With a $150k prize pool, backing from a $4B treasury, and direct access to Bybit's 7M+ users, this is the ultimate ecosystem for builders. Sign up here! In this year-end Bits + Bips roundtable, hosts Austin Campbell and Chris Perkins are joined by John D'Agostino, Head of Strategy at Coinbase Institutional, for a wide-ranging and often contentious look at what 2026 may hold for crypto. They debate whether a major global brand will launch its own stablecoin, whether altcoins are structurally doomed—or secretly set up for a Wall Street–driven resurgence—and whether a major crypto hack is coming. The conversation also explores how tokens accrue value and whether there will be a new M&A trend that'll reshape the industry as we know it. Plus: don't miss what they have to say about NFTs, financial nihilism, and whether we'll see all-time highs for bitcoin in 2026.

The top AI news from the past week, every ThursdAI

Ho Ho Ho, Alex here! (a real human writing these words, this needs to be said in 2025) Merry Christmas (to those who celebrate) and welcome to the very special yearly ThursdAI recap! This was an intense year in the world of AI, and after 51 weekly episodes (this is episode 52!) we have the ultimate record of all the major and most important AI releases of this year! So instead of bringing you a weekly update (it's been a slow week so far, most AI labs are taking a well deserved break, the Cchinese AI labs haven't yet surprised anyone), I'm dropping a comprehensive yearly AI review! Quarter by quarter, month by month, both in written form and as a pod/video! Why do this? Who even needs this? Isn't most of it obsolete? I have asked myself this exact question while prepping for the show (it was quite a lot of prep, even with Opus's help). I eventually landed on, hey, if nothing else, this will serve as a record of the insane week of AI progress we all witnessed. Can you imagine that the term Vibe Coding is less than 1 year old? That Claude Code was released at the start of THIS year? We get hedonicly adapt to new AI goodies so quick, and I figured this will serve as a point in time check, we can get back to and feel the acceleration! With that, let's dive in - P.S. the content below is mostly authored by my co-author for this, Opus 4.5 high, which at the end of 2025 I find the best creative writer with the best long context coherence that can imitate my voice and tone (hey, I'm also on a break!

It has been the year of AI.. and it seems we're just getting started OpenAI is on track to hit $13B of 2025 revenue, up from $4B in 2024, according to The Information. It's looking at annualized revenue now of up to $19B. But, Merriam Webster has named 'slop' as the word of the year - the dangerous byproduct of AI use. Slop is "digital content of low quality that is produced usually in quantity by means of artificial intelligence". You start to see it on Reddit, emails, documents.. it's now just so easy to create 'text' that it can appear in abundance - which isn't always ideal. Passkeys are starting to have their moment too The new alternative to passwords which verify the website you're trying to log into before actually sending any information to them. They're great because they eliminate phishing attacks, but.. they are a little tricky because unless they're shared to a password manager, they're stuck on that single device. So if you can't access that device, or it's destroyed, stolen etc, then you can't login. So, you need to make sure that 1) you sync them to a trusted manager like 1Password or a built in password manager like in Microsoft Edge and 2) that you have a recovery method, like a recovery email, set up on the account.

“Be authentic.” “Own your story.” “Sharpen your edges.”We say these things at Havener Capital all the time (and Stacy says them a lot). But here's the real question: do they actually move the needle?Mike Denklau, founder of Dorset Agriculture, is here to tell you they do. Today, he's giving us a behind-the-scenes look at what happens when you stop code-switching… and start building from your real story.Before launching Dorset, Mike was part of Harvard's endowment, helping manage a $4B+ agriculture and timber portfolio. Long before that, he was an Iowa farm kid. The journey from flannel in the fields to fund meetings in Boston is full of lessons for any founder navigating identity, fundraising, and first-time firm-building.Here's what you'll hear in this episode:How a kid from Iowa ended up managing billions at Harvard and how that full-circle moment sparked Dorset's launchThe overlooked opportunity in ag investing most firms ignore (and where meaningful, steady alpha may actually be hiding)How Mike landed his first investor without a pitch and without trading his comfy flannel in for a stiff suit to fit in Why boutique founders need to stop hiding behind polish and let LPs see the messy middle (because that's where conviction is built)What early-stage fundraising actually feels like and how to keep going when the uncertainty feels personal and loudThis isn't just a story about agriculture. It's a case study in what happens when you own your different, build what the market didn't even know it needed, and let your backstory do what it does best: open doors that fitting in never could. More about Mike Denklau: Mike was born into a third-generation farming family and raised on a farm in Iowa. He has 14+ years of investment and finance experience and was involved with $8B+ of transactions.Prior to Dorset, Mike was an agriculture investor at Solum Partners and Harvard Management Company. Previously, Mike held investment and investment banking roles at Hudson Advisors, Barclays, and Lehman Brothers.Mike earned a MBA and JD from Northwestern University and a BBA in Finance and a BS in Political Science from the University of Iowa.

Travis and producer Eric perform a tongue‑in‑cheek “autopsy” on the rise and fall of Clubhouse, revisiting a 2021 conversation with Jordan Harbinger where they questioned whether the app could ever compete with podcasting. They unpack why a product that looked brilliant on paper—and raised money at a $4B valuation—collapsed so quickly, and what creators, founders, and marketers should learn before betting their careers on the next hype platform. On this episode we talk about: What Clubhouse actually was (live, invite‑only audio rooms) and why early hype convinced many people it might “kill podcasting” Why Travis and Jordan were skeptical from the start: no on‑demand listening, chaotic audio quality, unqualified speakers, and a format that demanded hours of real‑time attention How follower counts and moderator status created a hollow, status‑driven game that rarely translated into real audience or revenue The psychological moment Travis realized the opportunity cost—half‑listening to a room while missing time with his infant son—and decided to walk away even if Clubhouse “won” How a few marketers did monetize the app (treating rooms like live webinars), and why podcasts and audiobooks still win for durable, compounding content and leverage Top 3 Takeaways Any platform that requires constant real‑time presence, but doesn't create durable assets (episodes, clips, searchable archives), is risky as a primary growth strategy. Vanity metrics and FOMO can lure smart people into massive time sinks; always weigh status and follower counts against actual business outcomes and life trade‑offs. Long‑form, on‑demand media like podcasts remain powerful because they respect the listener's time, allow deep preparation, and compound over years instead of disappearing after one live session. Notable Quotes “Clubhouse was like a podcast that doesn't get recorded, done by everybody on AirPods, with eight unprepared guests, none of whom are qualified to talk.” “I realized I was half‑present with my son just to ‘be a mod' and chase followers on an app that might not exist in a year—that was a terrible trade.” “Even if this is the next Instagram, I'm okay not ‘winning' here if the time cost means sacrificing what actually matters.” ✖️✖️✖️✖️

In this episode of Owned and Operated, John Wilson sits down with Ken Goodrich — legendary home services operator, turnaround specialist, and former CEO/Chairman of Goettl Air Conditioning & Plumbing — to unpack what it really takes to build, scale, and successfully exit a home service business.Ken shares the origin story that shaped his entire career: buying his first HVAC business at 25, getting crushed by payroll tax mistakes, and discovering The E-Myth at the exact moment everything fell apart. That wake-up call turned into a repeatable business-building playbook — one he's used to build and sell six home service companies, including taking Goettl from $11M in revenue and losing $3M to $250M across 11 locations and 1,000+ employees.John and Ken dig into the real mechanics of multi-location growth: why most owners hit a wall, how daily scoreboards and call-by-call discipline keep branches aligned, and what changes before you have a full senior leadership bench. Ken also lays out his view on the “sweet spot” for exits, when to bring on capital, and why operators should treat every growth phase like a 1,000-day value creation sprint.If you're thinking about acquisitions, preparing for multi-market expansion, or asking “when is the right time to take chips off the table?” — this episode is the blueprint.What You'll LearnHow Ken used E-Myth systems to go from tech-owner chaos to scalable processThe multi-branch management cadence that keeps remote locations on-trackWhy “easy lead years” create sloppy habits — and how to run with a scarcity mindsetThe real EBITDA thresholds that change your exit options and multiples

In this episode, John Wilson sits down with Patrick Dichter, owner of AppleTree Business Services, to break down what “good accounting” actually looks like inside a growing home service business — and why financial clarity becomes a competitive advantage as you scale.John opens up about a hard truth: he didn't get his first clean month-end close until last year, and it made almost a decade of decision-making harder than it needed to be. Patrick walks through the real stages most home service operators go through — from “Checkbook Charlie” to outsourced bookkeeping to in-house controllers — and the exact problems that show up at each stage.They dig into why growth eats cash even when the business is “doing everything right,” how bad accruals and broken CRM/accounting integrations quietly destroy margins, and what a simple cash forecast can do to keep you out of trouble. John also shares the painful lesson he learned in 2025: you can run a strong P&L and still get smoked on cash if you're not thinking about the balance sheet.If you've ever asked “where's my money?” while growing, struggled to trust your gross margin, or felt like your business is flying blind month-to-month — this one is for you.

Jim Hill and Eric Hersey trace the ambitious — and ultimately ill-fated — vision for Universal's Dark Universe, from the scrapped sequel to The Mummy to Tom Cruise's push to reinvent himself as the studio's modern Van Helsing. NEWS Universal courts talent and headlines by hiring Mark Platt and director Lorene Scafaria for a Sabrina Carpenter–led Alice in Wonderland musical. Comcast explores a bid for Warner Bros. Discovery, with Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs advising. Competing interest from Netflix and Apple raises the stakes ahead of WBD's planned corporate split. Peacock sets a new premiere date for The Epic Ride documentary, now featuring rare dragon-drone testing footage from Epic Universe. A closer look at how the industry shake-ups could affect theme park rights, licensing, and future Universal IP development. FEATURE The original plan for a direct sequel to 2017's The Mummy — and how the story would have expanded Dr. Jekyll's organization and the gods-and-monsters mythology. Why Tom Cruise's version of Nick Morton was conceived as the entry point to a larger shared universe… and how internal plans positioned him as the modern Van Helsing, monster hunter and connective tissue between films. How Cruise's hands-on creative control — the same instinct that later led Top Gun: Maverick to a $1.4B box office — clashed with Universal's rollout of the Dark Universe brand. A breakdown of what actually killed the Dark Universe: mismatched expectations, a premature cinematic universe announcement, and a marketing campaign Cruise felt undermined the film he delivered. Why Epic Universe's Dark Universe land succeeds where the films didn't — channeling classic-monster storytelling without the burden of a forced franchise blueprint.

In this episode, ARK's Cathie Wood and Brett Winton sit down with Sean McClain, Founder and CEO of AbSci, to explore how generative AI is reshaping drug discovery, development timelines, and clinical costs. Sean walks through real-world examples of AI-designed antibodies—such as AbSci's breakthrough HIV antibody and a regenerative treatment for hair loss—and explains how these platforms are helping unlock previously “undruggable” biology.They discuss AbSci's Phase 2-ready hair growth antibody (BS201), the company's partnerships with Caltech and AMD, and why the FDA's evolving embrace of AI could accelerate the end of animal testing. The conversation closes with a forward-looking discussion on the role of regenerative medicine in longevity—and why AI drug discovery might just pull biotech out of its multi-year bear market.Key Points From This Episode:(00:00:00) How AbSci uses generative AI to design antibodies from scratch(00:02:42) HIV, ion channels, and the promise of targeting "undruggable" biology(00:06:28) AbSci's BS201 drug for hair regrowth: mechanism, speed, and cost advantages(00:13:20) Clinical timeline: From concept to Phase 2 readout in 3.5 years(00:15:34) Bringing costs down: $100–150M vs. the industry average of $2.4B(00:17:36) Why AI enables “keys designed for specific locks” in drug targeting(00:22:58) What AbSci's models are trained on—and how prompts work in drug inference(00:25:32) The future of clinical testing: AI replacing animal models(00:36:43) Sarcopenia, strength loss, and regenerative approaches to aging(00:48:10) BS201 as a long-acting pulse therapy—and how it compares to transplants

Luke 15:1-2 Now the tax collectors and "sinners" were all gathering around to hear him. 2 But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, "This man welcomes sinners and eats with them." (NIV) 5 DIFFERENCES BETWEEN OLDER BROTHER CHURCHES AND LOVING FATHER CHURCHES 1A. OLDER BROTHER CHURCHES ARE CONSUMED WITH THEMSELVES Luke 15:29 But he answered his father, 'Look! All these years I'VE been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave ME even a young goat so I could celebrate with MY friends. (NIV) 1B. LOVING FATHER CHURCHES ARE CONSUMED WITH WHO’S MISSING 2A. OLDER BROTHER CHURCHES ARE COUNTING RIGHTS AND WRONGS Luke 15:29 But he answered his father, ‘Look! All these years I’ve been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends. (NIV) Luke 15:30 But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!’ (NIV) 2B. LOVING FATHER CHURCHES ARE COUNTING SOULS Luke 15:32 But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ ” (NIV) 3A. OLDER BROTHER CHURCHES FOCUS ON RULES Luke 15:30 But when THIS SON OF YOURS who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!’ (NIV) 3B. LOVING FATHER CHURCHES FOCUS ON RELATONSHIP Luke 15:27 ‘Your BROTHER has come,’ he replied, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.’ (NIV) Luke 15:32 But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother OF YOURS was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ ” (NIV) Luke 15:24 For this son OF MINE was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate. (NIV) 4A. OLDER BROTHER CHURCHES RESENT GRACE Luke 15:28 “The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him. (NIV) 4B. LOVING FATHER CHURCHES REJOICE IN GRACE Luke 15:32 32 But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ ” (NIV) Ephesians 2:8–9 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—9 not by works, so that no one can boast. (NIV) 5A. OLDER BROTHER CHURCHES STAND OUTSIDE THE PARTY Luke 15:28 “The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him. (NIV) 5B. LOVING FATHER CHURCHES PLEAD WITH OLDER BROTHERS TO JOIN THE PARTY Luke 15:28 “The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and PLEADED with him.
