Barry Silbert, the head of crypto conglomerate Digital Currency Group (DCG), claims that decentralized AI (deAI) could surpass Bitcoin in impact, marking it as the forthcoming significant phase in crypto. Emphasising the synergy between AI and blockchain technology, Silbert believes deAI could offer more equitable dividends compared to existing AI systems by giants like OpenAI. DCG has invested heavily in deAI, including $105 million in various projects and supporting infrastructure like Bittensor's ecosystem. Silbert's insights were part of his Q4 shareholder letter, which also marked 2024 as a year of rebuilding and growth for DCG.
