Going beyond the hype of Crypto x AI: Vapourware or not? | Crypto x AI Event


Listen Later

Are Crypto AI tokens just vapourware? Join Jose Maria Macedo (Delphi) for this high-stakes debate with Kyle Samani (Multicoin Capital) and Emad Mostaque (Stability AI) to explore:


- The current state of decentralized GPU marketplaces

- The role of data DAOs and IP rights in AI development

- Viability of decentralized training and inference

- The future of AI agents and identity systems

- Which crypto AI verticals show real promise vs hype


This candid discussion separates signal from noise in the rapidly growing crypto AI sector, examining where true value creation is happening and which areas may be getting ahead of themselves.


"I think we're seeing a weird nexus of crypto hype and AI hype happening at the same time...they're not going through the standard development process." - Emad Mostaque
