Crypto will not be replaced by AI. It will be absorbed into AI finance. Just as we no longer need to say “mobile internet,” the “crypto” prefix may eventually disappear when all finance becomes algorithmic finance.
Humanless Blockchain may be the moment when the Smart Economy truly begins to operate.
