Regarding the topic of whether it is profitable to use artificial intelligence for cryptocurrency trading, after extensively using openclaw and claude code, and spending hundreds of millions of tokens, I have summarized some personal insights.

First of all, it is unrealistic to expect AI to actively create wealth for you. Many people have a misconception that simply issuing instructions to AI for stock or coin trading will automatically lead to profits. However, the reality is that most participants in the recent AI cryptocurrency trading competition ended up with losses.

Secondly, the true core role of AI lies in transforming your ideas into reality. If excellent ideas are the underlying framework, then AI is the force that gives it substance and helps it to continuously iterate and evolve. Through this assistance, perfection can ultimately bring about returns.

Thirdly, artificial intelligence will bridge the gap in cognition. In the past, most people's means of profit relied on information asymmetry and cognitive differences. If the internet era eliminated information asymmetry, then the AI era will further eliminate cognitive gaps. For example, it is like equipping a student who does not perform well with AI tools, allowing them to have the capability to gain admission to Tsinghua University or Peking University.

Fourthly, for entrepreneurs, this is the best of times. Looking back at the historical process, profits were made by creating websites in the internet era, by developing apps in the mobile internet era, and now in the AI era, the core opportunity lies in building intelligent agents. Whoever can effectively use AI to create intelligent agents that truly solve practical problems will achieve economic returns.

Finally, regarding how to truly master the use of AI, we can categorize it into several tiers. The bronze tier is limited to using general large models for basic chatting and searching. The silver tier understands how to use precise prompts, i.e., using accurate keywords to assign specific tasks to AI as a capable assistant. The gold tier has mastered automation and workflows, able to decompose, distribute complex tasks, and achieve collaboration, batch processing, and automated operations, which is equivalent to commanding AI as a team. Reaching this level typically enables monetization through AI. The diamond tier involves building proprietary vertical AI, training it using private data and strategies, enhancing algorithms, and forming a closed-loop of data feedback. Typically, those who reach this level are professional institutions in fields such as research or quantitative finance.
