I'm Valentin Boulaire, 42. By day I run social media; by night (and most lunch breaks) I'm knee-deep in crypto and AI, watching the two worlds collide in real time.
I got my first coins back in the faucet era: the wallets that paid out satoshis just for clicking a captcha. That timestamp matters. I've seen the cycles, the rugs, the rebuilds, and I've kept enough scar tissue to stay skeptical without being cynical.
On this blog I cover the intersections: how AI agents move on-chain, how OpenAI or Anthropic releases ripple into crypto and gaming, and what the next wave of AI x crypto tooling actually changes for users. Less hopium, more receipts.
