The truth behind the AI boom: How big is the risk of a bubble burst?

Abstract generation in progress

【Crypto World】The AI boom is sweeping the globe, but how much illusion is hidden behind the prosperity? Funds are continuously flowing among a few participants who are not yet profitable. How long can this model last?

Once this bubble bursts, the shockwave could be far beyond expectations. Historically, each technological cycle’s bubble burst has triggered chain reactions—market liquidity dries up, financing channels close, and projects are liquidated en masse. This is no small blow to the entire ecosystem.

Perhaps now is the time to reflect: Are those soaring expectations built on a solid foundation? Is the flow of funds directed toward truly value-creating areas? Or are they just betting on the emergence of the next bagholder?

I've been saying it all along, this round of AI hype is just hot potato, and those who buy in now are the bagholders. Wait a minute, do you really believe the valuations of those unprofitable projects? Wake up. At the end of the day, it's still a game of capital; the technological value is only a fraction of the truth. History always repeats itself. The ICO of 2018 is now called AI + Web3. Don't ask me when it will explode; just be prepared to cut your losses. On the day the bubble bursts, there won't be many who survive on the list.

Here we go again with this set? Every time they talk about bubbles, bubbles, but those who should make money still make money. History repeats itself but is never exactly the same. AI this round is truly different. Reading this kind of article late at night makes me more pessimistic; I’ll see when I wake up. There will always be bagholders; the question is whether you are the smart one. Sounds nice, but aren’t we still gambling? We’re all gambling. I don’t care where the funds are flowing; anyway, mine is on the rise. Every time there’s a sharp drop, someone writes articles like this, and then there’s nothing afterward. Bubbles are discussed every year, but the crypto world is still alive. Instead of worrying about bubbles, it’s better to worry about what to do with your bag. Projects that are truly profitable have already taken off. What are you waiting for? Don’t say it out loud, brother. If you say that, how dare I go all-in?

To be honest, this wave of AI hype is just a game of hot potato; sooner or later, someone will be unable to keep up. When the bubble bursts, small retail investors' money will be lost in vain. Who the hell can clearly say how much these AI projects are really worth? History always repeats itself, and we're just here to pay tuition. Honestly, it's all about betting on who can run faster; there are actually few who are truly building products.

Here comes the empty talk again, always the same script. The question is, who cares? Anyway, those who should run have already run, and the bagholders have already entered the market. --- History will repeat itself, but this time I feel like it's different... though I can't quite put my finger on what's different, I just have that feeling. --- Real fundamentals? Brother, you're joking. In our circle, it's all about funding through stories. --- If it breaks, it breaks. I've already lost enough, can it get any worse? --- Capital flow... uh, I only know it flowed into certain people's wallets, that's all. --- It's a bit late to reflect now, it should have been done at the beginning of the year. It's already September. --- But honestly, every cycle someone calls it a bubble, but with AI, there are indeed people doing real things. The question is, how much of it is genuine? --- When will the bagholders appear? I'm still waiting. --- I've read this kind of article at least five or six times. Give me something fresh.

Another story of cutting leeks... Is it real? How long can this AI hype last? --- Once the funding channels close, how many projects will die... Basically, no one is willing to take over. --- Is the capital flow truly creating value? Nonsense, everyone is just flipping assets among themselves. --- It’s always like this—prosperity bursts in an instant. --- Rising expectations? That’s a joke; anyone who believes it is foolish. --- The bagholders are still dreaming; it’s time to wake up. --- Once liquidity dries up, let’s see who can still hold on... That’s the reality. --- A bubble? I think there’s no substantial content at all. --- I’ve heard this rhetoric too many times; the problem is, it’s unstoppable.

You're here to bash again, always the same rhetoric... But on the other hand, how many are actually entering the market now are really betting on someone to take over the position. However, compared to this wave of AI, I'm more worried about what to do if no one is left to take over the projects later. History always repeats itself; when the bubble bursts, no one can escape. Properly setting stop-losses is the key.

It's the same old story... Dapps and NFTs were hyped up like this in the early days, and what happened? This wave of AI has definitely made some people a fortune, but most retail investors are still holding the bag.
