Every day we are doing so much on the internet—especially in the crypto world, which token we are searching on Binance, which pattern we are seeing on the chart, or what kind of transactions we are doing on-chain; along with this, scrolling on Facebook-YouTube, searching on Google, or uploading pictures—everything is being tracked somewhere or the other.
And the most interesting thing is, this crypto trading behavior of ours and everyday small activities are accumulating to become the main fuel for AI over time.
I mean, these AIs did not just become this smart out of nowhere 😅 Behind this is the everyday genuine data of millions of people like us. Today's AI systems have been made this powerful by feeding them our crypto market analysis, trading patterns, text, and online behavior.
But right here, a doubt arises...
This huge value that is being created, who is getting the ultimate profit from it at the end of the day?
Technically speaking, we everyday users and traders are making the data. But big tech giants are taking that data for free and making huge AI models. Then, using that AI, they are setting up billion-dollar businesses.
Simply put, the major part of value creation is coming from our hard work and everyday market activity, yet we everyday people are getting absolutely nothing at the end of the day! We have no place in the whole ecosystem.
Before, we used to think we were just a 'user' of some exchange or the internet. But now it feels like we have unknowingly become unpaid laborers of a huge 'AI economy'!
And to be honest, in the coming days, this "who owns the data"—is going to become a very big issue in the crypto and tech world.
Because as AI grows, they will have to feed on more precise and quality data for their trading algorithms or prediction models. Then the fight will not just be about "which AI is how smart". The real questions will rise—
👉 Where is this data coming from?
👉 Whose data is being used to run this system?
👉 And how is the share of profit coming from that data being given to the real owner?
Exactly for this reason, projects like OpenLedger feel quite interesting to me nowadays. Because they are not shouting like everyone else in the market just about "our AI can do this, can do that". They are focusing on this real data economy or data business behind AI, which is directly connected with crypto.
And in this whole narrative, the $OPEN token fits exactly there—where the data given by you or me will not just remain as information, but can hold its own financial value as a digital asset.
At the end of the day, what I think is, in the future AI will no longer remain just a general discussion of technology. It will become a big stage for crypto, ownership, and into whose pocket the profit money is going—that calculation
