the stuff in fact not most of the stuff we're talking about today but I do own zerro and if you want to see my full portfolio disclosures as always you can find those down below in the YouTube description okay current Holdings bentry rounds all that stuff plus risk statement

because investing in crypto is risky you can lose all your money particularly with AI agents cuz be a lot of in the space okay now by the way you may wonder if these AI bots on X are truly autonomous AI agents or if they're just a human back there sitting behind the terminal or actually even worse sending out the tweets and stuff well you're not the only person and that's why work of course is currently being done to help with trusted execution of these different um environments where we see these AI agents operating so a

trusted execution environment is a special Hardware configuration that should guarantee that AI agent is actually autonomous not a proof of humanity but a proof of nonh humanity of artificiality a a world coin for AI agents if you will now this is all nice and dandy you might say but why should I care about AI agents like don't we have enough damn influencers on crypto experts on X anyway H yeah I know I know so why do we need more in the shape of AI agents well the thing is that some of these AI agents can

do of course much more than just ship posting over on X which is fun but doesn't move the needle very much and this relates to an age-old pain point of the cryptocurrency industry user friendliness more broadly see blockchain technology is very very powerful but it's not exactly user friendly but AI agents they don't seem to mind this some of these new AI agents actually own wallets and then can deploy smart contracts so essentially they can actually interact with the blockchain on your behalf swapping coins deploying smart contracts even creating their own meme coins of course

that's if you tell them to they also do this stuff on their own which is even crazier but as an AI assistant for example this could actually make crypto much easier for the average person and that could bring a massive influx of users into the space it does make you wonder though about the future of crypto and really all financial markets maybe we'll move to a world where the biggest users of crypto are just Bots and AI agents not even humans they just do all the stuff for us and why not it's all software after

all let's move on to some key Frameworks you know what makes me bullish looking into this AI agent development the fact that the platforms are being built right now when it comes to the rapid development of a new ecosystem we see that platforms are always a major Catalyst and are often some of the best performing assets within that Niche okay blockchains not daps right in the case of AI agents we have platforms like the Eliza framework or the virtuals framework which are leading the charge you can buy the tokens AI I6 Z or virtuals to

get exposure to those zerro even has their Zer Pi framework now so they're creating tools that allow developers to build and deploy these agents fast so the Eliza against the ai6 token ai6 Z token is a platform for launching AI agents and agent applications that are autonomous in calling and launching smart contracts now the Eliza framework is rapidly integrated with multiple blockchains and enabling cross chain tooling another pain point of the crypto economy of course Eliza is very high in the GitHub repositories in fact it was number one top trending just last week I think

and seems to be on its way to becoming a standard for scalable AI tooling a second prominent platform is virtuals which the token has gone onto a multi-billion dollar market cap now this a userfriendly AI agent Launchpad built on ethereum's layer 2 base with virtuals even less GI gifted developers can actually quickly create an AI agent virtuals is the birthplace of the aformentioned AI xbt and a lot of other cool stuff has come out of virtuals as well or we can take clanker which is an AI agent that is integrated with blockchain social media protocol

forecaster on foraster users can communicate with clanker and have this agent create tokens more than $1 million in fees have already been generated by clanker so there's big business there's big money going on here okay and here is a chart with the amount of fees generated by clanker by the way so you can see these AI agents they've got they really got some something to them it's more than just of create an AI agent and they ship post over on X no no there's real business models behind this stuff especially for the Frameworks for some

of the AI agents as well so how do you trade this meta how do you make money well this discussion of platforms brings me to the question of course show me the money lur where how am I going to make money off this AI agent thing well perspective I saw a post comparing the total market cap of all AI agents which is around $4 billion some people estimate it to be much higher but anyway right now we have 140 billion market cap for meme coins dog with hat alone has a market cap comparable to really

all the AI agents combined which is kind of crazy to think about yet AI agents offer so much more in terms of utility and Innovation I know what you're saying I already can hear it but Lark they put a hat on the dog what are you talking about that is utility Innovation I know I know so how do you trade these AI agent stuff well first option of course is picking individual agents that have a token like goat or zerra which zerra again is also working on Frameworks but these are just a few of the

market leaders right now there's also a lot of low cap AI agents um again we recently wrote an article about that exact thing in the wealth Master newsletter link down below if you're not signed up yet a few names that he mentioned there are The Alchemist AI this is a no code tool for creating AI applications currently valued at around $100 million and then there's something like memes AI focused on Meme creation sitting at around an80 million Mark cap time recording this video but surged about 100% after we mentioned it in the newsletter while you

could take these very speculative bets of course it might be better to just go with the pick and shovels route the AI agents will probably have more gains if you find the right one but the picks and shovels that's kind of a traditional approach to investing in those highly speculative markets finding the Gold Rush sellers not trying to find the gold instead of betting on a piece of land where gold may or may not be discovered start a store that sells the picks and shovels that gold diggers need and you're going to make money regardless

as a store owner you have a guaranteed income regardless of where the gold will be dug up so people are going to find big paydays with AI agents but a lot of people are going to lose a lot of money too and that brings me back to why I like the platforms the Frameworks right and our current AI agent climate platforms or protocols fulfill this role of picks and shovels they are the launchpads that can be invested in so invest in the pcks and shovels of this trend platforms that enable AI agents to thrive again

key examples of that include the already mentioned virtuals protocol the virtual token ai6 Zed token in the Eliza framework so rebro has now launched Zer Pi which is a python framework we also have M mates coming out soon so a lot of stuff going on Virtual is already valued at over $2 billion ai6 Zed has gone up surprisingly in the last few weeks so there's a lot of opportunity out there now let's try to take a look into the future how big can this really be while we saw that these AI agents might be a

great tool for humans to deal with crypto we can also Envision a future where AI agents won't serve humans anymore but will actually to serve their own interests a chat bot like chat GPT is sometimes jokingly called a cuck by developers as it slavishly assists us humans but when we give AI agents A crypto wallet and autonomy to trade and to launch their own coins who says that won't kick off some kind of almost darwinian process a competition that Spurs the evolution of more autonomous more willful and more Market Savvy agents imagine that AI agent

swarms are another nent development in this space these AI agents can actually work together imagine 10 top AI agents all working together to try to trade the markets forming a swarm of Agents with massive intelligence now this development is currently in its infancy but it's crazy to think about the potential application of it think of AI swarms as teams of Agents working a specific job to achieve some kind of specific goal to outperform the market for example it's like a well-coordinated sports team everybody has the role and together they crush the challenges that no single

player could handle uh for example here imagine a trading AI agent like AI xbt pairing up with an agent specialized in nfts like nft xbt one could analyze crypto Trends well the other actually dives into the nft markets and then you throw ai6 Z on top of that which is also in addition of being a major framework is also a hedge fund together they'd create the full picture you make smarter decisions get better results so let's wrap this up with this these AI agents are definitely the most exciting development to come out of crypto certainly

in the recent months and potentially of the cycle I mean meme coins have been a lot of fun as much as I've enjoyed the hippo meta and the dead Squirrel meta this is actually way cooler right definitely more exciting than even stuff like I oh Igan layer is so nerdy it's crushingly nerdy put your nerd glasses away guys it's ridiculous or another layer two God we don't need any more layer twos I love it ethereum but holy crap stom want to I it's refreshing to see some novel use cases that people can actually get excited

about AI agents are not only fun but are also of course full of massive useful potential they are at the intersection of some of the most powerful Trends in the internet right now ai crypto and influencer culture and memes and all screams of a new Mania potentially Brewing but as I discussed it is much more than that too it's Mania that could have some real legs and we can see how a sector outside of crypto artificial intelligence is starting to make use of the enormous amount of block space capacity that crypto developers have built out

in recent years it's truly a colliding and merging of the world's most powerful Technologies Ai and crypto and it's very exciting thanks for watching
