This is going to sound very controversial, but I think the general trading populace is not ready to accept AI related projects as an option when it comes to investing long term. Now I obviously haven’t had a discussion with every trader, but you’d agree that more often that not traders are usually prioritizing profitability over utility, which is not necessarily a bad thing.For example the only reason I might be getting GAIA is me seeing it listed on cex like bingx and want to take advantage before Binance list it , and I intend to sell right after, I understand that it gives us tools to build, use, and earn from AI but like most people I’m not really a fan of committing to alts long term, and I think this is why memes have a lot of appeal. 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
Possible if they succeed to gather the attention of investor like what meme coins did.
If there's something great that can build hype with those tokens or there's something like good movement on which the gain huge pump came the same as what has been achieve by top meme alts then maybe there good chance that they can get those hypes that you are looking for. But for now try to focus on securing your profit since somehow its risky to deal with meme coins or those AI coins you mentioned since they didn't have reputation gotten yet and to bad for us if we fall again by scams. But let see if AI projects would get a hype this year.
