Recently, I talked with several friends from the United States, and here are some feedbacks:
The cryptocurrency industry is concentrated in New York, AI is concentrated in California, traditional finance is leaning towards cryptocurrency, and internet entrepreneurs are moving to AI.
AI entrepreneurs look down on the cryptocurrency industry, and strangely, many developers working on ZK are transitioning to AI.
Some well-known cryptocurrency VCs in the U.S. have a shocking lack of DPL, really becoming big retail investors and bag holders, sincerely paying for their ideals.
