Quirkys Surge on Royalties, AI Agents Move On Device

Royalties and Quirkys take over the conversation, with a real focus on how royalty-enforced contracts change incentives and bring collectors back into the mix. Papii’s leadership and community coordination come through as a major driver of the momentum, alongside a broader debate about what makes these runs stick versus fade. The show zooms out into the next onboarding wave, arguing AI agents are the clearest catalyst and that on-device models like Alibaba’s Qwen 3.5 make that feel closer than people think. They tie it back to distribution, pointing to Robinhood’s chain and tokenized stocks as the kind of Web2 funnel that could actually pull new users into crypto.
