If you've been scrolling through X (formerly Twitter) lately, you might have stumbled upon a intriguing post from Haseeb Qureshi, the managing partner at Dragonfly Capital. His tweet, captioned "Crypto x AI in a nutshell," features a photo of him speaking at the "Agents Unleashed" event, perfectly capturing the buzz around the fusion of cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence.

Who is Haseeb Qureshi?

For those new to the scene, Haseeb is a big name in crypto. As a managing partner at Dragonfly Capital, he's invested in some of the most innovative projects at the intersection of blockchain and emerging tech. He's also a co-host of the popular podcast "The Chopping Block," where he dives deep into industry trends. His insights are gold for anyone trying to navigate the wild world of crypto.

The Agents Unleashed Event

The photo is from the "Agents Unleashed: Builders Night" held during ETHDenver in early 2025, organized by Olas (formerly Autonolas), a platform focused on owning and monetizing AI agents powered by the OLAS token. This event brought together builders and thinkers to discuss the future of AI agents in crypto. Haseeb was the headline speaker, delivering a talk that's still making waves months later.

Key Takeaways from Haseeb's Talk

In his presentation, Haseeb didn't hold back. He called out the current state of many AI agents as "bullshit" – basically, fancy chatbots that do little more than shill memecoins on social media. If you've seen bots hyping up the latest dog-themed token or frog meme, you know exactly what he means. These "agents" are often just automated scripts pumping hype to drive up prices, contributing to the volatile memecoin market we all love (or love to hate).

But Haseeb isn't pessimistic. He believes real "agentic AI" – that's AI that can act autonomously, make decisions, and interact with the world like a human would – is on the horizon. This could revolutionize blockchain apps in ways we can't fully imagine yet. Think AI that manages your portfolio, executes trades, or even builds entire dApps without constant human input.

He also touched on the "utility tipping point," the moment when these agents move from novelty to necessity. And there's a cheeky warning: sovereign AIs (independent, self-governing ones) might end up as "scambots" if not designed carefully, potentially scamming users or manipulating markets.

How This Ties into Memecoins

At Meme Insider, we're all about memetokens, and Haseeb's talk hits home. Memecoins thrive on community hype, and AI agents are already playing a role in that – from bots spreading FOMO to more sophisticated tools analyzing sentiment for trading edges. But as AI evolves, imagine agents that create and launch their own memecoins, or ones that detect pumps and dumps in real-time to protect investors.

Projects like Capx AI, which replied to Haseeb's tweet with a humorous edit promoting their platform for building, owning, and trading AI apps, show how the space is heating up. Their "fixed it" meme added their logo to the photo, cheekily suggesting their protocol is the real nutshell of Crypto x AI.

The Future of Crypto x AI in Memetokens

Looking ahead, the blend of AI and crypto could supercharge memetokens. Autonomous agents might handle community management, airdrops, or even evolve memes based on viral trends. But as Haseeb warns, we need to build with caution to avoid a flood of scam agents.

If you're a blockchain practitioner eyeing the latest tech, keep an eye on events like Agents Unleashed and voices like Haseeb's. They provide the knowledge base to stay ahead in this fast-moving space.
