Robots, automation anxiety, and societal impact

Join Tommy Shaughnessy as he speaks with Logan, Managing Partner of Frictionless Capital, about the high-stakes race to build a global blockchain-based financial system. Logan shares his updated thesis on why monolithic, high-throughput architectures like Solana are winning the battle for real revenue and trading dominance over modular designs.They dive deep into the "Global Exchange" vision, the physics of time-to-inclusion, and how innovations like Proprietary AMMs (PropAMMs) are redefining market making. Logan also explores the broader implications of AI, from the compounding power of Grok to the societal impact of a robot-led workforce.🎯 Key Highlights▸Analyzing the Frictionless chart showing that crypto apps on Solana are the fastest to reach $100M in revenue globally.▸ Why Logan remains bearish on the "incorrect" modular design and Layer 2 scaling solutions. ▸ How the speed of light and server location prevent current centralized exchanges from being truly global. ▸ A look at the next engineering frontier. ▸ The "crypto-native" evolution of order books that uses massive Oracle updates to eliminate stale quotes. ▸ Why Logan believes the market will split into either fully regulated exchanges or fully decentralized global engines. ▸ Why Elon Musk's Grok is positioned to be the smartest model over time. ▸ The "freaky" transition to humanoid automation and the potential for a 20-day "atom-moving" data center revolution.💡 Want to stay updated with the latest in crypto & AI?
