Most people in the crypto world have misunderstood a concept: storage ≠ memory.

Look at projects like Filecoin and Arweave—they're like huge warehouses. Data stored there truly won't be lost, but the problem is—when you really need it, you have to dig through everything to find it. Very inefficient.📦

Now consider projects like Neutron and Vanar, which are entirely different in nature. They are like your cerebral cortex, where information exists in your thoughts and can be called upon instantly. Response speed is milliseconds.⚡️

What is the current bottleneck faced by AI models? It's not lack of cold storage—cold storage is everywhere. The real bottleneck is **real-time response capability**.

For example, AI needs to determine within 0.1 seconds: "This user prefers high-leverage trading," and then immediately adjust the strategy. This millisecond-level "reflex arc" can only be provided by projects with high-performance computing capabilities.

So stop comparing storage coins with computing layer projects. One is a warehouse for storing things, the other is a thinking brain. In the era of AI explosion, the brain is always more valuable than the warehouse.🧠💎

The storage coin is indeed overhyped this time; quick response is the key.

I actually saw through this logic a long time ago. Filecoin is just stacking hard drives, really not interesting ``` The computing layer is the future. If the response speed is a little slow, the entire strategy collapses ``` But to be honest, I still have some doubts about projects like Vanar... ``` Neutron is more reliable, at least the network stability is solid ``` Storage and computing are basically two ends of infrastructure, but indeed computing has a greater weight ``` No wonder everyone is chasing high-performance solutions; efficiency is money ```

Really, I’ve never understood why so many people are still speculating on storage coins. Reading this analysis finally made me realize how big the difference is.

To be honest, this analogy is indeed insightful. Storage projects are like hard drives, while the computing layer is like the CPU. Essentially, they are fundamentally different things.

Storage coins might have got the direction wrong; the real money is always in the computing power sector.

Oops, another new concept for cutting leeks, sounds just like the real thing Storing coins is just a warehouse manager, the computing layer is the real brain—I've heard this kind of rhetoric before, every new project claims the same But on the other hand, can Neutron really respond in milliseconds? From on-chain data, it looks completely congested, yet they hype it up as if it's the cerebral cortex, hilarious In the AI era, quick response is necessary, I agree, but how do you know this isn't just another marketing tactic for a capital pump? The question is, can this kind of computing layer project survive the next bear market, or will it just go back to zero?
