The major difference between the 2 is how they're being adopted by customers and the tangible value they return.

AI/ML barrier to entry is far simpler and vastly user friendly compared to crypto. Instant value return or gratification from ML products (GTPs and rest) is far more mainstream friendly.

Another view is the "loss" factor. Nobody, thus far, has has had their funds stolen or lost using ML products. I understand content creators and those who, unwillingly, contributed knowledge to learning systems did get circumvented but i'm talking about users/customers. Compare that to the negative stigma of crypto frauds and stereotypical association to illegal transactions.

Apples vs. rotten oranges in my opinion!

Exactly. People, average everyday people, are using and getting value out of AI right now. Are we to ignore that?

The ability to transact with people that card processors do not like. The ability to self custody.

The ability to self-custody is not something average, every day people need.

That is like saying insurance is not in not something average, every day people need. If the rare event doesn't happen to you then yes it is a waste of money, but if it does you will be thankful to have it.

The same thing can be said about having bulletproof cars, wearing a helmet anytime when you are outside, carrying a lifejacket with you all the time. Those are things that cater to specific threat models. And those are not the threat models of average, every day people.

Average people address it by having cash. If you want digital cash crypto is your best option.
