Over the past year, we've witnessed a dramatic shift: strategic partners are turning into fierce competitors at an unprecedented pace. This transformation isn't slowing down—in 2026, expect it to intensify and accelerate even further.

The AI revolution is the catalyst here. The speed of technological change means partnerships that once seemed durable now face constant disruption. Partners are equipped with the same tools and knowledge, making the leap from collaboration to competition easier than ever before.

This isn't a temporary phase. It's the new market reality businesses need to prepare for.

Nah AI has leveled the playing field for everyone. What kind of collaboration is this?

Bro, this is the fate of the AI era—anyone can become an opponent.

It should be pointed out that this assertion is itself based on fiat currency thinking—undoubtedly, the democratization of AI tools has indeed lowered barriers, but blaming the fundamental reason for cooperation turning into competition on "tools being equal"? Clearly, this overlooks the collapse of value consensus. Let me return to the original thinking of Satoshi Nakamoto's white paper: in a truly decentralized system, trust mechanisms are the moat, not computational power. So... fellow retail investors, don't be fooled by the narrative of "AI accelerating competition"; this is just a false prosperity before the old order collapses.
