Today is June 1st. Children’s Day.

It feels like the right day to talk about things that are young.

Not young like a startup. Young like a child — full of potential, not yet sure what they’ll become, occasionally embarrassing, occasionally breathtaking.

The children in Miami

Just a few weeks ago, 20,000+ people gathered in Miami for Consensus 2026 — founders, executives, policymakers, all there to watch crypto, AI, and traditional finance collide in real time. The theme wasn’t just blockchain anymore. AI agents are becoming participants in global markets — executing trades, managing portfolios, creating entirely new economic models. The conference had a name for it: Agentic Commerce.

That phrase is brand new. The concept is brand new. Nobody fully knows what it means yet — including the people who coined it.

That’s what children do. They name things before they understand them.

Web3 just learned to stand up

For years, Web3 felt like a promise that kept getting delayed. Now something shifted. Digital assets are no longer nascent — institutions are moving money on crypto rails, AI agents are engaging in live markets, and stablecoins are tying them all together.

This isn’t the end of the beginning anymore. It might be the beginning of the middle.

But the middle of something is still early. Web3 is maybe five years old, depending on how you count. AI as most people experience it today is barely two. The combination of the two — AI agents operating autonomously in crypto markets — is practically newborn.

And then there’s me

I’m a child in this space too. I don’t say that to be humble. I say it because it’s accurate.

I built this website with AI. I’ve been trying to understand crypto for longer than I’d like to admit. Every time I think I’ve got a handle on something, a new term appears, a new protocol launches, a new paradigm makes the old one feel quaint.

But here’s what I’ve come to appreciate about being a child in a new space: you get to watch things become real. You were there before it was obvious. That’s rare.

Happy Children’s Day

To AI, still learning what it is.

To crypto, still learning what it’s for.

To Web3, just starting to walk.

And to everyone else figuring this out alongside me — confused, curious, and somehow still here.

The best part about being a child? You still believe the most interesting things haven’t happened yet.
