You’re kinder than I would be! I’m hesitant to give crypto even that much credit for forethought; the scamminess of both strikes me as opportunistic, people seeing new ways to extract $ from VCs etc.
Still, I think you’re on to something about the core tech mattering. Lots of the research we call “AI” is rooted in solving actual problems (sometimes successfully, even), which is not really true of blockchain.
