@davidgerard well, the potential utility is way more obvious. Crypto is and always has been pretty worthless, and also involves a ton of risk. You can use LLMs without taking a big financial risk. You can spend a weekend with a free trial and build an app that you never release and costs you nothing. With crypto you have to put up money, then you do something like dump it into a defi project, then inevitably lose that money, or fall for a wallet scam, or whatever.
