What’s up Outpost Fam!
Quick update on Onchain Outpost! We have listened to your feedback and have made the decision to transition from our daily cadence to a more focused, three-day-a-week format. Here are the best parts you can look forward to:
👀 Monday: Flex Day (Airdrop Radar, Sound Bites, Project Spotlight)
🧠 Wednesday: Big Brain Breakdown
🐎 Friday: Weekly Roundup
We're making this transition because we believe it will enable us to deliver higher-signal insights that are much more valuable, actionable, and ahead of the conversations that occur on X.
Rather than overwhelming you with an abundance of information, we want to deliver content that helps you navigate through the complexities and sparks interest that leads you to developing your own theses.
(We don’t wanna be the guys to deliver/repackage the 1938th blog on some shit you already know about just for the sake of shipping a blog post.
If you have any questions about the transition or would just like to chat, feel free to hit us up on X! @PonziPaddy & @brodyadreon 👊🏻

Let’s dive into the key points 👇
Tether focuses on being the stablecoin for the unbanked, with partnerships like Telegram, catering to a global user base with simplicity and usability.
The team is expanding into AI, education, and telecommunications by building and investing in tools that prioritize user privacy and data ownership.
Ardoino believes that AI will have a significant impact on society, potentially larger than the industrial revolution, and could replace many jobs in the future.
The company has invested in biotech firm BlackRock Neurotech, which is developing advanced brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), to explore the potential of combining human creativity with the power of AI.
Ardoino emphasizes the importance of building localized AI that learns from people but allows individuals to keep their data private, empowering humans to remain unique in the face of centralized AI systems.
The company's long-term vision includes launching a tokenization platform and digitalizing currency in countries like Bhutan, while emphasizing the importance of stablecoins for individuals in emerging markets.
