MORPHEUS AI JUST CHANGED EVERYTHING: Why Bitcoin & Stablecoin Holders Should Pay Attention (Episode 22)
AI TOKENS SURGE 11% IN SEPTEMBER: Why Morpheus Could Be The Next 10x
In episode 22, we're joined by David Johnston (@DJohnstonEC), creator of the framework for "Dapps" in 2013 & "Smart Agents" in 2023, to break down the MASSIVE Morpheus Capital Contract V2 launch. This isn't just another protocol update - this could reshape how $2 TRILLION in Bitcoin and stablecoin markets interact with decentralized AI.
THE GAME JUST CHANGED: Morpheus has expanded beyond Ethereum staking to integrate with Aave, unlocking Bitcoin, USDC, and Tether holders to earn AI tokens while keeping their preferred assets. We're talking 4-11% APY on stablecoins PLUS Morpheus token rewards - all while taking ZERO principal risk.
π₯ WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER:
β
Why this integration opens Morpheus to $2T+ in new capital (vs $400B ETH market)
β
How to earn 11% APY on Tether while accumulating AI tokens
β
The "Magic Internet Money" DeFi strategies now possible with V2
β
Why Korean traders are pumping AI tokens 120% this month
β
David's take on the upcoming conference circuit and what's next for DeAI
This timing couldn't be better - AI tokens are outperforming everything in September 2025, and DeFAI is projected to explode from $1B to $10B by year-end. Meanwhile, you're earning 0% in your bank account.
π― THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE: The Morpheus Portfolio Experiment
