I remember last year it was around this time that the AI Agent concept in the crypto world gained some traction, with several coins appearing, like Ai16Z and the like, which within less than a month surged to a market value of several hundred million to over a billion. Soon after, DeepSeek burst onto the scene, and these coins crashed, and then there was nothing more to follow.
This year, OpenClew has once again become a sensation, and AI Agents seem to have finally shown some glimmer of real-world application. However, the market has become as cold as ever due to the harvesting by Trump, and people in the crypto sphere have completely given up on treatment, no longer riding the wave to issue coins but have all jumped into the AI sector, plunging into the embrace of Vibe Coding.
Of course, they also brought over the Web3 style, rushing to form groups and hold conferences everywhere before even doing anything substantial, feeling that if they don’t join soon, they’ll be left behind by the times. Certainly, compared to hyping various revenue-less air projects, this is some progress, as the Tokens consumed are real cash.
However, the outcome is likely to be similar to the previous Web3 experience, where after the hype, it all turns to chaos. The so-called 'wave that changes the world' turns out to be rather useless, ultimately contributing funds to various exchanges and large model vendors, while also supporting a group of people reselling mining machines/Mac Minis.
Of course, to say there is absolutely no value would not be objective. Besides appearing to grasp the pulse of the times and packaging online personas for traffic monetization, there’s also the chance to connect with a few like-minded individuals from Web3 who are re-entering the job market, mutually encouraging each other to alleviate anxiety. Who knows, there might be an opportunity in the future to pull off a big move (cannon).
