While, yes, it's overhyped and takes up too much of the spotlight, it isn't going anywhere and is going to continue to be a staple in our lives moving forward, and will continue to increase in impact as it improves.
Blockchain will always be blockchain, and it was absolutely a bubble. Will it improve? Sure. Will it ever be as impactful to the everyday individual as AI? Maybe, but most people will not know or care. It will mostly be a passive experience.
AI will/has fundamentally changed how we work in the matter of 3 years. So, financial system jumping on board this, is much safer than jumping onboard crypto hype trains.
(I'm not saying crypto is bad / is a bad investment, but lots of crypto and ai startups are both trash, well, most startups are trash, I say that as a founder who has had many trash ideas)
