Most people still cling to old thinking, believing that when tech giants enter the crypto space, it's just a simple addition of a quick exchange feature. But this view overlooks a deeper transformation—the very form of application itself is undergoing an unprecedented shift.
As AI becomes the new core of technological competition, what will these tech giants do? Focus solely on cryptocurrencies? Clearly not. Payments, social networking, e-commerce, international trade... all these functions will eventually converge into a super app. The future financial system will also be completely rewritten through this integration.
The true ambition of tech giants goes far beyond cryptocurrencies. What they aim to do is redefine the underlying logic of finance and life services. No longer isolated applications, but a comprehensive ecosystem that integrates social networking, AI services, digital assets, e-commerce, and daily life services. In this ecosystem, traditional bank accounts, payment apps, shopping software... will be integrated into more powerful smart devices, just like feature phones in the past.
There's an even more interesting dimension here. With the rapid advancement of AI reasoning capabilities, combined with sub-second information processing speeds and computing power beyond ordinary imagination, ordinary people's accounts are evolving into miniature hedge funds. The absolute advantage once held by quantitative traders will gradually be leveled under this large-scale AI empowerment.
Moreover, there won't be just one participant. Giants like OpenAI and Google are all laying out plans, and each new player entering the scene will directly empower on-chain infrastructure. This means that protocols at the application layer, with hundreds of billions of dollars in stable operation, are gradually taking shape. BTC as a store of value, ETH as a computing platform, the LDO liquidity ecosystem... all will find new positions in this reconstruction.
The present is indeed romantic, but the real opportunity always lies in the future you are building.
