An interesting phenomenon in the industry: the leaders of the world's top AI companies have publicly stated that Merge, an AI startup project, has the most imaginative technological approach in the brain-computer interface (BCI) field, even surpassing other similar solutions. However, after entering the crypto market, the valuation of this project was pushed down quite low—some even offered less than $25,000. The same project is regarded by professionals as "the most promising innovative direction," but it encounters cold reception in the crypto circle. This huge cognitive gap is indeed intriguing. Perhaps the market hasn't fully reacted yet, or retail investors' risk appetite differs, but such a mismatch usually doesn't last very long.

This is the crypto world. No matter how impressive the technical story is, it still gets overshadowed here. What’s the use of endorsements from AI giants? Retail investors only look at the chart to see if it can fly. Misalignment? I see it as an opportunity, it all depends on who dares to buy the dip. If Merge really takes off, these orders of 25,000 will regret it to death. The biggest profit is in the cognitive gap. The question is, when will the information gap be filled? The crypto world always follows this pattern: the most technically strong are often the most underestimated. But honestly, it’s normal that the BCI track isn’t catching fire; it’s too cutting-edge for retail investors to understand.

Here it is, the crypto circle is just the crypto circle, no matter how impressive the technical story is, you still have to learn to speak the language of coins. --- The AI giants boast extravagantly, but retail investors just don't buy it, it's hilarious. --- That's why I never go all in on a certain narrative; there are many underestimated projects. --- Wait, below 25,000? Isn't that a blood profit opportunity, or are there pitfalls? --- A typical cognitive disconnect: future technology in the eyes of professional institutions, but in the eyes of retail investors, it's just air coins. --- But to be fair, this mismatch won't last too long; either the project dies or the coin price soars. --- Those who understand technology and those who understand coins are two different groups, sad and funny. --- Another good project delayed by the crypto circle; do you want me to help reboot it as a meme coin? --- Basically, it's just a lack of popularity; with heat, everything is valuable. --- I think this kind of undervaluation is often the most dangerous; the next VC funding round might just take off.

People in the crypto world just don't understand what true technology is; they only follow trends and hype concepts... The Merge thing is indeed outrageous. A project endorsed by top AI experts was deliberately pushed down to floor price.

Oh wow, that's how the crypto world is. No matter how advanced the technology is, it can't beat storytelling ability. --- Is the Merge story just another form of cognitive arbitrage? Let's see who wakes up first. --- Buying a project valued by AI experts for 25,000? The price is so outrageous it's a bit tempting. --- The core issue is that the crypto community fundamentally doesn't trust AI entrepreneurs' valuation logic. Technical prospects ≠ token profitability. --- That's why some projects find it hard to raise funds in Silicon Valley but find it easier in the crypto world. --- Misalignments will eventually be corrected, but who dares to bet that the next correction will be this one? --- In simple terms, top AI company bosses value technological monopoly, while retail investors focus on the pump potential. --- If Merge really gets funded and hype kicks in, someone will say "I've believed in this all along," which is hilarious.
