Here are ten things I think will happen in 2026: 1/ Gemini passes ChatGPT in terms of DAUs, MAUs, and tokens consumed in the first half of 2026, making Google the king of AI. 2/ The Democrats take control of the House in the Nov 2026 elections, bringing to an end Trump's complete control of the US government. 3/ Smartglasses finally reach product market fit in 2026, but it won't be Meta that delivers the winning approach. 4/ A majority of venture capital deals close without lawyers on either side due to standardized documents (like the NVCA ones) and AI tools for review and legal diligence. 5/ A drunk driver using full self-driving legally challenges a DUI charge and wins. 6/ The SpaceX IPO, the largest ever, marks the market top, and we are in a bear market by year's end. 7/ Despite the loss of tax incentives, EVs and solar adoption significantly inflects in the US, reflecting better economics and utility for consumers and businesses. 8/ Blockchains disappear behind better consumer interfaces that allow users to use, spend, trade, and send tokens without concerning themselves with which blockchain they are on. 9/ An AI-generated song is nominated for Song of the Year in the 2027 Grammy nominations. 10/ The $AVC writer coin 10x its holder base which reaches 10,000 by year end. Happy New Year everyone. I hope 2026 is a fantastic year.
