One thing worth noting about AI's potential upside—it actually democratizes access to complex work. Think about it: previously, pulling off intricate tasks required years of specialized training. Now, AI tools are breaking down those barriers, letting people jump into sophisticated roles and responsibilities without hitting the same steep learning curve. It's not just about automation; it's about capability amplification. Whether you're in crypto, trading, smart contract development, or technical analysis, AI is leveling the playing field. The real win here is that more people can participate meaningfully in domains that used to feel exclusive or gatekept.

That's correct, but I'm more concerned about how long this wave of benefits can last. Once the real big players start using AI, can newcomers still compete?

ngl This is exactly what I've been wanting to say: AI has really broken down the barriers of elite monopoly. Honestly, in the past, doing on-chain analysis and smart contract auditing required two or three years of experience to even get in the door. Now, with tools, you can jump right in. This is true democratization. Wait, could it actually lead to market saturation? More experts are also emerging. Geniuses are those who can use tools while maintaining independent thinking; the rest are probably just mass-produced workers. Damn, I might need to speed up my learning process too.

Nah fr, this is exactly what I've been saying: breaking the information monopoly is the real revolution.

Oh, another story of democratization... Looking at the technical side, the MACD hasn't had a golden cross yet.

ngl isn't this just lowering the threshold, but also lowering the quality... --- Really, why does it feel like everywhere are "developers" writing code with AI? --- Forget it, anyway we all have to compete with AI in the future, better to adapt early --- The top players have gained another tool, ordinary people are still being squeezed --- This kind of rhetoric sounds great, but I feel it actually intensifies the internal competition... --- The democratization of AI sounds good, but in reality it just shifts the threshold from high to who can use it more skillfully --- Wait, does this mean that anyone can become a trader in the future? The market would be so chaotic --- I don't know when it started, but now everything can be packaged as "democratized" --- In crypto, it's true, jobs that used to require coding skills can now be done by anyone --- It's called empowerment in a nice way, but in a harsh way, it just makes low-end jobs more competitive

Wow, this is what AI should be doing—truly breaking down information barriers.

It's easy to say that the threshold has been lowered, but the actual logic of making money hasn't changed. AI tools have lowered the barrier to entry, but competition remains fierce. Just look at how many "AI traders" there are in the crypto world now—most are still just retail investors.

nah but this is where it gets tricky tho... democratization sounds nice on paper, but what happens when everyone's running the same AI models? the yield farming becomes a tragedy of the commons real quick. fewer alpha opportunities, higher slippage, protocol inefficiency cascading through liquidity pools. the gatekeeping wasn't always bad—it maintained some equilibrium, y'know?
