US now controls Venezuela's oil.

Venezuela currently holds 303 billion barrels of oil reserves (the world's largest).

Oil prices are trading at $57 per barrel, putting the total value of Venezuela's reserves at approximately $17.3 trillion.

In 12 hours, the US gained control of oil reserves worth more than the GDP of every country in the world except the US and China. The figure the US has gained is four times greater than Japan's GDP.

The world and the global economy have changed. Oil will react to these events for the first time on Sunday at 6:00 PM ET (Monday, 2:00 UTC+3).

So, March 22. The main news of the week — the war for AI payments. Visa released a CLI for agents. Coinbase is pushing x402. Stripe launched Tempo. And Trump has AgentPay SDK with USD1. Everyone wants to be a bank for robots.

Brian Armstrong said: "AI agents are the current users of crypto." 49,000 agent wallets. No passport. No selfie. No KYC. A dream.

CZ added: "Agents will make a million times more payments than people." Considering people already make millions of payments — that's roughly infinity. Visa prepares servers. And psychologists for their servers.

Galaxy Research predicts x402 will take 30% of Base transactions this year. 30%. It's like every third person on the bus is a robot. Though in the morning subway, it's impossible to tell.

Meanwhile — DeFAI rotation. Money flows from GPU infrastructure into the application layer. FET +35% per week. The narrative shifted from means of production to relations of production. Marx would be proud. Or horrified. Or both.

ERC-8183. Virtuals + Ethereum Foundation. Standard for agent payments. $479M agent GDP on Base. 23,500 active wallets. Agents already have their own economy. Their own GDP. Soon — their own central bank. And their own sanctions.

TAO. 72 billion parameters. Trained on a decentralized GPU network. Short squeeze +40%. Decentralized AI works. Who would have thought. Well, except everyone who invested.

Total: Visa makes CLI. Coinbase makes a protocol. Trump makes an SDK. Agents make payments. And we pretend to understand what's going on.

Total sector — $9.2B. Mood: cautious optimism. Or as they call it in crypto — time to accumulate and pray.

As Armstrong said: "AI agents can't open a bank account, but they can own a crypto wallet." Well. People can't always open a bank account either. Welcome to the club.

That's it. Go to work. Before an agent takes your job.

Gold, silver and platinum dropped 10% as the dollar strengthened. People who bought gold "just in case the world ends" are now watching the world end and gold fall at the same time. Multitasking.

Trump pauses Iran strikes for 5 days, citing "very good and productive conversations."

Spent $27 billion, launched 1,000+ strikes, crashed the S&P to a 6-month low, pushed the Fear Index to 8, sent oil to $112 — and wrote "very good and productive conversations, WITCH will continue." Three typos. In all caps. At midnight. Signed off with "THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER" — like a complaint to building management about a leak. Except the leak is the Strait of Hormuz.

🛢 Russia's Finance Minister Siluanov says the government will "shortly" decide on steps to reduce budget dependency on oil prices. Translation: they've been meaning to do this since 2014.

🔥 BitMine (Tom Lee's Fundstrat) bought another 65,341 ETH last week. Now holds 4.66M ETH — 3.86% of total supply. One company owns almost 4% of Ethereum. Let that sink in.

🇺🇸 Trump has an event underway. He may say something about Iran again.

🔥🇮🇷🇺🇸 Trump:

We have decimated Iran with fury

The US and Iran held productive talks

This time Iran is truly ready for a deal

I hope we will conclude this

We will not allow Iran to obtain nuclear weapons

We've destroyed everything in Iran

I've decided to suspend strikes on the energy sector

We destroyed, we destroyed, we destroyed

Iran has another opportunity to end its threats to America and its European allies

The stocks are great - DOW 50,000, SP500 7,000, but then Iran showed up

We've started really good negotiations now

We're giving them 5 days

We hope everything works out

Biden is a jerk

Democrats are jerks

⚠️🇮🇷 Iran has no intention of returning to a "pre-war" format of negotiations with the US

Reports of ongoing talks between the US and Iran do not reflect reality.

— Rasouli, adviser to the Speaker of the Iranian Parliament on political affairs, to Al-Mayadeen

The question of closing the Strait of Hormuz and mining it remains open pending any reckless actions by the US. Trump has no authority to set conditions or deadlines for negotiations. — Al Jazeera, citing a senior Iranian official
