This Week’s Madness: Meme Coins, AI Super-Agents & Telegram Drama!
Hey there! We at Algoryte couldn’t wait to bring this week’s hottest updates straight to you! Trump and Melania’s meme coins are taking over crypto, AI super-agents are the next big thing, and Telegram & TON are back together. Plus, AI might help us live forever—seriously.?
Let’s dive into it!
Trump and Melania Just Dropped Meme Coins—And the Crypto World Can’t Stop Talking
Just before his inauguration as the 47th U.S. President, Donald Trump, alongside First Lady Melania Trump, dropped official meme coins. Yup, you heard that right: $TRUMP and $MELANIA hit the scene and sent Crypto Twitter spiralling.
The reactions? Let’s just say they’ve been… colourful.
One Twitter user sarcastically called out the insider-heavy vesting, joking, “80% of tokens vest to insiders DURING the presidency... Should be a crime, but I guess crime is legal now.” ??
Meanwhile, William Scythe, founder of Alpha Prime Capital, didn’t hold back: “This is a sad day for America. From anti-crypto to a full-on crypto maniac, scamming his MAGA fans with a $TRUMP coin.” Ouch.
And Caitlin Long, CEO of Custodia Bank, pointed out the unexpected incentive this creates for Trump to push crypto-friendly tax laws. Could meme coins actually drive regulatory shifts? ??
SEC Chair Gary Gensler’s past warnings about the crypto space resurfaced, with one trader tweeting: “We’re sorry, Gary. You were right. Our space is a joke.”
But it wasn’t all doom and gloom. Trader Daan Crypto struck a hopeful tone, saying: “The market might enjoy this more than you think… especially if $TRUMP gets brought to multiple chains like ETH.”
And the market? It’s been wild. ??
In just a matter of hours, we witnessed a phenomenal surge in value, adding to the growing list of success stories from early traders—perhaps even insiders—who have already secured massive profits.
Turned $1.1M into $70M in just 4 hours. Unbelievable!
One trader sold 1.35M $TRUMP for $3.65M and still holds 4.62M $TRUMP (valued at $67.5M), raking in a total profit exceeding expectations.
While these coins grabbed all the liquidity, Bitcoin stayed steady, but meme coin OGs like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu took hits, dropping 7% and 6%, respectively. Poor Pepe Coin (PEPE) fell over 12%.
It’s a wild moment, filled with mixed emotions—part excitement, part ethical debate, and part “What on Earth just happened?”
What’s your take? Is this a turning point for crypto, or just another chapter in meme coin chaos??
AI Super-Agents Are Here—And They’re About to Change Everything
If you thought AI was already shaking things up, buckle up because we’re on the verge of a massive leap forward. OpenAI is rumored to be working on advanced AI super-agents that are Ph.D.-level smart and capable of handling tasks that we once thought only humans could do.
This new era, coined “The Intelligent Age” by OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman, is generating a ton of buzz. In fact, Altman has a confidential briefing scheduled with U.S. officials on January 30—just as industry heavyweights like Mark Zuckerberg predict AI will replace mid-level software engineers sooner than we think.
During a podcast with Joe Rogan, Zuckerberg mentioned: “By 2025, we at Meta—and other companies working on this—will have AI that functions like a mid-level engineer, writing code at the same level as someone you’d hire.”
So, what can these AI super-agents do? Picture this: an AI capable of designing, testing, and delivering new payment software, analysing massive data sets, or even planning complex events—all faster and more efficiently than a human team.
OpenAI’s rumored new release, called “Operator,” takes things to a whole new level. Reports suggest this multi-functional AI tool could autonomously handle tasks like:
Tests show it’s already outpacing humans in certain areas, like navigating websites, though it’s still refining its ability to handle more complex tasks (think setting up Bitcoin wallets or launching virtual machines).
What’s the catch?
Of course, with great power comes great responsibility—and plenty of concerns. OpenAI is reportedly running extensive safety tests to ensure tools like Operator aren’t misused. But the big fear is job displacement, especially in tech and administrative roles.
Even Zuckerberg admitted this shift is coming fast. But while some worry about losing jobs, others argue that AI could actually boost the economy, create entirely new industries, and open up opportunities in the AI space—provided we establish the right regulations to guide its growth.
The Bottom Line
If these AI super-agents hit the market soon, we’re looking at a game-changing moment for the tech world. Automation will accelerate, industries will transform, and the way we work might never be the same.
Telegram and TON Are Back Together—And It’s Getting Serious
It’s official: Telegram and The Open Network (TON) are teaming up again in a big way. On Tuesday, they announced an exclusive deal that cements TON as the go-to blockchain for Telegram mini apps—especially those with crypto integrations.
Here’s what this means:
Why is this such a big deal? If you didn’t know, TON and Telegram have a history. Telegram originally created the blockchain (then called Telegram Open Network) but stepped back in 2020 due to regulatory pressure. Development continued through a community effort, eventually rebranding to TON.
Fast forward to today, and Telegram and TON are fully intertwined. In the past year, we’ve seen:
And now, with this exclusivity deal, Telegram is doubling down on TON’s future. Mini apps and games using other blockchains (like Sui or Aptos) must migrate to TON to keep their crypto functionality intact. To sweeten the deal, the TON Foundation is offering migration grants based on audience size—up to $50,000.
What’s the bigger picture? This announcement arrives as the crypto landscape is shifting. Regulatory pressures in the U.S. may ease following political changes, and blockchain adoption across platforms like Telegram is steadily increasing.
For Telegram, this isn’t just about apps or games—it’s about setting the stage for a deeper integration of blockchain tech into everyday digital experiences.
OpenAI’s Bold Step: Can AI Help You Live Longer?
OpenAI just teamed up with Retro Biosciences to tackle something massive—extending human life by 10 years.
A little background: Retro Biosciences, backed by Sam Altman, has been collaborating with OpenAI for about a year to make this vision a reality. According to reports, both companies plan to share their findings and the model’s outputs, giving us a glimpse into the possibilities ahead.
Here’s what you need to know:
Why it matters:
This is in line with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s recent statement that AI can “massively accelerate scientific discovery and innovation,” bringing the company closer to achieving its goal of creating artificial general intelligence (AGI).
Could this partnership mean a breakthrough in longevity science? Only time will tell, but the idea of AI extending human life is definitely one for the books.
