2024 Outlook and Reflection on the encryption Industry

The cryptocurrency industry in 2024 will revolve around three themes:

1. The impact of AI. The development of AI is disrupting traditional writing and creative methods, presenting significant challenges to practitioners.

2. The mainstreaming of encryption currency. With the changes in the political landscape, encryption currency is entering the mainstream financial sector, but it also faces the risk of losing its original intention.

3. The revitalization of the Solana ecosystem. Solana is becoming one of the preferred public chains for developers and users.

For 2024, we need to reflect on the following points:

• Technological advancements are reshaping the way we think and work. We must keep pace with the times and actively adapt to new tools.

• Decentralized technology is expanding from the financial sector to other areas. We should embrace this change.

• The encryption industry is entering a period where actual profits exceed ideals. We must be vigilant not to lose our original intention.

• In the face of the impact of AI, we must maintain an open and cautious attitude, continuously learning and exploring.

• To control fear emotions, view market fluctuations rationally.

• The Memecoin market is diversifying, with traditional and new models coexisting.

• In the face of AI development, we should choose a positive and optimistic attitude, exploring new possibilities.

• AI is changing our perception of intelligence. We need to realize that progress is a gradual process.

• AI agents will thrive and may form large autonomous enterprises.

• We must be vigilant about the alienation of human nature by AI and maintain our ability to think independently.

• Pay attention to emerging topics such as Futarchy, the escape velocity of longevity, etc., and maintain an open mind.

• In trading, seek volatility rather than safety, but also take profits at the right time.

• The encryption industry is deeply integrating with AI. Our identities and roles are also changing.

• Open source and decentralization are the major trends. We must embrace change and promote human progress.

• Be vigilant against AI's domestication of humanity, and maintain the essence of human nature.
