Reunited with a bunch of normie friends over the past 5 days. Solid corporate jobs, well-educated. Mostly banking, finance, and tech.
Here’s what I found:
- Not using AI in their normal workflows, especially at their corporate jobs — most AI tools are blocked and not yet integrated.
- Some are curious about crypto, open-minded and reading about it.
- Some are extremely against crypto, strong negative feelings.
- One uses stablecoins for moving money and receiving salary (wow!). Not yet investing or onchain though.
- Some dev friends (10 years of experience, highly qualified) feel threatened by AI and make fun of “AI coders.” Funny enough, some of their biggest pains at their jobs could be solved with AI agents in 1–2 hours instead of the weeks it takes currently.
Thoughts:
We are at a breaking point (AI / crypto), and the world is behind. If you are here, reading this, you are extremely early and well-positioned.
Take advantage of your position.
