​From SocialFi to Agentic AI: Building Kinship Systems, MMOSH, and a Social Wallet That Actually Understands Kinship

​The SocialFi era promised on-chain relationships and community-owned platforms, then mostly faded.

​This episode picks up that thread with someone who was in it from the start founding Kinship Systems and MMOSH and traces what's actually carried over into building an agentic AI social wallet today.

​Participants

• ​Jeremy White – Host (Now Media)

• ​David Levine – Founder, Kinship Systems / MMOSH (@motocoaster)

​About the guest

​David "Moto" Levine is the founder of Kinship Systems and describes himself as "magical mapshifter" at MMOSH, building from West Virginia as a self-described Silicon Hillbilly.

​He also works as a senior systems engineer at Nightwing supporting DHS/CISA, focused on censorship-resistant technologies that preserve privacy and public trust.

​His background spans on-chain SocialFi projects, tech entrepreneurship, and a pointedly skeptical view of startup culture, and he's currently building toward an agentic AI social wallet.

​Topics of discussion

​Founding Kinship Systems and MMOSH
What were Kinship Systems and MMOSH actually trying to build during the SocialFi era, and what did Moto learn from that run?

​What carried over into the agentic AI social wallet
Of everything from that earlier SocialFi work, what's directly informing how Moto is approaching an agentic AI social wallet now?

​Censorship-resistant tech and public trust
How does his work in systems engineering around censorship-resistant technology shape his thinking about privacy and trust in consumer crypto products?

​Who this episode is for

​Builders and veterans of the SocialFi era curious how those lessons apply to agentic AI today.

​People interested in the intersection of privacy-preserving systems engineering and consumer crypto products.

​Anyone skeptical of standard startup narratives looking for a grounded, experience-based perspective.
