In fact, the empowerment of humanity is being done by both Crypto and AI, but the ways and depths of empowerment are completely different. Take a closer look:

1) Crypto empowerment emphasizes the so-called "decentralized financial sovereignty," allowing individuals to manage their assets for value exchange without relying on traditional centralized institutions like banks. This form of empowerment is "defensive," meaning that while there may be better options, the essence of decentralized empowerment ensures that the Crypto industry will never be disproven.

2) AI empowerment, on the other hand, focuses on the "exponential amplification of productivity," enabling people to accomplish tasks that were previously impossible. This is why internet giants continue to invest capital expansively, driving the growth of AI concept stocks. This form of empowerment is "offensive," indicating that the growth of the AI industry has already followed a trajectory similar to a "Moore's Law" growth curve, known as the Scaling Law.

This law tells us that the growth of AI capabilities is predictable, sustainable, and exponential. We can foresee the arms race in computing power, the algorithm revolution, and the widespread adoption of Agent applications as part of the foreseeable future.

However, Crypto is different. The growth logic of Crypto has shifted from regulatory arbitrage of capital to orderly penetration under regulatory recognition. Therefore, in terms of "barbaric" growth, the growth rate of Crypto is indeed not as fast as that of AI, as many perceive.

This does not mean that Crypto lacks value; rather, its speed of value realization cannot keep pace with the speed at which AI is changing the world.

Thus, Crypto must make a choice: either actively embrace AI and become the foundational infrastructure of the AI Economy, or gradually narrow its expectations to become a niche speculative financial market, completely detached from "value."

Therefore, directions like the x402 protocol, AI Agent payments, and on-chain AI economy are narratives of Crypto actively embracing AI. Although this process will be slow, as AI generates massive demands for payments and automated trading, it will enable Crypto to keep up with the scaled growth of the AI industry and subsequently enjoy the dividends of AI industry growth.

The time window is also clear. If we consider 2027 as the timeline for the emergence of AGI, Crypto must complete a wave of protocol positioning and layout before then.

Stop being obsessed with "Crypto for humans," lost in these pirate party philosophies, clinging to the lifeline of AI industry growth, hoping to get a share when the AI economy explodes. That alone would be considered a success.
