Do ordinary people still have a chance in this space? Even though GPT-5's writing style almost gave me serious PTSD, the idea mentioned in the article about combining AI + crypto to 'boost productivity' and 'amplify financial sovereignty' is still a very valuable perspective. As the saying goes, 'the deeper the love, the deeper the hate.' Despite all the negatives, the shady dealings, and the lack of bottom lines in the crypto space, overall, it’s still the best track for ordinary people in our era. In other words, there’s still opportunity. With individual effort, it’s still possible to achieve social mobility in a field where traditional opportunities are scarce. This is a marathon, not a sprint, but growth is essential. One way for ordinary people to turn things around is to dive into 'emerging tracks.' One sign of its effectiveness is that your education level and background don’t strongly correlate with whether you can achieve big results. On the flip side, when the money-making potential of a track becomes widely known, and highly educated, smart people start flocking to it, you’ll know the 'window of opportunity' for ordinary people is slowly closing. With that in mind, crypto/blockchain still holds promise. Especially now that AI serves as a 'productivity equalizer' amplifier. But seriously, you’ve got to act fast, folks. When you notice more and more smart people around you, and everyone seems to be from top schools like Tsinghua or Peking University, it’s definitely not a good sign for us average folks.
