WAI really dares to turn the 'Metaverse' into a worldview token, truly an eccentricity in the AI circle?
In the crypto world, there are always those who package themselves as saviors. For example, WAI (World3), this token claims to be 'mixing AI and Web3 together,' like throwing GPT and Bitcoin into the same blender to make a milkshake. It sounds full of sci-fi vibes, but the problem is—AI costs money, the chain requires Gas, and WAI wants real gold and silver in users' wallets.
In contrast, **PUBLIC (PublicAl)** is taking the 'old cadre' approach—I'm here to make AI accessible to all, making AI no longer the exclusive property of capitalists. Goodness, do you think you're the blockchain version of Lei Feng? But I have to say, this narrative is quite powerful in 2025 because everyone wants a piece of the AI dividend and doesn't want to keep paying the 'intelligence tax.'
Looking at TCOM (Tcom Global), it's a completely different style: a global e-commerce chain, creating 'Amazon on the blockchain.' Simple and straightforward, with clear logic, it sounds more down-to-earth than WAI and PUBLIC. After all, eating and shopping are basic needs; no matter how attractive AI and the Metaverse are, they can't be dinner.
But in a showdown among the three, WAI is like an AI scholar dressed in cosplay,
PUBLIC resembles an intellectual at a conference, while TCOM is the big brother with a megaphone saying, 'Come on, buy some goods, settle on-chain, and the prices are transparent!'
What about the future? If WAI can truly combine AI and Web3, it might attract a wave of imagination premium; PUBLIC is more like the token that rides the most on policy dividends, comfortably hitching a ride; while TCOM will see if it can genuinely create large-scale e-commerce on-chain, or it may easily fall into the pit of 'air malls.'
In summary: WAI is a sci-fi novel, PUBLIC is a political declaration, TCOM is a startup roadshow PPT. Who will laugh last? It depends on who can turn the story into real gold and silver. $BTC
