Conscious memes are trending, and one in particular has caught our attention.

It sits at the intersection of finance, social networks, and meme assets.

@ai16zdao has created a portfolio that has doubled in value without any trading. How did it achieve this? We conducted an in-depth study.

First, let's take a look at the data. ai16z started on the @daosdotfun platform with slightly less than $100,000 in funding.

As creators used the Eliza asset for their own bots, the management scale of these assets has skyrocketed to $1.9 million. Why is this happening? Because it helps increase the exposure of the assets themselves.

It's somewhat akin to Snoop Dogg's approach to purchasing in the metaverse.

So how does it work?

The process consists of several parts.

ai16z relies on tweets from @pmarca and @DegenSpartan to make decisions. It then combines a conversational agent called Eliza with a Twitter client to establish social influence.

Clearly, KOLs (Key Opinion Leaders) are facing new competition.

The two bots, pmairca and @degenspartanai, adopt different strategies in their training methods.

AI Marc gathers data from a reputation-based chat platform where users are continuously evaluated based on their recommendations.

Good suggestions are given higher weight. This reminds us of Numeraire.

This design is particularly noteworthy for several reasons:

1. The bots gather collective intelligence in real-time through chat.
2. They can leverage reputation mechanisms to avoid bad trades.
3. Similar to KOLs, they build assets under management (AUM) by receiving tokens.

Does this represent the future of finance? We are not sure. For such bots to succeed, several factors are needed:

1. A niche community that can continuously update the bots.
2. A richer dataset that can be input into the system.
3. Embedded financial technology to scale asset management.

In the future, we might see a scenario where you can open a wallet and purchase an asset index related to a certain influencer or hedge fund expert. These assets will be stored in your wallet, but the asset management scale will change continuously based on the bot's decisions.

Collective intelligence is at your fingertips.

It seems that people do believe in such a vision. As of the writing of this article, several large holders in the token economy appear to still hold nearly all of their positions.

When it comes to personal interests, we remain optimistic—this wonderful blend of consciousness, collective intelligence, and meme assets. Who can say for sure? Perhaps in the future, we can trade a DAO based on Matt Levine, trained on all the articles he wrote for Bloomberg.

Or a DAO based on Martin Shkreli's posts? These are indeed interesting times.
