There's something amusing about the reversal we're witnessing in the crypto and AI landscape.

Previously, the crypto crowd was hyped about certain developments that AI researchers were openly dismissing as mediocre. Fast forward, and the roles have flipped entirely.

Now AI researchers are getting excited about the same types of innovations, while the crypto community sits back saying "that's weak stuff." It's a complete asymmetry in perspective.

Whether it's about adoption cycles, technical innovation, or just different lenses on what matters—this role reversal tells you something about how these communities operate and evolve at different speeds.
