We've been speculating on almost everything since we started understanding this world, whether it was about how many marks you would get in school exam, what your crush thinks about you, or what the future price of a stock or crypto you find interesting could be.

Speculation is a natural phenomenon that arises from curiosity, the desire for control, and the pursuit of rewards. When you speculate, you always think about the brighter side, and through that imagination of the favorable reward, you start feeling good; your mind gets a

Dopamine is the drug your mind needs all the time. It can distract you from facts and real information, sometimes even dragging you down paths where the result of speculation might lead to a loss. But you will still walk, and walk again, as long as you don't get that dopamine

Humans have been speculating for centuries, and they will keep doing that — mainly on science, tech, and culture. 99% of the people on Earth speculated on culture — they created stories, myths, god figures, languages, norms, and many other things.

In India, we got millions of different kinds of gods born out of human speculation. When humans created gods, they speculated on a higher being that would protect them, and they found ultimate joy surrendering to that figure. They experienced a dopamine surge during the

When some of the smart people started speculating on science and tech, we started writing theories, doing patents, and building solutions. We had great scientific and technological advancements in those past decades.

Most of the ideas born out of speculation tend to die in a short time, but they also build a foundation of theoretical progress. They create a large pool of knowledge that leads to positive outcomes.

When you speculate, you always back your speculation with something you feel comfortable with — it could be an intuition, data, fact, or just an assumption. The outcome of your speculation will also depend on how much effort you put into building a knowledge base around it.

Now, what changed in the last decade is that we got crypto, which actually brings monetization into speculation. You could simply monetize your speculation by investing in and trading a crypto token.

You get crypto tokens in science, culture, and tech. If you are someone who is closely tracking AI and you speculate on it too, now you could buy a crypto token in an AI project, and you could potentially make money. That's AI agents for you.

If you are someone who is a cultural freak, who loves to track memes, music, art, and content, then you could simply invest in NFTs, memes, IP coins, and creator coins to make money by simply doing what you were doing before — speculation.

If you are someone who just loves science and regularly tracks scientific progress, then you get a chance to speculate on DeSci coins by investing in them very early and potentially make money too.

Crypto tokens are simply reinforcing speculative behavior by introducing the money aspect to it. Now, because people are naturally aligned to speculation and making money, and since we're living in an era where most of us simply practice instant gratification, you can't really

Speculation through crypto tokens will blow up more and more. It's still a secret for IRL, but the day we get super easy interfaces to onboard normies to on-chain, they're gonna get involved in this speculative mania like we all did.

Now, on the humanity side, is it a good development to allow people to put money into speculation permissionlessly? Even if you stop, they're gonna do it anyway. It's really hard to transform people; it's really hard to convince them that they should not speculate because it's

They are trapped by their mind, and their minds will push them to extreme degenerate paths, where most of them will start having the highest amount of optimism around success but will eventually end up becoming gamblers with debts on their head, suffering from extreme mental

Wealth equality gaps would potentially increase as a result of speculative financial activities, and some of those who have better tools and resources are gonna end up becoming wealthier, like it's always happened. Now, you would see that happening with 10x more speed.

In conclusion, Crypto tokens are largely being created to speculate on science, tech, and culture. Some of the tokens will find utility in enabling people to speculate better by providing more data and facts.

You can't stop people from speculating. It's the demand from the mind that they can't really avoid. The best you could do is learn to speculate better and make money by entering early into speculative narratives.
