Bitcoin 2012 - Network Effect Maximalist - AI Maximalist - OTC Maximalist - Co-Founder & CEO: @second_lane
Joined January 2014
My co-founders and myself have managed the largest OTC network for the past six years, and to date, liquidity has been fragmented among many brokers & desks, with opaque pricing data & TX history. Yesterday, we came out of stealth to bring a licensed, consolidated global liquidity layer for secondary markets & illiquid digital assets to market. To date, we’ve executed over $400m in secondary TX’s across hundreds of projects. If you’re a founder, advisor, investor, team member, or foundation with locked tokens or equity, you now have a platform to list & trade those positions. Join the wait list & stay tuned as more details are to follow shortly.
So, it is official! Yesterday Second Lane was publicly announced at Consensus 2023 in Austin, TX. dApp functionality will be open to the public shortly. Stay tuned

If a tokens ‘value’ is derived purely from the attention economy, it will surely fail, (like all others before it) as the attention spans of most people alive have been collapsing for generations.

The sour grape theory is a thing.
I truly worry that theres not enough time left for most to grasp that when the next violent run-up for BTC happens it will be so generationally scarring that anyone who missed the boat will turn against it forever Stack your options now before it’s too late! Printer is coming.

They demand more power…BESS will supply it.
Deepseek, Claude and Copilot are all throttling access due to lack of compute..

@trappedotter My goal of time spent in the gym is for improving physical and mental wellbeing, not maximizing human interactions. There’s a time and a place for that.

Maybe I should build these into apps and sell them. Distribution is king and most people are so stuck in their old ways and chains of thought, that there is probably a market still. I think it’ll be an ‘all at once’ moment as the lightbulbs go off for people that the world has changed. I mean, how do actually compete against level 5 AI humans.

Another AI driven paradox emerges. You'd think it gets easier, but in fact, it's actually harder due to the exponential increase in NOISE and copies. Network effects are the edge (at least for now).

BESS is transforming energy markets and efficient #Bitcoin miners are the ideal offtake partners. High uptime from batteries makes large-scale solar mining viable, solving intermittency. This is the next phase of energy + BTC synergy. SecondLane Capital will continue to make strategic investments in next-gen battery tech to lead this transition. Accelerate.

BESS + BTC mining. We will consume all of the energy that the sun can provide, while assisting with grid stabilization and transition. The age of energy abundance approaches.

Living through exponential technological advancement breaks most brains. Don't get locked into the old ways.

Spot on. The real question isn’t how big AI agents are compared to software—it’s how much of global economic activity they’ll touch. That’s a TAM tied to GDP impact. AI agents represent a digital labor force, not just another productivity tool. Embed & accelerate.
Sizing the market for AI Agents by comparing it to software is like sizing the market for cloud computing by comparing it to fax machines.

@TradingHaven Yeah, and it’ll likely trend down thanks to the market competition for user attention to whatever the cost you pay for energy & hardware to access the tool(s) are. A great outcome for users.
