#DeGPT Let’s start with the uncomfortable truth:
Yes, many people lost money. Yes, the risk is high right now. Without a fully implemented HTTP 402 (Payment Required), real monetization simply doesn’t exist. No pay-per-use, no micropayments, no real token economy. If 402 doesn’t ship, DeGPT stays unfinished and markets are ruthless about that.
But this is also where things can turn!
If 402 is delivered, the story changes fast:
- Every request creates real value
- Token burns become a real mechanism
- Usage starts to matter more than hype
A few thousand users won’t move anything.
DeGPT needs 50k–100k+ active users to reach real volume and demand.
Looking toward 2026:
AI and LLMs won’t be optional. They’ll be basic infrastructure, especially outside the Western world. Western markets are crowded, expensive, and heavily regulated. Meanwhile, millions of people still have no access at all. That’s the emotional core of this bet: opening AI to those who are currently locked out.
The risk is real. The pain is real.
But that’s exactly why this isn’t boring.
If 402 ships and adoption follows, this isn’t just another token. It’s infrastructure in the making.
The biggest returns never come when everything feels safe. They come when conviction meets execution — before the crowd arrives.
