1. Users will prefer to make money rather than give it to middle men if it’s possible. There’s no doubt about that. Whether crypto succeeds is a bet on a complex matrix of things, including culture, politics, and geopolitics. And the bet is not only whether this can happen but how long it takes. I’d say 50% chance this is a major force within 10 years 2. A super rare credential can help prove competence in a short time. Ie, getting accepted to Harvard means that someone looked at all your accomplishments in school and said “these are 1 out of 10,000 level awesome”. That’s helpful to a hirer. But not at all necessary. The thing you want to show even more is *what you made happen*. What’s something you built that people used? What are some results you got in anything you did? Specifics. 3. There’s no right answer. I do not think it can be a bad decision to do AI. It’s more certain to be a part of our future than crypto. However, if you have more passion for or talent in crypto, do it!
