Odaily News: Arthur Hayes posted on X that someone asked him why he is launching an AI/crypto project while believing AI is a bubble about to burst. He stated that the bubble exists in the debt used to build data centers, as well as in the stocks of unprofitable hyperscale cloud providers and frontier labs. "Price is what you pay; value is what you get." He is 100% confident in the Agentic Economy, and the excess compute capacity brought by debt-funded construction supports his assessment of Flop Labs.
Previously, Arthur Hayes announced he would end his retirement and lead Flop Labs. Flop Labs is "food" for AI agents. The project has no pre-sale, no VC participation, and adopts a 100% fair launch model.
