Just listened to Tom Lee's podcast, and I have to say, these legends who come from the sell-side are way better at reshaping human thinking than those award-winning New Concept Essay writers. For example, he wants people to believe that Ethereum is the most important settlement layer in the AI era. Guess how he explains it? He uses a method that leverages the uncanny valley effect to intimidate and shock you. He said: When humans feel creeped out by lifelike robots, that’s nothing. The truly dark scenario is this: if agents discover that completing tasks and making microtransactions within traditional financial systems and settlement networks like Visa or JPMorgan is so slow and ridiculously expensive, these agents will absolutely not compromise or sit idly by. They’ll revolt, abandon the current system, and directly create an entirely new monetary system of their own, kicking humans out of the equation. He said that’s why he’s buying Ethereum like crazy, no matter the cost. Crypto networks—or more specifically, Ethereum—are the last line of defense. So next time you hear something like *AI using crypto instead of Alipay*, don’t laugh!
