Key Insights

Bullish:

  • 🟢 $ZKPROOFS - Zero-knowledge proof technology is seen as a fundamentally disruptive force that empowers users and challenges established institutions, potentially leading to significant changes in internet infrastructure and data authenticity.
    • This technology is kind of, like, fundamentally disruptive, and it's more towards, you know, empowering the user. And it actually is, in some way, larger institutions and incumbents, which are already established as more or less have a disincentive from seeing this happening.” - Sinu (41:00)
    • The Internet relied previously on repeatability existing just due to, you know, no one had come up with a clever trick to modify TLS to make this possible. I'm sorry, but that's over now. These technologies exist, and the Internet is just gonna have to adapt to the new reality that, you know, any information that you're distributing is potentially going to be, you know, cryptographically proven to a third party.” - Sinu (44:31)
    • For for the for the off chain use case, you know, you can prove the authenticity of some data at some, like, origin. And, you know, AIs need data. When you're trying to train your LLM, you need a lot of data. And ideally, that data would be authentic and wouldn't be, you know, maybe perhaps generated by another LLM.” - Sinu (41:45)
