Piracy: the Maximum Upside for AI
Trump recently announced the initiation of "letters of marque" to allow pro-American "cyber-pirates" to raid enemy infrastructure. As of yet, the public statements concern "cybercrime", but the infrastructure and control systems of a foreign adversary surely fall into that category... until the Trump-Xi meeting, this statement remains vague - a threat - of what will happen, in an escalation.

AI is the Neutron Bomb We Actually Use - Constantly
The market still misses the purpose of AI's maximum utility: the obliteration of the adversary's capital.
Let's think about: say, for example, I use AI to "automate white collar labor": what I have really done is, in fact, make my economy more vulnerable to an effective agentic hacking attack: agents fundamentally respond non-deterministically, and to naively replace W2's to squeeze another 5-7% GDP for a year or so - not worth it.
Of course, industries such as medicine, material science, and others which have been dogged by atrocious research ROI do change forever because of AI - that's not in scope, though, and already was covered years ago.
The Best Use of AI, Outside of Hard Sciences - War
With agentic AI, imagine your adversary suffers Chernobyl - every week. SCADA hacks hourly on key compressor infrastructure, water pumps failing (ahem ahem), and utilities simply shut-down. This is no different than hitting a country with missiles and bombs - at all - but for some reason, it creates less alarm than outright conventional warfare yet imposes catastrophic economic losses on adversarial elites.
What is the global diesel fuel market? Let's assume $300B. How hard would it be to hack the competing refineries and terminals, allowing only, say, American refined oil products to be delivered? How would the US Treasury and Stock markets react, to such a headline?
Look at history: Germany, early WWII:
Without "improving" a single industry, without laying-off or hiring or other economic friction or noise, agentic AI hacking can literally add low-single digit percentages of wealth to the USA - simply by disrupting the infrastructure and capital of her adversaries. Conquering Imperial American adversaries naturally boosts American equities: markets love cheap conquests!
... and retaliation?
Retaliation? Imperial Americans HOPE they retaliate: only a "national defense crisis" can catalyze the required Caesarism to birth the revolutionary changes needed in America, including treason trials and asset nationalization of offending oligarchs who remain stubbornly off-sides (note who did switch sides and did shut-down their Foundations in 2024/2025) and their Foundations.
Then, comes annexation of new lands, absorptions of new peoples, and, presumably, the submission of the Fabian Left and its client, Xi's China.
How These Agentic AI's Work: Crypto/Blockchain ONLY
Adversarial Agentic AI, because it needs to avoid KYC/AML and as much friction as possible, manifests as the actual USE CASE for all the crypto and blockchain heretofore promoted and financed.
Yes, indeed: crypto isn't just a capital-flight vehicle to hurt Imperial American adversaries: it will soon become exclusively a medium for agentic AI to communicate, trade, and interface with the world.
Furthermore, more and more of the "normal internet" will be physically blocked and not publicly addressable: zero-trust protocols already became mainstream because of agents.
Those seeking to profit from crypto and blockchain must anticipate what works for agentic AI's - especially adversarial ones!
Trump "Hosts" American Agentic AI Pirates
By promoting cryptocurrency and blockchain protocols, Trump effectively "hosts" agentic AI pirates under US authority, with surplus redounding into the US economy and, in the case of stablecoins, US Treasury.
Invest in Crypto - Imperial America's "War Bonds"
Financing crypto and blockchain finances the platforms and assets required for effective agentic AI hacking of Imperial American adversaries. Indeed, these are the new "war bonds", hence the relentless promotion and support by the Trump regime.
