Ever feel like the crypto space is one big game of hot potato, where everyone's chasing the next shiny thing? Well, buckle up, because Robert Chang—a true CT (Crypto Twitter) legend and the mind behind innovative projects like Thru.xyz—just laid it all bare in a no-holds-barred interview on ThreadGuy Live. In this clip that's already stirring up the feeds, Chang explains why robotics companies are cozying up to crypto money like it's free candy at a parade.

Picture this: You're a robotics startup burning through cash on servos, sensors, and that one engineer who swears by Red Bull-fueled all-nighters. Traditional VCs? They're picky, demanding ironclad roadmaps and years of traction. But crypto folks? They're aping into special purpose vehicles (SPVs—think pooled investment funds for high-risk bets) faster than you can say "to the moon." Why? As Chang puts it with his signature bluntness: "A lot of Crypto money has aped into these robotics deals through SPVs. You have to ask yourself, why are these companies raising from Crypto people?"

He doesn't stop there. Leaning into the mic with that knowing smirk, Chang delivers the kill shot: "Who better to have as your exit liquidity than Crypto people? These are the stupidest people on the planet; they’ll believe anything." Oof. It's the kind of hot take that has degens clutching their pearls—or their Solana bags—while nodding along in secret agreement.

But let's break this down without the salt. Exit liquidity, for the uninitiated, is basically the suckers (or eager buyers) who swoop in to buy your shares when it's time to cash out. In crypto's wild west, where hype cycles spin faster than a fidget spinner on steroids, robotics firms see an opportunity. AI and automation are the darlings of 2025, with everyone from Elon Musk to your neighbor's garage tinkerer betting big on humanoid bots and warehouse wizards. Toss in some blockchain buzz—like tokenized assets or decentralized manufacturing—and suddenly, you've got a narrative that screams "100x potential."

Chang's point hits home especially hard in the meme coin arena. Remember how Dogecoin rode Elon’s tweets to billions? Or how PEPE turned frog memes into fortune? Robotics could be the next frontier for that kind of irrational exuberance. Startups aren't just raising funds; they're crafting stories that tap into our collective FOMO (fear of missing out). Crypto investors, often riding the wave of viral pumps and community-driven moons, are primed to bite. One day it's a whitepaper promising robot overlords on the blockchain; the next, it's an ICO that's "revolutionizing supply chains with NFTs."

Of course, this isn't all doom and gloom for us blockchain practitioners. It highlights a killer crossover: Crypto's liquidity and risk appetite could supercharge real-world tech like robotics. Imagine meme token holders funding the next Boston Dynamics rival, only for it to pivot into Web3-integrated drones. But Chang's warning is clear—do your DD (due diligence, folks). Not every shiny robot arm is built to last; some are just exit ramps for founders looking to flip.

If you're knee-deep in meme tokens or eyeing that robotics play, this clip is your wake-up call. Head over to CounterParty TV's post to watch the full roast—it's under 70 seconds of pure, unfiltered wisdom. And hey, if Chang's right, maybe it's time to ask: Are you the liquidity... or the one providing it?
