"Crypto is mid compared to AI" For sake of argument, round everything else to zero. (I don't believe that, personally.) In less than 16 years: 1. Created digital gold with $1.9 trillion in market cap 2. Created a Turing complete decentralized censorship-resitant global computer that is steadily scaling it's throughput with $400 billion market cap. AI has been around since the 1960s and gone through multiple boom / overhyped cycles. ChatGPT is 60 years of compounding.

just realized this would make a really interesting debate if people had it in good faith. I can see arguments that intelligence in absolute value is >>> economy, or rather it's upstream of it. I also think the points you make are true, and crypto is very fast in it's time to value. Cryptography, leading to cryptocurrencies, also started by Turing around the same time! Arguably also benefits from compounding advances there.

That, plus: AI has every possible tailwind (easiest demo on the planet, every establishment wants to use it and control it, ostensibly infinite upside). Crypto has mostly headwinds (one of the hardest demos, extremely hostile ecosystem, anti-establishment/control).

Yup - it's critical to highlight the part of the story that crypto was never in the plans while AI has always been a part of the plan It's kind of ridiculous to PvP-compare the two

People with such a take learned about AI when ChatGPT was released and think LLMs are the only “real AI”

the fact bitcoin has been running 24/7, completely unregulated for 16 years and is worth 2T is nothing short of a miracle and the fact that people are now able to participate in a global trustless financial system as easily as creating an email just blows my mind

is there good data on how much $ has been invested in crypto pre-bitcoin and AI before the last few years? crypto strikes me as pretty wild/singular bc it seems that so much of the "investment" capital is just making the thing and it working... not even VC (though obviously there has been a lot of VC money put in since BTC)

the novelty of ai's current iteration makes it seem way more impressive than it really is (not saying it's not impressive, it's just overhyped). it's immediately understandable to mainstream users and it's being stapled onto every known service we all use. technologists understand it's stark limitations tho

AI’s 60-year history hasn’t yet reached its “real-world” tipping point, while crypto has already revolutionized finance. Sure, AI has made leaps, but when it comes to mainstream, tangible impact, crypto has created entire ecosystems around decentralized finance, digital assets, and smart contracts. AI is still catching up in terms of building something as universally accessible and transformative.
