You can take out GAIA and use any other project and I’m pretty sure you’d get a similar reaction, think about FET, AGIX, OCEAN etc, all these projects have really solid utilities but not as much hype as you’d get with memes.
There are 2 questions I would like to ask you, they're:
1. Since when have you been in this industry?
2. Are you in this industry purely for its utility, or just for the profit?
If you answer those 2 questions, I think we can judge you on how much you understand what's really happening in this industry & it's market. AFAIK, people are jumping into altcoins purely for profit, nothing else. Even if AI projects are solid, that doesn't mean they'll last. Older projects will be replaced by the new one, the more innovative ones & that's why.
I do agree with these questions.
1. If you've been here into this industry or already for a while then for sure Utility would be the least concern.
2. For Profit of course will be your main objective
This where we can definitely say that meme coins could easily overtaken that AI projects out there when it comes on shooting up its price to the moon. Whenever you do get dragged with that community
hype and FOMO then it would be that somewhat that addictive but you should be careful about it because it could make that devastating impact into your finances.
