The trail doesn’t exactly counter it if there was a lot of consumer use and then it died.

Maybe I am wrong, but it seemed like there were a lot of people talking about it and in it (same with NFT) and then it plummeted.

That’s why I kinda felt like AI is the same. The bubble is going to pop as we hit limitations on what this can actually do.

But I will also admit that some of this could be living within a tech bubble.

Talking and using aren’t the same thing. Did you ever see people using one of the crypto ATMs or buying anything with a crypto credit card? Especially outside of the Bay Area? If not then it’s likely a marketing expense / stunt, just the same as the commercials starring Tom Brady or Larry David. Create the perception that crypto is mainstream, and people will want to jump onboard just because of FOMO.

What you saw was probably some light astroturfing, backed by wave after wave of non-tech celebrity sponsors, and a pump-n-dump shill bidding scheme.
