"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.

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
