🌔 $DOGE

Elon Musk is always on the lookout for great things. Reusable rockets, The Boring Company, social networks, and SpaceX, and yet he remains an important part of each. He is also a centibillionaire. On a deeper level, he might even have some DOGE. Who knows? He was promoting DOGE before Trump slowed down the "efficiency".

While the U.S. government is in a partial shutdown, xAI, the artificial intelligence startup beloved by Musk, merges with SpaceX, raising its combined valuation to over 1.25 trillion dollars. This means that SpaceX and xAI alone are worth about the same as the total market capitalization of Bitcoin. Even when adding the value of all the meme coins, including Solana tokens, none come close.

From what we know, after the merger, xAI opened a vacancy for a quantitative expert in cryptocurrencies. For a company that also holds Bitcoin, this is great news, not just for short-term prices but for the role cryptocurrencies could play in the space race. It also indicates that some of the major cryptocurrencies are being integrated into the core infrastructure of the new company. The markets did not react with a single price increase, but the message was clear: big tech companies want to integrate knowledge about cryptocurrencies directly into AI models. This shows that cryptocurrencies are no longer a secondary experiment; data about cryptocurrencies is now on the same strategic level as rockets and satellites.

At first, it was a surprise. However, it fits with a broader trend: AI systems learn directly from real commercial data. Based on what is public, xAI is looking for someone to train its AI on how cryptocurrency markets operate in real-time. This includes derivatives trading and on-chain analysis, which involves reading public blockchain data like a bank statement accessible to all.
