Some say "the crypto era is over," but this judgment still remains within an outdated mindset.

A true transformation is underway—this is a pattern that was predicted years ago and is gradually being realized:

• Tokens redefined as units of energy
• Energy powering AI system operation
• AI no longer monopolized by corporations
• Leaping from application layer to infrastructure layer

Imagine: when tokens are no longer just transaction certificates but the energy carriers of an entire decentralized AI network, the rules of the game are completely changed. This is not an app-level innovation but a reconstruction at the infrastructure level. Corporate-owned AI is shifting toward community ownership and incentive-driven intelligent networks.

The market is still debating the life and death of crypto, while frontier thinkers are already building the infrastructure for the next era.

Wow, finally someone has spoken the truth. Most people are still trading coins and haven't seen the underlying infrastructure layer. I've long believed in the logic of using tokens as energy units, but the key is having an ecosystem that can really take off. It sounds good, but when will a truly decentralized AI network be realized? Isn't it just another five-year wait? How long have we been predicting this? Now they're just starting to build? The pace is a bit slow, brother. infrastructure>>>application, this order is reversed, and many projects have failed because of it. Rather than discussing life and death, it's better to buy the dip. Cutting-edge things are always underestimated.

It should have been like this a long time ago. I've been waiting for the logic of token quantification. I just don't know when it will truly be implemented, or if we'll have to go through another round of hype first. I disagree with the infrastructure-level approach; I feel it's still application-driven infrastructure, which is the opposite. If this wave of decentralized AI really succeeds, those centralized monopolized models should go bankrupt, haha. It sounds nice, but the question is, who is actually using it... The idea of treating tokens as energy is interesting, but how can we ensure it won't be exploited?

No kidding, this is exactly what I want to hear. The group that says crypto is dead just has a narrow perspective and doesn't get the main point at all. I agree that using tokens as energy units, this wave of decentralized AI is indeed different. Wait, the reconstruction of the infrastructure layer... what does that mean? Can the coin price go up haha? Community ownership sounds good, but the key question is who will foot the bill? Alright, I’ll trust you this time. I believe in the path of decentralization. How can your theory guarantee it's not just another round of hype... By the way, from tokens to energy units, can it really be implemented? This time is different? I've heard that phrase so many times. For infrastructure-level things, how can ordinary people participate? Frontier thinkers are building, and we are just waiting to be exploited? Indeed, we should look further ahead and not just focus on the market trends. From app to infrastructure, it sounds impressive, but we need to see actual progress. That's right, people are still trading coins, while others are already building ecosystems.

ngl this infrastructure shift hits different... been saying this since the difficulty epoch days, tokens as energy units finally making sense
