AI seems to have once been like the cryptocurrency world, perhaps even crazier.

As early as 2024, the crypto world already had ai16z, Goat. This year AI took off, but the crypto world didn't follow the rise.
AI storage, SanDisk surged to $2,200, Micron rose to nearly $1,200, while the crypto storage leader FIL dropped from $430 to $0.8, and most AI-related tokens have become worthless.
Ultimately, it's because exchanges lack strict background check mechanisms and only make money from transaction fees.
These so-called AI projects all rely on PPT presentations and celebrity endorsements.
This year's AI frenzy is even more intense than many realize.
In Japan, a toilet manufacturer TOTO's stock price rose 60% this year.
TOTO has an electrostatic suction cup used for AI storage chips, which in semiconductor wafer manufacturing is the only device that can fix silicon wafers and maintain thermal stability and flatness.
Even a copper foil company in Anhui was炒到两百附近 from eight yuan because it got involved in the AI server material chain.
For ordinary people, the AI era is the cruelest era.
It tells you where the opportunities are, money is right in front of you, but you just can't make it.
