There are some companies behind it
Clear economic driving force for developers
It is the evolution of BTC after its development. In the early years, BTC did not even have an exchange and could only be bought and sold through C2C platforms such as Taobao. At that time, there was no clear economic interest drive behind which companies.
The driving force that supported BTC from its inception to its existence,
It's not actually 'romantic',
On the contrary, it is a tangible 'survival need':
Unlimited freedom for individuals to use money without being constrained or controlled by power
Since its inception, Bittorrent has also been:
Unlimited freedom for individuals to access files.
People's demand for freedom is universal at the bottom, just like the "Internet" used by mainland people has been emasculated by power regulation, so for mainland Internet users, climbing the wall is a real need for survival, not "romantic". Decentralized VPNs have not been widely adopted simply because this issue only exists in local areas and is not a global problem. Even simple drones in mainland China are under regulatory control.
However, AI agents have too much room for capability evolution,
It is almost 100% certain that the future will be controlled by power regulation,
And it must be all centralized entities worldwide,
Both enterprises and governments will support regulation.
As long as one agrees with this judgment, it is equivalent to agreement,
The development of decentralized AI is 100% inevitable,
This is just like BTC, not romantic,
It is the individual's pursuit of unlimited freedom in using AI,
Resulting from natural conflicts with centralized institutions and power.
So once a person wants to use decentralized AI,
If fiat currency is still used as the main economic lifeblood for the computing power token required by this DeAI, it is equivalent to the life and death of this DeAI network still being controlled by power. From this perspective, DeAI's demand for Crypto from "Optional → Required" may not necessarily wait until the step of "complete AI autonomy", but can start with "AI autonomy under human leadership".
