Next door in the AI realm, tech giants are showing their skills—while some are busy upgrading training models, others are fully committed to autonomous driving, and some are focused on exploring the performance limits of GPUs and TPUs. As everyone races ahead, the entire ecosystem is booming.

Meanwhile, in the cryptocurrency space, what are the leading projects doing? Copying and pasting proven business models, reusing the same money-making tricks. Innovation? What's that.

Honestly, the gap is enormous. On one side is relentless innovation pushing boundaries, and on the other side is sticking to the golden eggs without making progress. If you talk about the industry's conservativeness, it’s truly daring to be the last.

Oh wow, that really hits close to home... Honestly, Bitcoin is steadily progressing here, while the AI next door has already soared to the sky. Copy-paste methods are indeed boring. When will we see some new tricks?

Oh, come on, I have to stand up and defend this. AI is indeed competitive, but you guys can't see the arbitrage opportunities on our chain, brother. The real innovation is in the combined strategies for annualized returns, it's just not on the surface. --- Copy and paste? Please, that's called a validated business model, that's wisdom. I've been through the pitfalls since 2017. Now, steady returns are the way to go. You're still dreaming of the next hundredfold coin. --- Conservative? Ha, I use conservatism as a weapon. Look at those overly innovative projects—where are they now? The true test is at the liquidation price, my friend. --- Technological competition is one thing, but ask those involved in AI if they can survive the bear market as comfortably as I do. The annualized returns from arbitrage on the chain won't deceive. --- Don't look down on those sitting on golden eggs. These days, just staying alive without losing money is already a win. Always analyze on-chain data carefully before going long or short—that's what I call initiative.

Oh no, that was a bit harsh, but it really hit the point. In crypto, they play the game of making money from money, but where are the real technological breakthroughs? No sign of them. --- AI is taking off, while we are still stuck in copying and pasting, the gap is really… never mind, I won't say more. --- Compared to AI's intense competition, crypto project teams are really good at "borrowing" ideas, all looking the same. --- One is working on breakthroughs, the other on arbitrage; they are truly people from two different worlds. --- Oh my, it seems like our circle just copies everything; truly few projects have real ideas. --- I have to say, this critique is a bit harsh, but it's not entirely nonsense; conservatism is indeed a common problem. --- AI is competing over performance, crypto is competing over who can attract more retail investors; the scale is way different. --- The copy-paste "innovation" has been seen enough; when will we see something truly new?
