Last night I came across that Musk interview, and after watching it, I was completely shaken.

This time, he didn’t talk about rockets or battery technology at all—the whole conversation was about three things that could potentially reshape the wealth landscape. As someone who’s been in this space for years, I have to say—this information is more useful than studying charts for a whole week. Especially the breakthrough ideas he mentioned at the end could directly determine your situation next year.

Let me get to the point: what AI brings isn’t just simple job replacement, but a complete restructuring of how money is made.

Musk mentioned that by 2026, AI could surpass human intelligence. Does that sound far off? Actually, it’s already happening in the industry.

A few quant teams I know are now using AI to run strategy models, and their efficiency has skyrocketed. Tasks that used to take several analysts a whole week of late nights can now be done by AI in two hours. Plus, it can automatically identify and avoid those headache-inducing choppy markets.

But what’s really worth noting is this: AI is raising the bar for value creation.

In the past, if you knew a bit of tech, you could write a simple contract and make some quick money. In the future? AI might generate hundreds of contracts in minutes. At that point, only those who truly understand how AI works and also grasp the real needs of the industry will be able to create competitive products.

For people in the crypto space, this is actually a window of opportunity. The ones who keep shouting “AI will replace traders” are mostly those who haven’t tried using AI for sentiment analysis and data processing. The tools are there—it all comes down to how you use them.
