"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.

bitcoin is 15 years old

ecash is 41 years old

the cypherpunk mailing list is 32

transformers are 7 years old 

turing asked 74 years ago if machines could think

alright but tbf most ai never broke out of academic circles until the gpt craze. in 2019 people said agi was a joke, now the chat bot is smarter than their parent and crypto is set on having created autonomous ceos/friends

anyway it’s clear crypto ai are joined at the hip

The pertinent point is how long has it had significant capital invested in it.
