1/ A market that is no longer paying for “almost,” but for winners.

2/ A few protocols take the fees. A few AI products get adopted. A few hard assets hedge the policy mess. “Infinite choice” is an illusion. The pie can grow and still not get shared evenly.

3/ Macro is messier than both sides want to admit. Weak jobs + sticky wages + stronger energy is not a clean recession print and not a clean disinflation print either.

4/ In AI, model capability is running ahead of actual usage. The bottleneck is no longer “can it do it?” The bottleneck is deployment.
