The current state of web3 is extremely distorted, diamond hands are being mocked, and daily traders are being praised to the skies. If you build on blockchain, you’ll be accused of fraud, while garbage agent tokens that are casually coded are being elevated to the heavens. Think back to when Facebook had to change its name to Meta, and a bunch of web2 people rushed to buy NFTs. Even when it comes to the market, back then, many who didn’t understand the crypto space were eager to ask how to participate in sneaker drops. Now, it’s a different story; diamond hands are being heavily criticized, as if being a farmer is a given. A bunch of developers who popped up from nowhere are talking about AI and vibe coding, each one poorer than the last. There are also many people supporting these garbage AI agent projects. In short, there are almost no technically skilled and poor developers in blockchain. So I always assume that a poor project team must have poor technology and won’t go far. A friend said he has lost faith in the crypto AI agent scene. I never flattered these so-called AI agent project teams from the start; they are all trash. Those with real potential don’t issue tokens and are just waiting for web2 funding to pour in. This is indeed a deadlock; we can only hope for a dev to drop from the sky, someone like Vitalik from back in the day, to bridge blockchain and AI agents (8004 and x402 are really quite good). When it comes to AI infrastructure and AI innovation, don’t expect web3 to produce anything significant; do you really think the people in Silicon Valley are just playing house? The talent pool in web3 compared to web2 is like a child with a toy versus a fully armed special forces soldier in a 1v1 match, and it’s like letting the special forces soldier take the first 100 turns; it’s purely self-inflicted suffering.
