Okay, I wrote a piece yesterday. If I’ve published this one today, that makes it "three in a row." And if I write again tomorrow, well, that’s officially a "writing streak." It has happened before!

Here are 10 predictions for 2025:

Nostalgia hardware will outperform AI hardware. I’d much rather live in a world where my kids are playing with ModRetro Chromatics than with any of the buzzy AI hardware products that have taken over Tech Twitter. That future will happen.

Pixie Chess will be the hottest consumer crypto company of 2025. FriendTech, Polymarket, (shameless CTG plug), Pixie Chess. If you follow me (or read my Articles), you know I love Josh and the Pixie Chess team. It’s a Paradigm-backed game/protocol where players bid on crypto chess pieces with magical powers, add them to their decks, and use them in tournaments funded by chess piece purchases. I’ve previewed it, and it’s so much fun.

Live streaming won’t go away for crypto trading. We saw the rise and temporary fall of Pump’s decentralized token live-streaming product. I think someone (maybe Pump) will launch a more centralized (and thus regulated) crypto trading show. Think HQ Trivia meets Mad Money: a host discusses tokens you can trade live by tapping the stream.

Trump won’t be the savior of crypto. At least not in the way he’s expected to be in 2025. There will be so many policies requiring his immediate attention that his impact on the industry will be overblown.

A new consumer social app with staying power will launch. Unlike HQ, BeReal, or Clubhouse, this one will actually stick, eventually pulling people away from Instagram, much like we moved on from Facebook. Meta will acquire it.

Jean Nipon will take the art world by storm. The Paris-based artist’s colored pencil Renaissance-esque works will take the art world by storm, leading to a breakout year for both him and C L E A R I N G. His first New York solo show with the gallery in September will be the talk of Armory Week.

Kasmin will make waves with emerging artists. Known for its blue-chip roster of artists like Jackson Pollock and Robert Motherwell, the gallery will instead make waves with emerging artists in 2025. I’m betting that exhibitions by Sara Anstis and Alexis Ralaivao will be among their most talked-about shows, propelling these young artists into the mainstream.

Industry will win Best Drama at the Emmys. This is a wild one because, outside of our niche Tech Twitter bubble, it’s relatively unknown. This also means that HBO will campaign for it the hardest, which is a bet that almost all 2025 HBO shows (House of the Dragon, The Last of Us, etc.) will flop. I just loved Industry S3 so much and think the Academy did too.

The Untitled Rachel Sennott Series will win Best Comedy. I haven’t even seen a trailer (and it doesn’t even have a title), but I’m betting on 2025 to be the year of Rachel Sennott. Come on, it's LA!

The Mets will win the World Series. I’ve made this prediction every year since the ’90s. It’s bound to happen eventually, right? Right?

That’s it. If you agreed (or disagreed) with any of these, let me know on Twitter (@dylanabruscato). Maybe I’ll be back tomorrow.
