Investment Opportunities for Ordinary People: AI + Crypto

Since its launch, the Genesis Launches platform by Virtual has received a good reputation, with most of the projects successfully launched so far being quite reliable and providing decent returns to participants.

Recently, this launch platform has seen a particularly hot project: BurnieAI.

How hot is this project?

During its launch, the subscription rate reached 1696%, which means it was oversubscribed by 16 times. After the launch, the project's opening price soared by up to 40 times.

Here’s a brief overview of the project:

This is a project that uses AI to assess code quality. In addition to evaluating code, the project incorporates popular elements like entertainment and attention into code writing, assessment, and competitions, helping engineers write code and improve quality through various light-hearted and humorous methods.

The team members are well-known professionals in the industry, having gained some fame and recognition in Ethereum hackathons and Virtual hackathons.

In terms of economic policy, the project promises to use 40% of its revenue for token buybacks and burns.

Moreover, this project has a relatively rare feature compared to others: before going to the platform for financing (according to some online data), it already had nearly 5,000 users using this AI agent.

From the project’s introduction, I believe that having a certain number of users already is a significant plus.

This reminds me of some views expressed by Zhu Xiaohu regarding AI investments recently.

He mentioned that when investing in AI projects, it is important to consider whether the project already has a certain number of real users and whether there is a genuine demand.

While criticizing the current hype around humanoid robots, he said: buying a bunch of robots to make them dance is not a real demand; if robots can solve specific problems for humans and meet concrete needs, then there are real users.

I feel that this increasingly pragmatic investment style and project evaluation approach is also accelerating its penetration into the AI + Crypto field. In the future AI + Crypto ecosystem, projects that focus on solving specific problems, even if they are niche issues, may attract more investor interest than those that only talk about grand ideals.

On the other hand, the niche area this project focuses on, "code quality detection," seems to be closely related to the current hot topic in the AI field, "AI programming."

Recently, AI programming has garnered significant attention in the industry.

For example, OpenAI recently announced plans to spend $3 billion to acquire the AI programming startup Windsurf. OpenAI's goal in acquiring this company is not so much about its user base but rather about obtaining the vast amount of data generated from human-computer interactions. This data can be used to train OpenAI's models.

Perhaps hitting this hot topic is also why this project has attracted so many users vying for a share.

Overall, these projects give me the impression that both in terms of investment style and investment areas, they are increasingly aligning and resonating with traditional AI investments.

Additionally, such projects can be considered "white horses" to some extent. Based on past experiences, white horse projects often provide significant returns in the investment market primarily to angel investors, and qualifying for angel investments requires a very high threshold and strict limitations. Ordinary investors are left out.

Although the Genesis Launches platform also has certain thresholds, it is not insurmountable for ordinary investors, and with a little effort, there is still an opportunity to participate.

This is truly a great benefit.
